A what businesses believe will generate the most profits.
Explanation:
In a market economy, the private sector controls the majority of the factors of production. The government or central authority does not interfere with economic activities in this type of economy. The private sector decides on the production and distribution of goods and services.

Answer:
Real GDP will rise by $100 million
Explanation:
Aggregate Demand [AD] is total amount of goods & services, all sectors of an economy are planning to buy . So AD = Aggregate Planned Expenditure [APE]
Aggregate Supply [AS] is total amount of goods & services, all sellers are planning to sell. As total output value of goods & services produced is distributed among factors of production, AS = National Income [NY] = GDP
At equilibrium : AD or APE = AS or NY or GDP
If AD or APE increases by $100 million :
AD or APE > AS or Aggregate Planned Production or GDP . This implies willingess to buy > willingness to produce. So, inventory levels will fall below desired level. To mantain inventory level, production [AS] & income level [GDP] will rise till it becomes equal to risen AD or APE
So, GDP will also rise by $100 million
Answer:
January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.
Explanation:
When,
Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.
Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.
Where,
Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity
Therefore,
Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000
= $48,000
Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.
Conclusion
It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.
Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000
= $2,000
Answer: $62
Explanation:
The customer sold the stock short at $74 per share. Later on, the customer sold a Sept 65, Put at $3 on this stock. If the short put is exercised, the customer is obligated to buy the stock at $65 per share. Since the customer received $3 in premiums when the put was sold, the net cost to the customer is $62 per share for the stock (this is the cost basis in the stock for tax purposes). The stock that has been purchased is delivered to cover the short sale, closing the transaction. The customer's gain is: $74 sale proceeds - $62 cost basis = 12 point gain.
