Answer:

A. The quantity demanded for bread will decrease , quantity supplied will increase

Explanation:

PRICE FLOOR is the minimum mandated price set by government , usually above equilibrium price , to ensure producers' protection (if market price is perceived to be low) . EG : Minimum Support Price for agricultural products to protect farmers .

However at this raised price : There is Excess Supply , as Quantity Supplied increases with price increase (law of supply - price & supply direct relationship) , Quantity Demanded falls (law of demand - price & demand inverse relationship)

Do you agree with the following statement: AVC and MC intersect at the minimum of marginal cost. a. Yes, since an upward sloping
insens350 [35]

Answer: c. No, since the MC and AVC curve intersect at the minimum of AVC

Explanation:

Marginal cost is the cost of producing one extra unit of a product while average cost is the average of all the units produced so far. Therefore, when Marginal cost is low, it pulls the average costs down with it because it will be lower than the Average costs.

However, as Marginal costs start to rise, average cost will still be low because it is taking into account the lower previous marginal costs. Marginal cost will then keep rising until it intersects the average costs at it's minimum. Once this happens Average cost will start being pulled up because the current high costs will on average eclipse the current low costs.

Problem 1-11 For most products, higher prices result in a decreased demand, whereas lower prices result in an increased demand.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The firm will sell 600 units at $20

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

d = annual demand for a product in units

p = price per unit

d = 800 - 10p

p must be between $20 and $70.

Elastic demand

We have to calculate how many units the firm will sell at $20

d=800-10*p=800-10*20= 600 units

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited

Problems and applications q6 darnell loves playing rock 'n' roll music at high volume. jacques loves opera and hates rock 'n' ro
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

The Coase theorem states that parties in dispute should seek an optimal solution to their problem regardless of how property rights were initially distributed.

In this case, you need to find an agreement that satisfies both Darnell and Jacques regardless of who initially would have been considered to be right about the argument. Conflicts over rights to use property can be solved when parties settle on the efficient use of inputs. E.g. they could establish hours at which Darnell can listen to rock n' roll, and other hours when he shouldn't. That way both of them can enjoy the music they like and not bother the neighbors.

An optimal solution can always be reached regardless of initial distribution of rights.

The Code of Hammurabi was one of the earliest and most complete written legal codes, proclaimed by the Babylonian king Hammurabi, who reigned from 1792 to 1750 B.C. Hammurabi expanded the city-state of Babylon along the Euphrates River to unite all of southern Mesopotamia. The Hammurabi code of laws, a collection of 282 rules, established standards for commercial interactions and set fines and punishments to meet the requirements of justice. Hammurabi’s Code was carved onto a massive, finger-shaped black stone stele (pillar) that was looted by invaders and finally rediscovered in 1901.
