Answer:

The U.S. federal debt as a fraction of GDP in year 2050 will be 77%

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Debt in the end of 2018 = 104% of GDP

Nominal GDP growth = 3%

Interest on debt = 2%

In order to calculate What will be the U.S. federal debt as a fraction of GDP in year 2050 first we have to calculate the debt in 2050 using the following formula:

Debt in 2050 = Current Debt*(1+r%)n

Debt in 2050 = 104*1.0232 = 196

Next, we would have to calculate the GDP in 2050 using the following formula:

GDP in 2050 = Current GDP*(1+r%)n

GDP in 2050 = 100*1.0332 = 257.5

Therefore, Debt as percentage of GDP in 2050 = 196/ 257 = 77%

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Such a study is best characterized as a non-experimental study.

Explanation:

Non-experimental research is the study whereby a researcher cannot manipulate, control, or change the subjects of a research but instead, the researcher depends on observation, interpretation, or interactions to arrive at a conclusion. This means that in a non-experimental study, the researcher relies on surveys, correlations or case studies.

Non-experimental research has a great level of external validity because it is usually generalized to a bigger population. XYZ Corp making use of a survey is an example of non-experimental study.

York’s outstanding stock consists of 80,000 shares of cumulative 7.5% preferred stock with a $5 par value and also 200,000 share
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Dividend Each Year shall be

Year                2015          2016           2017           2018

Preference    $20,000    $28,000    $42,000    $30,000

Equity             $0              $0             $158,000    $320,000

Total Dividend

Preference = $120,000

Equity = $478,000

Explanation:

When the preference dividends are cumulative in nature the dividends shall be paid each year of the rate specified, in case not paid the, it is carried forward.

In the given case, preference dividend = 80,000 shares \times $5 \times 7.5% = $30,000

<u>Thus, in 2015</u>

Dividend to preference = $20,000

Dividend to Equity = $0

Also $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000 shall be carried forward.

<u>2016</u>

Dividend to preference = $10,000 Arrears

Current year = $28,000 - $10,000 = $18,000

Carry forward = $30,000 - $18,000 = $12,000

Dividend to Equity = $0

<u>2017</u>

Dividend to preference = $12,000 Arrears

Current year = $30,000

Dividend to Equity = $200,000 - $30,000 - $12,000 = $158,000

<u>2018</u>

Dividend to preference = $30,000

Dividend to Equity = $350,000 - $30,000 = $320,000
