Answer:

A. The federal government could not levy taxes.

C. The federal government could not raise an army.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation established a confederacy in which the states were given full sovereignty and the central government was given very few powers. Some of the weaknesses of this constitution was that the government could not levy taxes and therefore was unable not pay their expenses and debts owed from the Revolution or to secure new funds, instead it could only raise money by borrowing from foreign governments, selling western lands or asking the states for funds (which had the option to reject the request). Likewise, even though the government had the power to declare war, it wasn't authorized to draft soldiers from the states and therefore, it was also unable to raise an army.

A product has annual demand of 100,000 units. The plant manager wants production to follow a four-hour cycle. Based on the follo

vova2212 [387]

Answer: The options are given below:

A. $18.00

B. $1,036.80

C. $2.00

D. $7.20

E. $64.00

The correct option is D. $7.20

Explanation:

From the question above, we were given:

Annual demand = 100,000 units

Production = 4 hour cycle

d = 400 per day (250 days per year)

p = 4000 units per day

H = $40 per unit per year

Q = 200

We will be using the EPQ or Q formula to calculate the cost setup, thus:

Q = √(2Ds/H) . √(p/(p-d)

200=√(2x400x250s/40 . √(4000/(4000-400)

200=√5,000s . √1.11

By squaring both sides, we have:

40,000=5,550s

s=40,000/5,550

s=7.20

The fundamental relationship between savings and investment spending in an economy is that: A. savings will increase as investme

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The correct option is B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In an economy, planned investment spending is always equal to planned saving. If actual saving falls short of (exceeds) planned saving, then actual investment falls short of (exceeds) planned investment.

That is the other part of the saving paradox. If an economy produces too much, such that saving is greater than planned investment, inventory will build up, giving signal to producers to reduce output, to restore equilibrium. Such investment scheme is suitable only to communist countries. Keynes has another investment theory in his liquidity story. But investment theories are equally a posterior.

Therefore, Option B is correct

Answer:

Yield management pricing

Explanation:

Yield management pricing is the charging of different prices for a given set of capacity at a specific time in order to maximize revenue. This is based on the demand and supply in the market and is very common in industries such as airlines, hotels and resorts. When there is very high demand for airline seats, prices for them are high. However, if some of those passengers decided to refund their tickets, close to departure and the flight would be taking off soon, instead of flying with empty seats and no revenue from them, the airline would decide to sell these same seats at a cheaper rate in order to gain some revenue. This is a form of revenue maximization.
