Answer:  

E. buyer; take; seller; make

Explanation:

A forward contract is a private agreement or a customized contract   between two parties giving the buyer an obligation to purchase an asset (and the seller an obligation to sell an asset) at a set price at a future point in time.

If you plan to grow 500 orange trees five years, you could sell your oranges for whatever the price is when you harvest it, or you could lock in a price now by selling a forward contract that obligates you to sell 500 orange trees to , say, Orange juice company after the harvest for a fixed price. By locking in the price now, you eliminate the risk of falling orange prices. On the other hand, if prices rise later, you will get only what your contract entitles you to.

If you are Orange juice company, you might want to purchase a forward contract to lock in prices and control your costs. However, you might end up overpaying or (hopefully) underpaying for the orange depending on the market price when you take delivery of the orange.

Harman [31]

Answer: The answer is b

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

By lowering production costs, subsidies help foreign competitors gain export markets. True or False
Luden [163]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Whenever, there will be reduced production costs, due to any reason in the economy, then the goods will be cheaper and accordingly the sale will be in abundance assuming other factors remain constant.

Thus, due to subsidies the cost to producers will be less and then exporters will not be able to get more share as domestic goods will cost cheaper.

Thus, there will not be any gain to foreign competitors in our domestic markets, as they will not get any share extra rather they will loose as a foreign competitor. In fact goods which are exported will also cost low, and therefore, will gain new customers.

Therefore, above stated statement is false.

scoray [572]

Answer:

A) Katie's maximum deduction is $200,000 x 20% = $40,000

But we must check that her deduction meets 3 requirements:

  1. cannot exceed 50% of her earned wages = $300,000 x 50% = $150,000 ✓ requirement met
  2. cannot exceed 25% of her earned wages + 2.5% of qualified property = ($300,000 x 25%) + ($150,000 x 2.5%) = $78,750 ✓ requirement met
  3. cannot exceed 20% of taxable income = $400,000 x 20% = $80,000 ✓ requirement met

B) Katie's maximum deduction is $400,000 x 20% = $80,000, but since her net business income is higher than her taxable income, she must calculate 20% x $350,000 (taxable income) = $70,000 (same as requirement 3 in previous answer)

Why is a consumer likely to be worse off when a product that he or she consumes is rationed?​
KIM [24]
When the price of the good is fixed at a level below the current (equilibrium) price, there will be a shortage of the good and the good will have to be effectively rationed. As in the question above, the consumer is worse off because she is not able to attain her utility maximizing point.
