Answer: d). Search costs; quality; trust

Explanation:

A strong brand can be an exceptionally powerful resource for competitive advantage by lowering search cost, proxying quality and inspiring trust. Lower search cost and high quality will provide a competitive advantage to the firm over other brands offering similar product. Inspiring trust of the consumers on the brand will enable them to get a large consumer base. If the customers have faith or trust in our brand then they will not buy other brands even if they sell at a lower price.

Thus, the correct option is d, Search costs; quality; trust

Units Sold = 72,000

Ending Inventory = 8000

<u>Per Units Cost </u>

Direct materials $6,400,000/80,000 = $ 80

Direct labor 1,600,000 /80,000= $ 20

Variable manufacturing cost 1,280,000/80,000= $ 16

Fixed manufacturing cost 320,000 /80,000 = $ 4

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

-$130,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net loss deducted from his return is shown below:

= Income - interest deductions - operating expenses - depreciation expenses

= $20,000 - $80,000 - $45,000 - $25,000

= $20,000 - $150,000

= -$130,000

Since the value comes in negative which reflects the net loss for the year

We simply deduct the revenues from the expenses so that the net income or net loss could come

The discount rate is the interest rates on loans that the Federal Reserves makes banks. Banks occasionally borrow from the Feder
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The higher discount rate lower the banks incentive to borrow from the Fed, lowering the quantity of reserves, and causing the money supply to fall.

This is because a higher discount rate makes borrowing from the Fed more expensive. Some of the money that would have been borrowed from the fed becomes bank reserves, and some other becomes loanable funds that increase the money supply. As a result, if banks borrow less from the fed, the money supply falls (or grow less).

The Fed Funds rate is the rate that banks charge one another for short-term overnight loans.

This occurs when banks are stripped of cash, and rely on other banks to meet their cash requirements for the day.

When the Fed buys government bonds, the reserves in the banking system increases, the banks demand for the reserves decreases, and the federal funds rate falls.

When the Fed buys government bonds, it is essentially creating money. This money enters the banking system in the form of reserves, of which some are loaned out, creating even money. Demand for the borrowed reserves falls because banks now need less of it, and as a result, their price: the federal funds rate, also falls.

Answer:

B. It increased, but it less than doubled

Explanation:

Real GDP per person is defined as the total economic output divided by the total number of people. It is used in roughly indicating the standard of living.

An increased in the nominal GDP 3 times its formal will lead to a proportionate increase in the GDP per person statistics. But I was a noted that there was a 100% increase in population, meaning that population doubled. This indicates that the GDP per person increased but it less than double because of the population doubling in that period of time.
