julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Suppose a huge increase in credit card frauds leads to many businesses refusing to accept payments by credit cards. As a result, people want to keep more cash on hand, increasing the demand for money. Assume the Fed does not change the money supply. According to the theory of liquidity preference, the interest rate will __increase__ , which causes aggregate demand to__decrease_

If instead the Fed wants to stabilize aggregate demand, it should ___increase__ the money supply by _purchasing__ government bonds.

Explanation:

The economy's aggregate demand will increase as a result of the increased preference for liquidity leads to an increase in consumer spending, thereby increasing the Gross Domestic Product. If the Fed increases the money supply in response to the increased preference for liquidity, it will cause a reduction in interest rates, thereby further increasing consumer spending.

Suppose a government has access to the following sources of funding currently as well as over the long run:

Sidana [21]

Answer:

spending and transfer payments = $1350

so correct option is D. $1,350

fundamental revenue = $1100

so correct option is D. $1,100

Explanation:

given data

Taxes = $1,000

User charges = $100

Borrowed funds = $250

to find out

spending on goods and services and transfer payment and fundamental revenues

solution

we know that here All three taxes, User charges and Borrowed funds are the source of fund

so that we spending and transfer payments are limit that is

spending and transfer payments = Taxes + User charges + Borrowed funds

spending and transfer payments = $1000 + $100 + $250

spending and transfer payments = $1350

so correct option is D. $1,350

and

as borrow funds can not part of fundamental revenue

so that they are to be paid back

so here fundamental revenue will be

fundamental revenue = Taxes + User charges

fundamental revenue = $1000 + $100

fundamental revenue = $1100

so correct option is D. $1,100

If you had a choice how much are you willing to pay per month to have access to and use the various social media platforms?

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer: $10 per month

Explanation:

$10 would be an ideal amount for me to pay to have access to the various social media sites if the major sites are on offer.

I think this amount reasonable because I do not use social media all that much but I would still like access to a variety of them. I would essentially therefore, be paying for my reduced time on the net.

Some might say that the companies might not make a profit if they charge $10 a month but I think they will because they make most of their money from ads so it would be good for them to offer the lowest subscription prices so that they can capture more people which will appeal to advertisers.

Tiago makes three models of camera lens. Its product mix and contribution margin per unit follow:

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Tiago

1. Weighted-average contribution margin per unit:

Weighted-Average

Contribution margin

per unit

Lens A $9.5

Lens B 12.0

Lens C 15.05

2. Break-even point (units) for each = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= Lens A = 4,921 units

Lens B = 6,233 units

Lens C = 4,349 units

3. Units to generate a profit target: = (FC+ Target Profit)/Contribution per unit

Lens A = 6,842 units

Lens B = 8,667 units

Lens C = 6,047 units

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Percentage of Contribution Weighted-Average

Unit sales Margin per unit Contribution margin per unit

Lens A 25 % $ 38 $9.5

Lens B 40 30 12.0

Lens C 35 43 15.05

Fixed Costs of $187,000:

Lens A = 25% of $187,000 = $46,750

Lens B = 40% of $187,000 = $74,800

Lens C = 35% of $187,000 = $65,450

Break-even point (units) for each = Fixed cost/Contribution margin per unit

= Lens A = $46,750/$9.5 = 4,921 units

Lens B = $74,800/$12 = 6,233 units

Lens C = $65,450/$15.05 = 4,349 units

Profit of $73,000

Lens A = 25% of $73,000 = $18,250

Lens B = 40% of $73,000 = $29,200

Lens C = 35% of $73,000 = $25,550

Units to generate a profit target: = (FC+ Target Profit)/Contribution per unit

Lens A = ($46,750 + $18,250)/$9.5 = 6,842 units

Lens B = ($74,800 + $29,200)/$12 = 8,667 units

Lens C = ($65,450 + $25,550)/$15.05 = 6,047 units
