Answer:

The correct answer is C. standard of living is ultimately determined by long-term growth.

Explanation:

The long-term path for economic growth is a fundamental issue of the study of the economy. The increase in the GDP of a country is usually considered as an increase in the standard of living of its inhabitants. Over long periods of time, even small annual growth rates, can have a significant effect. Thanks to its conjugation with other factors.

An annual growth rate of 2.5% would lead to GDP doubling over a period of 30 years. While an annual growth rate of 8%, it would lead to the same phenomenon in a period of only 10 years. Example: Some countries like Asian tigers. When a population increases to see improvements in living standards, GDP has to grow faster than that population. This analysis seeks to understand why there are very different rates of economic growth in some regions of the world.

Sylvester Co. takes out a 12% loan of $500,000 on 1/1/2014 to finance construction of a building for the company’s own use. Cons

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

2014 36,000

205: 24,000

Explanation:

500,000 x 12% = 60,000 construction realted per year

Capitalize:

timeline:

<--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--/-->

each month the company is doing an spending related to the construction. We must capitalize based on the amount investment.

The first month capitalize throught the whole year,

the second month 11 months

the third for 10 months and so on.

Therefore, the capitalize amount will be half of the cost of the year

2014: interest capitalized through the cost of construction

600,000/2 x 12% = 36,000

400,000/2 x 12% = 24,000

That's the maximum amount we can capitalize for construction.

Thornton Chicken Corporation processes and packages chicken for grocery stores. It purchases chickens from farmers and processes

maw [93]

Answer:

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 - 7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 - 9037,88 = 3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

Changing the allocation method detemriantes whether the drumstick are profitable or not thus, it should be considered which method is better suited.

Explanation:

Joint cost:

9,400 mateirals + 6,868 processing Total =

pounds to allocate cost:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&4000&0.44&7230.22\\Breast&5000&0.56&9037.8\\\\Total&9000&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]$

using market value:

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Product&Sales&Weight&Cost\\Drumstick&6600&0.3367&5478\\Breast&13000&0.6633&10790\\\\Total&19600&1&16268\\\end{array}\right]$

Then, we calcualte the gross margin under each method

Chicken drumsticks:

pounds 6,600 - 7,230.22 = -630,22‬

market value: 6,600 - 5,478 = 1,122

Breast:

pounds 13,000 - 9037,88 = 3,962.12

market value: 13,000 - 10.790 = 2,210.00

1. Suppose two types of firms wish to borrow in the bond market. Firms of type A are in good financial health and are relatively

Olin [163]

Answer:

Type A is 7%, type b is 11%

Explanation:

We have these two firm's as type a and type b

For type A

Interest would be = risk Free rate of 2% + risk free rate of 5% = 7%

For type B

= Risk free rate of 5% + risk free rate of 6% = 11%

I would use the average of this two 9% as interest but this is not going to work for type A because this interest rate is too high. People won't want to pay this much.
