Answer:

GDP= 9,872

Explanation:

The Expenditure Approach is a method of measuring GDP by calculating all spending throughout the economy including consumer consumption, investing, government spending, and net exports. This method calculates what a country produces, assuming that the finished goods and services of a country equals the amount spent in the country for that period.

The formula is:

GDP=C+I+G+/-NX

GDP: Gross Domestic Product

(C) consumer spending – this is the amount that all consumers spend on goods and services for personal use.

(I) investment – this is the amount that businesses or owners spend to invest in new equipment or expansions.

(G) government spending – this includes spending on new infrastructure like bridges and roads.

(NX) net exports – this includes spending on a country’s exports minus its spending on imports.

GDP= 6,728+1,767 +1,741+(1,102-1,466)

GDP= 9,872

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

The probability that neither of both stocks increase  is 0,14

Explanation:

The Complement Rule states that the sum of the probabilities of an event and its complement must equal 1.

The data  we have is the probability that Stock A or B increase,  we are looking for the probability that neither occur,  so we have to use the complement of each one.  

Complement of Stock A =1-0.54=0.46

Complement of Stock B =1-0.68=0.32

If we want to know the probability of both events happening we have to multiply both complements.  

Probability that neither of these two events will occur= 0.46 x0.32= 0,1472‬

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

$7,986

Explanation:

To calculate the equivalent annual cost for 5 year period at an interest rate of 10% per year we need to go through some minor calculations first.

DATA

Cost in first year (A) = $10,000

Decrease in cost each year after the first year (G) = $560

Interest rate = 10%

Time period = 5 years

Solution

EAC = A - G (A/G, i, n)

EAC = $9,000 - $560(A/G, 10%, 5)

EAC = $9,000 - ($560 * 1.8101)

EAC = $9,000 - $1,013.656

EAC = $7,986
