Answer:
B. Increased competition
Explanation:
Free trade is an economic policy where there are no restrictions to imports or export of goods and services.
Before the free trade, Sapphira had market power. She could set the price of her products. She would probably set her prices high enough to maximise profits.
Due to free trade which introduces more products to the market, sapphira is no longer able to set her prices as high as she used to. If her price is too high, consumers would not purchase her products.
This is an example of increased competition.

Answer:
Predetermined overhead rate is $9 per labor hour
Explanation:
Estimated Direct-labor hours = 10,000
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = Estimated Fixed overheads + Estimated variable overheads
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = $50,000 + $40,000
Estimated Manufacturing overheads = $90,000
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated Manufacturing overheads / Estimated Direct-labor hours
Predetermined overhead rate = 90,000 / 10,000 = $9 per labor hour
Answer:
= $52,050
Explanation:
First, the question is as follows:
Calculate the number of pounds of raw material to be purchased in June
Solution
Step One: We determine what was produced in June and in July as follows
Budgeted Production = Budgeted sales + The desired closing inventory of finished products - the estimated opening inventory of finished products
- Budgeted Production in June= $15,600 + (0.3 x 19,600) - $4,680 (This is the ending inventory figure from May) = $16,800
- Budgeted Production in July= $19,600 - (17,600 units x 0.3)- $5,880 (this is the opening inventory calculated for June above) = $19,000
Step 2 : Determine the Purchased raw materials for June
- = (Production in June x 3) + Production in July x 3 x 0.25) - (Production in June x 3 x 0.25)
= 50,400 + $14,250 - $12,600 = $52,050
Given:
Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.8
Equilibrium real output = $500 billion
Full-employment output = $540 billion
Find:
Change in government spending ΔG = ?
Computation:
Change in output ΔY = Full-employment output - Equilibrium real output
Change in output ΔY = $540 billion - $500 billion
Change in output ΔY = $40 billion
Change in output ΔY = [1 / (1 - MPC)] × ΔG
$40 billion = [1 / (1 - 0.8)] × ΔG
$40 billion = [1 / (0.2)] × ΔG
$40 billion = [5] × ΔG
ΔG = $40 billion / 5
ΔG = $8 billion
Change in government spending ΔG = $8 billion.
Answer:
A. From the appreciation of the bonds
Explanation:
Zero or very low coupon bond do not pay much (coupon) in their life (so C eliminated). They are sold at a deep discount to investor. As time pass, the value of the bond usually increases to approach face value (hence A).
Normally investor still have to pay for the imputed ("phantom") interest that comes from their real return (B eliminated)
If interest rate increases, the bond will decreases in value to create the required return the new buyer when they eventually sell it (D eliminated)
