of $2.3, and dividend per share (DPS) of 0.85 in its balance sheet on
December 31, 2010. In early 2011 analysts made the following forecasts for 2011~2015: EPS growth rate is 4.5%, and DPS growth rate is 2%. The required return for equity is 8.5% percent.
Case 1: If the residual earnings are zero after 2015, calculate the value per share at the end of 2010.
Case 2: If the residual earnings are at 2015 level for 2016 and beyond, calculate the continuing value at the end of 2015 and value per share at the end of 2010.
Case 3. If the residual earnings will grow at 4% per year for 2016 and beyond, calculate the continuing value at the end of 2015 and value per share at the end of 2010.

Question 7 (20 minutes) (AR and AFDA)
Gauthier Services uses the percentage of accounts receivable method
for estimating bad debts, and concludes at the end of the fiscal
year that 1.5 % of accounts receivable will become uncollectible.
Sales are $776,500 for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010 and
sales returns and allowances amounted to $20,800. All sales were on
account and the balance of accounts receivable at December 31, 2010
was $185,000 and the allowance for doubtful accounts, before any
year-end adjustments, had a debit balance of $449.
Instructions
a) Prepare any required adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010
b) Assume now that the percentage of sales method is used instead of the percentage of accounts receivable basis and that ½ of 1 % of net credit sales are estimated as being uncollectible. Also assume that the allowance for doubtful accounts has a debit balance of $650. Prepare any required adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010.
c) Show how net accounts receivable would be reported on the balance sheet after recording the adjusting journal entry at December 31, 2010, under the assumption (b) above.

I’ve got a three part question:
(a) As a response to the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the Commonwealth Government put in place lockdown restrictions. Using the dynamic AD-AS framework, analyse and demonstrate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the level of output (or real GDP), unemployment, and inflation.
(b) In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2020 the Commonwealth Government announced a fiscal stimulus which included income support for workers and businesses hit by the pandemic. Using the same dynamic AD-AS framework used in part (a), explain and illustrate the effect of the fiscal stimulus on the level of output (or real GDP), unemployment, and inflation.
(c) Using the same dynamic AD-AS framework used in part (b), show what the impact of the fiscal stimulus would have been if Australia had no interactions in trade or finance with other economies (i.e. if Australia was a closed economy).

The largest contributor of productivity
growth |
|
b |
The size of the capital stock in the economy explains roughly 70% of productivity growth. More and better plant and equipment make workers more productive. |
|
c |
Education and training have a contribution to productivity growth of 15%, and economies of scale and resource allocation have a combined contribution of 15%. |
|
d |
All of the above. |

e |
Only b) and c) |
Question 11 (1 point)
Which of the following statements is true?
|

The following macroeconomic data corresponds to a closed economy
(all values are in € billion):
Private Consumption 35,000
Public Spending 12,500
Taxes 10,000
Gross Domestic Product 50,000
Moreover, the investment function is estimated to be the following:
I=4,500 -200r
1) Write down the GDP identity [Y=C+I+G] stating the value in € of
each component. Explain your answer.
2) Calculate Total Savings, Total Investment, Private Savings,
Public Savings and the equilibrium interest rate.
3) Suppose that the government increases its level of expenditure to 14,000. What happens to private savings, public savings and total savings? Which new values do they take? What are the new equilibrium values for investment and the interest rate? Explain your answer and comment on the results
