A security is defined as an item that holds financial value and represents ownership of a property by the holder. It is used as a means of gaining some financial assistance.
The security acts something a creditor can use to get back their money in case the debtor fails to pay up.

Explanation:
The Phillips curve is an economic concept whereby it is stated that there is a stable and inverse relationship between inflation and the unemployment in an economy.
According to this theory, inflation is as a result of economic growth and this will lead to reduction in unemployment.
There is a different short-run Phillips curve for every level of the expected inflation rate. The inflation rate at which the short-run Phillips curve intersects the long-run Phillips curve equals the expected inflation rate.
Answer:
29,394 units
Explanation:
The formula for break even point is given as Fixed cost / Contribution margin.
Where;
Contribution margin = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit
Given that ;
Fixed cost = $194,000
Unit selling price = $14.90
Unit variable cost = $8.30
Therefore;
BEP(units) = $194,000 / $14.90 - $8.30
= $194,000 / $6.6
= 29,394 units
Answer:
I currently work for a company that provides services to other businesses (B2B), and we work on a yearly contract base. Since it's a B2B we don't have a lot of customers, they are only 11, but each customer is very important to us.
The sales process and contracts for the next year are usually finished by November and at that time we must prepare a cost budget. The main problem we are currently facing is that we use some imported goods and since many tariffs have been increasing, there is a lot of uncertainty about future prices.
When you import goods and use the FOB destination, the seller is responsible for delivering the goods up to a port of entry, but we are responsible for the paperwork and applicable tariffs. Since tariffs increase during a few months and then decrease, and then increase again depending on the president's mood, our budget has a large percentage of "just in case".
Besides that problem with imports, our company also signs yearly contracts with most of the employees depending on the number of contracts and workers needed. We are very good at estimating overhead expenses, since experience is a great teacher in our specific case.
If we didn't have the problem with uncontrollable external factors (tariffs), prior jobs help us to determine budgets that are usually quite exact, our variance (either + or -) is usually less than 3%.
