Answer:
$420,000
Explanation:
Given the above information, 
Dividend 
= $75,000 × 40%

Answer:
it does not measure quality-of-life factors ; it does not account for distribution of wealth ; it fails to measure non monetary (home production) activities
Explanation:
Real GDP is the total value of goods & services produced in an economy, during a period of time. But it is not correct measure of welfare level. 
- It does not measure non monetary production, like hobby production eg kitchen gardening, self made paintings, music. But, they increase welfare 
- It does not take into consideration the qualitative factors affecting welfare like pollution, crime & literacy. Externalities cause extra benefit or harm to welfare level, but are excluded from GDP. 
-  Inequitable distribution of  per capita (average) GDP increases rich poor standard of living divide. So, the distribution effect ignored make GDP an inapt measure of average welfare level. 
Real GDP adjusts the value of goods & services for price change (Inflation), it is a correct measure of increase in real flow of goods & services. GDP & health positive correlation is a favouring point for GDP as a measure of welfare. So, these options are incorrect.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A). to track monthly changes in prices paid by urban consumers.
Explanation:
CPI(Consumer Price Index) is characterized as 'a statistical estimate of the price level of goods and services bought by consumers for consumption purposes by the households.' It primarily aims to estimate the change or swap in the prices of the weighted average price of the common basket(consumption goods, as well as, services that the consumers pay for). It is calculated using the formula;

where,
 = current Consumer Price Index
 = current Consumer Price Index
 = Current price basket
 = Current price basket 
 = Cost of price basket in the base year
 = Cost of price basket in the base year
It assists in deducing whether the average prices have received a fall or rise and determines inflation or deflation. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
