Answer: Price of pumpkins will fall compared to last year.

Explanation: Favorable weather leading to a larger crop than usual means that there is more supply of pumpkins this year than before.  Shifting the supply curve down to the right. At the same time, when people switch away from jack-o'-lanterns towards buying more costumes, it leads to a decline in the demand for pumpkins shifting the demand curve to the left.

The net result will be a decline in the demand for fall in the price of pumpkin. However, the effect on the quantity cannot be determined as it depends on the magnitude of shift in the two curves.

Pick an ad that speaks out against drug abuse. Write about the possible primary and secondary effects of this ad on the youth in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign launched the “Above the Influence” (ATI) ad campaign in 2005. The campaign aims to provide young people with a different perspective on life. The campaign’s primary initiative is to reduce drug abuse among teenagers, not just by telling them about the harmful effects of drugs, but by helping them to counter bad influences (such as peer pressure) and believe in themselves. This campaign used print media, the Internet, television, and radio to communicate its message to teenagers.

The primary effects of this ad campaign on the youth in my locality were in terms of the immediate awareness that the ad’s message created. The campaign focused on improving lifestyles rather than just highlighting the bad effects of drugs, so it was able to connect with its target audience. Another key reason for the campaign’s success was the use of multiple media formats to communicate with the target audience.

An important secondary effect of this ad campaign was that it succeeded in spreading awareness about how peer pressure leads people into drug abuse. The campaign’s partnership with schools and other community groups helped to increase its effect on students in their early teens. Another secondary effect of the campaign was a decrease in the long-term use of marijuana and other illicit drugs among teenagers. The campaign managed to foster a feeling of independence and self-assurance among teens over the years.

The message of this ad campaign is still fresh in my mind. I’m sure it had a lasting effect on many others who heard it because it succeeded in building public awareness about the problem of drug abuse and in promoting a positive lifestyle.

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Hire temporary employees to work on specific projects.

Explanation:

Human resource management is the process by which a business effectively manages its manpower needs to meet its organisational goals at a reduced cost to the business.

It involves the various strategies used to hire employees to meet business needs in a cost-effective way.

The construction division has a highly seasonal workload, with fewer projects in the winter than in the summer. Also, different expertise is needed for different kinds of buildings. So hiring a permanent workforce is counterproductive as they will be paid when there is no work to be done. The best strategy is to hire temporary workers. Also there is need for specialised staff to work on specific projects.
