Answer: C. Reduce interest rates by increasing the money supply

Explanation:

If the Fed hopes to prevent unemployment and recession it needs to stimulate the economy to produce more goods and services as this will stave off recession while reducing unemployment as people will be needed to produce those goods and services.

The Fed can increase money supply which will lead to interest rates decreasing. When this happens more companies and individuals will be able to borrow funds as the cost of borrowing is low. These funds can then be invested in projects to increase production in the economy.

The Warren Watch Company sells watches for $21, fixed costs are $180,000, and variable costs are $15 per watch.

enyata [817]

Answer:

5,000 watches : $150,000 loss

20,000 watches: $60,000 (Loss)

Break-even point = 30,000 units

if the selling price rises to 32 = break even points descends to 10,588 units

If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26 , the break even point goes back to 30,000units.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Profit = Revenue -cost

Where the revenue is equal to the units sold (x) multiplied by the selling price,

R = 21 x

And cost is equal to the sum of the fixed and variable costs.

C = 15x + 1800

So:

P = 21x-(15x +180,000)

P = x ( 21-15)- 180,000

For 5,000 watches:

P = 5000(21-15)-180,000

P = 5000(6) -180,000

P= 30,000-180,000

P=-$150,000 (loss , since is negative )

For 20,000 watches:

P = 20,000(6) -180,000

P = 120,000-180,000

P=-$60,000 (Loss)

To find the break even point:

R = C

21x = 15x + 180,000

21x-15x =180,000

6 x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000 units

if the selling price rises to 32

32x = 15x + 180,000

32x-15x = 180,000

17x =180,000

x = 180,000/17

x = 10,588 units

It descends,

If the selling price rises to $32 but variable costs rises to $26

32x = 26x+180,000

32x-26x = 180,000

6x = 180,000

x = 180,000/6

x =30,000

The break-even point comes back to 30,000 units.
