Answer:

a. short-run aggregate supply left.

Explanation:

<u>Aggregate Supply</u> is the total quantity of goods & services, all the sellers in economy are planning to sell, in an economy during a period of time. Short Run Aggregate Supply is upward sloping, as supply is directly related to price level.

If there is future <u>pessimism </u>in economy; due to corporate scandal, international tensions, and loss of confidence in policymakers. Then, producers will be apprehensive about their products sale, will also feel price vulnerable. This would imply that the short run aggregate supply would decrease, the  SRAS curve would shift leftwards.

Compute the payback period for each of these two separate investments:
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.89 years and 2.91 years

Explanation:

The formula to compute the payback period is shown below:

= Initial investment ÷ Net cash flow

For first case

The initial investment is $260,000

And, the net cash flow is shown below:

= Depreciation + incremental after tax income

where,

Depreciation equals to

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($260,000 - $10,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($20,000) ÷ (4 years)  

= $62,500

And the incremental after tax income is $75,000

So, the net cash flow would equal to

= $62,500 + $75,000

= $137,500

So, the payback period would be

= $260,000 ÷ $137,500

= 1.89 years

For second case

The initial investment is $170,000

And, the net cash flow is shown below:

= Depreciation + incremental after tax income

where,

Depreciation equals to

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($170,000 - $14,000) ÷ (9 years)

= ($156,000) ÷ (9 years)  

= $17,333

And the incremental after tax income is $41,000

So, the net cash flow would equal to

= $17,333 + $41,000

= $58,333

So, the payback period would be

= $170,000 ÷ $58,333

= 2.91 years

Abe owns a dog; the dog's barking annoys Abe's neighbor, Jenny. Suppose that the benefit of owning the dog is worth $200 to Abe
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Jenny pays Abe $300 to give the dog to his parents who live on an isolated farm

Explanation:

The answer is already stated within the question, but I'll provide  the explanation.

In order to reach a solution, Jenny would have to offer Abe an amount to get rid of the dog that is more than Abe's benefit of owning the dog, which is $200.

On the other hand, since Jenny bears a cost of $400 from the bark, she would only be willing to spend as much as $400 to resolve the situation. Therefore, the acceptable range for the amount of the agreement for both parts is:

$200 < X < $400.

Since $300 is within that range. Jenny paying Abe $300 to give the dog to his parents is a possible solution.

Marianna [84]

Answer: c. $1,650 unfavorable

Explanation:

The direct labor rate variance shows the difference between the cost of direct labor that the company thought it would incur vs what it actually incurs for the period.

Formula is:

Direct labor rate variance = Actual cost of direct labor - Standard cost of actual hours of direct labor

= Actual hours * (Actual cost - Standard cost)

= 5,500 * (24 - 23.70)

= $1,650 unfavorable

Unfavorable because the actual cost incurred was more than the cost anticipated.
