True or false: keynesian economists argue that the government can fight inflation by implementing expansionary fiscal policy.

A country has constant opportunity cost of production. If they devote all of their resources to the production of blankets they

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer: 2.75 blankets.

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is the value of a good that is sacrificed by choosing some other alternative. So, there are certain costs associated with the consumption of some goods.

In our case,

Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt = $\frac{810}{294}$

= 2.75 blankets

Opportunity cost of producing 1 shirt is 2.75 blankets which means that 2.75 blankets have to be foregone to produce 1 shirt.

There are 12 general categories of threat to an organization's people, information, and systems. List at least six of the genera

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1. Human Error: an example is disregard to safety measures.

2. Compromises to Intellectual Property: an example is piracy of an organization's product.

3. Forces of Nature: an example is earthquake.

4. Information extortion: an example is coercion or blackmail.

5. Quality of service deviation: an example is an epileptic or poor power supply.

6. Industrial espionage: an example is unethical hacking of data.

Explanation:

A threat to an organization's people, information, and systems is basically any circumstances or events that poses a potential danger, damage or adverse affect to its smooth running.

These threats can be classified into six (6) categories and these are;

1. Human Error or failure: this are errors that arise as a result of having incompetent employees (slips and lapses) or mistakes stemming from the workers. An example of human error is an employee that disregard safety measures.

2. Compromises to Intellectual Property: this usually occurs when an intellectual property is stolen illegally from an organization. An example is piracy of an organization's product.

3. Forces of Nature: this is usually caused by a natural disaster. Examples of forces of nature are flood, earthquake, fire etc.

4. Information extortion: this arises when sensitive data about an organization is held through coercion, bribery or computer hacking.

5. Quality of service deviation: this would occur when there's a shortage in the quality of service received by an organization, contrary to what is expected or required. Examples are poor power supply, poor internet service etc.

6. Industrial espionage: this is as a result of loosing sensitive data to unauthorized individuals or hackers.

Smiley Industrial Goods has $1,000 face value bonds on the market with semiannual interest payments, 13.5 years to maturity, and

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the price of the bond today, we will use the formula for the price of the bond. We assume that the interest rate provided is stated in annual terms. As the bond is a semi annual bond, the coupon payment, number of periods and semi annual YTM will be,

Coupon Payment (C) = C

Total periods (n) = 13.5 * 2 = 27

r or YTM = 0.064 * 6/12 = 0.032 or 3.2%

The formula to calculate the price of the bonds today is attached.

We will first calculate the value of semi coupon payment made by the bond.

1023 = C * [( 1 - (1+0.032)^-27) / 0.032] + 1000 / (1+0.032)^27

1023 = C * 17.8994796 + 427.2166529

1023 - 427.2166529 = C * 17.8994796

595.7833471 / 17.8994796 = C

C = 33.28495355 rounded off to 33.28

The annual coupon payment will be = 33.28495355 * 2 = 66.56990711 rounded off to 66.57

Annual Coupon rate = 66.56990711 / 1000 = 0.06656990711 or 6.656990711% rounded off to 6.66%

A process has low fixed costs and high variable costs. It is currently capacity-constrained. Will the impact of an efficiency im

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Small

Explanation:

Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.

When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.

A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.

Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.

In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.

As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
