A hypothesis, which is the theory that will be tested and either explained or disproved during the course of the research.
Answer:
= $132,000.
Explanation:
There are two types of fixed costs, general fixed cost and specific fixed cost.
<u><em>General fixed costs </em></u><em>are those that cannot be traced to a specific product rather they are incurred for the benefit of all of the product being produced. For example,the rent of the factory where three products are being produced</em>
So they are unavoidable should a product be ceased for production that is they would still be incurred either way.
<u>S</u><u><em>pecific fixed costs </em></u><em>are those incurred specifically for a particular product and as such they would be saved should the product be discontinued. For example , if a special machine that cost $4000 a month to rent is used to produce a product. The $4000 would be saved should the production of the product ceases</em>
The net operating cost of the company would increase by the amount of the avoidable specific fixed cost:
=$90,000 + $42,000
= $132,000.
Answer: All competitive advantages do not accrue to large-sized firms. A major advantage of smaller firms are that they "(B) can launch competitive actions more quickly."
Explanation: Smaller companies can launch competitive actions faster because being smaller, communication is much faster, and decision-making involves fewer interested people who may differ in opinions to direct competitive strategies.
Question:
For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):
A. increase in potential output
B. recessionary output gap
C. decrease in potential output
D. expansionary output gap
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.
PAE = C + Ip + G + NX
where
PAE = Planned Aggregate Expenditure
C = consumption
Ip = Investment Spending
G = Government Spending
NX = Net Export
If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.
Cheers!
