Answer: E. ​Hillary, because this is a shipment contract

Explanation:

When Parties enter into a Shipment Contract, it means that the Buyer assumes the risk for the goods being delivered even before it is delivered.

To clarify, in a Shipment Contract, The Seller only has responsibility up until the point that they deliver the goods to a Carrier or the point of Shipment. Under this contract this is also known as the Point of Delivery.

Once they have delivered it to the point of Shipment, anything that happens thereafter is on the buyer.

This is a Shipment Contract in the above scenario and the dresses were damaged during shipment which absolves the seller as they had already delivered and shipped the dresses so the risk of loss is on Hillary.

Company A has a shorter Average Collection Period than Company B using the formula 365 / (Credit Sales / Average AR Balance). Wh
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Statement B is correct

Explanation:

Provided Information that,

Company A has shorter Average Collection Period than Company B,

Average Collection Period refers to the period in which the cash is collected from debtors.

Thus in the given statements only statement B states that Company A is more efficient in collecting receivables from debtors, thus it is the correct statement.

Statement A is wrong as Company A has less Average Collection Period, thus it's credit sales percentage would be higher than Company B.

Statement C which states about generating revenue is not correct as the company might have cash sales.

Statement B is correct

Describe the slope of the demand curve? How does the slope reflect the law of demand?
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>1. The slope is negative</u>
  • <u>2. The demand decreases when the prices increase.</u>

Explanation:

<em>Describe the slope of the demand curve?</em>

<em>The slope of the demand curve</em> is negative.

The demand curve is graphed on a coordinate plane with the price in the horizontal axis (typically the x-axis) and the demand on the vertical axis (y-axis).

Thus, the slope will be the rate of change of the demand over the change on the price.

Mathematically:

           slope=\dfrac{\text{change in demand}}{\text{change in price}}

Since, as you move from left to right, on the x-axis, the prices increase, and the demand (on the y-axis) lowers, the change in demand is negative and the change in the prices is positive, resulting in a negative slope.

This is seen graphycally because the demand curve is decreasing (downward-sloping).

<em>How does the slope reflect the law of demand?</em>

The slope reflects perfectly <em>the law of demand</em> because the law of demand states that, since the resources are scarce, when the prices incrases the quantities demanded decrease.

2) Economic Growth: Use the PPF from above to illustrate the effects of saving and investment upon national GDP. Use a PPF to sh
Inessa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

Economic Growth can be defined as an increment in production capacity of an economy using all its available resources. The PPF illustrates the largest possible quantity of goods and services a nation can produce base on its available resources. An outward shift in the economy’s production possibility frontier (PPF) depicts  a raise in productive capacity of an economy.  An outward shift implies that an economy has capacity to  increase its production outputs. This can be as a result of   the economy employing new technology, allowing specialization, increasing its labour force, using new production approaches etc. Likewise, an inward shifting PPF implies an economy has witness a loss or exhaustion of some of its scarce resources and it will culminate into reduction in an economy’s productive potential.

Effects of saving and investment upon national GDP

level of savings direct related to the level of investment, investment feeds on available finance from saving. If more people save, the banks will be able  to lend more to firms to support their investments.

low savings and investment implies a PPF inward shift. low savings  in economy implies that the economy is opting for short-term consumption over long-term investment, and this will lead to future undue pressure on available infrastructures ad resources.

spending  on consumer goods vs capital goods effect on the economy

In the short run, the economy must prefer using available resources to produce capital rather than consumer goods. Standards of living will be affected, as private consumption will have access to fewer resources. However, in the longer run, the raised production of capital goods will boost  the production of more consumer goods ad therefore standards of living will experience more increase than they would have witness if the economy had spent most of its income on consumer goods.
