Because is above the 15,000 gift per person per year, it will trigger the gift tax.

B) 70,000 will generate a long-term capital gain of 20,000

C) gift of 5,000 it will not trigger the gift tax.

Explanation:

Consider two nations, Spendia and Savia. The MPC for Spendia is 0.8, and the MPC for Savia is 0.5. Assume that both nations expe

ruslelena [56]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The increase in income for Spendia will be:

= 1 / (1 - MPC)

where MPC = 0.8

= 1 / (1 - 0.8)

= 1 / 0.2

= 5

Increase in income = Gross investment × multiplier

= $100 × 5

= $500 million

The increase in income for Savia will be:

= 1 / (1 - MPC)

where MPC = 0.5

= 1 / (1 - 0.5)

= 1 / 0.5

= 2

Increase in income = Gross investment × multiplier

= $100 × 2

= $200 million

you learned a variety of fundamental economic concepts. Identify two of the following principles, and apply them to the real-wor

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Government policies can help stabilize the economy.

Economic condition of any economy can be determined by determining its GDP and level of employment in the economy. Government policies like Fiscal or Monetary Policies can help stabilize the economy. If the economy is passing through recession,the expansionary monetary or fiscal policies can be implemented by the government. Government can reduce the CRR and Repo Rate and relaxes taxation policy so that more amount is left with the people to raise their living standards. On the other hand, at the time of prosperity,contractionary monetary or fiscal policies can be used . CRR and Repo Rate can be raised and tight taxation policy leave the public with less disposable income and thus their demands come down.

Increasing productivity leads to economic growth

Any economy stands on basically four pillars : GDP, Inflation, Employment and National Income.

As the productivity improves,the GDP of the economy grows.For higher level of production higher level of worker participation is required leading to higher level of employment. It will lead to higher supply of commodities and thus the price and inflation can be controlled. Higher level of employment also leads to higher level of National Income.Thus overall, the economic growth takes place.

Thus we can say that Increasing productivity leads to economic growth.

What experiences have led you to choose a certain career?

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

From a personal experience they're a lot of moments in my life that led up to my decision to choose my career. From being constantly told that I was really good at something and that I was made for this certain career path, and just influences from others who are in the same work I am in and how good they were at their job and inspiring me to be just like them. All of those together helped influence me to choose the career that I am now working hard everyday to make sure I achieve success in.

Hope this helps.

he St. Augustine Corporation originally budgeted for $360,000 of fixed overhead at 100% normal production capacity. Production w

OLga [1]

Answer:

$9000 (unfavorable).

Explanation:

Given: Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000.

Actual fixed overhead=$ 360000.

Actual production= 11,700 units.

The variable overhead rate was $3 per hour.

The standard hours for production were 5 hours per unit.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance is difference between actual production volume and budgeted production. It help in measuring the effecient use of fixed resources. It is termed as favourable if actual fixed overhead exceed the budgeted amount, however, it is unfavorable if the actual fixed overhead is less than budgeted amount.

Now, lets calculate the Actual fixed overhead cost.

Actual fixed overhead cost= $\textrm{actual fixed overhead}\times \frac{Actual\ production}{Budgeted\ production}$

∴ Actual fixed overhead cost= $\$ 360000\times \frac{11700}{12000} = \$ 351000.$

Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000.

Next calculating the fixed factory overhead volume variance.

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\textrm{Actual fixed overhead cost}-\textrm{budgeted fixed overhead}$

We know, Budgeted fixed overhead= $360000 and Actual fixed overhead cost= $351000

∴ The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $\$351000-\$360000= \$ 9000 (unfavorable)$

The fixed factory overhead volume variance= $9000 (unfavorable)
