Answer:
New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.
The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.
Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.
Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.
Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.
Explanation:
Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.
Explanation:
A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.
If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.
Answer:
C. price per unit times quantity sold.
Explanation:
Total revenue is defined as the revenues that are received from the sales of units of goods and services. It is price multiplied by quantity sold.
Total revenue can also be seen as price per unit times quantity is sold. For example if the unit price of a good is $2 the price per one unit is $2. When 20 units are sold the price per units sold is 20* $2= $40.
So times that a defined unit of goods is sold multiplied by price gives the total revenue.

Explanation:
On January we collect the 85,000 from revenues and the 12,00 form marketable securities.
Then, we add up each disbursement:
Materials 50000
Labor 30000
Overhead (net of depreciation) 19,500
Selling and administrative 15000
Total 114,500
Then we solve for the cash balance and get the blaance as it is higher than 20,000 we do not need financing
Then, this value is the beginning cash for February. As the ending balance is 14,000 we will take 6,000 financing to reach the bare minimum of 20,000
