Once the GDP is determined the GDP Per Capita can also be solved for. To figure out the GDP per capita one must divide your GDP: 140,000 by the country’s population of 500,000 or [140,000/500,000=0.28]. The GDP Per Capita is 0.28. The composition of GDP by percentage is 28%. The way this relates to Keynesian economics: (the theory of the total spending of the economy) is due to its impact of increase in government spending in short run and long run.

When the buy-back price is more than or equal to $75, the buyer would purchase 18,000 units because the buyer could receive the largest profit in 18,000 units compared with other quantities. This decision doesn’t make sense, because the manufacture should focus on the profit, and his goal is to maximize the profit. From the trend analyzed above, the profit would decrease as the buy-back price increases when the order quantity is fixed, so to induce the buyer to purchase the
We can compute the levered value of the plant using the WACC method. Goodyear’s WACC is  Therefore,  A divestiture would be profitable if Goodyear received more than $47.6 million after tax. Problem 18-5 Suppose Alcatel-Lucent has an equity cost of capital of 10%, market capitalization of $10.8 billion, and an enterprise value of $14.4 billion. Suppose Alcatel-Lucent’s debt cost of capital is 6.1% and its marginal tax rate is 35%. a.What is Alcatel-Lucent’s WACC?
Using the following calculation, we find: z= x- μ σ -1.96 = 10,000 – 20,000 σ σ=5102 Standard deviation σ = 5,102 μ = 20,000 mean 2. Stock outs were calculated by the four management numbers. Equation is: z = (x – μ)/ σ 15,000: Z = (15,000-20,000)/5102 z = -0.98 Then, reference the cumulative probabilities for standard deviation table in the beginning of the book to identify what -0.98 represents, which is .1635. Since stock outs are any quantity greater than what management suggested, they need to be subtracted from 1. 1 - .1635 = .8365 which = 83.65% Same logic/steps for the rest of the values: 18,000 24,000 28,000 Z = (18,000-20,000)/5102 z=(24,000-20,000)/5102 z=(28,000-20,000)/5102 z = -.39 z=.78 z= 1.57 1 - .3483 = .6517 1 - .7823 = .2177 1 –.9418 = .0582 which = 65.17% which = 21.77% which = 5.82% 3.
