According to Okun’s law, for every 1 percentage point by which the actual unemployment rate exceeds the natural rate, a negative GDP gap of about 2 percent occurs. The actual unemployment rate exceeds the natural rate by 4 percent. This is calculated as follows :

Actual unemployment – natural unemployment = 9 – 5 = 4%.

Thus, according to Okun’s law the GDP gap is -8%.

If the potential GDP is $ 500 billion, the actual GDP is 8% lower than the potential GDP. In other words, 8% of the $ 500 billion is being forgone because of cyclical unemployment.

GDP forgone = 8% x potential GDP = 8% x 500 = $40 billion

On January 1, 2012, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $600,000. The machine has a five-year life,
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Piper should report $308,000 as net income for the year . Option C

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation till 2014 = [$600,000×(5+4+3)] ÷ 15 = $ 480,000

Book Value at beginning 2015 = $600,000 - $480,000 = $120,000

Depreciation Expense in 2015 = $120,000 ÷ 2 = $60,000

Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $ 500,000

Depreciation = $ 60,000

Electronic Benefits Transfer = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation

= $ 500,000  - $ 60,000  

=$ 440000

Tax Expenses = $440,000 × 30% = $132,000

Net Income =$ 308,000
