Answer:
c. paying lower prices to its suppliers.
Explanation:
A : clearance of discontinued inventory.
Clearance is most often used when a shop wants to clear a particular stock line. reduce sell price with effect in gross margin
B : selling products with a lower markup.
Markups are the ratio of gross profit to sales price.
D : increased competition resulting in a lower selling price.
lower prices will lead to higher sales volumes, which may make up for the lower profit margin
Answer:
The dividends received by the preferred stockholders in 2020 are $30400.
Explanation:
The cumulative preferred stock is the form of preferred stock that accumulates or accrues dividends in case the company does not pay or partially pay dividends to preferred stock in a particular year. This means that the dividends are accrued and the company will need to pay these dividends first in the future whenever it declares dividends.
The total dividends per year on preferred stock is,
Preferred Stock dividends = 50 * 0.06 * 7400 = $22200 per year
The preferred stock dividend that was accrued at the end of 2019 after the dividend payment of $14000 is,
Accrued dividends - Preferred stock = 22200 - 14000 = $8200
In 2020 the company will need to pay this accrued dividend along with the dividend for 2020 on preferred stock. Thus, in 2020 the preferred stock holders will receive dividends of,
Preferred stock dividend to be paid in 2020 = 8200 + 22200 = $30400
Answer:
The industrial revolution affected the whole global economy, social relations, and culture.
The industrial revolution changed how goods were manufactured, and it all started with the European accumulation of capital and the invention of the steam engine.
The two major sources of energy were coal and oil that were used to power steam engines that moved machinery using water steam. That led to work specialization and urbanization (people moving into large urban areas).
The industrial revolution first started in northwestern Europe, but it then spread to the US, Russia and Japan. The global economy developed new patterns of global trade and production between nations that produced resources and those that processed them and produced goods.
Exporting economies grew around the world because of the need for exporting both raw materials and food supplies from resource producing nations, and the need for exporting finished goods form industrialized nations.
Answer:
A. Movement on the PPC
B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC
C. Less Concavity of PPC
Explanation:
Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).
- It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
- It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
- Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.
a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)
b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.
c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.
