Answer:
1. Technical improvements cause production costs to decline, which causes supply to increase and prices to decrease.
2. Decreased unemployment causes consumer incomes to increase which causes demand to increase and hence price to increase.
Explanation:
Demand refers to a consumer's desire to purchase a particular good or service at a given time for a specific price. Supply on the other hand, is the willingness of a producer to produce a particular good or service at a given time for specific price.
1. Production cost is a factor that influences supply. For example, cost of labor or raw material cost. When production costs fall, more products can be produced at a lesser cost. Hence'
- The supply curve shifts right from S1 to S2.
- This causes quantity supplied to increase from QS1 to QS2
- And price to fall from P2 to P1. Please refer Diagram 1 in attachment.
2. When unemployment decreases, it means that more people are working in the economy and hence their incomes are also higher. This means there is a higher purchasing power and also higher demand for products. Hence,
- The demand curve shifts from D1 to D2.
- This causes quantity demanded to increase from QD1 to QD2
- And price to increase from P1 to P2. Please refer Diagram 2 in attachment.
Answer:
65 firms will be in the industry at the new long run equilibrium
Explanation:
in the long run the P=ATC
quantity before the change is
200 = 1000-4Q
4Q = 800
Q= 200
each firm output = Q/number of firms = 200 / 50
q = 4
new quantity is
200 = 1240-4Q
4Q = 1040
Q = 260
number of firms=new Q/q
=260/4 = 65
the number of firms is 65 in the long run.
Answer:
a. Sales for November = $192,666.67
b. Sales for December = $312,400,00
c. Total cash collections are as follows:
January = $200,580
February = $201,360
March = $191,750
Explanation:
a. Compute the sales for November.
Sales for November = (Accounts receivable balance at the end of the previous quarter - Uncollected sales from December) / Collection rate two months after the sale = ($107,000 - $78,100) / 15% = $192,666.67
b. Compute the sales for December.
Sales for December = Uncollected sales from December / (Collection rate one months after the sale + Collection rate two months after the sale) = $78,100 / (10% + 15%) = $312,400,00
c. Compute the cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
Note: See the attached excel file for the schedule of cash collections from sales for each month from January through March.
From the attached excel file, total cash collections are as follows:
January = $200,580
February = $201,360
March = $191,750
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Expensed in the period incurred.
Explanation:
Research and Development (R&D) costs are spent on the development of new products that could or could not end up being commercially offered. These kinds of costs are usually expensed at the same time they are incurred. According to the U.S. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, the R&D costs cannot be capitalized.
