Answer:

a) a downward shift in the AFC curve

Explanation:

AFC = Average Fixed Cost, AVC = Average Variable Cost, MC = Marginal Cost

Average Fixed Cost is defined as the fixed cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:

Average Fixed Cost = Fixed Cost ÷ Quantity

AVC = FC ÷ Q

Average Variable Cost is defined as the variable cost of production divided by the quantity produced. Mathematically given as:

AFC = VC ÷ Q

Marginal Cost is defined as the cost incurred for an additional unit to be produced. Mathematically given as:

MC = ΔC ÷ ΔQ

The firm discovered a more efficient technology implies that the cost of production is reduced. The result of this is that the fixed cost (FC) is reduced and consequently, the AFC is reduced as well. Hence, the AFC curve shifts downward. We therefore see that a reduction in fixed costs (due to the discovery of a more efficient technology) results in the AFC curve shifting downwards

<u>Hence, Option A (a downward shift in the AFC curve) is the correct answer </u>

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

b. credit to Cash $60,000.

Explanation:

Given that:

Hurley Corporation issues the principal amount of $500,000

Time = 5 years

Rate = 12%  at 96  with interest payable on January 1

Discount on issue  =500000 × (1 - 0.96) = 20000

Annual discount  amortization= 20000/5 = 4000                  

Interest payable  = 500000× 12% =  60000

From the information given in the question; we can have a journal entry to determine the what the straight-line method will include.

So, let have a look at the table below:

Discount on issue                     20000                                      

Annual discount                        4000

amortization

                                                     Debit                            Credit

Interest expense                         64000

Discount on Bonds payable                                            4000

Interest payable                                                               60000

Now; The January 1 entries will now be as follows:

                                                    Debit                        Credit

Interest payable                           60,000

Cash                                                                                60,000

Thus; The entry on January 1 to record payment of bond interest assuming amortization of bond discount used the straight-line method will include a: <u>Credit to cash  $60,000</u>

KIM [24]
<h2>Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs.</h2>

Explanation:

Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs. In terms of political differences, some countries have parliamentary governments while some countries like the US have presidential governments.

Regardless of how each country operate politically, most of the operational system of these countries are embedded in democracy and the general welfare of its citizens. The differences occur because of these operational systems of each country. They could differ in policies, reforms or laws which are based on the interests of its people and the nation.

In economic terms, the differences occur when governments prioritize what economic policies or model they choose to implement. Economic systems of a country change according to the need of the times. For instance,  China initially, after its independence, chose to remain a closed economy until it reformed its policies in 1978 to finally open up the country.

Legal systems of countries differ from one another as every country use a civil law system based on its cultural, social, political and historical circumstances. For instance, in US each state has the power to establish its own legal procedures while in some country, every state must follow a uniform civil code.

As we know the political economy refers to both the political and economic systems of a country, management practice of national differences is important to taken into account before securing economic relations with another country. Management practice of national differences helps in finding favorable economic and political systems around the world for a country to make both economic and political partnership with.
