“If it has ‘science’ in its name, it ain’t (Minnick).” Those words were said to this writer by the smartest person he ever knew personally, a man with PhDs in Mathematics and Physics, a true scientist. He went on to explain that science, if it is science, can be reduced to mathematics and then can predict. “Science can generate electricity or flatten cities,” he said. The problem, of course, is that whenever one deals with the “soft sciences,” political science or economics (the dismal science) or sociology or history or any of the disciplines that are housed in ...

Q. 1. A. To calculate nominal, real, and GDP deflator, the following equations were used. Nominal (NGDP = Quantity (year) X Price (year), while real GDP) can be expressed as (RGDP = Nominal / Deflator), and GDP deflator can be expressed as (GDPD = Nominal / Real GDP X 100%). Therefore; (See Table 1.) B. For multiple items, calculating CPI requires a weighed average of the commodity price. In this sense, the prices of listed items were calculated as (Average = Bread price +TV Sets + etc. / 5) for each year. After which, the CPI was calculated using the equation (CPI of Multi ...

Abstract

Decision-making under risk occurs when there is an uncertainty about the states of nature that can occur, but the probabilities of each of the states of nature occurring have already been determined. We can use these probabilities to determine additional strategies for decision-making. One such strategy is the Expected Monetary Value (EMV) approach for making an optimal decision. In the problem where the company had to decide on the right investment approach, the company had already done research to determine the various possible states of nature for each of the alternatives as well the probabilities of each of these ...

Court allows Wife to consider inherited farm inputs as part of the expenditure of carrying out farming business even when the deceased husband had deducted the same expenditure. The court held that the petitioner could deduct the cost of all the farm inputs from the 2011 farm income. This is despite the husband tax returns indicating the same cost were deducted in calculating the tax payable in 2010. Thus, the court held that commissioner of internal revenue was wrong to disallow the petitioner from deducting the expense.

The Cost of Education

Introduction The cost of education has spiraled higher in the recent past, and this trend is not surging down anytime soon. However, the impacts of the high cost of education have restricted a majority of academically potential students in the cold as having no chance to compete for some top-rated Colleges and Universities. Notably, the middle-class has been hit so hard by the rising cost of education since they are not capable of funding their children’s education in the prestigious Colleges, and at the same time not so poor to have the necessary merit for the education subsidies. ...

Part 1: Expenditures Approach to Calculating GDP

2. The process of inflation significantly influences the value of nominal GDP. The real GDP is calculated with a view to present real economic situation on the basis of GDP and other financial indicators of particular year. The real GDP presented in the table is calculated on the basis of chain-type quantity index as well as 2009 current-dollar value of the corresponding series. Therefore this index weights more than one period simultaneously being more reliable determinant of economic development. The nominal GDP of all the periods is greater than the real GDP that proves the phenomenon of inflation comparing ...

Benefits and drawbacks of VAT

As a taxing system, VAT has been used globally since the 1950’s and it presents unique benefits and drawbacks in itself. First, VAT is beneficial in generating income for governments which is important to cover government expenses as Stiglitz and Rosengard, (2015) observe. Since VAT is vast and is imposed to most produced goods and services, most governments regard it as money production engine. Through this taxation system also, tax evasion is minimized. Consequentially, a reliable income source is achieved by governments. Through value added tax system, it is also possible to enter into regional protocols (Pomeranz, 2015). ...

The above section was crystal clear to me. With a population with sample means x̅1, x̅2, x̅3, x̅4, x̅5, and, x̅ for example, the sampling distribution involves all the averages. It follows that the sampling distribution of the sample means would give the average of the entire population. Moreover, the standard deviation of the sample means is the same as the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size (n). And this value is the standard error of the mean. However, the topic of finding probabilities was clear ...

Introduction

Weighing machines have long been used for measuring weights of various objects. The basic principle behind weight measurement is balancing of force due to gravity of an object with some known standard. You could easily find weight of small objects by using standard weighing balances having pair of pans i.e. one carrying the object to be weighed and the other is used to put loads of known weights until machine is balanced. This method cannot be applied on large scales involving heavy machinery, vehicles, or even humans. Another traditional method of weighing involves balancing force of an object due ...

Three methods exist for measuring national income – the output, income, and expenditure approaches. The output approach measures the value added or intermediate output at the industry level in a year (Yin). Nations estimate the gross output in various sectors, the intermediate output, and the decrease in the value of assets from depreciation. The GDP then results from either adding up all the different components of intermediate output or subtracting the value of depreciation from the gross output or the intermediate output. For instance, if the cost of pig iron, rubber, steel, and other components used in making a car ...
