Answer:

There are a several ways to try to forecast the most accuarete possible the demand of the product. Some techniques are explained below.

Explanation:

First of all, the company should do a study about the consumption of the new product and they do that by calling a group of consumers to try the new good in the companie's facilities and also to do a questionary to be release to the public in order to have more answers about how would they react act about it. Secondly, once all that information is gathered, the organization should start a calculation on the amount of goods that it will have to produce in order to obtain a good amount of benefits of selling the product. And finally the company should constrast that calculation to the number of people that said in the questionaries that it will buy it and also to the number of people that said that will buy it in the test of the product.

marin [14]

Answer: Demand will fall, Interest rates will fall

Explanation:

The investment tax credit would have encouraged more companies to seek loanable funds in order to embark on investment opportunities because they would be taxed less. This increase in demand in the market for loanable funds would have led to rates rising to keep up with demand.

If Congress were to end this credit, the incentive to invest and avoid tax would be gone. Companies would therefore demand less loanable funds and with this drop in demand there will be a drop in interest rates as well to entice people to borrow at the lower rates.

Suppose the yield on short-term government securities (perceived to be risk-free) is about 4%. Suppose also that the expected re
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: 10%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset Pricing Model or CAPM for short can be used to calculate expected return in the following manner,

Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)

Rf = Risk free rate

B = Beta

Rm= Market return.

Plugging the figures in we have

Expected return = Rf+B(Rm-Rf)

= 0.04 + 1(0.1 - 0.04)

= 0.1

= 10%

Alina [70]

Answer:

No entry – neither party has performed under the contract.

August 1,2021

Dr.  Cash                                        $4,000

Dr.  Accounts Receivable            $700

Cr.  Unearned Service Revenue  $1,085

Cr.  Sales revenue                        $3,615

Dr.  Cost of goods Sold                $2,300

Cr.  Inventory                                 $2,300

Explanation:

As no one performed under the contract on June 1, 2021, so there will be no entry on this day.

On August 1, 2021, Windsor has 2 performance obligations

First: Delivery of the windows

&

Second: Installation of the windows

Fair value of Windows = $4,000

Fair value of Installation services = $1,200

Fair Value of Contract  = $4,000 + $1,200 = $5,200

Allocation of to revenue is based on the ratio of fair value of each performance to the total fair value of contract, As below

Windows  = ($4,000 / $5,200) X $4,700 = $3,615 (round to nearest dollar)

Installation services = ($1,200/$5,200) X $4,700 = $1,085 (round to nearest dollar)

Total Revenue recognized = $4,700

In the late 1970s Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker contracted the money supply to reduce the rate of inflation. One result
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Since the money supply was contracted to reduce the rate of inflation, this will lead to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

In this case as a result of the increase in the interest rate, people will prefer to save their money in the banks and thus will result in less money in circulation which ultimately reduces the demand for goods and services.
