All yearly government spending is broken up into two categories; Mandatory spending which is required by law and Discretionary spending which is spending that must be approved each year by Congress.

Mandatory spending is spending that is required by current law. Most federal mandatory spending is in the form of safety net and entitlement programs, including the Food Stamp program, Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Safety net programs represent “transfer payments” by which the government redistributes the income of the taxpayers by collecting taxes and providing services for those less fortunate and who do not provide any type of good or service in return. Entitlement expenditures include Medicaid and Social Security in which money that has been collected from taxpayers is then given back to those that contributed once they reach a certain age or meet other requirements. Other forms of mandatory spending include veterans benefits. For example, being a veteran means that you have already provided a service for which you were guaranteed, by law, certain benefits and payments (salary once you served your term/retirement, college benefits once you served your term, health insurance after you served your term, etc.). Because the law requires that these benefits be paid once the military personnel has served their term, these expenditures are mandatory and are automatically included in the US budget each year. The amount included for these expenditures is based on the number of citizens who “qualify” for these payments whether safety net, entitlement, or veteran benefits. Many other mandatory expenditures fall under the US budget. Over half of the entire US budget is mandatory which means that it cannot be changed without a change to the law.

About one-third of federal spending is Discretionary. This means that while this spending is for programs that are considered necessary to the operation of the US, they must be re-approved each year by Congress through a vote. The largest category of Discretionary spending is National Defense which must be approved each year. Other categories of Discretionary spending include education assistance, Interstate transportation programs, national parks, the Justice / Court system, and science, space, and technology research programs.

An appropriation is an Act which congress passes to approve discretionary spending. For example, one category of spending on education may be mandatory but congress may want to increase spending through an appropriation (or a special vote) which places the extra spending under the discretionary piece of the budget. One example of an appropriation that increased mandatory spending in the US annual budget is that of the Veteran’s Choice program. Veteran’s health benefits are required by law (they have served and part of their payment for serving is free health care after they retire). However, to receive their health benefits veterans have historically been required to utilize specific Doctors and hospitals. This is the law and therefore part of the mandatory budget. However, an appropriation was passed in 2019 which added extra funding to allow veterans to visit any Doctor they chose and be treated at any hospital of their choosing. The funding for this change is part of the discretionary budget and had to be approved by congress.

How can life expectancy and literacy rates affect the quality of labor in the economy?​

Comparison of two alternatives for breakeven An IE works in the automation department of a surgical equipment manufacturing company that produces specially ordered equipment for hospitals. To upgrade the quality of the assembly process of the camera used in laparoscopic surgery probes, two approaches are available: make and buy. The make alternative has an initial equipment cost of $175,000, a life of 5 years, a $25,000 salvage value, a processing cost of $3,000 per camera, and an M&O cost of $80,000. The buy alternative requires contracting the assembly operation externally at a cost of $6,750 per camera. If the MARR is 12% per year, how many cameras per year must be assembled to justify the make alternative?

The company is now using only 70% of its normal capacity; it could fully use its normal capacity by processing the assembly further and selling it for $51 per unit. If the company does this, material and labor costs will each increase by $2 per unit and variable overhead will go up by $1 per unit. Fixed costs will increase from the current level of $160,000 to $225,000. Prepare an analysis showing whether Jensen should process the assemblies further.
Use a negative sign with answer to only indicate a loss from processing assemblies further; otherwise do not use negative signs with your answers.

The local supermarket buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. Each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $6.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $18.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $3.60 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 254 boxes with a standard deviation of 37 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should the supermarket purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of boxes
