Answer:

The correct answer is: If U.S. firms have domestic content below 100%, the harm to domestic firms is less than the harm if U.S. producers had domestic content of 100%.

Explanation:

This strength of the dollar, which is reflected in exchange rates, has negative and positive implications at the same time for any economy.

What benefits one sector damages the purchasing power of another.

If it is good for those who receive remittances, it is bad for those who want to travel or do business abroad.

Businesses and governments also have to deal with a phenomenon that affects all aspects of the economy.

Importing oil or gas, repaying debt or contracting services abroad can cost more or less depending on exchange rates.

In general terms, that a currency depreciates against the dollar if it has a very intensive international trade with the United States, as is the case in Mexico, causes its economy to be more competitive and drives growth.

This is because American consumers can compare cheaper products made in Mexico.

So in terms of growth, this is a positive effect of the depreciation of a currency and the strength of the dollar.

The increases in interest rates made by the Federal Reserve, the body in charge of dictating the course of monetary policy in the United States, have led to a progressive general strengthening of the dollar against all currencies.

When the US central bank cuts interest rates, it encourages banks to lend more and put more money in the hands of citizens and businesses. And the opposite happens when, as now, the rates rise. Banks lend less and the dollar appreciates.

a. Summary of the flow of physical units:

Beginning Work in process = 209,000

Started during month = 1,025,000

less ending work in process 159,000

Units completed in month = 1,075,000

b. Computation of output in terms of equivalent units:

Units completed:

Physical Direct Conversion

Unit Material Cost

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process 159,000 103,350 (65%) 127,200 (80%)

Units produced 1,075,000 1,075,000 (100%) 1,075,000 (100%)

Explanation:

Data:

Physical Direct Conversion

Unit Material Cost

Beginning work in process 209,000

Ending work in process 159,000 65% 80%

Units started during the month 1,025,000

Total units in production 1,234,000 103,350 127,200

Determination of equivalent units:

less ending work in process 159,000 103,350 127,200

Units produced 1,075,000 1,075,000 1,075,000

a) The equivalent unit is the product of the class of unit in production multiplied by the percentage of completion. This forms the basis for allocating cost between a product's costs and the ending work in process. Calculating the equivalent units helps to determine accurate costs of units completed.

The inflation tax refers to

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": the revenue a government created by printing money.

Explanation:

When the government prints more money, there will be more supply of it. A higher supply of money tends to increase general prices causing inflation. Therefore, households will have to pay more money for goods and services which implies they will be paying more taxes, benefiting the government since it will have more money to finance its projects.

The previous practice mentioned is implemented by governments that are not willing to increase the interest rate directly.
