Answer & Explanation:
1. A steel tariff increases the price of steel : Increase in of 'Price of inputs' - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve
2. Improvement in robotics increase efficiency & reduces costs : Upgradation of 'technology'- increases (rightward shifts) supply curve
3. Factories close because of am economic downturn : 'Number of sellers' reduce - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.
4. The price of trucks falls, so factories produce more cars : Decrease in 'price of related goods' - increases (rightward shifts) supply curve.
5. The government announces a plan to offer tax rebates for the purchase of commuter rail tickets : 'Expectations' regarding rise in relative price of cars - decreases (leftward shifts) supply curve.

Answer:
When labor unions successfully bargain for wage rates that are HIGHER THAN the equilibrium wage rate, they may cause AN INCREASE IN STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.
Explanation:
When a labor union bargains for wages that are above equilibrium rate, this will produce the same effect as a price floor. The supply of labor will increase, while the demand for labor will decrease. This deadweight loss generated by high wages will result in an excess supply that will eventually lead to higher structural unemployment.
Answer:
A. Lowest Total Cost:
A. 315,550 or more
B. Lowest total cost of annual volume of 120 boats
C. C
Explanation:
The lowest total cost among the three alternatives is b.
If the company goes for new location it will have to incur fixed cost of $270,000 and variable cost per boat will be $600.
If the company Subcontracts then Total cost per boat is $2,620
If a company goes for expanding existing facility then it will incur fixed cost of $57,000 and variable cost will be $1,030 per boat.
If company produces 315,000 or more boats then it will have lowest possible cost for the boat.
For an output of 120 bots the best possible alternative is option C. The fixed cost will be $475 per boat ($57,000 / 120 boats)
The total cost will be $1,505 ($475 + $1,030)
Answer:
$13,725
Explanation:
The movement in the warranty payable account over a period is as a result of the warranty expense for the period and the warranty payments made during the period.
Given that the company estimate warranty expense at 4.5% of sales, the estimated warranty for the period is the expense recorded in the income statement. This is equivalent to
= 4.5% * $305,000
= $13,725
