If the government imposes a maximum price for milk that is above the equilibrium price:

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Maximum prices in economics can be also known as Price Ceiling, where it is the legal maximum prices that producers can sell their good at. However, as this causes a market disequilibrium, ceteris paribus, there will exist a surplus of goods produced. This is due to the signalling and incentive effective on producers and consumers resulting in the increase of price (that has been set by the government). Consumers would consume less of the product as it is more pricey than before, hence they are less willing and able to buy the product at the new price. Producers on the other hand sees more revenue to be earnt through higher prices and hence would devote their resources into producing that product. Hence the mismatch of supply and demand results in a surplus of products and would likely result in the government buying all the surplus out of interest for producers.</span>

mestny [16]

Hello,

The answer should be option D "<span>It encourages companies to produce more of the product".

Reason:

A saturated market is a product that is distributed which means companies would have to make more of that product in order to make money, and to have more consumers buy their products. The answer is not option A because the consumer will demand more of the product but not to be higher. Its not option B because the product is being distributed among people but not different consumers. Its also not option C because its not against other markets. Therefore the answer is option D.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

disa [49]

Answer:

COGS= $5,910

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning inventory= 90 units at $19

Purchases 315 units at $20

Purchases 45 units at $22

Ending inventory= 150 units

First, we need to determine the number of units sold:

Units sold= 450 - 150= 300 units

Under the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the first units incorporated:

COGS= 90*19 + 210*20= $5,910

musickatia [10]

Answer:

double declining balance method

Explanation:

Depreciation is an accounting tool to allocate the cost of a long-term asset over time. The reasoning behind is the matching principle. If we associate the entire purchase value at the very first moment, then, one accounting period is taking a hit for an asset that will be use over several accounting periods.

The double declining method applies a rate twice as the straight-line method.

This is applied at the carrying value of the assets (book value) every year for each year of useful life.

Answer:

Re-intermediation

Explanation:

Re-intermediation is the method applied by most businesses in using the internet to bring together new customers for a business. The advent of technology can afford business owners the possibility of eliminating physical intermediaries in a business. For example, house agents help people who are seeking for new places to live in, find houses easily. Through the internet, however, landlords can directly advertise their vacant houses, thus eliminating the agent relationship which would have served as an intermediary.

So, when established manufacturers by-pass Amazon (which is an intermediary between buyers and sellers) by adding online services to their existing offerings, they have done a re-intermediation.
