Answer:
a. The correct option is that U.S. manufacturers can possibly compete if U.S. workers are more productive.
b. The correct option is that all manufacturing is not done in Mexico and other low-wage countries because of trade barriers.
Explanation:
a. U.S. manufacturers can possibly compete if
A worker or labor is said to be more productive if it produces or able to produce larger amounts of goods than the other workers or labors.
If the U.S. workers are more productive than the workers in Mexico, the labor cost per unit of goods produced in the US will be lower than the labor cost per unit of goods in Mexico.
Therefore, the correct option is that U.S. manufacturers can possibly compete if U.S. workers are more productive.
b. All manufacturing is not done in Mexico and other low-wage countries because
Trade barriers are restrictions on international trade imposed by the government.
When a country imposes trade barriers, some goods will not be imported into that country even if they are cheaper in terms of average compensation per hour for manufacturing workers than the locally produced goods. As a result, some of the goods have to be manufactured in the country where average compensation per hour for manufacturing workers is the highest.
Therefore, the correct option is that all manufacturing is not done in Mexico and other low-wage countries because of trade barriers.

Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Work in Process A/c - Assembly department A/c Dr $52,320
Work in Process A/c - Finishing department A/c Dr $41,440
To Manufacturing overhead A/c $93,760
(Being the overhead are allocated to the Assembly and Finishing Departments)
The allocation of the assembly department equals to
= Raw material × percentage of labor cost
= $32,700 × 160%
= $52,320
The allocation of the finishing department equals to
= (Factory labor cost - factory labor) × percentage of labor cost
= ($63,800 - $37,900) × 160%
= $25,900 × 160%
= $41,440
Answer: The correct answer is "a. decrease; decrease; decrease".
Explanation: Suppose the Federal Reserve engages in open-market operations. It sells $20 billion in U.S. securities. It also raises the reserve ratio. This causes excess reserves to <u>decrease</u>, the money supply to <u>decrease</u>, and the money multiplier to <u>decrease</u>.
Answer:
C. Incipient Stage of the Social Movement
Explanation:
Social Movements represent group actions. The movement is usually characterized by the coming together of organisations or individuals, it can be formal or informal. The focus of social movements is to provoke action or bring about change in areas of the society.
Social Movements are marked by 4 stages: Emergence, coalescence, bureaucratization, and decline
Stage 1: Emergence or Incipient Stage - This stage is where individuals in isolated areas begin to see or believe there is a problem with a policy or an area of society. There is disappointment with certain social or political issues. It is the stage of realisation of a problem and dissatisfaction with the problem and this is the stage identified in the question.
Stage 2: Coalescence - This stage goes beyond the dissatisfaction to people, groups coming together to discuss the issue and then campaigns and protests begin to emerge
Stage 3: bureaucratization- Powerful unions begin to emerge, these coalitions also begin to acquire political power to cause change in the issues they are addressing.
Stage 4: Decline - Decline can be defined as the fizzling out of the movement, it can be due to the fact that it succeeded in causing a societal change in the area addressed or it failed and had to disband.
