dsp73

Answer:

The answer is: b

Explanation:

In long-run equilibrium, the long run aggregate demand curve and aggregate supply curve intersect where the marginal revenue (revenue derived from selling an additional unit) and marginal cost (cost incurred from producing) an additional unit) are equal. In the long-run equilibrium, this intersection occurs at the lowest point of the long-run average total cost curve (curve depicting the average cost per unit of production).

Holding all else constant, short run changes in the economy would not change the potential output levels. The long-run aggregate supply curve would remain fixed at the potential level of output. However, these changes: international tensions, corporate scandals and loss of confidence in policymakers would cause shifts in the aggregate demand curve since demand would be adversely affected.

Consumer confidence is the perspective or outlook that consumers have on the state of the economy. The destabilising factors given in this scenario would raise the levels of uncertainty and perceived risk, reducing the confidence levels of consumers and ultimately resulting in reduced demand. In long-run equilibrium, when demand is reduced, it is indicated by a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve.

Answer and Explanation:

1. Average cost periodic

Dollars $48,000+$ 105,000

= $153,000

Units $11,000+$6,000

= $17,000

153,000 / 17,000 = $9.00 Cost per unit

Cost of Goods Sold:

9,000 units × $9.00= $81,000

Ending Inventory:

8,000 units × $9.00= $72,000

2. Average cost perpetual Jan 5th sales

Dollars 48,000

Units 6000

48,000 / 6,000 = $8.00 Cost per unit

Cost of goods Sold:

3,000 units × $8.00= $24,000

Ending Inventory:

3,000 units × $8.00= $24,000

3. Average cost perpetual Jan 12th sales

Dollars 69,000

Units 8000

69,000 / 8,000 = $8.625 Cost per unit

Cost of Goods Sold:

2,000 units × $8.625

= $17,250

Ending Inventory:

6,000 units × $8.625

= $51,750

4. Average cost perpetual Jan 20th sales

Dollars 60,000+51,750

=111,750

Units 6000+6000

=12,000

111,750 / 12,000 = $9.3125 Cost per unit

Cost of Goods Sold:4,000 units ×$9.3125= $37,250

Ending Inventory:8,000 units × $9.3125= $74,500

Summary of Average Cost Perpetual

Cost of Goods Sold:

Jan 5 3,000 units= $24,000

Jan 12 2,000 units= 17,250

Jan 20 4,000units = 37,250

Total 9,000units = $78,500

Svet_ta [14]

Answer: (a).

Annexure: <u>Since a part of the information was found missing in the question, a similar question has been provided as an attachment for reference. </u>

If the interest rate falls with other things remaining constant, a firm would like to raise more money via debt instruments.

This will lead to an increase in the quantity of loanable funds demanded.

This would further lead to increase in the level of invested funds by the public as it would get cheaper for the corporates to avail loans.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Centralization of authority.

Explanation:

Centralization of authority takes place in companies where high-rank executives take most or all the decisions regarding the operations. Employees voice is not heard under this approach. Managers tend to implement this strategy when they pretend to minimize the percentage of mistakes incurred in the firm. The organization of the company tends to be bureaucratic.
