GDP usually includes final goods and services produced in a year. Suppose Honda produced a product in Japan in the year 2013 but sold it in 2014. Would this be included in Japan's GDP calculation for 2014? Explain. Can we include the value of stocks and bonds sold in the same year in GDP? Discuss.

Aplant manager is considering buying additional stamping machines to accommodate increasing demand. the alternatives are to buy 1 machine, 2 machines, or 3 machines. the profits realized under each alternative are a function of whether their bid for a recent defense contract is accepted or not. the payoff table below illustrates the profits realized (in $000's) based on the different scenarios faced by the manager. alternative bid accepted bid rejected buy 1 machine $10 $5 buy 2 machines $30 $4 buy 3 machines $40 $2 refer to the information above. assume that based on historical bids with the defense contractor, the plant manager believes that there is a 65% chance that the bid will be accepted and a 35% chance that the bid will be rejected. what is the expected value under perfect information (evpi)?
