Answer:

The question is incomplete. The completed question is as follows:

What would most likely happen if Congress decreased taxes and increased spending?

a. Economic contraction

b. Economic expansion

c. Economic stability

d. Economic stagnation

The answer is: b

Explanation:

There are different ways to calculate the output generated by a country in a given period. The most common is to add up the: total private consumption and investments, government budget deficit or surplus and the net exports. In doing so, an approximated figure of gross national output is calculated. By decreasing taxes, government revenue decreases, however, private disposable income increases stimulating private consumption and to some extent, investments. Increasing government spending particularly in large scale projects could contribute to a budget deficit but it could also lead to a positive stimulus in the economy creating jobs while signalling investment opportunities to foreign investors. Holding all other factors constant, a decrease in taxes and increase in government spending would contribute positively toward the economy resulting in some economic growth.

Fletcher Company collected the following data regarding production of one of its products. Compute the direct materials quantity
Monica [59]

Answer:

$6,000 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual Quantity = 243,000 lbs

Standard Quantity:

= Actual finished units produced × Direct materials standard quantity per unit

= 40,000 units × 6 lbs

= 240,000 lbs

Standard Price = $2 per lb.

Hence,

Direct materials quantity variance:

= (Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity) × Standard Price

= (243,000 - 240,000) × $2

= $6,000 Unfavorable

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has found that the base-year expenditures of the typical consumer break down as follows:
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

  • <em><u>The CPI for the current year is    104.49   </u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

A) Expenditure breakdown of the base year:

You must check that they add 100%

  • Food and beverages:               17.8%
  • Housing:                                   42.8%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                               5.7%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:       5.8%
  • Total                                          100.0%

Total: 17.8 + 42.8 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 5.7 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 100

Thus, the CPI of the base year is 100.

<u>B. Expenditure breakdown of the current year.</u>

Calculate the changes by adding the percent of increase to each item tha has changed.

1. <u>The prices of food and beverages have increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 17.8% × 1.10 = 19.58%

2.<u> The price of housing has increased by 5 percent</u>:

  • 42.8% × 1.05 = 44.94%

3. <u>The price of medical care has increased by 10 percent</u>:

  • 5.7% × 1.10 = 6.27%

The other prices are unchanged.

Then, the new breakdown is:

  • Food and beverages:               19.58%
  • Housing:                                   44.94%
  • Apparel and upkeep:                 6.3%
  • Transportation:                          17.2%
  • Medical care:                              6.27%
  • Entertainment:                              4.4%
  • Other goods, and services:        5.8%
  • Total                                           104.49%

Of course the new total is not 100%.

  • 19.58 + 44.94 + 6.3 + 17.2 + 6.27 + 4.4 + 5.8 = 104.49

That means that the price of the total basket of products has increased from 100 to 104.49.

Thus, <u>the CPI of the current year is 104.49 ← answer</u>

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

a) Family owned restaurant

b) A manufacturer of cars

c) A company that invented a very comfortable razor

Explanation:

First of all, the family who owned a restaurant will be the one that would most likely engaged in advertising due to the fact that they provide a service that has to be known for the people of the community around the place and all the tourists that go that area, meanwhile the other familiy would obviously just sell its products to the better buyer that they could find.

Secondly, the manufacturer of cars would be the one that most likely engaged in advertising due to the fact that they found themselfs in a very competitive and oligopoly market that is the car market and therefore that they highly need to stand out their making them better than the ones from the competitors.

Finally, the company who invented a very comfortable razor would be the one who engaged more in advertising due to the fact that they known they have a better product that the rest of the competitors so they need to take advantage of that and make sure that the consumers know about it and with that they would sell more and therefore invest more in advertising as well.
