Answer: Trade Deficit ($10 Billion).

Explanation:

C=40+0.8Y

Ig=$40 billion

X=$20 billion

M=$30 billion

where,

Y - GDP

C - Consumption

Ig - Gross investment

X - Exports

M - Imports

Balance of trade or Trade balance = Exports - Imports

Since, Imports are greater than the exports, so the nation is experiencing a trade deficit.

Trade deficit = Imports - Exports

= $30 - $20

= $10 billion

Question not complete

Direct Labour Cost is missing

Direct Labor Cost ----- $50,000.00 $270,000.00

Answer:

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $12.2 per labour hour

b. Total Manufacturing Cost = $644

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. Compute the predetermined overhead rate to be used in each department.

Given

Cutting Department

The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $264,000

Machine Hours = 48,000

Finishing Department

The Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours.

Manufacturing Overhead Costs = $366,000

Direct Labour Cost = $270,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $264,000/48,000

Overhead Rate (Cutting Department) = $5.5 per machine hour

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = Manufacturing Overhead Cost/Machine Hours

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = $366,000/$270,000

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 1.36

Overhead Rate (Finishing Department) = 136% direct labour cost

The Cutting Department bases its rate on machine-hours

Given

Machine hours = 80 machine hours

Overhead Rate = $5.5 per machine hours ------ Calculated

The Finishing Department bases its rate on direct labor-hours.

Given

Direct Labour Cost = 150

Overhead Rate = 136% labour cost ------ Calculated

Overhead Applied (Cutting Department) = 80 * 5.5

Overhead Applied = 440

Overhead Applied (Finishing Department) = 136% * 150

Overhead Applied = $204

Total Overhead Applied = $440 + $204

Total = $644

c. Yes

If they use a plantwide rate based on direct labor cost and if the jobs has longer machine hours and small amount of labor cost they will be charged less overhead cost.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

-3 million dollars

Explanation:

we have EVA = economic value added

to ge the EVA, we use this formula :

(operating return on the assets - cost of the total capital) multiplied by the total assets

total assets = 100 million

operating return = 12 percent

cost of capital = 15 percent

the EVA = 12% - 15% * 100000000

= -0.03 * 100000000

= -3,000,000 dollars

Interest rates rise faster in Scotland (GBP) than they do in the United States (USD). Which nation’s currency appreciates? Which

patriot [66]

There is very simple logic between demand and supply. When demand is high, price rises and currency appreciates in its value. On the other hand, price should decline if import rate is mare compared with export rates. As prices of U.S goods increases which ultimately goes to international market where producers have to pay domestic currencies. Americans will demands comparatively less expensive goods. So it will result in supplying more dollars to foreign exchange market.

Finally, increasing demand of pounds. Finally, U.S dollars appreciates and pound depreciates. Trade value is amount by which total import value deviates from export value. Due to changes in interest rates results in trade imbalance in U.S. There is not greater effect on Scotland as it is key player in transporting of energy products to rest of U.K.

Alona [7]

Answer:

wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily.

Explanation:

In a situation where the macroeconomy is experiencing a higher than the natural rate of unemployment, it must be because "wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily."

Given that wages are arguably the most significant aspect to entice employees or people to work and get paid. Hence, where the wages are not enough to cause for the employees, there tends to be a situation where wages cannot adjust downward quickly and easily. And therefore, people would not want to work where there is low pay, and eventually, unemployment increases.
