Answer:

a positive technology shock

Explanation:

Technology is part of the capital factor of production, and it is the most important way of increasing the quality of capital. An increase in the quality of capital means that given a same amount of capital (e.g one machine), labor will be able to produce a larger output (an increase in productivity). Technological improvements are usually achieved through research and development.

Technological improvements also affect the land factor since they can reduce the use of natural resources and wastes, although the largest impact is usually made on labor productivity.

When a country's productivity increases, real GDP might increase above full employment level because less workers are needed to produce larger outputs.

Suppose the currency-to-deposit ratio is 0.25, the excess reserve-to-deposit ratio is 0.05, and the required reserve ratio is 0.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

Money multiplier, MM = (1 + Currency-deposit ratio) / (Currency-deposit ratio + Excess reserve ratio + Required Reserve ratio)

(a) Initially,

MM = (1 + 0.25) / (0.25 + 0.05 + 0.10) = 1.25 / 0.4 = 3.125

(b) Currency-deposit ratio = 0.3

MM = (1 + 0.3) / (0.3 + 0.05 + 0.1) = 1.3 / 0.45 = 2.89

Pavel [41]

Answer: Is useful to managers in planning and decision making.

Explanation:

The Contribution approach to the income statement helps the company understand better the behaviour of it's variable and fixed assets because the Contribution Margin approach first subtracts variable costs from revenue and then subtracts fixed costs.

This allows the company to know which of the costs are more taxing on the company thereby enabling the company to know which to work on. It is therefore useful to managers in planning and decision making.

Gonzalez Company has been in business for several years. At the end of the current year, the ledger shows:

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

A sharp downturn in the U.S. housing market reduced the income of many who worked in the home construction industry. A Wall Stre

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section.

Explanation:

If the wages of the Hispanics construction worker in America are less then, they will not have near as much money to send home to their relatives back in Mexico.

And if their families do not have as much as it use to be then they will not be able to buy near as much as they used to.

It means that if the construction workers don't get as much money as they used to then, neither they nor their families will be able to spend as much as they use to which will obviously hurt each of their economies.
