Answer:

(a) A salaried worker

Explanation:

Variable costs are costs that can be modified in the short term, such as wages and inputs in the production process. The more inputs and the more workers, the higher the variable costs. If the cost gets too high, you can fire the worker and buy fewer inputs. By contrast, fixed costs are costs that the company cannot change in the short term, only in the long term, such as capital goods (such as the oven), rent, electricity and water bills. To complete the pricing structure, there is the total cost consisting of the sum of the variable cost and the fixed cost.

The idea of parity is that a company sells its products at a higher cost than competitors even though the product or service isn't unique. Differentiation is when one companies products compete and are better than another with the same product.

Etmer enterprises has budgeted sales for the next four months as follows: budgeted sales in units january 7,400 units february 4

Artyom0805 [142]

Units to be produced in February is calculated as -

Units to be produced in February = February sales + Ending inventory of February - Beginning inventory

February sales = 4,600 units

Ending inventory = 25 % * Sales of March = 25 % * 5,300 units = 1,325 units

Beginning inventory - 25 % * Sales of February = 25 % * 4,600 unit = 1,150 units

Units to be produced in February = 4,600 units + 1,325 units - 1,150 units

Units to be produced in February = 4,775 units

The classical dichotomy is useful for analyzing the economy because in the long run nominal variables are heavily influenced by

Contact [7]

Answer:

The answer is: True

Explanation:

First of all, the classical dichotomy in economics assumes that real variables of the economy such as output of goods and services and real interest rates are not influenced by what happens to their nominal counterparts, such as the monetary value of output and nominal interest rate. It doesn´t consider inflation or the nominal supply, in other words money supply is neutral in the economy (because its value is adjusted to inflation).

The real problem with this theory, at least in the short run, is that in real life money supply, interest rates and inflation do affect the GDP of a country. When the money supply of an economy is increased then aggregate demand also increases. More money equals more demand. That happens because the prices of goods and services doesn´t adjust as fast as a change in the money supply. Also this theory doesn´t consider the monetary circuit theory about money being "created" by the banking system every time a loan is made.
