Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions 

Explanation:

In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed.  For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.

As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.

Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.

In the week about to begin, a bank expects $30 million in incoming deposits, $20 million in deposit withdrawals, $15 million in
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The answer is E. $15 million

Explanation:

We have the bank's net liquidity position is equal to its Cash inflow - Cash outflow.

Cash inflow = incoming deposits + revenues from the sale of nondeposit services + customer loan repayments + sale of bank assets + money market borrowings= 30 million + 15 million + 25 million + 5million + 45 million = $120 million

Cash outflow =  deposit withdrawals + acceptable loan requests + repayments of bank borrowings + cash outflows to cover other operating expenses + dividend payments to its stockholders = 20 million + 60 million + 10 million + 5 million + 10 million = $105 million

So, net liquidity position is:  120 million - 105 million = $15 million.

So, the answer is E. $15 million.

Jenna is looking to buy a new computer. When would the price elasticity of demand be most elastic for her computer? Order the si
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

It is convenient for Jenna to buy her computer when the price is more elastic and the Offer of the good is large, because the greater the supply of a good, the lower the price and with the elastic demand. It means that the price varies in proportion to the the demand and supply of the good would have the price of convenience that the computer should buy.

The order of Jenna's computer is as follows:

* Jenna's work computer broke down and she needs a new one or else she can't work.

It is inelastic in this regard because Jenna needs the computer immediately and will not expect a variation in market prices.

* Jenna uses her computer recreationally and wants to be able to listen to music with her friends in two days when they visit her.

The purchase of the computer can wait two days, since although you need it to spend time with your friends, it is not extremely necessary.

* Jenna's computer works fine, but she wants to buy a newer model.

The purchase of the computer can wait therefore the demand becomes more elastic

Firm A employs a high degree of operating leverage; Firm B takes a more conservative approach. Which of the following comparativ
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Statement B is correct.

Explanation:

High Operating Leverage represents higher fixed cost in comparison to variable cost, and thus that means the company will get its break even earlier or we can say with low units, but after break even profits will be higher.

As in the given case Firm A has higher Operating Leverage than Firm B, thus Firm A has lower Break even point but eventually its profit after reaching break even will grow higher.

Thus, Statement B is correct
