Recent news articles have noted that women are "a crucial part of society and they are an untapped resource.") From your point of view, what impact will more women participation in the world economy have on the global GDP?
Answer:
The more women participate in the labor force and the global economy, the more the global GDP will grow. For too many years and in too many countries women have been forced to carry out only domestic labor, but that should end. A woman is perfectly capable to do the same tasks as any man.

Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Only goods produced in a country would be included in the GDP. for this reason, the calculator would not be included in GDP

Freedom Inc. has 8 employees within Denver City and County. All of the employees worked a predominant number of hours within the city. The employees earned $9.80 per hour and worked 160 hours each during the month. The employer must remit $4.00 per month per employee who earns more than $500 per month. Additionally, employees who earn more than $500 per month must have $5.75 withheld from their pay.
What is the employee and company Occupational Privilege Tax for these employees? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Employer = $32
Employee = $46
Explanation:
Given that :
Number of employees = 8
Earning per hour = $9.80
Hours worked per month per employer = 160
Amount employer must remit per employee who earns more than $500 = $4
Employees who earn more than $500 must have $5.75 withheld
Total earning per employee per month :
$9.80 * 160 = $1568
Earning is beyond $500
Hence,
Amount withheld from employee :
8 * $5.75 = $46
Amount remitted by employer :
8 * $4 = $32
Hence,
The occupational privilege tax for ;
Employer = $32
Employee = $46
Consider an economy with a corn producer, some consumers, and a government. In a given year, the corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and the market price for corn is $5 per bushel. Of the 30 million bushels produced, 20 million are sold to consumers, 5 million are stored in inventory, and 5 million are sold to the government to feed the army. The corn producer pays $60 million in wages to consumers and $20 million in taxes to the government. Consumers pay $10 million in taxes to the government, receive $10 million in interest on the government debt, and receive $5 million in Social Security payments from the government. The profits of the corn producer are distributed to consumers.
Required:
a. Calculate GDP using (i) the product approach, (ii) the expenditure approach, and (iii) the income approach.
b. Calculate private disposable income, private sector saving, government saving, national saving, and the government deficit. Is the government budget in deficit or surplus?
Answer:
a. GDP using product approach
There are no intermediate goods inputs. Corn producer grows 30 million bushels of corn and each bushel of corn worth is $5.
GDP = 30 million * $5
GDP = $150 million
GDP using expenditure approach
i) Consumers buy 20 million bushels of corn
Consumption = 20 million * 5
Consumption (C) = $100 million
ii) Corn producer adds 5 million bushels to inventory
Investment = 5 million * $5
Investment (I) = $25 million
iii) Government buys 5 million bushels of corn
Government spending = 5 million * $5
Government spending (G) = $25 million
GDP = C + I + G
GDP = $100 + $25 + $25
GDP = $150 million
GDP using income approach
Profit income = $150 million - $60 million - $20 million
Profit income = $70 million
Government income = Taxes paid by the corn producer = $20 million
GDP = $60 million + $70 million + $20 million
GDP = $150 million
b. Private disposable income = GDP + Net factor payments + Government transfers + Interest on the government debt - Total taxes
Private disposable income = $150 million + 0 + $5 million + $10 million - $30 million
Private disposable income = $135 million
Private savings = Private disposable income - Consumption
Private savings = $135 million - $100 million
Private savings = $35 million
Government savings = Government tax income - Transfer payments - Interest on the government debt - Government spending
Government savings = $30 million - $5 million - $10 million - $5 million
Government savings = $10 million
National savings = Private savings + Government savings
National savings = $35 million + $10 million
National savings = $45 million
Government budget surplus = Government savings = $10 million
Government deficit = (-) $10 million
The correct amounts of different calculations in an economy with corn producer, consumers and government are as follows,
1. GDP as per product approach will be $150 million.
2. GDP as per the expenditure approach will be $150 million.
3 GDP as per the income approach will be calculated as $150 millions.
4. The net disposable income will be calculated as $135 million.
5. The private sector savings will be calculated as $35 million.
6. The government savings will be $10 million.
7. The National savings will be calculated as $45 million
8. And the government budget surplus is calculated as $10 million.
The calculation of financial status of an economyThe calculation of GDP can be done using the different approaches by using different formulas and putting the given values. [tex]\rm GDP\ Product\ Approach= \$30\ x\ 5\\\\\rm GDP\ Product\ Approach= \$150\ million[/tex]Using expenditure approach,[tex]\rm GDP = \$(100+25+25)\ million\\\\\rm GDP= \$150\ million[/tex]Using Income approach[tex]\rm GDP = \$(60+70+20)\ million\\\\\rm GDP = \$150\ million[/tex]Now calculating private disposable income [tex]\rm Private\ disposable\ income = GDP\ + Net\ factor\ payments\ + Government\ transfers\ + Interest\ on\ the\ government\ debt\ - Total\ taxes\\\\\rm Private\ disposable\ income = \$(150 + 0 + $5\ + $10\ - $30) \rm million\\\\\rm Private\ Disposable\ Income= \$135\ million[/tex]Now calculating Private Sector Savings[tex]\rm Private\ Savings = Private\ Disposable\ Income\ - Consumption\\\\\rm Private\ Savings = \$(135-100)\ million\\\\\rm Private\ Savings= \$35\ million[/tex]Now calculating government savings, [tex]\rm Government\ Savings\ = Government\ Tax\ Income\ - Transfer\ Payment\ - Interest\ Government\ Debt\ - Government\ Spending\\\\\rm Government\ Savings\ = \$(30 - $5 - $10 - $5) \rm million\\\\\rm Government\ Savings\ = \$10 million[/tex]Now calculating National Savings [tex]\rm National\ savings\ = Private\ savings\ + Government\ savings\\\\\National savings = \$(35 \ + $10) \rm million\\\\National\ savings = \$45\ \rm million[/tex]Now calculating government deficit\surplus [tex]\rm Government\ Budget\ Surplus = Government\ Savings\\\\\rm Government\ Budget\ Surplus = \$10 million[/tex]
Hence, the different financial calculations regarding the standings of the economy as on such date are as aforementioned, and it can be concluded that the government budget is in surplus.

Tom Johnson Manufacturing intends to increase capacity through the addition of new equipment. Two vendors have presented proposals. The fixed costs for proposal A are $50,000, and for proposal B, $70,000. The variable cost for A is $12.00, and forB, $10.00. The revenue generated by each unit is $20.00.a) If the expected volume is 8,500 units, _______(proposal A or proposal
b) with a total profit = $______ should be chosen(enter your response as a whole number).
Answer:
For 8,500 units, proposal A provides a higher income ($3,000).
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Proposal A:
Fixed cost= $50,000
Unitary cost= $12
Proposal B:
Fixed cost= $70,000
Unitary cost= $10
We need to choose the proposal with the higher income if 8,500 units are produced.
Proposal A:
Net income= 8,500*(20 - 12) - 50,000
Net income= $18,000
Proposal B:
Net income= 8,500*(20 - 10) - 70,000
Net income= $15,000
For 8,500 units, proposal A provides a higher income ($3,000).
Suppose that an appraiser has come to the following conclusions in evaluating the subject property. Due to the dramatic shift in the perceived safety of the neighborhood, values of any residential properties in the area of the subject property have fallen by $10,000, on average. Due to the subject property's age, physical deterioration to the building accounts for an estimate of S50,000 in lost value. An evaluation of the floor plan reveals that it is quite obsolete relative to current homebuyer preferences. This has a detrimental effect on the value of the property that is estimated to be approximately $15,000.

Schultz Electronics manufactures two ultra high-definition television models: the Royale which sells for $1,580, and a new model, the Majestic, which sells for $1,270. The production cost computed per unit under traditional costing for each model in 2020 was as follows.
Traditional Costing Royale Majestic
Direct materials $650 $420
Direct labor ($20 per hour) 120 100
Manufacturing overhead ($42 per DLH) 252 210
Total per unit cost $1,022 $730
In 2017, Schultz manufactured 25,000 units of the Royale and 10,000 units of the Majestic. The overhead rate of $42 per direct labor hour was determined by dividing the total expected manufacturing overhead of $8,449,220 by the total direct labor hours (200,000) for the two models. Under traditional costing, the gross profit on the models was Royale $458 ($1,480 - $1,022) and Majestic $540 ($1,270 - $730). Because of this difference, management is considering phasing out the Royale model and increasing the production of the Majestic model. Before finalizing its decision, management asks Schultz's controller to prepare an analysis using activity-based costing (ABC). The controller accumulates the following information about overhead for the year ended December 31, 2017.

6) The ________ section of the statement of cash flows includes increases and decreases in long-term assets. A) investing activities B) operating activities C) non-cash operating activities D) financing ac
Answer:
A) investing activities
Explanation:
The cash flow statement includes three sections which are Operating Activities, Investing Activities and Financing Activities. This means that non-cash operating activities is not a section in the cash flow statement.
In the section, operating activities is where the decrease or increase in the current assets and current liabilities is mentioned. Therefore, this sections does not state the long term assets affects. Financing activities refers to those funds that are affected by the change in non-current liabilities (such as bank loans) and capital.
Investing activities is the part in the cash flow statement where the impact of non-current assets (long term assets) are referred out such as acquisition and/or selling of properties, plant and equipment. Therefore, part A) investing activities is the correct answer.
The plaintiff and the defendant entered into a three-year contract in which the defendant would be the sole supplier of steel parts that the plaintiff used in its products. A dispute arose after the defendant sought to surcharge the parts sold to reflect increased costs. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit for breach of contract, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, finding on a special verdict that there had been a valid modification to the contract, based solely on e-mails between the parties. Is this evidence enough to support a reformation of the contract?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Emails show an agreement between the defendant and the plaintiff and as long as they are proved to be actually between the parties, it is considered evidence.
We must note that the price of the material is one of the most significant elements of any selling or manufacturing agreement and there must be a written agreement on the terms of increase in price to accommodate any changes in the price of the material by both the parties in the agreement.
Is email considered a legal document?As the court found that there has been a modification of the terms of the contract only on the basis of the written e-mails, in my opinion, it is not a valid argument.
Contract Modification Law?Any changes in the terms of the contracts must be included in the new or modified agreement. Thus, in my opinion, it is not a valid reason to form a modified contract unless a new contract is made including the new terms and conditions.

Adjusting Journal Entry for the inventory shrinkage for the year ended December 31:
Debit 510 Cost of Merchandise Sold $3,180
Credit 130 Merchandise Inventory $3,180
To record inventory shrinkage.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Merchandise inventory on December 31 = $397,250
Physical inventory on December 31 = $394,070
Shrinkage = $3,180
b) Inventory Shrinkage is a cost to the business. It occurs when the physical inventory count yields an amount that is less than the amount in the accounting records. It may happen for some reasons, including theft, errors, damage, or loss. The best way to record inventory shrinkage is to debit the Cost of Goods Sold and to credit the Inventory account.
PLEASE HELP DUE SOON!!Using the financial data as appropriate, calculate the following ratios year ending –
(i) Net Profit margin
(ii) Current ratio
(iii) Gearing ratio
(iv) Return on capital employed
(v) Interest Cover ratio
(vi) Gross Profit Margin
Answer:
i) 33.2%
ii) 3.7 times
iii) 7.8%
iv) 32%
v) 164 times
vi) 60.89%
Explanation:
Net profit margin = Net profit / Sales
$31,130 / $93,700 = 33.2%
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
$28,430 / $7,550 = 3.7 times
Gearing Ratio = Debt / Equity
$7,550 / $96,680 = 7.8%
Return on Capital Employed = Operating Profit / Capital Employed
$57,050 - $25,730 / $96,680 = 32%
Interest Cover = Operating profit / Interest Expanse
$31,320 / $190 = 164 times
Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales
$57,050 / $93,700 = 60.89%

Answer:
$393,162
Explanation:
Units sold last year were 3,700
the projection for this year is an increase of 10% in volume.
projected units sales for this year will be
=110% of 3,700
=1.1 x 3,700
=4,070 units
The selling price last year was $75.
projected price this year is an increase by 40%
price for this year will be 140% of $75
=140/100 x $75
=1.4 x $75
=$105
Projected sales in dollar will be sales volume x selling price
= 4070units x $105
=$427,350
Purchase return = 8% of projected sales in dollars
=8/100 x $427,350
=34,188
Net projected sales
= $427,350 - $34,188
=$393,162

Suppose that at the current price of a good, the quantity demanded is 44 units and the quantity supplied is 40 units. We can expect: Group of answer choices the price of the good to increase. the price of the good to decrease. the demand for the good to increase. the supply of the good to decrease.
Answer:
the price of the good to increase
Explanation:
Quantity demanded = 44 units
Quantity supplied = 40 units
Here,
Quantity demanded [tex]>[/tex] Quantity supplied
This is a situation of excess demand.
If quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied then the supplier increases the price of the good.
So, option: the price of the good to increase is correct.
Consider the following data from the market demand and supply for apartments.
Rent Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied
$2,000 5,000 23,000
$1,800 8,000 20,000 $1,600 11,000 17,000
$14,000 $1,400 14,000
$1,200 17,000 11,000
$1,000 20,000 8,000
A. Suppose that the average monthly rent for apartments is $1,200. At this price, how many apartments will be rented in this market?
B. Is the market currently in equilibrium, experiencing a shortage, or experiencing a surplus?
C. What do you expect to happen to the average rent?
D. What is the equilibrium rent and quantity in the market?
Answer:
11,000
Shortage
rise
$14,000 14,000
Explanation:
At the price of $1200, only 11,000 apartments would be rented. This is the quantity supplied.
Because the quantity demanded (17,000) exceeds the quantity demanded (11,000), there is a shortage. Shortage exists when quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. Generally, when price is below equilibrium, there is a shortage.
Due to demand exceeding supply, prices would rise until equilibrium is restored.
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Equilibrium quantity is the quantity where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied

A firm must choose between two investment alternatives, each costing $105,000. The first alternative generates $35,000 a year for four years. The second pays one large lump sum of $152,500 at the end of the fourth year. If the firm can raise the required funds to make the investment at an annual cost of 9 percent, what are the present values of two investment alternatives
Answer:
Present Value of first option:
= -105,000 + 35,000/ (1 + 9%) + 35,000/(1 + 9%)² + 35,000/(1 + 9%)³ + 35,000/(1 + 9%)⁴
= -105,000 + 113,390.19
= $8,390.20
Present Value of second option:
= -105,000 + 152,500/ (1 + 9%)⁴
= -105,000 + 108,034.84
= $3,034.84
