Answer:

a. $363,000

b. $827,200

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

a. Payroll cost would be

=  Salary of the company president + Salary of the chief financial officer + Salary of the vice president of marketing +  Salaries of administrative secretaries + Commissions paid to sales staff

= $75,000 + $42,000 + $40,000 + $60,000 + $146,000

= $363,000

And, for computing payroll cost first we have to determine the total cost which is shown below:

= Salary of the vice president of manufacturing + Salaries of middle managers (department heads, production supervisors) in manufacturing plant + Wages of production workers + Salaries of engineers and other personnel responsible for maintaining production equipment

= $50,000 + $147,000 + $703,500 + $133,500

= $1,034,000

Now the cost of goods sold would be

= Total cost × sales units ÷ number of units produced

= $1,034,000 × 4,000 units ÷ 5,000

units

= $827,200

Answer:

A) $24 billion

Explanation:

Here is the complete question :

Potential Real GDP $200 Billion

Natural Rate of Unemployment- 6 Percent

Actual Rate of Unemployment- 12 Percent

Refer to the accompanying data, which is for a specific year in a hypothetical economy for which Okun's law is applicable. The amount of output being forgone by the economy is

C) $15 billion. D) $18 billion. A) $12 billion. B) $24 billion.

According to Okun's law, a 1% decline in unemployment results in a 2% fall in potential GDP

Decline in unemployment = Actual Rate of Unemployment - Natural Rate of Unemployment

12 - 6 = 6%

decline in output = 6% x 2% = 12%

potential GDP lost = 12% x $200 Billion  = 24 billion

How would you make a convincing case that open trade in goods and services as well as free flow of foreign direct investment wil
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Free trade of goods and services benefits all countries in the world. This is because of the concept of comparative advantage that tells us that some countries are better at providing specific goods and services than others.

For example, Japan is made up of relatively small islands that are very mountainous, forested, and lacking in natural resources. Besides, the country has a large population concentrated in the few flat areas. This essentially means that Japan is severly lacking in agricultural land and raw materials, and has to import most of its food, oil, natural gas, among other things. This is why the country has specialized in electronics, automobiles, and pharmaceuticals.

Brazil is the opposite: a very large country with hundreds of thousands of square miles fit for agricultural production. The country is a great exporter of soy, rice, sugar, and oil. However, the brazilian industry is not competitive, and most of its exports are to neighboring Argentina.

Without free trade, Japan could hardly feed itself, or it would do so with great difficulty. At the same time, Brazil would have a large surplus of food and raw materials, but its citizens would lack access to high-tech Japanese goods such as Toyota cars, or Sony electronic devices. Both countries would be worse-off.

The consumer's level of involvement can lead to two types of buying decisions: __________ or
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The consumer's level of involvement can lead to two types of buying decisions: limited problem solving or extended problem solving

Explanation:

limited problem solving:

It is a problem solving process in which customer is only willing to put very little effort to make a purchase decision in order to fulfill his want or need. Purchaser uses simple decision rules for reaching a a purchase decision with minimal research done. He is not much concerned about the best solution and has limited resources and time for searching information and assessing each alternative thoroughly.

For example: you need a new pair of joggers for gym.  You are already have an idea about joggers and know about new available materials and attributes. So you might do a bit research online and come to a decision comparatively quickly. You might consider your favorite outlet instead of searching for the joggers at every outlet. So you take buying decision limiting involvement in this process.

extended problem solving

In this process the costumer attempts to collect as much information as possible, and thoroughly assess and evaluate product alternatives. So in this situation buyer don't have much idea about the product brands, attributes and characteristics to access the product. Purchaser will research, differentiate and put a lot of effort for taking best buying decision that will fulfill his needs. prior to purchasing the product, he might visit various outlets, research online, search for reviews and suggestions, take information from outlet staff. about the product Marketer should provide with such information to customer.

For example high value items like car, a house etc. Such items are not purchased often so the consumer will invest a lot of time in research and comparison in order  to take the best decision.
