Advocard [28]

Answer:

Option 4 is definitely correct: Whether real GDP increased cannot be determined with the information given.

Explanation:

The information that is given only states that there has been an increase in the market value of final goods and services in two years. So, we cannot conclude that production increased in Rushya or average price levels increased there as per Option A and C respectively, because market value can be increased by both increase in production or price levels. Even Option B cannot be concluded as the real GDP is dependent on other variables as compared to the total market value.

Thus, only appropriate statement is option D: we cannot determine increase in real GDP with the given information.

Accrued Net Income will be calculated as below:

Sales                                                    $72800

Less Expenses                                     $20400

Cash Income                                         $52400

Less: Depreciation                                 $4900

Add: Accounts Receivable Inc              $4500

Less: Reduction in Prepaid Exp             $1900

Add: Reduction in Acc Liab                    $1700

Accrued Income                                   $51800

Depreciation will be reduced as its an expense and all expenses will be reduced.

Increase in Accounts Recievables indicate there have been sales which have not been paid for yet, thus sales will increase and this needs to be added

Reduction in Prepaid Expenses refer to expenses being paid off earlier but now need to be recognised, thus these need to be added to expenses

Reduction in accrued liabilitites indicate that expenses of previous period have been paid off now thus those need to be reduced from cash expenses.
