Answer:

A. Supply of currency

B. Demand for currency

C. Neither Demand nor Supply

D. Supply of currency

E. Demand for currency

Explanation:

The supply of GBP in this case is simply determined by the domestic demand of the currency from abroad. An example of this can be seen when the United Kingdom want to import cars from say Japan. It is expected that the payment must be done in yen (¥). Hence, to make this possible, pounds (GBP) must be sold (supply).

a. In the first case John and Adam must sell pounds to buy dollars for use in Washington (Supply)

b. In the second case, the American company would have to purchase GBP to operate in London. Hence this is demand for currency.

c. In the third case, France uses the Euro and Germany also uses the Euro, hence there will be no exchange that has anything to do with buying or selling of the UK Pounds and hence it is neither demand nor supply.

d. In the fourth case, the GBP sent, must have to be sold and converted to Indian Rupee for it to be used in India by Kamran's parents, and hence this is known as supply of GBP.

e. Finally, an economics class from United States travelling to Uk would need to purchase GBP with his American dollar and hence this is part of demand for currency as it relates to the foreign exchange market for GBP.

Assume that Saudi Arabia has production possibilities to produce either 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours or 25 bushels
Hatshy [7]

Answer: 10 bushels

Explanation:

If they produce 100 barrels of oil using 100 worker hours, it means that the number of work hours taken for 1 barrel is:

= 100 / 100

= 1 work hour

For bushels however, 1 worker hour produces:

= 25 / 100

= 0.25 bushels of corn

If 60 barrels of oil are produced, it means 60 worker hours were used which would leave 40 worker hours.

Bushels of corn produced is therefore:

= 40 * 0.25

= 10 bushels

Heidi quit her job as a chef making $40,000 per year to start her own restaurant. The first year, Heidi's restaurant earned $100
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The accounting profit is $30,000.

Explanation:

The implicit cost of running the restaurant is the opportunity cost of giving up a salary of $40,000 per year working as a chef.  

The revenue earned from the restaurant is $100,000.  

The explicit costs is  

= $50,000 + $20,000

= $70,000  

An accountant will consider only the accounting cost or explicit cost in the calculation of profits.  

Accounting profit

= Total revenue - Explicit costs

=  $100,000 - $70,000  

= $30,000

Sony Corporation conducted a series of consumer use tests in the 1990's in which consumers were given samples of its experimenta
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

4) Problem analysis

Explanation:

Problem analysis refers to a method of investigating consumer needs under certain complex conditions. It is carried out in order to improve systems, processes and designs.

In this scenario, Sony was offering an extremely disruptive product which wasn't very user friendly but as we all know had a huge potential. Sony's original digital camera was very large, huge compared to normal cameras that used film. It was also very slow and it wasn't very good at taking pictures. Is main advantage was that it used 3¹/₂ floppy disk instead of film.

I'm not sure but I believe it could store around 10-12 pictures and then you had to use another disk. Finally people could start to take a lot of pictures without having to worry about high printing costs. My family had the final commercial product, and if that was the good product, I imagine that those that participated in the product analysis probably had to use and work with something slightly worse.
