According to Prof. St. Clair, allowing Lehman Brothers to fail in 2008 breached the Fed's primary mandate, and worsened the financial crisis of 2008.

<h3>What caused the Lehman Brothers' failure?</h3>

The main cause of the failure of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank was its involvement in the subprime mortgage market.

Lehmann Brothers recorded unprecedented loss due to the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis.

The investment bank held onto large positions in subprime and other lower-rated mortgage tranches when securitizing the underlying mortgages.

Thus, according to Prof. St. Clair, allowing Lehman Brothers to fail in 2008 was a terrible decision because its failure breached the Fed's primary mandate, and worsened the financial crisis of 2008.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Total cost added including beginning inventory

Raw material = $136,000

Overheads = $180,960

Total = $316,960

Explanation:

As provided the opening Work in process units = 5,000 units

Units started during the period = 37,500 questions

Closing work in process = 8,000 units

That means units produced = opening + additions - closing

= 5,000 + 37,500 - 8,000 = 34,500 units

Provided cost of beginning inventory = $16,000 for raw material and $12,000 for overheads

Also it is 100% complete for raw material and 50% complete for overheads

That means raw material per unit = $16,000/5,000 = $3.20

And the overheads 100% = $12,000 \times 2 = $24,000

Overhead per unit = $24,000/5,000 = $4.80

Therefore, cost added during the period

Shall be

Raw material = 100% = 5,000 + 37,500 = 42,500 \times $3.20 = $136,000

Overheads = for 34,500 units 100% and remaining 8,000 = 40%

= 34,500 \times $4.80 + 8,000 \times $4.80 \times 40%

= $165,600 + $15,360

= $180,960

Total = $316,960

A firm sells a product in a purely competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output of 200 units is $4
posledela

Answer:

D. Should Shut Down

Explanation:

A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .

If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.

However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.

Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.
