Answer:

The answer is: C) decrease; increase

Explanation:

When the US government guarantees a corporation´s bonds, you know the government will pay you back whatever happens. The US government has one of the best reputations in the world. So that will immediately decrease the interest rate of the corporation´s bond since it basically becomes a risk free investment.

The US government will absorb the risk from the corporation´s bonds, so depending on the total value of the bonds, the interest rate on Treasury securities might increase a little. For example, if the total amount of the bond emission was $20 billion for a corporation like Citigroup, the interest rate might increase a few points. If the amount wasn´t very large, probably the effect will go unnoticed, but there´s no chance the interest rate will decrease.

How does a market economy operate?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The principle of market economy dictates that producers and sellers of goods and services will offer them at the highest possible price that consumers are willing to pay for goods or services. When the level of supply meets the level of demand, a natural economic equilibrium is achieved.

Mekhanik [1.2K]
<span>Setting a rent control price ceiling will cause the same impact as any other price ceiling that is below the market equilibrium price: it will create a shortage in the market. At the price equilibrium of $600, the number of renters would exactly meet the number of available 2 bedroom apartments. However, with this fixed price ceiling, the position along the demand curve will shift to one of higher demand, with no analogous change in the supply curve. Thus there will be more renters than can be supported, and renters will have to look for alternatives and substitutes.</span>

Wanda is in charge of acquisitions for her company. Realizing that water is important to company operations, Wanda buys a plant
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

This is a very unlikely situation, since the plant must be really large and the river probably didn't carry a lot of water in the first place. But even if this was possible, it would be illegal for a company to use 100% of the natural resources available. No law or regulation (municipal, state or federal) would allow such thing to happen and assuming it got to court, the court would rule against the company.

Since you need an environmental impact report before you start building a factory, then it would be unlikely that the factory or plant was legally authorized to operate in the first place. The only option is that they built a dam and that is highly regulated.

Nico Corporation has cost of goods sold of $300,000 and inventory of $30,000, then the inventory turnover is ________ and the av
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Invnetory TurnOver   10

Average inventory   36.5

Explanation:

\frac{COGS}{Inventory} = $TO Inventory\\

300,000 / 30,000 = 10

The company sales his inventory 10 times per year

In some cases, we are given with a beginning and ending inventory.

For those, we calculate the average inventory:

(beginning + ending)/2

\frac{365}{Inventory \: TO} =$average age

365/10 = 36.5

The average the inventory age is 36.5 days

365 are the days of the year, and the inventory Turnover are the times per year the inventory is being sold.

we divide one fro manother to get a metric in days of how much the invneotry is in store before being sold.
