Country B because of the recent boom in inflation.
Answer:
Short range predictors:
c. Nominal interest rate differential
d. Psychological effects
e. Investor expectations
f. Bandwagon effect
Long range predictors:
a. Relative monetary growth
b. Relative inflation rates
Explanation:
Nominal rate, the real rate, and inflation. long term predictors of an economic theory in which a relationship between inflation, nominal interest rate and real interest rate is identified. It defines that real interest rate is equal to inflation minus nominal interest rate.
Bandwagon effect is a short range predictor because it is effect of uptake when people follow others. They take decisions what other do and its their belief that other people have taken the right decision so we too. This is just a short term hop based on beliefs regardless of any underlying evidence.
This is tough to answer in 3-5 sentences, and tends to also be a heavy identifier of your possible political leanings. You'll have to apologize if some of mine leak out in the response, but this is a question we debate hotly more frequently than every 4 years.
In general, international trade can help increase the GDP and overall profits for US-based corporations. However, if all we do is export, and we don't import, other countries don't look favorably upon that and may heavily tax our goods to counter this.
I believe we do need to be thoughtful about the amounts and kinds of international trade that we engage in. For example, farming is always a hotly debated issue for international trade, in part because farmers in other countries with a dramatically lower cost of living OR farmers in countries with a favorable currency rate (exchange from their currency to our dollars gives them an advantage) can undercut our farmers here in the US, many of whom are already struggling.
There are also those who are worried that when we import produce from countries that have not outlawed pesticides we know are carcinogenic, for instance, this creates not only a disadvantage for US farmers, but also for consumers who may be concerned about health issues.
As another example of this, many countries outlawed import of US beef during the Mad Cow Epidemic. We in turn also placed bans on importing beef from the UK.
These are examples of why it's important to be thoughtful about trade, but there are certainly many others, including decline in production jobs within the US that have left cities like Detroit a ghost town (this was formerly the hub of our automotive industry production).

Answer:
21,200 units
Explanation:
For determining the sales, first we have to compute the net operating income difference which is shown below:
= Net operating income under absorption costing - Net operating income under variable costing
= $89,000 - $74,600
= $14,400
Now the inventory units increased by
= $14,400 ÷ 12 per unit
= 1,200 units
And, the production units are 22,400
So, the sales would be
= 22,400 units - 1,200 units
= 21,200 units
