Answer:

B) government spending and taxes that automatically increase or decrease along with the business cycle.

Explanation:

The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.

When the economy is strong, people make more money, and income tax revenue automatically increases.

On the contrary, when the economy is weak, or in recession, people earn less, and more of them are unemployed. Unemployment benefits therefore increase accordingly.

Allure Company manufactures and distributes two products, M and XY. Overhead costs are currently allocated using the number of u

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Production setups= (73,000 / 30)= $2,433.33 per setup

Material handling= (49,000 / 91)= $538.46 per number of part

Packaging costs= (246,000 / 156,000)= $1.58 per unit

Now, we need to allocate costs to Product XY:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Production setups= 2,433.33*18= 43,799.94

Material handling= 538.46*23= 12,384.58

Packaging costs= 1.58*60,000= $94,800

Total allocated costs= $150,984.52

Finally, per unit basis:

Unitary cost= 150,984.52 /60,000= $0.27

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. The slope is negative

2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.

Explanation:

Describe the slope of the demand curve?

The slope of the demand curve is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

$slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}$

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

How does the slope reflect the law of demand?

The slope reflects perfectly the law of demand because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

You want to start an organic garlic farm. The farm costs $230,000, to be paid in full immediately. Year 1 cash inflow will be $2

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

13.8%

Explanation:

IRR is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested.

IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 = $-230,000

Cash flow in year 1 = $25,000

Cash flow in year 2 = $25,000 x 1.05 = $26,250

Cash flow in year 3 = $26,250 × 1.05 = $27,562.50

Cash flow in year 4 = $27,562.50 × 1.05 = $28,940.63

Cash flow in year 5 = $28,940.63 × 1.05 = $30,387.66 + $260,000 = $290,387.66

Irr = 13.84%

To find the IRR using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.

In contrasting equity and efficiency, why do high-tech firms seem to treat their employees better (better wages, benefits, worki

shusha [124]

Answer:

High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand compared to fast food franchises and treat them better to avoid losing them to other companies

Explanation:

High-tech firms are hiring expensive, sophisticated people who are in high demand. This brings about a better treatment of their employees because if they do not offer these amenities to employees, they would become employees of other high-tech companies. Individuals with low skill levels do not get high salaries or benefits. They are not in as high demand as highly skilled workers. It is efficient, but many would argue that it is not fair.
