Answer:

Diminishing returns

Explanation:

A firm producing widgets (term for a generic good) has two factors of production. The factory and labour. The capacity of the factory is fixed, and the marginal cost (MC) of labour is the same (i.e. each new worker will cost the same).

There are two stages to how MC is affected.

1. Increasing returns (MC goes down)  

As output begins to increase, the large manufacturing  processes/equipment  still not fully utilised means and the additional labour  can be productive as they can always use the equipment to its full potential due to which the MC is relatively low.

2. Constant returns (MC goes sideward)

At this point, labour is producing its optimal output per unit. The marginal cost  is therefore at its lowest.

3. Diminishing returns (MC goes up)

The more labour that is employed, the less marginal output it is able to produce.  This could be a result of too many people to efficiently operate/ rotate use of  machinery. The cost increases more and more to generate an extra unit of  output, because of labour exhibiting diminishing returns in the short run.

In this question, the 10th worker has added 22 units which is 3 units less than the number of units added by the 9th worker, thus the company is producing less marginal output for each worker. so based on the above discussion it can be concluded that the company has Diminishing returns.

If we look at the equation for money demand from Irving Fisher, which of the following statements is true?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The money equation given by Irving fisher is popularly known as fisher's equation.

The equation is given as MV=PT

Here, M represents money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level and T refers to the volume of transactions or output level.

The supply of money refers to the quantity of money in existence while the velocity of transactions shows the number of times, money changes hands.  Together they show the volume of money in circulation.

P is the average price level and T represents the expenditures on all transactions or, in other words, output level.  

Here, V and T are assumed to be constant. This means that the money supply directly affects the price level.  

There is no explicit mention of the interest rate in this equation.  

So, option D is the correct answer.

The cash-basis is not in accordance with GAAP, and mahogany is in violation of the REVENUE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLE.

GAAP refers to Generally Accepted Accounting Principle. 

It is stated that income must be recognized when it is earned not when cash is received. Because the company is using cash-basis, they will only report income earned on July 12 when they received the money not when they earned it which is before their fiscal year ending June 30. 
They should recognized receivables from customers before closing the books for the fiscal year. </span>
