Regarding the overall effect of negative interest rates on the economy, economists

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The effect of negative interest rates on the economy is reflected in option D: negative interest rates simply cannot happen in reality. Answer D is the correct response.

Explanation:

Answer C is partially correct. In reality, experiments are running on economies as today: Greece economy. After a huge recession in previous years, the Government has released bonuses that, at the end of their effective period, will be charging people for actually buy them, and not paying them back. This leads us to answer D: negative interest rates can actually happen, but they cannot exist as an economic mechanism that develops the economy: customers will go for profit, not cost.

The effect of this model is negative on the economy since it will not provide enough resources for stimulation. Also, it will not slow it down since it is not expected that an instrument with negative interest rates will be accepted, in the form of bonuses, by customers; or loans, provided by banks.

Galen Company income under variable costing is $1,050,000. Fixed production costs in ending inventory are $300,000 and $250,000

lana [24]

Answer:

Income under absorption costing = $1,100,000

Explanation:

Marginal and absorption costing are two different methods to deal with fixed production overheads and and decide whether or not they are included in valuation of inventory.

<u>Valuation of inventory</u>

Opening and closing inventory are valued at variable cost under variable costing. Whereas in absorption costing, opening and closing inventory are valued at full production cost (including fixed production overheads).

<u>Reconciling profits reported under two different methods</u>

When inventory levels increase or decrease during a period then profits will differ under absorption and marginal costing because of fixed production cost.

Net Income under absorption costing = Income under variable costing + fixed production cost in ending inventory – fixed production cost in beginning inventory

= $1,050,000 + $300,000 - $250,000

= $1,100,000

Escents, a body lotion manufacturer from Canada, negotiated a contract with a shea butter company in Mali, Africa, to supply 40%

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: Infrastructure Challenge.

Explanation:

A major problem in developing countries is insufficient and often damaged infrastructure. There are lack of roads and other mean of access to quite some areas in the country and those routes that do have road networks sometimes see trade still hampered by damage to those road networks.

Sometimes there would be potholes that require careful maneuvering and sometimes the roads would be washed out. In this case Escents is experiencing Dela due to washed-out roads or faulty bridges which are examples of infrastructural damage.

GoSnow sells snowboards. Each snowboard requires direct materials of $128, direct labor of $53, and variable overhead of $63. Th

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Unitary selling price= $304.93

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary variable costs:

direct materials of $128

direct labor of $53

the variable overhead of $63.

Fixed costs:

The fixed overhead costs of $301,000

Fixed selling and administrative costs of $229,000

The company has a target profit of $189,800.

Units sold= 11,800 snowboards

First, we need to calculate the total contribution margin required:

Contribution margin= net profit + total fixed expense

Contribution margin= 189,000 + (301,000 + 229,000)

Contribution margin= $719,000

Now, we calculate the total variable expense:

Total variable cost= 11,800* (128 + 53 + 63)

TVC= 2,879,200

Finally, we calculate total sales and the unitary selling price:

Total sales= contribution margin + total variable cost

Total sales= 719,000 + 2,879,200= 3,598,200

Unitary selling price= 3,598,200/11,800= $304.93
