Answer:
True
Explanation:
This is true because the Federal Trade commission(FTC) analyze and investigate a seller or sellers who may be so cooperative as to make agreements that ensure large amounts of profit for them which is likely harmful and exploitative to consumers . FTC investigates business mergers which may be horizontal or vertical that are likely done for the purpose of increasing market share and fostering a sort of monopoly of the market. However, mergers and cooperation among businesses in the market do not always yield a monopoly and the FTC may be wrong(sometimes) to wave mergers that could increase the quality of goods or services in a market
Answer:
Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.
This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.
Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.
Answer:
The labor rate variance for the month = $1890
Explanation:
Given values:
Standard labor hour per unit = 3.3 hours
Standard labor rate = $16.15 per hour
Actual hours worked = 6,300
Actual total labor cost = $103,635
Actual output = 2,000 units
Now, we calculate the labor rate variance with the help of given information. Below is the calculation of Labor rate variance.
Labor rate variance = ( Actual labor cost) – (Standard rate × Actual hours)
= 103635 – (16.15 × 6,300)
= $1890
