Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States. Check all that apply. Scenario Sho

Softa [21]

Answer:

(A) it will affect the GDP Deflator.

(B) it will affect both the GDP deflator and the CPI

Explanation:

(A) The increase in prices of imports increase real GDP and also the GDP deflator as now the US will purchase less of these cars from china and therefore there will be less imports of this car from china, people will prefer buying local inexpensive cars which will in turn increase the GDP even more than before so therefore this scenario only affects the GDP deflator only as the formula for real GDP is the sum of consumption spending, government spending,government saving( investment) and (exports minus imports) so the less imports we get the more real GDP we get in the US economy.

(B) This will affect both GDP deflator and CPI because firstly this will touch on the exports which will increase and bring in more revenue for the US therefore increasing real GDP because the prices of the fishing product has decreased which will cause the US economy to increase. it will also affect the CPI because now prices of this product have fell therefore the CPI is also going to fall probably causing a deflation.

Hushovd Iron Works has collected the following data for its Thunderbolt line of products: Direct materials standard 15 pounds p

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The direct material quantity variance is $10,800 favourable. (the options in the question are not correct).

Explanation:

The direct materials quantity variance represents a difference between what was actually produced and the standard or idea that should have been produced especially with regards to the use of direct materials.

To calculate material quantity variance

Step 1:Calculate the Standard Usage of Material

Formula= (Actual Units of Finished goods Purchased x Standard Price of Material per unit)

= 4,000 units x 15 Pounds

= 60,000 Pounds

This means the standard material usage is 60,000 pounds

Step 2: Now calculate the Direct Material Quantity Variance

Formula= (Standard Material Usage - Actual Material Usage) x The Standard Price per Unit of Material

= 60,000 pounds (computed in step 1) - 40,000 pounds (given in the question)

= 20,000 pounds x $0.54

=$10,800

Since the standard Material is higher than the actual material usage, it means that the answer is as follows;

The direct material quantity variance is $10,800 favourable.

Kindly note that the multiple options in the question above are for a different set of figures and a different question.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Short Interest and the Advance/Decline line

Explanation:

The Short Interest and the advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market amplitude that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market. The advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market breadth that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market.

The advance / descent line is an indicator of market breadth because it informs us of the general market movement. Similarly, when we say that it gives the same weight to all stock index values, we are saying that for the forward / down line all values are equally important.

What really interests this indicator, being of market breadth, is to see if the price movement is accompanied by the movement of the indicator.
