How does a country's business cycle generally affect the international trade balance? Depending on the growth an sales of businesses affecting the economy, imports may drop and as they start to boom, imports begin to rise. Exports may also drop, but trade deficit normally does not happen during these times. A recession or recessionary period can contribute to the import and export sizes within different countries.

Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The benefits of a High Speed Rail in California:

  • It becomes a feasible alternative to air travel, because it can be either cheaper, or even faster, since passengers do not have to spend as much time on a train station as they do on an airport.
  • If demand is high enough, state highways can become less congested, because many people who would otherwise travel by car, would take a high speed train instead.
  • Because the trains are electric, they are likely to help reduce pollution.

The cons would be:

  • We cannot know for sure how many people would take the high speed trains. Demand could not be high enough to justify the cost.
  • The line would be very costly.
  • It could end up benefit only a small section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.

I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, as can be seen in most countries where high speed lines have been made between large cities. For example, in Spain, the line between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. The same would likely happen for a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now?

If demand projections are tenous, there is always the possiblity that the high speed line could not be profitable. However, this risk can be lowered if the line is made between highly populated cities.

Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative?

Yes, a high speed rail would be a project that could massively impact California. The benefits of its operation could outweight the cost.

In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project?

As I said before, the most important factor is to construct line between highly populated cities in order to reduce the risk of not having enough demand. It has been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that high speed lines that connect very populated regions, can be profitable.

For the coming year, River Company estimates fixed costs at $109,000, the unit variable cost at $21, and the unit selling price
zzz [600]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $109,000

Unit variable cost= $21

Selling price= $85.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 109,000/ (85 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 1,703 units

Now, we need to include the desired profit:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (109,000 + 150,000) / 64

Break-even point in units= 4047 units

Sales= 500,000

Variable cost= 5,882*21= (123,522)

Contribution margin= 376,478

Fixed costs= (109,000)

Net operating income= $267,478

In the case discussed, the Supreme Court held that the trademark for Coca-Cola was valid and banned another company from using a
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled that the name Coke was so well known around the world, that it is effectively a common term for the trademarked Coca Cola. If other companies try to use similar terms like Koke for other types of products, e.g. bakery items, there is a risk that the Coca Cola company would be negatively affected by that product's image since consumers might associate Koke directly to Coca Cola.

It doesn't matter if the products were low quality or not, the courts cannot determine that, what matters is that the use of the term may negatively impact another company.
