Answer:

Prices ensure an equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

Explanation:

The price mechanism helps in the efficient allocation of resources. There are a number of functions performed by the price mechanism. Prices send signals regarding resources. An increase and decrease in prices reflect surplus and deficit.  

Price balances the demand and supply of a product. Price is inversely related to demand and positively related to the supply of a product. It is determined by the interaction of demand and supply and helps in balancing supply and demand.  

For instance, an increase in demand would increase the price, this higher price will motivate the suppliers to increase quantity supplied thus balancing demand and supply.  

Price helps in coordinating economic activities and helps buyers and sellers in decision making. However, they do not help in equal distribution of goods and services among consumers.

"Scott Manufacturing Co.'s static budget at 10,000 units of production includes $40,000 for direct labor and $4,000 for electric
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Total costs= $75,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For 10,000 units:

$40,000 for direct labor

$4,000 for electric power

Total fixed costs are $23,000

We need to determine the unitary variable cost for direct labor and electric power:

Unitary direct labor= 40,000/10,000= $4

Electric power= 4,000/10,000= $0.4 per unit

Now, for 12,000 units:

Total direct labor cost= 4*12,000= $48,000

Electric power= 0.4*12,000= $4,800

Fixed costs= 23,000

Total costs= $75,000

Answer:

The correct option is E,14

Explanation:

In using the two-day moving average to forecast for the next day sales, the previous two days sales are taken , summed to up and finally averaged(that is divided by 2)

Next day forecast=sum of previous two days sales figures/number of days

sum of previous two days  forecast=13+15=28

since the number of the days is 2 ,the 8 is divided by 2,28/2=14

Ultimately the next day forecast sales figure is 14 newspapers

Option A is wrong that is just considering of the two previous day, the same thing applies to option B.

Option C is the sum of previous two days sales without being divided
