Before the invention of money, people exchanged the goods produced. For example, a corn producer traded with a sugar beet producer. This means that each commodity has an intrinsic value. The problem is that this value is difficult to predict. Representative money has emerged as a way of facilitating trade. Money has peculiar characteristics that differ from commodities. Money is easily carried, highly divisible and accepted by everyone. Since the creation of money, it has become easier to market goods and services.

Sales                                                  $18,500,000

tax at 34%(34%*$5,550,000)            ($1,887,000)

Net income                                          $3,663,000.

Company's worth= $3,663,000/15%

                             =$24,420,000

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: $17 trillion.

Explanation:

The Gross Domestic Product or GDP represents the overall market value of all the goods and services a country produces and it measures the size of the economy. The GDP is determined with the following formula:

GDP = C +  G + I + NX

where:

  • C: private consumption or consumer spending
  • G: government spending
  • I: businesses' capital spending
  • NX: net exports (exports - imports)

In the example:

GDP = $3 trillion + $10 trillion + $4 trillion = $17 trillion

g100num [7]

Liquidity

Explanation:

Liquidity is the degree to which an asset can be converted to cash.  Assets that can easily be converted are described as liquid assets and include stocks and bonds.

The law of increasing opportunity costs Multiple Choice applies to land-intensive commodities but not to labor-intensive or capi
yan [13]

Answer:

may limit the extent to which a nation specializes in producing of a particular product.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Simply stated, it is the cost of not enjoying the benefits, profits or value associated with the alternative forgone or best alternative choice available.

For instance, if you decide to invest resources such as money in a food business (restaurant), your opportunity cost would be the profits you could have earned if you had invested the same amount of resources in a salon business or any other business as the case may be.

The law of increasing opportunity costs can be defined as a principle in business which states that, if an organization or business firm continually raise (increase) its level of production, its opportunity cost also increases (rises).

Consequently, this may limit the extent to which a nation or country in any part of the world specializes in producing of a particular product so as to reduce or lower its opportunity cost.

Piper Corp. is operating at 70% of capacity and is currently purchasing a part used in its manufacturing operations for $24 per
Sauron [17]

Answer:

$30,000 increase

Explanation:

Piper Corp is operating at 70% capacity, and so we can produce the unit in-house at no increase to fixed cost we are already incurring. So we assume fixed cost for the extra production is zero

Without fixed cost the unit can be produced at $26, so cost of producing the units needed= 26*15,000= $390,000

To buy the product we need $24 per unit, so the cost of buying the needed units is= 24* 15,000= $360,000

The differential cost of making the part rather than purchasing it = Cost of inhouse production- Cost of Buying= 390,000- 360,000= $30,000
