Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions
Explanation:
In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.
As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.
Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
Answer:
$22.50 per unit
Explanation:
Mark -up is the percentage of cost that is earned as profit.
Using mark-up,
Selling price = Total cost + total profit
Total cot = Fixed cost + variable cost
Total costs = $400,000 + (10× 50,000)
= $900,000
Sales revenue = 125%× 900,000
= 1,125,000
Selling price per unit = Sales revenue/units
=1,125,000/50,000
= $22.50 per unit
Answer:
the options are missing, so I looked for them:
a. The buying of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
c. The selling of government bonds leads to lower interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
d. The buying of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
the answer is:
b. The selling of government bonds leads to higher interest rates, thereby reducing private investment.
Explanation:
The crowding out effect happens when the government increases its spending level in order to engage in an expansionary fiscal policy but someone needs to pay for this extra spending. In order for the government to finance their spending, they have to choose to either increase taxes or issue more debt. When they issue more debt, they end up decreasing private investment since money that could be used by private companies is used by the government instead.
Answer and Explanation:
Economic Growth can be defined as an increment in production capacity of an economy using all its available resources. The PPF illustrates the largest possible quantity of goods and services a nation can produce base on its available resources. An outward shift in the economy’s production possibility frontier (PPF) depicts a raise in productive capacity of an economy. An outward shift implies that an economy has capacity to increase its production outputs. This can be as a result of the economy employing new technology, allowing specialization, increasing its labour force, using new production approaches etc. Likewise, an inward shifting PPF implies an economy has witness a loss or exhaustion of some of its scarce resources and it will culminate into reduction in an economy’s productive potential.
Effects of saving and investment upon national GDP
level of savings direct related to the level of investment, investment feeds on available finance from saving. If more people save, the banks will be able to lend more to firms to support their investments.
low savings and investment implies a PPF inward shift. low savings in economy implies that the economy is opting for short-term consumption over long-term investment, and this will lead to future undue pressure on available infrastructures ad resources.
spending on consumer goods vs capital goods effect on the economy
In the short run, the economy must prefer using available resources to produce capital rather than consumer goods. Standards of living will be affected, as private consumption will have access to fewer resources. However, in the longer run, the raised production of capital goods will boost the production of more consumer goods ad therefore standards of living will experience more increase than they would have witness if the economy had spent most of its income on consumer goods.
Answer:
19.64%
Explanation:
The return on equity shall be determined through following mentioned formula:
Return on equity=Net profit/Equity
In the given question
Net profit=9.68%*$807,200=$78,136.96
Equity=Assets-Total Debt
=$1,105,100-64%($1,105,100)
=$397,836
Return on Equity=$78,136.96/$397,836
=19.64%
