Answer to Problem 1KC
Option 'e' is correct.
Explanation of Solution
The Gross Domestic Product is the sum total of the money values of all the goods and services produced within the political boundary of an economy within a specific period of time which is usually one financial year. The money value of all the final goods and services that are produced within the economy will be summated in order to calculate the GDP.
Option (e):
The GDP calculation includes the monetary value of all the final goods and services produced within the economy in the financial year only. Since the value of the used car is already included in the GDP calculation of the year in which it was produced, it will not go for double entry. The Apple stocks are not considered as the services and are also not included. The homemaker's services are also not included in the GDP calculation and also the same idea of the used car is applied on the Gulf war military surplus sale which means none of the given is included in the GDP calculation and that means option 'e' is correct.
Option (a):
The current exchanges in the stocks and bonds, the government security and welfare payments etc are not included in the GDP calculations. This means that the purchase of 100 shares of Apple stock is a financial asset and not a newly produced good. This means that the transaction is not included in the GDP calculation and that makes option 'a' incorrect.
Option (b):
One product will be counted for only once in the GDP calculation and that means when there is a resale of the product, it will not be accounted for the GDP calculations. Thus, the value of the car will be included in the year in which it was produced and that means the resale will not be accounted for GDP and therefore, option 'b' is incorrect.
Option (c):
The Homemaker's services are not easily valued because they do more than the accountable work of the maid. They do such works without any remuneration and that means the work is an unpaid and nonmarket transaction which makes the inclusion of the homemaker's services not possible in the GDP calculation and thus are not included. This means that the option 'c' is also incorrect.
Option (d):
Since gulf war military surplus is not produced in the year and is already accounted for the year in which they were produced, just like the sale of the used car, it will not be included in the GDP calculation. Thus, option 'd' is incorrect.
Gross Domestic Product: The GDP is the sum total of the money value of all the final goods and services produced within the political boundary of a country within the financial year.

- answerarrow_forwardDiscuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.arrow_forwardNot use ai pleasearrow_forward

- "Whether the regulator sells or gives away tradeable emission permits free of charge, the quantities of emissions produced by firms are the same." Assume that there are n identical profit-maximising firms where profit for each firm is given by π(e) with л'(e) > 0; π"(e) < 0 and e denotes emissions. Individual emissions summed over all firms gives E which generates environmental damages D(E). Show that the regulator achieves the optimal level of total pollution through a tradeable emission permit scheme, where the permits are distributed according to the following cases: Case (i) the firm purchases all permits; Case (ii) the firm receives all permits free; and Page 3 of 5 ES30031 Case (iii) the firm purchases a portion of its permits and receives the remainder free of charge.arrow_forwardcompare and/or contrast the two plays we've been reading, Antigone and A Doll's House.arrow_forwardPlease answer step by steparrow_forward
- Suppose there are two firms 1 and 2, whose abatement costs are given by c₁ (e₁) and C2 (е2), where e denotes emissions and subscripts denote the firm. We assume that c{(e) 0 for i = 1,2 and for any level of emission e we have c₁'(e) # c₂' (e). Furthermore, assume the two firms make different contributions towards pollution concentration in a nearby river captured by the transfer coefficients ε₁ and 2 such that for any level of emission e we have C₂'(e) # The regulator does not know the resulting C₁'(e) Τι environmental damages. Using an analytical approach explain carefully how the regulator may limit the concentration of pollution using (i) a Pigouvian tax scheme and (ii) uniform emissions standards. Discuss the cost-effectiveness of both approaches to control pollution.arrow_forwardBill’s father read that each year a car’s value declines by 10%. He also read that a new car’s value declines by 12% as it is driven off the dealer’s lot. Maintenance costs and the costs of “car problems” are only $200 per year during the 2-year warranty period. Then they jump to $750 per year, with an annual increase of $500 per year.Bill’s dad wants to keep his annual cost of car ownership low. The car he prefers cost $30,000 new, and he uses an interest rate of 8%. For this car, the new vehicle warranty is transferrable.(a) If he buys the car new, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(b) If he buys the car after it is 2 years old, what is the minimum cost life? What is the minimum EUAC?(c) If he buys the car after it is 4 years old, what is the minimum cost life?
