Answer:
a. The advantages of the flexible exchange rate system include: (I) provides insulation against unemployment problem in other countries and (ii) promotes economic development and helps to achieve full employment in the country, iii) automatically corrects the disequilibrium in the balance of payments.
b. If exchange rates are fluctuating randomly, that may discourage international trade and encourage market segmentation, they are very volatile
c. Economic agents can hedge exchange risk by means of forward contracts and other techniques. In addition, under a fixed exchange rate regime, governments often restrict international trade in order to maintain the exchange rate.

Answer:
c. $36,070
Explanation:
contribution margin ratio is the ratio of the contribution to sales of an entity for a given period.
contribution margin ratio= contribution/sales
where contribution is the difference between sales and the variable cost
Given;
sales = $137,000
contribution margin ratio = 61% = 0.61
0.61 = contribution/$137,000
contribution = $137,000 × 0.61
= $83,570
Net operating income is the difference between the contribution and the fixed cost.
Fixed cost = $47,500
Net operating income = $83,570 - $47,500
= $36,070
Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high
Explanation:
If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.
However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.

Answer:
73,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of equivalent units for conversion costs is shown below:-
Equivalent units = Units transferred ÷ Finished goods + (Units in closing Work in progress × Percentage of completion)
= (8,000 + 69,000 - 5,000) + (5,000 × 20%)
= 72,000 + 1,000
= 73,000 units
Therefore for computing the Equivalent units we simply applied the above formula.
