Answer: As consumers, we have to make decisions because our wants are <em><u>unlimited but our resources are limited</u></em>. Since you have two of the same choices, I am assuming there is a typo and this is the choice that should be there.
Explanation:
As a consumer, there is so much that can be bought but financially most people can't afford everything. When buying an item, it is up the consumer to determine if they can afford the item or go without it. Sometimes, we buy the item even though we can't afford it and then regret the purchase. To satisfy a persons wants, a budget must be in place to be able to save money to purchase items.
Given:
Principal, P = 26500
term=5 years
Monthly payment, A = 695
Question: Find interest rate
Solution:
Unless there is a table available, there is no explicit formula to calculate interest. However, the interest rate can be solved for using the formula to calculate the monthly payment, as follows.
Substituting
P=26500
i=monthly interest rate to be found
A=monthly payment=695
n=5*12=60 months
Rearrange to give successive estimates of i by
I(i)=(695/26500)*((1+i)^60-1)/(1+i)^60
Try initial estimate of i=0.02 (2% per month)
I(0.02)=0.0182
I(0.0182)=0.01736
I(0.01736)=0.01689
....
Eventually we get the value to stabilize at i=0.016265, or
Monthly interest =
1.6265% (to four decimal places)

Answer:
The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.
Explanation:
It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.
It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.
On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.
The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.
Answer:
Indirect costs incurred in a manufacturing environment that cannot be traced directly to a product are treated as Product costs and expenses when the goods are sold, Option D.
Explanation:
Indirect costs are also manufacturing overheads which cannot be directly put on the product but they have to be allocated in some way. So, these are treated as 'product costs' and 'expenses' when the goods are sold. They are not period costs as per Option A and option C. Option B which says that it is product costs when incurred, which is also incorrect.
Examples of indirect costs can be accounting and legal expenses, rent, telephone expenses, salaries of administrative.
Direct costs includes the costs of direct 'labor', materials and commissions.
