Cost inflation is caused by factors that increase production costs.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Inflation is unusual under terms of cost drive. It occurs only under five special conditions.  

  • Monopolize: Companies that accomplish an industry monopoly can create cost-effective inflation.
  • Inflation of wages: Inflation in wages takes place if workers have sufficient leverage to force wage growth.
  • Natural Calamities: Natural disasters lead to inflation through supply damage.
  • Tax Policy: Cigarette and alcohol taxes were meant to cut down but relevantly, prices were higher and inflation generated.
  • Councils of Trade: Any nation that reduces its currency will be subject to higher import prices.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

a. Private Property Rights

b. Political Stability and Rule of Law

c. Open and Competitive Market

d. Private Property Rights

Explanation:

a. By defining private property Rights and giving people a chance to own resources, Individuals will strive to own more and more of such rights and so will produce as much as they can so as to afford such rights.

b. When a nation is Politically stable and respects the Rule of Law, investment payoffs are easier to predict than in a country where instability can threaten to degrade investments such that the payoffs will be lost. For example, think of all the Western firms that lost money when the Shah of Iran was overthrown by the Ayatollah.

c. Specialization is more likely to occur in nations with Open and Competitive Market. An Open Market means that goods can come in from the outside easily. This will have the effect of the country being able to import goods that cost a lot to produce locally and instead focus on producing those goods that they are well adept at producing. This is Specialization. Also as a result of competition, companies will strive to find better ways to make profit above competitors and come up with more efficient ways of Production as a result.

d. The Xiaogang Agreement refers to an agreement by farmers in Xiaogang to subdivide their lands in secret so that they would each own a small part of it. As a result, the farmers had an incentive to produce for themselves as they now owned resources that they could benefit from. This right to Private Property led to a huge boom in Agriculture.

Trust Company applies overhead based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of the year, Trust estimates overhead to be $700,00
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Estimated overhead = $700,000

Estimated machine hours = 200,000

Estimated Direct labor hours = 35,000

Direct labor hours for February = 5,000

Now,

The Predetermined Overhead Rate is calculated as

= ( Estimated Overhead Cost ) ÷ ( Estimated Direct Labor hour )

or

Predetermined Overhead Rate = $700,000 ÷ 35,000

or

Predetermined Overhead Rate = 20 per direct labor hour

Therefore,

The amount of overhead applied for February

= Predetermined Overhead Rate × Direct labor hours for February

= 5,000 × $20

= $100,000

allsm [11]

Answer:

Present value = $9.7150 rounded off to $9.72

Explanation:

Using the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the present value of the next four dividends, we will use the following formula,

Present value = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  D3 / (1+r)^3  +  D4 / (1+r)^4

Where,

  • r is the required rate of return

Present value = 3 / (1+0.14)  +  (3+0.25) / (1+0.14)^2  +  

(3+0.25+0.25) / (1+0.14)^3  +  (3+0.25+0.25+0.25) / (1+0.14)^4

Present value = $9.7150 rounded off to $9.72
