Suppose gold​ (G) and silver​ (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also th

at the supplies of both are fixed in the short run ​(Qg =60 and Qs=270​) and that the demands for gold and silver are given by the following​ equations:
Pg = 930− Qg +0.50 Ps and Ps = 600− Qs S + 0.50 Pg.

What the the equilibrium prices of gold and​ silver?

The equilibrium price of gold is​$_______and the equlibrium price of siliver is ​$________. ​(Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.​)

What if a new discovery of gold doubles the quantity supplied to 120​? How will this discovery affect the prices of both gold and​ silver?

The equilibrium price of gold will be ​$_______ and the equlibrium price of siliver will be​$________.

Answer:

a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020

b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980

Explanation:

a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:

P_g = 930-60 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1740 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,380\\P_s = 1,020

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.

b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:

P_g = 930-120 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1620 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,300\\P_s = 980

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.

slega [8]

Answer:

The question is wrong ,find attached correct question:

The correct option in the attached is $58290 ,option E,which is missing in the original question

Explanation:

Cash flow from operating activities=net income+depreciation charge-increase in accounts receivable+decrease in inventory+decrease in prepaid expenses-decrease in accounts payable+loss on sale of land-gain on sale of equipment

cash flow from operating activities=$26,890+($135,000-$92,000)-($77,000-$64,000)+($140,000-$132,000)+($16,540-$12,140)-($45,000-$33,000)+$2000-$1000=$58290

hornton Computer Services, Inc. has been in business for six months. The following are basic ­operating data for that period: Mo
nignag [31]

Answer:

The total monthly fixed cost and the variable cost per hour is $1,540 and $23

The average contribution margin per hour is $27

Explanation:

The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour by using high low method is shown below:

Variable cost per hour = (High Operating cost - low operating cost) ÷ (High service hours - low service hours)

= ($11,200 - $4,300) ÷ (420 hours - 120 hours)

= $6,900 ÷ 300 hours

= $23

Now the fixed cost equal to

= High operating cost - (High service hours × Variable cost per hour)

= $11,200 - (420 hours × $23)

= $11,200 - $9,660

= $1,540

For computing the contribution margin per hour, first we have to compute the revenue per hour which is shown below:

= Revenue ÷ service hours

= $6,000 ÷ 120 hours

= $50

We know that,

The contribution per hour = Revenue per hour - variable cost per hour

                                           = $50 - $23

                                           = $27

At the beginning of a recession in 2018, unemployment begins rising. Unemployment increases from 4.6% to 7.9% in 4 months. What
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Should be done: a counter cyclical or a growth-oriented  fiscal policy ,deficit spending and stabilize the aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Keynesian economy is a macroeconomic theory based on the views of the 20th century British economist John Maynard Keynes. Keynes' economy advocates a mixed economy where the private sector is predominant but the state and the public sector play a major role. According to the Keynesian theory, the sum of all the micro-economic behaviors shown by all individuals and businesses results in inefficiency and the economy operates at a level below its potential output and growth. When total demand for products is insufficient, the economy enters a crisis and unnecessary unemployment arises due to defensive behavior of the producers. In such cases, the government may pursue policies to increase aggregate demand, and as a result may accelerate economic activities and reduce unemployment. Most Keynesian propose policies to stabilize the business cycle. For example, if the unemployment level is too high, the state can pursue a growth-oriented monetary policy.

Keynes was thinking of reviving the economy with low interest and state investments as a solution to the Great Depression. The government increases investment income and consequently consumption, resulting in more production and investment, resulting in increased consumption again. The first economic stimulus investment triggers a series of events and the subsequent investment provides a much tougher economic efficiency. According to Keynes, money supply is provided by monetary authority (eg central bank) and monetary policy affects prices. When interest rates fall below this normal rate, investors avoid buying bonds and prefer to hold cash in anticipation of higher rates. When interest rates are above this normal rate, they tend to buy bonds with the expectation that they will fall. Therefore, it can be said that there is a negative relationship between money demand and interest rate.

At the end of 2018, Murray State Lenders had a balance in its Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $4,500 (credit) before any
Kruka [31]

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the estimated uncollectible accounts is shown below:

Bad debt expense Dr $7,500

      To Allowance for uncollectible accounts       $7,500

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

= Estimated amount for uncollectible accounts - credit balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts

= $12,000 - $4,500

= $7,500
