Suppose that you are a member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The economy is experiencing a sharp rise

monitta

As a member of the Federal Reserve Board, in an inflationary situation I would suggest a change in the federal funds rate that would be accomplished by raising the base interest rate of the US economy. This would make bonds more attractive and people would stop consuming to invest in public debt securities. In addition, raising interest rates would discourage credit, causing banks to lend less. Since inflation is a monetary phenomenon caused by the excess of currency in circulation, these measures would have a downward effect on inflation, as they reduce the amount of money in circulation in the economy.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sales budget = $ 250 per case * 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months

= $ 18,000,000

b. Production budget in units = 100 cases per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days a month * 6 months

= 72,000 cases

Production budget including 10 percent inventories

= 72000 + 100*6*20*10%

= 73200 cases

c. Direct materials purchases budget in pounds including 5% inventories

Lamb = 5 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 369,000 pounds

Rice Lamb = 10 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 738,000 pounds

Salmon = 2 pounds per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 147,600 pounds

Vitamins = 1 pound per case * (73200 cases + 100*6*20*5% cases )

= 73,800 pounds

d. Direct materials purchases budget in dollars = 369000*15 + 738000*1.2 + 147600*24 + 73800*45

= $ 1,328,400

e. Manufacturing labor budget in dollars = 1 hours per batch * 6 batches per day * 20 days per month * 6 months * ($ 18 per hour for ingredient preparation + $ 24 per hour for cooking and canning ) * 2 workers

= $ 60,480

2. The business requires an investment of $ 1,328,400 + 60,480

= $ 1,388,880 over six months.

This translates to monthly investment of $ 231,480

Therefore $ 50,000 investment is too small to begin with.
