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.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is I and II.

Explanation:

Individuals may find it more advantageous to purchase claims from a financial intermediary rather than directly purchasing claims in capital markets because of several reasons.

The financial intermediaries such as commercial banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, pension funds, etc. are more diversified than individual investors. They provide a number of options for borrowing and lending.

These intermediaries work on a larger scale than an individual investor. They are thus able to reap the advantages of economies of scale which an individual investor cannot.

Wilson Enterprises applies overhead based on direct labor cost. The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Applied Overhead is higher than actual overhead. Hence, manufacturing overhead is $ 4,000

Explanation:

Given data:

estimated overhead = $2,40,000

Labor cost =$2,80,000

Direct labor cost = $3,00,000

$Overhead\ rate = \frac{Estimated\ Overhead}{Estimated\ direct\ labor\ cost}$

$= \frac{2,40,000}{3,00,000}$

= $ 0.80 per direct labor cost

$Applied\ Overhead = Actual\ Labor\ cost\times Overhead\ rate$

$= $ 2,80,000\times $ 0.80 Per direct labor cost$

=$ 2,24,000

Actual Overhead cost = $ 2,20,000

Applied Overhead is more than actual overhead. Hence, manufacturing overhead is $ 4,000.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Current yield=5.6%

Explanation:

The current yield is the proportion of the current price of a bond earned as annual interest payment.

Current yield = annual interest payment/bond price

Annual interest payment = coupon rate × face value

= 5.44% × $2000

= $108.8

Current yield

= annual interest payment/price

= $(108.8/1,930.36) × 100

= 5.6%

Note we used the annual interest payment nothwithstanding that interests are paid semi-annually
