Answer:

C. Reducing the discount rate

Explanation:

Expansionary monetary policies are macroeconomic undertakings by the Federal Reserve that aim at stimulating economic growth in the economy. Expansionary policies result in an increased flow of money in the country, which increases the aggregate demand.

The discount rate is the rate at which the Federal Reserve (the Fed ) charges commercial banks for advancing them credit. Reducing the discount rate makes loans from the Fed more affordable. Commercial banks will opt to borrow from the Fed at lower rates and lend out to households and firms at a higher interest rate, thereby making profits. Reducing the discount rate increases the money available for banks to lend out. Households and businesses will borrow this money for development and investments, which ignites economic growth.

Vintage Baskets had the following department data: Work in process, physical units, August 1 8,000 Completed and transferred out

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Equivalent units in the month of August using weighted average = 67,000

Explanation:

Using the weighted average method we have,

Opening equivalent units for material = 8,000 as materials are added in the beginning of the process.

Completed and transferred = 69,000

Out of which 8,000 were from opening

Therefore equivalent units = 69,000 - 8,000 = 61,000

Closing inventory = 6,000 again this will also be 100 % complete for materials as the material is added in beginning.

Total equivalent units in the month of August using weighted average = 61,000 + 6,000 = 67,000

David ungar holds a dunkin' donuts franchise. The terms of his franchise agreement require him to use only those ingredients fur

Andrej [43]

In a franchise, the franchisor allows the franchisee to trade under its name and see its products for a fee The franchisee pays an original fee to franchisor and a percentage of its profit for the privilege.So,since, Dunkin' Doughnuts is sharing its' brand name and image with David Ungar(his franchisee) it would definately want to improve it...at the least maintain it...David too is right on the other hand as there can be a possibility that he wants to use ingredients of a much higher quality than that provided.But dunkin' doughnuts can't still allow to do that as it has other franchisees to look after.Imagine that=>all the franchisees of dunkin' doughnuts use different ingredients with different quality..wouldn't this affects the image of the franchisor...also all the food items they sell will have a different taste depending on the ingredients.And if one of the franchisee buys cheap ingredients... thereby producing low quality out put ..the customers will not be satisfied...this will not only affect that franchisee but also the Brand image of the whole business worldwide.

To conclude,David may not be wrong with his idea but since dunkin' doughnuts is a big business with a good brand image...it has its' terms and requirements.
