In a market economy, which of the following is NOT an accepted role of government?

In July, 2013 the consulting firm Mercer released results from a survey where workers in the U.S. expected a 2.9% increase in pa

Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 2.9% pay increase in 2014 for U.S. workers will cause the AS (aggregate supply) curve to shift inward in the short-run, signaling a decline in the quantity supplied.

Explanation:

The supply quantity declines because a pay increase increases suppliers' cost of production and reduces their ability to produce more goods and services. On the contrary, a fall in workers' pay causes the aggregate supply curve to shift outward, thereby increasing the quantity supplied. In the long-run, the pay increase will increase aggregate demand, thereby pushing prices to increase, while, at the same, suppliers try to increase the quantity supplied to meet with increased prices and demand.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

The correct answer for future value if first payment occur today is $449,645.24 and if first payment occur at the end of year is $408,761.13.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Payment (pmt) = $7,990

Rate of interest (r) = 10%

Time (n) = 19 years

So, we can calculate the future value by using following formula:

Future Value ( if payment occurs today) :

FV = Pmt (((1+r)^n - 1) ÷ r) x (1+r)

By putting the value:

= $7,990 ((( 1+ 0.10)^19 -1) ÷ .10) × ( 1 + 0.10)

= $7,990 ( 51.16) × ( 1.10)

= $449,645.24

Future Value ( if payment occurs at the end of year):

FV = Pmt x ((1+r)^n -1)) ÷ r)

= $7,990 ((1 + 0.10)^19 -1) ÷ 0.10)

= $7,990 × 51.16

= $408,761.13

You can purchase an item you need for a project for $10,000 and it has daily operating costs of $500, or you can lease the item

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

On the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

Explanation:

Given that:

Daily operating costs of $500
Purchasing cost for the item: $10,000
Lease amount: $700

Let x is the number of days the purchase cost be the same as the lease cost. As we now that:

The total cost should be equal to the total lease received

<=> 10,000 + 500x = 700x

<=> 200x = 10000

<=> x = 50

Hence, on the 50th day, the purchase cost will be equal to the lease cost

The Southern Corporation manufactures a single product and has the following cost structure: Variable costs per unit: Production

Illusion [34]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

The computation of carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing is seen below;

Before that, we have to determine the unit cost

Unit fixed manufacturing overhead = $120,400 ÷ 6,020 units = $20

Then, the difference will be;

= Unit fixed manufacturing overhead × change in inventory in units

= $20 × (6,020 units - $5,920)

= $20 × 100 units

= $2,000 less than absorption costing
