Answer:

The Great Depression

Explanation:

The shrinking size of the globe, the intervention of foreign competition, the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and the ever-increasing age of our population (among other factors) have contributed to our mixed economic system.

The economic system in the USA is rooted in the Laissez-Faire capitalism of Adam Smith. However, the real-world setting in the US is not as Laissez-Faire as Smith would have liked because the government greatly participates as more than umpire and rule maker. The government take part in American Business by way of resource or product markets, interest, and especially taxes which results in making the American business progressed into a mixed economy, showing both elements of capitalism and socialism.

Other factors such as <span>foreign competition, the Great Depression, World Wars I and II, and the increasing age of population have also contributed to the mixed economic system.</span>

Accounts receivable resulting from sales to customers amounted to $40,000 and $31,000 at the beginning and end of the year, resp

lianna [129]

Answer:

$129,000

Explanation:

The indirect method fir calculating cash flows generally starts with net income and then adds or subtracts depending on the non-cash revenue or expense accounts. I.e. it starts at the end and comes back.

In this case, we are starting with net income and we need to add or subtract the changes in accounts receivable. Since accounts receivable decreased during the year it means that more money was collected increasing the cash flow.

Cash flow = net income + change in accounts receivable = $120,000 + ($40,000 - $31,000) = $120,000 + $9,000 = $129,000

Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data

qwelly [4]

Answer:

a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Step-by-step Explanation:

==>Given:

Class of ages in yrs

No. of cases of each class = f

Midpoint of each class = x

Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx

==>Required:

a. Mean

b. Median

c. Mode

==>SOLUTION:

a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf

Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75

Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5

Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35

b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw

Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.

Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5

Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35

fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22

Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10

Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10

= 34.5 + [25/22]

= 34.5 + 1.1

= 35.6 ≈ 36

c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw

Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]

Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5

∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2

∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9

Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10

Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10

= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10

= 34.5 + [20/11]

= 34.5 + 1.8

Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

With only two goods, if the income effect is in the same direction as the substitution effect then the good is ____.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Normal good

Explanation:

Income effect Is change in quantity demanded when the consumers purchasing power change as a result of a change in real income.

Substitution effect is when quantity demanded falls as a result of rise in price of a good which leads consumers to purchase cheaper alternatives.

A normal good is a good whose demand increases as income increases.

If the price of a normal good falls, the real purchasing power of the consumer increases and the consumer buys more of the good. Also, the consumer substituites from more expensive alternative goods to the more cheap normal good. The income and substitution effect both move in the same direction.

Vernon spends the following percentages of his budget on the following goods: 23 percent on good A, 11 percent on good B, 1 perc

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

A) good A.

Explanation:

Good A represents the highest percentage of Vernon's budget, so naturally any price change related to good A will affect Vernon greatly and may cause him to change the quantity purchased of that good. Even the price of substitutes or complements of that good will have a large impact in Vernon's purchase decisions.

Eastevan Company calculated its return on investment as 10 percent. Sales are now $300,000, and the amount of total operating as

galben [10]

Answer:

a) 18.75%

b) $ 149333.33

Explanation:

Given:

Return on investment = 10% = 0.1

Total sales = $ 300000

Total operating assets = $ 320000

Reduction in expenses = $ 28000

a) The return on investment is calculated as:

Return on investment = Net income/ operating assets

on substituting the values, we get

0.1 = Net income/ $ 320000

Net income = 0.1 × $ 320000

Net income = $ 32000

The reduction in expenses is the amount that has been gained i.e the net income will increase

thus, the net income = $ 32000 + $ 28000 = $ 60000

now,

the return on investment for the latest net income will be

Return = $ 60000/$320,000

Return = 18.75%

b) for the condition given in the second case

we have

Return = 18.75%

Net income = $ 32000

Return = Net income/ operating asset

18.75% = $32000/ operating asset

Operating asset = $32000/0.1875

Operating assets = $ 170666.67

Now, the decrease of the operating asset from the actual asset = $ 320000 - $ 170666.67 = $ 149333.33

Thus, the operating cost must decrease by $ 149333.33
