<span>Decrease by $57,400 per month.
Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a.
Continuing to produce
Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100
Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700
Fixed overhead = $109,000
Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600
So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it.
Income = $0
Variable Expenses = $0
Fixed overhead = $71,000
Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000
So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000.
The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>
Answer:
In this situation, most of the NASA workforce would still be composed of austronauts with jet fighter experience because they would be lured by the higher wages offered to them.
However, the difference would lie in that there would also be some austronauts without jet figther experience, who would still try to get into NASA, despite being offered lower wages.
This is a different situation to the current one, where jet fighter experience is an requirement to become a NASA austronaut, which means that those without this type of experience are barred from entering NASA, no matter how low of a wage they would be willing to take.
Answer:
June 1st:
Retained Earnings (Dr.) $8,000,000
Dividends Payable (Cr.) $8,000,000
June 30th
Dividends Payable (Dr.) $8,000,000
Cash (Cr.) $8,000,000
These entries will remain same even in the case of liquidating dividend.
Explanation:
On June 1st the dividend is declared so the journal entry will be
Retained Earnings (Dr.) $8,000,000
Dividends Payable (Cr.) $8,000,000
There will be no journal entry on June 14th.
On June 30th the dividend is paid:
Dividends Payable (Dr.) $8,000,000
Cash (Cr.) $8,000,000
The entry would not have differed if it was a liquidating dividend.
Answer:
D. agents will immediately adjust their expectations of inflation up.
Explanation:
Expansionary monetary policies are geared towards stimulating economic growth. The Fed can impose lower interest rates or purchase bonds and securities in open market operations as expansionary tools. Lowering interest rates encourages banks and other lending institutions to lend money to firms and households.
Purchasing bonds and securities adds money to the banking system. The increased money will be loaned out to businesses and individuals. The availability of low-cost credit motivates firms to borrow and expands their business capacities. When households borrow with ease, it leads to an increase in consumption expenditure. These actions result in too much money in circulation, which is inflation.
