Answer:
1. Under what condition(s) can an economy make a relatively quick and easy transition to full-employment level of output?
Classical economics are great theoretically, but actual evidence from real life is always against them. The problem with wages and unemployment is that wages are sticky, no one likes a wage cut and employees will always fight against them. That results in drastic changes in the level of unemployment, since it is easier to fire employees than lower their salaries.
When a demand shock occurs, and the aggregate demand curve shifts to the right, the aggregate supply curve will also shift. At this point, suppliers will need to hire more employees and fast since they cannot keep up with the demand. The problem is that in real life, demand shocks are sudden only in theory, no one will wake up tomorrow having twice the money and willing to spend it all immediately.
Classical economics work on the long run, but the problem is that the long run is not a definite point in time. We might actually never live to see the long run occur.
2. What condition(s) would keep an economy from moving back to full employment quickly and easily?
Shifts in the aggregate demand curve never occur from one day to another, they are gradual and take time. In real life, unless you suddenly win the lottery, the amount of goods that you purchase is generally stable. It will increase or decrease over time but not abruptly. Since sudden demand shocks do not occur in real life, neither do sudden shifts in the employment level. That is why the government issues monthly unemployment data, and you analyze the trends over several months or even years.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $234,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Predetermined overhead rate= $9 per direct labor hour.
Actual direct labor hours= 26,000
<u>To allocate manufacturing overhead, we need to use the following formula:</u>
<u></u>
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 9*26,000
Allocated MOH= $234,000
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
The terms of trade is the ratio at which two countries exchange their goods. It is the ratio of exports and imports of a country. Terms of trade reflect the health of the economy.

An increase in the price of exported goods will increase the terms of trade for a country. While an increase in the price of imported goods will cause it to decline.
Answer:

Answer:
$3,960
Explanation:
The Borrowed amount is $198,000 on November 1, 2021.
The interest expense at December 31, 2021 is calculated as shown below:
I=PRT
R=12%=0.12
P=$198,000
T=2 Months=(2/12) year
I=198,000*0.12*(2/12)
I=$3960
The correct option will be "B. $3,960."
