lukranit [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": are damages in excess of the plaintiff's injuries, awarded to punish the defendant.

Explanation:

Punitive Damages are penalties passed to the defendant of court cases on top of compensations they must pay to plaintiffs because of the faults they committed.

Thus, punish damages are imposed in an attempt to avoid other individuals to commit the same gross faults.

Suppose that you have the following information for an economy:______.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.

Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.

Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.

Explanation:

The aggregate expenditure (AE) can be calculated using the following formula:

AE = (A + (MPC * Y)) + PI + G + NX ………………. (1)

Where;

AE = aggregate expenditure = ?

A = Autonomous consumption = $500

MPC = Marginal propensity to consume = 0.80

Y = Real GDP

PI = Planned investment = $600

G = Government spending = $300

NX = Net exports = -$400

Based on the above, we can now proceed as follows:

Part 1. When real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.

This implies that:

Y = Real GDP = $4,500

Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:

AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $4,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $4,600

Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $4,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $4,600.

Part 2. When real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.

This implies that:

Y = Real GDP = $5,000

Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:

AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,000)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,000

Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,000, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,000.

Part 3. When real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $ _____.

This implies that:

Y = Real GDP = $5,500

Substituting this and other values given above into equation (1), we have:

AE = ($500 + (0.80 * $5,500)) + $600 + $300 - $400 = $5,400

Therefore, when real GDP is equal to $5,500, aggregate expenditure is equal to $5,400.

Box Elder Power Company expects to operate at 85% of productive capacity during May. The total manufacturing costs for May for t

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The unit cost below which Box Elder Power Company should not go in bidding on the government contract is $9.30

Explanation:

Box Elder power company produced 40,000 batteries in the month of May

Total Direct materials = $240,000

Total Direct labor = 100,000

Total Variable factory overhead = 32,000

Total Fixed factory overhead = 150,000

Total manufacturing costs = $522,000

So only relevant costs are:-

Direct Material per unit = $240,000 ÷ 40,000 = $6 0

Direct Labor per unit = $100,000 ÷ 40,000 = $2.5 0

Variable Factory OH per unit = $32,000 ÷ 40,000 = $0.8 0

Therefore total overhead = $9.3 0
