Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions
Explanation:
In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.
As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.
Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
Answer:
The sales unit to achieve a target profit of $6,250 is 545 units
The sales units to achieve to achieve a target profit of $9,400 is 590 units
Explanation:
The quantity at target profit=fixed cost+target profit/contribution per unit
fixed expense=$31,900
target profit $6,250
contribution per unit=$140-$70
=$70
unit sales at a target profit of $6,250=($31,900+$6,250)/$70
=545 sales units
fixed expenses $31900
target profit of $9400
contribution per unit is $70
unit sales at a target profit of $9,400=($31900+$9400)/$70
=590 sales unit
Answer:
$88.24
Explanation:
The computation of the intrinsic value of a share of Xyrong stock is shown below;
k = risk free rate of retunr+ beta[expected market rate of return - risk free rate of return]
= 10.5% + 1.5(17% - 10.5%)
= 20.25%
Now
growth rate = b × ROE
= .5 × 24%
= 12%
Now the intrinsic value of the stock is
= (($13 × 50%) × (1 + 0.12)) ÷ (0.2025 - 0.12)
= $88.24
Answer:
This is how the market for board games would be affected in the explanation below
Explanation:
Because the manufacturers of the board game expect that the demand for their games would experience a decline, they would have to adjust their Production according to the decline. This is going to shift supply curve to the left, because of the decline in the production. Then equilibrium price would then increase as the quantity decreases because of the shift of the supply curve to the left.
