<span>A. According to the neoclassical theory, technical progress that increases the marginal product of farmers causes their real wage to rise. B. The real wage in (a) is measured in terms of farm goods. That is, if the nominal wage is in dollars, then the real wage is W/PF, where PF is the dollar price of farm goods. C. If the marginal productivity of barbers is unchanged, the their real wage is unchaged. D. The real wage in (c) is measured in terms of haircuts. That is, if the nominal wage is in dollars, then the real wage is W/PH, where PH is the dollar price of a hair-cut. E. If workers can move freely between being farmers and being barbers, then they must be paid the same wage W in each sector. F. If the nominal wage W is the same in both sectors, but the real wage in terms of farm goods is greater than the real wage in terms of haircuts, then the price of haircuts must have risen relative to the price of farm goods.</span>

               Sleep master, inc.

          Direct Material Budget

            December 31, 2013

Budgeted production units                57,000

<u>yards required per comforter                   × 6</u>

<u>Add: Ending Material Inventory   =  27,000   yards</u>

Total Material units required       = 369,000 yards

<u>Less: Beginning Materials            = (31,000)  yards</u>

Material used                                = 338,000 yards

<u>Cost per yard                                         × $1.50</u>

The rental income generated by a lease can depend significantly on the proportion of property-level operating expenses paid by t
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

4) Triple net lease

Explanation:

In a triple net lease (NNN lease), the tenant is responsible for all the expenses related to the leased property including property taxes, maintenance fees, reparations and property insurance. NNN leases are usually commercial leases only.

The landlord's disadvantage with a NNN lease is that the monthly lease payment tends to be lower since the tenant assumes all the costs related to the leased property. On the other hand, a NNN lease generally provides a stable cash flow, so its associated risk is lower.

When a product is offered in a foreign market but cultural differences slow down the diffusion process. True or False
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The answer is True

Explanation:

Cultural differences can slow down the diffusion process, or even make it impossible. For example, no matter how good of a marketing campaign you make, if you sell pork, you will never have a high market share in the Middle-East, because both Islam and Judaism forbid the consumption of pork, and those are the two major religions in the area.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

option (D) $50 billion.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Additional investment spending = $20 billion

MPC = 0.6

Now,

Increase in aggregate demand = [1 ÷ (1 - mpc) ] × Investment

or

Increase in aggregate demand =  [1 ÷ (1 - 0.4) ] ×  $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = (1 ÷ 0.4) × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = 2.5 × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = $50 billion

Hence.

the correct answer is option (D) $50 billion.
