Answer:

Winners

  • The US Federal Government
  • Joy

Losers

  • Karen
  • Herb
  • 3rd National Bank

Explanation:

The US Federal Government is a Winner because Inflation in general has the effect of eroding the value of money. Generally interest rates account for this but when it is Unexpected Inflation they don't. The US government is a winner because the amount of debt they now have in real terms have decreased.

Joy is also a winner for the same reason as the US government.

Karen lost out as a result of this because her Fixed Pension does not change with inflation which means that when inflation rates go up unexpectedly she will be able to buy less goods and services.

Herb's money will lose real value as a result of inflation because like Karen, Herb will be able to buy less goods and services when inflation rises.

3rd National Bank will also lose out because they made loans that would not have accounted for Unexpected inflation. The real value that they will be owed will therefore be less and they will suffer 'real' losses.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(B) Increase both assets and equity by $180

Explanation:

The transaction analysis model tells us that:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's equity = Contributed Capital + Retained Earnings

Retained Earnings = Net Income − Dividends

and

Net Income = Income − Expenses

The expanded accounting equation is obtain if all substitutions are made:

Asset = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Income – Expenses − Dividends

In the Global Cleaning Service`s case:

Assets are increased either because the service is collected or is an account receivable. As the service provided is a revenue (income) is part of the Owner's Equity that also increase. Both, Asset and Owner's Equity, increase in 180.

Two​ firms, A and B​, must each choose either a low price or a high price for their product. The payoff matrix shows the profit
ahrayia [7]

Answer: 1. A.Both firms will choose the low price.

2. B. Both firms would choose the high price.

Explanation:

1. If the firms cannot cooperate with each other and must choose simultaneously, both firms will choose the low price.

This is because at the low price both of them are at the highest profit they can make when they are not cooperating. For instance, if Firm B chooses Low Price and Firm A chooses High Price, Firm A will make $3 million while Firm be will make $8 million.

If Firm B decides to have a high price then firm A will take the low price and make $8 million in profit while Firm B makes $4 million. If they are not working together, they will both have to take the low price to make the most profit.

2. If the firms could cooperate with each​ other, both firms would choose the high price.

The is because they will be making more than competing and getting a lower profit. Should they cooperate they will each get $7 million in profit because they will pick the option they can both make the highest profit at. The is better than competing and making only $5 and $6 million respectively.

If you need any clarification do comment. Cheers.

timofeeve [1]

The computation of the break-even point (in units) is given below:

Break-eventpoint = Fixed cost / contribution margin.

= Fixed cost / (selling price -  variable cost)

= $158,000/ ($20-%10)

= $158,000/ $10

= %15,800 units.

The break-even point (in units) for Shop 48 is 15,800 units. It can be computed by dividing the amount of fixed cost by the amount of per unit contribution margin. And the per unit contribution margin can be computed by deducting the variable cost per unit from the selling price per unit.

The break-even point is the point at which total costs equal total sales, and there is no loss or profit for a small business.
