When there is a technological advance in the ice cream industry, consumer surplus in that market will increase.

Technology is the result of accumulated knowledge and the application of skills, methods, and processes used in industrial production and scientific research. Technology is embedded in the operation of all mechanical and electronic devices, with or without detailed knowledge of their function, for the intended purpose of an organization. The technology of society consists of so-called systems. A system works by taking input, modifying that input through what is called a process, and producing a result that achieves the intended purpose of the system.

The earliest and simplest form of technology is the development of knowledge leading to the application of basic tools. The prehistoric invention of carved stone tools and the discovery of ways to control fire increased the food sources available to humans. This led to mobile technologies that helped exchange information and raw materials more quickly. Humanity then proceeded to develop the printing press, telephones, computers, and the Internet.

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Department C should be closed

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

A B C

$ $ $ Total

Sales Revenue 12,000 48,000 40,000 100,000

Operating cost 11,400 59,800 50,500

Operating income 600 (11,800) (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost 3,000 12,000 10,000

Contribution 3,600 200 (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000 × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution. It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed

Department C should be closed

Consider the economies of Macmillana and Bloedelo, which are identical except that the multiplier in Macmillana is smaller than

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Macmillana's GDP is less sensitive economic fluctuations than Bloedelo's GDP. Two reasons account for this:

1) The keynesian multiplier is smaller.

The keynesian multiplier tells us about the sensitivity of GDP to increases in domestic expenditure (consumption, investment or government purchases). If the keynesian multiplier is small, then, GDP will be less sensitive to fluctuations in aggregate expenditure.

2) Macmillana's economy has implemented automatic stabilizers, while Bloedelo's economy has not.

Automatic Stabilizers are government policies meant to reduce fluctuations in GDP. The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.

Automatic Stabilizers reduce the kenyensian multiplier, dampening Macmillana's GDP sensitivity to fluctuations even more.
