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

Answer:

The correct answer is introductory.

Explanation:

In short, it is the stage where the conception, definition and experimental period of the product is fixed, studies say that more than 70% fail to launch to the market. It is characterized by:

  1. Low sales volume
  2. Great technical, commercial and communication investment.
  3. Great effort to fine-tune the manufacturing means.
  4. Difficulties to introduce the product in the market.
  5. Low saturation of your potential market.
  6. Few bidders.
  7. Special dedication of the sales team.

In summary, this phase is characterized by a negative profitability due to the great resources that are necessary to manufacture, launch and refine the product, compared to the sales volume achieved.

The Harleysville Manufacturing Shop produces motorcycle parts. Typically, 10 pieces out of a job lot of 1,000 parts are spoiled.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

B

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250

Explanation:

spoilage rate: 10/1000 = 0.01=1%

the job requires 2,500 goods parts

total part required (considering spoilage)

\frac{requirement}{1-spolage} =$total needs

2,500 /(1-0.01) = 2500/ 0.99 = 2525.2525 = 2525

2525-2500 = 25 spoilage part

<u>Note:</u>

in this case you may think you can simple do 2,500 x 0.01

But if the spoilage rate is high or the amount of high is, then you will have an answer different than the correct method. Stick to the formula given.

25 part x 50 = 1,250

From the work in process, we will subtract this value, we will increase the spoilage materials inventory and charge the diference as actual overhead.

b.

Materials Control $ 250

Manufacturing Overhead Control $1,000

              Work-in-Process Control $1,250
