Answer:
36 billion
Explanation:
The GDP can be calculated using the income approach in which the output of a country is equal to the total income people receive in that country.
GDP= Compensation of employees + Net interest + Rental income + Corporate profits
From this formula, you can isolate the compensation of employees:
Compensation of employees= GDP-Net interest - Rental income - Corporate profits
Compensation of employees= $65-$15-$7-$7
Compensation of employees= $65-$29
Compensation of employees= $36
The wages during 2009 in Sildavida were: $36 billion.
Answer:
Dealers profit comes from the spread primarily. Spread is the differential amount between buying and selling.
Explanation:
Let us assume the price of security X is USD 100 (last trade price)
A dealer will purchase this security at discounted price from the investor say USD 99 and will sell the same security in the market at USD 100, thus earning spread.
Further being market markers, dealers often use multiple strategies to prop up the price of particular security and earn gains on inventory held.
Answer:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $7.53 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The company's executives estimated that direct labor would be $5,130,000 (190,000 hours at $27/hour) and that factory overhead would be $1,430,000 for the current period.
We need to use the following formula:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,430,000/190,000= $7.53 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Explanation:
First find the Present Value of the Annuity giving payments of $32,000 annually for 25 years at the rate of 10%.
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
PMT = $32,000
P/y = 1
N = 25
R = 10%
FV = 0
Thus, the Present Value, PV is $290,465.28
At the time of retirement (in 20 years time) the Value of the annuity fund is $290,465.28.
Next we need to find the Payments PMT to reach this amount in 20 years time at the interest rate of 8%
Using a Financial Calculator enter the following data
FV = $290,465.28
N = 20
R = 8 %
PV = $0
Thus, the Payments, PMT required will be $6,347.3080
Conclusion :
Annual contributions to the retirement fund will be $6,347.31
Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.
