True. They took a gamble at the stocks and many borrowed money that could not returned as a result, the market crashed and that led to the Great Depression where many Americans began to struggle as jobs were cut and business were closed.

Otrada [13]

<span>If the Fed believes the economy is about to fall into recession, it should use an expansionary monetary policy to lower the interest rate and shift AD to the right. When using an expansionary monetary policy a central bank will use its tools to stimulate the economy. They increase the supply of money, lower interest rates and increase aggregate demand.

Sarah's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. Sarah wishes to establish a reorder point syste

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Following is the solution for the given problem.

Explanation:

Best order size, EOQ =√2DS/H

EOQ = √2*4700*60/5

EOQ = 336 units.

D = 4700/300 = 15.66.

σ L= √∑σ²

= √3*(5)² = 8.66.

Reorder point, R = D*L+ z σ L

Reorder point, R = 15.66*3 + 1.282*8.66

Reorder point, R = 58 units.

The following two graphs show the markets for smartphones in Sweden and Norway. Use the graphs to answer the questions that foll

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Assume there are no transportation costs. With trade, the price of $22.5 brings about balance in exports and imports. At this price, 600 smartphones are traded. With trade, Sweden produces 900 smartphones and consumes 300 smartphones, and Norway produces 300 smartphones and consumes 900 smartphones.

Now suppose the per-unit transportation cost from Sweden to Norway is $5. With trade, the transportation cost changes the price of smartphones in Sweden to $25 and in Norway to $25. Sweden will produce 800 smartphones and consume 400 smartphones, thus exporting 400 smartphones. Norway will produce 400 smartphones and consume 800 smartphones, thus importing 400 smartphones.

Explanation:

With no transportation costs, Sweden shall export smartphones and Norway shall import smartphones because the market price is lower in Sweden than in Norway.

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Sweden, derived from the given values, are:

$Q_{D} = 1200 - 40P\\$

$Q_{S} = 40P$

The export supply (ES) equation is:

$ES = Q_{S} - Q_{D}$

ES = 40P - (1200 - 40P)

ES = 80P - 1200

The demand and supply functions for smartphones in Norway, derived from the given values, are:

$Q_{D} = 1800 - 40P$

$Q_{S} = 40P - 600$

The import demand (ID) equation is:

$ID = Q_{D} - Q_{S}$

ID = 1800 - 40P - (40P - 600)

ID = 2400 - 80P

The equilibrium price and quantity traded is determined where ES = ID.

80P - 1200 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 22.5

Q = 2400 - 80(22.5) = 600

Next, a transaction cost of $5 per unit is imposed from Sweden to Norway. This changes the ES function as follows.

New ES = 80(P - 5) - 1200

New ES = 80P - 1600

The new equilibrium is where New ES = MD.

80P - 1600 = 2400 - 80P

This simplifies to P = 25

Q = 80(25) - 1600 = 400

The manufacturing overhead budget at Amrein Corporation is based on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicat

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$51,790

Explanation:

Amrein Corporation Manufacturing Overhead Budget

August

Budgeted direct labor-hours 2,500

Variable manufacturing overhead rate $5

Variable manufacturing overhead $12,500

($2,500×$5)

Fixed manufacturing overhead $43,010

Total manufacturing overhead $55,510

($43,010+$12,500)

Less depreciation 3,750

Cash disbursement for manufacturing overhead $51,790

Therefore the August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be $51,790
