Answer:

b

b

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

When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not 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

a 12-inch Subway sandwich purchased by a student is the only final good and thus it would be included in GDP as part of consumption spending on non durable goods

the lettuce, the bread and the plastic bags constitute intermediate goods. Including intermediate goods in the calculation of GDP would lead to double counting

Lake Power Sports sells jet skis and other powered recreational equipment. Customers pay one-third of the sales price of a jet ski when they initially purchase the ski, and then pay another one-third each year for the next two years.

In 2020, Lake began operations and sold jet skis with a total price of $690,000 that cost Lake $345,000. Lake collected $230,000 in 2020, $230,000 in 2021, and $230,000 in 2022 associated with those sales. In 2021, Lake sold jet skis with a total price of $1,860,000 that cost Lake $1,116,000. Lake collected $620,000 in 2021, $430,000 in 2022, and $430,000 in 2023 associated with those sales. In 2023, Lake also repossessed $380,000 of jet skis that were sold in 2021. Those jet skis had a fair value of $142,500 at the time they were repossessed. In 2020, Lake would recognize realized gross profit of:

Classic Limo, Inc. provides limousine service to Tri-Cities airport. The price of the service is fixed at a flat rate for each trip and most costs of providing the service are stable for each trip. Marc Pence, the owner, budgets income by estimating two factors that fluctuate with the economy: the fuel cost associated with each trip and the number of customers who will take trips. Looking at next year, Marc develops the following estimates of contribution margin (price less variable cost of the trip, including fuel) and for the estimated number of customers. Although Marc understands that it is not strictly true, he assumes that the cost of fuel and the number of customers are independent.
Contribution Margin Per
Scenario Ride (Price - Variable cost) Number of Customers
Excellent $40 10,500
Fair $25 6,000
Poor $15 4,500
In addition to the costs of a ride, Marc estimates that other service costs are $50,000 plus $5 for each customer (ride) in excess of 6,000 rides. Annual administrative and marketing costs are estimated to be $25,000 plus 10% of the contribution margin.
Required:
1) Using the above information, construct an Excel spreadsheet to prepare an analysis of the possible operating income for Classic Limo, Inc.
