Answer:
b) households will save more because they will expect higher taxes in the future
Explanation:
The Ricardian Equivalence proposition is one of the pillars of classical economics, which sadly has proven to not work very well in the real world. According to classical economists, and their quantity theory of money plus the Ricardian Equivalence, recessions do not exist because it is impossible for them to exist. But in the real world, that is not true. Recessions exist, e.g. the US is in a recession since the first quarter of 2020 (even before the current health crisis). When real people lose their jobs or are afraid to lose their jobs, their spending habits change.
On the other hand, when real people get a tax refund or tax cut, they generally spend it, they will not save it to pay future taxes. That is why car sales increase during February after checks form the IRS are handed out.
Theoretically, classical economics is great. The problem is that we are human beings, and as such, our behavior cannot be controlled or determined by what we should or should not do. This is exactly why the velocity of money (quantitative theory of money) is not constant.
Answer:
The EOQ is 353 units
Explanation:
The economic order quantity or EOQ is the quantoty that minimized the holding and ordering cost for invetory.
The formula for EOQ is,
EOQ = √(2*D*O) / H
Where,
- D is the annual demand in units
- O is the ordering cost per order
- H is the holding cost per unit per annum
The annual demand of oil filters by Sam is,
Annual demand = 52 * 150 = 7800 filters
The EOQ for Sam Auto Shop is,
EOQ = √(2*7800*16) / 2
EOQ = 353.27 Units rounded off to 353 units

Answer:
variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard hours per unit of output 7.0 hours
Standard variable overhead rate $ 13.40 per hour
Actual hours 2,725 hours
The actual output of 150 units
To calculate the variable overhead efficiency variance, we need to use the following formula:
variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Standard quantity= 150*7= 1,050 hours
variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,050 - 2,750)*13.4
variable overhead efficiency variance= $22,780 unfavorable
