Answer:
If a company increases its final goods inventory level, that will increase the country's GDP even if the goods are not sold during the current period (they will be sold in future periods). Increases in inventory level are considered part of Investment component of the GDP.
If the inventories are not sold during the year (2018) and if they continue to be unsold during part of 2019, that will negatively affect the GDP because fewer goods will be purchased to replenish these inventories and the market price of the goods will also decrease. The market price of goods is determined by the supply and demand. If the supply is much higher than the demand and inventories start to pile up, their price will decrease in order to increase the quantity demanded. If the volume of the goods in inventory is significant enough, this should lower the inflation rate.

Answer:
B) the uneven distribution of gains and losses from free trade.
Explanation:
One of the most important reasons why governments impose trade barriers is to protect domestic jobs (and domestic industries). We are part of a society (country), and society's most important component is people, not money. Generally the economic gains of free trade are larger than the economic losses, but the economic losses hurt the most.
Imagine if no trade barriers actually existed, how many millions of jobs would be lost in the US. Trade barriers are nothing new, the current president didn't invent them. He just incinerated them.
How does a leader tell the people that 10 or 20 million must lose their jobs and probably will not be able to find any similar jobs in the future just because the rest of society will benefit from cheaper products. The lives of 20 million households (50-80 million people) would be destroyed, while 280 million people would benefit.
The amount of harm done to the people that lose their jobs is much greater than any individual benefit.
Answer:
(i) $34,200
(ii) $55,860
(iii) $23,960
Explanation:
Total sales = $ 240,000 + $392,000 + $168,000
= $800,000
Department 1:
sales = $240,000
Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales
= $240,000 ÷ $800,000
= 0.3
Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate
= 0.3 × $114,000
= $34,200
Department 2:
sales = $392,000
Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales
= $392,000 ÷ $800,000
= 0.49
Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate
= 0.49 × $114,000
= $55,860
Department 3:
sales = $168,000
Percent of total = sales ÷ Total sales
= $168,000 ÷ $800,000
= 0.21
Allocated amount = % of total × advertising to allocate
= 0.21 × $114,000
= $23,940
