Correct/Complete Question:
The United States produces computers and sells them to Russia. At the same time, Russia produces cars and sells them to the United States. Suppose there is an appreciation in the dollar. This will cause:
Answer:
increase in imports into the United States and decrease in exports to Russia will occur, which will cause a decrease in aggregate demand and real GDP
Explanation:
Aggregate demand is the total demand for a good or service in an economy at a given time. Real GDP on the other hand can be defined as an inflated value of goods and services in an economy at a certain period of time. An inflation of the dollar will increase imports into the united states as it would decrease the exports to Russia. This because the appreciation of the dollar will affect the prices of both computers and cars. And as such will
Answer:
3.33%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Real per capita GDP in South Korea in 1957 = $400
per capita GDP in South Korea in 1978 = $800
Total number of years taken to double the GDP = 21 years
Now,
Using the Rule of 70, which states that
Number of years to double the GDP = 70 ÷ (average annual economic growth rate )
thus,
21 years = 70 ÷ average annual economic growth rate
or
Average annual economic growth rate = 3.33%
Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.
For example: If the amounts of equipment and workers are both doubled in the production of bread then as a result the output of bread also doubled.
Suppose the capital and labor increases by 10% then as a result output also increases by 10%.
Answer:
$2,880
Explanation:
Given that,
Total machine-hours = 30,300
Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost = $ 575,700
Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour = $ 4.00
For Job T687:
Number of units in the job = 10
Total machine-hours = 30
Direct materials = $730
Direct labor cost = $1,460
Total variable overhead estimated:
= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour × Total machine-hours
= $4 × 30,300
= $121,200
Total overhead estimated:
= Total variable overhead estimated + Total fixed overhead estimated
= $121,200 + $575,700
= $696,900
Predetermined overhead rate:
= Total overhead estimated ÷ Total machine-hours
= $696,900 ÷ 30,300
= $23 per machine hour
Total overhead applied:
= predetermined overhead rate × Total machine hours for Job T687
= $23 × 30
= $690
Total job cost:
= Direct material + Direct labor + Total overhead
= $730 + $1,460 + $690
= $2,880
Answer: $53,600
Explanation:
Credit sales increase the balance on Accounts Receivables because they represent that people owe the business.
It is therefore included in the formula for calculating the ending balance of Accounts Receivables:
Ending accounts receivables = Beginning accounts receivable + Credit sales in May - Customer payments during May
19,000 = 24,600 + Credit Sales in May - 59,200
Credit Sales in May = 19,000 + 59,200 - 24,600
= $53,600
