Answer:
C) a reduction in the saving rate will have an ambiguous effect on (C/N)*
Explanation:
The steady state consumption refers to the difference between how capital wears out or depreciates vs total output. In order to keep a steady state consumption, the savings rate (which equals investment) must be enough to replace any worn out or completely depreciated capital.
Since the consumption rate is already higher than the steady state consumption, the effect of a decrease in the savings rate is ambiguous. Every dollar earned by a household is either spent or saved, and in order for savings to decrease, spending must increase.
But in this case, the spending level is already too high. A decrease in savings should increase consumption but the effects of the increase in the capital labor ratio and the per capita consumption are not certain.

2. It is currently being used by sales officers in some shopping malls to scan items on the spot and let customers pay without going through the cash registers.
It is also being used to help customers take advantage of discounts and coupons on items being purchased. The effect is that customers spend 10% when they shop using this technology.
3. In the future, the customers will be able to check out using their smartphones.
4. According to the case study, the technology referred to in 3 above is already pioneered by Apple Stores.

Answer:
124.38%
Explanation:

Answer:
$2,255
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of good sold using the LIFO method is shown below:
Data given in the question
On October 1 = 8 units at $200 each
On October 2 = 20 units at $205 each
And, 11 units are sold on October 4
So using the LIFO method, the cost of goods sold for 11 units is
= Number of units sold × price of each units
= 11 units × $205
= $2,255
