Answer:

The Coronavirus pandemic took the world by surprise and most people were not ready for the far reaching quarantine measures that were put in place. These measures along with the general fear of the disease meant that Consumers were demanding less of goods and services which had the effect of shifting the Short Run Demand curve to the left.

The world also saw travel restrictions put in place which were a serious blow to international commerce because suppliers found it hard to source goods. This reduced the supply of goods and services which also meant that the Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve shifted to the left as well.

The New Equilibrium led to a way lower output at Y¹ which is shows why GDP growth fell into negative.

As a result of decreased output and quarantine measures, companies could not afford to keep their employees and had to let go of a lot of them. This is why the Unemployment rate went up as well.

Temka [501]

Answer:

696,325 Pounds

Explanation:

The computation of the direct material purchase budget is given below:

Here we assume that

one pound = 16 ounces

Now total wax needed is

= Production of Finished Goods × Pounds of wax needed for production

= 730,000 candles × 11 ÷ 16

= 501,875 pounds

Now

Total direct material purchased  = (Total Wax needed +  Ending Inventory, Jan.31 - opening inventory) × unit price

= (490,625 Pounds + 12,900 pounds - 17,400 pounds) × $1.40 per pound

= 696,325 Pounds

Inessa [10]

Answer:

b. $556,000.

Explanation:

Retained Earning is an account where all the earnings of the company accumulate and dividend is also paid from this account because it represents the amount the earning associated with the stockholders of the company.

December 31, 2018 Balance of Retained Earning = December 31, 2017 Balance of Retained Earning + Income for the year - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

$1,164,000 = $1,440,000  + $1,000,000 - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

$1,164,000 = $2,440,000 - Dividend Paid / Declared during the year.

Dividend Paid / Declared during the year = $2,440,000 - $1,164,000

Dividend Paid / Declared during the year = $1,276,000

Stock Dividend Paid - $500,000 + $220,000 = $720,000

Cash Dividend Paid = $1,276,000 - $720,000 = $556,000
