Answer:

(a)<u> Backward vertical integration</u> (b) <u>Forward vertical integration</u> (c) <u>Backward vertical integration</u>

Explanation:

(a) An academic medical center is an example of backward vertical integration. The specialist and faculties from the university will provide treatment to the patients. Such medical centers have tertiary service with several intermediaries.

(b) Here, there is no intermediary between patients and general surgery group. The general surgery group treat patients directly. So here there is a forward vertical integration system.

(c) A manufacturer of durable medical equipment will supply to retailers who in turn supply these to hospitals where the patients will receive service from these equipment. So, it is an example of backward vertical integration.

According to the simple monetary model, if money is growing at 5% in the United States and 6% in the United Kingdom, while real
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A)

Since the money supply is growing at a much faster rate than real GDP in the US, this means that the inflation rate in the US will be higher than the inflation rate in the UK. In both countries the money supply is growing at a faster rate, but the difference in the US is larger (money supply is growing 67% faster that real GDP), while the money supply in the UK is growing 20% faster than real GDP.  

This means that the US dollar should depreciate against the British pound.

B)

If you have US dollars, then you should increase your investments in the UK because the pound will be worth more US dollars in the future.

C)

More American goods should be exported to the UK, and less British goods should be imported to the US. Since the US dollar should be cheaper, American products are cheaper. The opposite will happen to British products.

Assume that the economy is at equilibrium at $10 trillion, with a marginal propensity to consume of 0.75. If exports rise by $0.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Multiplier effect = 1 ÷ (1 - marginal propensity to consume)

                           = 1 ÷ (1 - 0.75)

                           = 4

Net exports = Exports - Imports

                    = 0.5 - 0.7

                    = (-0.2)

Impact on the equilibrium income  = Net exports × Multiplier effect

                                                          = (-0.2) × 4

                                                           = (-0.8),

so, the equilibrium income will fall by $0.8 trillion.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

$57,600

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount paid to preferred shareholders are shown below:

= Number of shares for preferred stock × par value × dividend rate × number of years

= 1,200 shares × $100 × 12% × 4 years

= $57,600

In case of cumulative, the number of years would be four years for dividend paid

All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
