Answer:

a. the substitution effect was larger than the income effect; national saving rose

Explanation:

In macroeconomics, the substitution effect means that as the return on savings increases, households will substitute current spending and will save more in order to be able to spend more in the future.

In this case, since interests from bonds, CDs, etc., are taxed at a much lower rate, the after tax return from investing on any of them increases. Households consider that the money that they can earn now by investing on them is more valuable than consuming goods or services immediately.

What do inflation rates measure?
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. The speed with which general prices are rising

Explanation:

Inflation measures the rate at which the general prices of goods and services are increasing in an economy. During inflation, the purchasing power of a country's currency is eroded.  Inflation means a selected basket of goods will cost more this period than it did in the previous season.

The consumer price index or CPI is the most acceptable index used in determining the rate of inflation. Inflation may result from high economic growth where firms and individuals have increased incomes resulting in too much money in circulation.  A moderate level of inflation is required to promote spending and sustain favorable economic growth.

Suver Corporation has a standard costing system. The following data are available for June: Actual quantity of direct materials
tatuchka [14]

Answer: $3.10

Explanation:

The actual price per pound of direct materials purchased in June will be calculated as follows:

Let the actual price be represented by x.

Material price variance is calculated as:

= (standard price-actual price) × actual quantity

-2000 = (3 × 20000) - 20000x

-2000 = 60000 - 20000x

20000x = 60000 + 2000

20000x = 62000

x = 62000/20000

x = 3.1

Therefore, the actual price per pound of direct material bought in June is $3.10

Lisa [10]

Answer:

revised annual depreciation will be : 13710

Explanation:

After revision the remaining life of equipment shrank down to 2 years, so the depreciation working will be worked out to adjusted the impact of decreasing of useful life.

As per existing information the depreciation charges are calculated as :

(Cost-Salvage Value)/Useful life= (49700-4000)/10 = 4570

Accumulated Depreciation indicates that 4 years have past by (18280/4570)

now remaining years are 6 which will be reduced to 2 after revision so the new working will be as follows:

Remaining Cost :31420  (49700 -18280)

Salvage Value : 4000

Revised Remaining Useful Life  : 2

Revised Calculated Depreciation Annual  : (31420-4000)/2 = 13710

It can be further verified through simple math also:

Adding annual depreciation of remaining 2 years : 13710 +13710 =27420

Value available for depreciation after salvage value : 31420 -4000= 27420
