Answer:
Real Surplus is $200 billion
Explanation:
Inflation = 14%
Debt = $4 trillion = $4,000 billion
Nominal deficit = $360 billion
Real Deficit = Nominal deficit - (Inflation*Debt)
= $360 - 14% * 4,000
= $360 - 560
= -$200
Hence, the answer is Real Surplus of $200 billion

Answer:
Production= 13,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated inventory (units), June 1 18,500
Desired inventory (units), June 30 19,000
Expected sales volume (units):
Area X 3,000
Area Y 4,000
Area Z 5,500
Total= 12,500
To calculate the production for the period, we need to use the following formula:
Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Production= 12,500 + 19,000 - 18,500
Production= 13,000
Answer:
Direct Material Cost
= Cost of hardware + cost of wood
= 42,300 + 121,200
= $163,500
Direct labor
= Wages of Assembly workers + Finishing workers
= 87,400 + 74,100
= $161,500
Manufacturing Overhead
= Depreciation + Factory prop. taxes + Factory rent + Glue + Production Supervisor salary + Utilities for factory + Wages for maintenance workers
= 32,000 + 15,500 + 50,000 + 3,030 + 41,200 + 27,800 + 33,200
= $202,730
Prime Cost
= Direct labor + Direct material
= 161,500 + 163,500
= $325,000
Conversion Cost
= Direct labor + Manufacturing Overhead
= 161,500 + 202,730
= $364,230
Total Period Cost
= Advertising + Sales Manager's salary
= 25,600 + 41,500
= $67,100
