Answer:
Real GDP will rise by $100 million
Explanation:
Aggregate Demand [AD] is total amount of goods & services, all sectors of an economy are planning to buy . So AD = Aggregate Planned Expenditure [APE]
Aggregate Supply [AS] is total amount of goods & services, all sellers are planning to sell. As total output value of goods & services produced is distributed among factors of production, AS = National Income [NY] = GDP
At equilibrium : AD or APE = AS or NY or GDP
If AD or APE increases by $100 million :
AD or APE > AS or Aggregate Planned Production or GDP . This implies willingess to buy > willingness to produce. So, inventory levels will fall below desired level. To mantain inventory level, production [AS] & income level [GDP] will rise till it becomes equal to risen AD or APE
So, GDP will also rise by $100 million

Answer:
Explanation:
Under GAAP, every cost incurred should be classified into either period cost or product cost, where:
Product Cost:
The cost business has incurred right now, but will benefit from it in future for e.g. raw materials used to manufacture something which will be sold in next period (by the way period means the time span for which business is reporting its performance like year or quarter). these generally include direct labor, materials and manufacturing over heads
these costs should be capitalized and expensed out in future as the inventory is used.
Period Cost:
all other costs from which business has benefited completely in current period, including admin sales and distribution related costs
these should be expensed out in current period.
for warehousing costs, if they pertain to raw materials and semi finished goods they will be capitalized but if they pertains to finished goods they will be expensed out (as there is no benefit expected from them in future now)
for research and development, every research cost should be expensed out for e.g. feasibility studies under GAAP, but if product found to be commercially viable then the development costs can be capitalized as intangible asset(with the same logic as these will be exactly like manufacturing costs for tangible products).
Answer:
D. Operating activities.
Explanation:
A financial statement is a written report that quantitatively describes a firm's financial health. Under the financial statements is a cash-flow statement, which is used to record the cash inflow and cash equivalents leaving a business firm.
Cash flow statement, also known as the statement of cash flows, contains financial information about operating, financial and investing activities.
Hence, activities that involve the production or purchase of merchandise and the sale of goods and services to customers, including expenditures related to administering the business, are classified as operating activities. All the net income or cash from all operational business activities of a company is recorded as operating activities.
