Answer and explanation:

This investment tax credit will lead to a surge in the investment demand, because of the benefits that the firms receive from the investment tax credit. More and more firms will undertake investments leading to an increase causing the IS curve to shift to the right.

This implies that the output and GDP will increase in the short run.

US consumers' infatuation with goods and services from New Zealand is going to increase the imports of the country. While it may also reduce the domestic consumption spending. This, however, will affect the country by shifting its IS curve to the left.

This implies that the output and GDP will decrease in the short ran.

Though the prices of the houses will fall sharply, increasing the affordability of the houses but the confidence of the people in real estate will be shaken. This would lead to a fall in the housing investment. This fall in investment will shift the IS curve to the left.

This implies that the output and GDP will decrease in the short run.

Answer:

Strategic dissonance

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the term that best illustrates the situation is Strategic dissonance.

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

Required 1.

Break even point (dollar sales) = $750,000

Required 2.

Break even point (dollar sales) = $1,250,000

Required 3.

ASTRO COMPANY

Forecasted Contribution Margin Income Statement

For Year Ended December 31, 2016

Sales $ 1,000,000

Variable costs ($ 400,000 )

Contribution margin $ 600,000

Fixed costs ($ 450,000 )

Net loss $ 150,000

Required 4.

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = 73,334

Explanation:

Break even point is the level of activity where a Company neither makes a profit nor a loss.

Break even point (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio

Where,

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution / Sales

= $ 200,000 / $ 1,000,000

= 0.20

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = $250,000 / 0.20

= $1,250,000

Assuming the machine is installed

Contribution Margin Ratio = ($ 1,000,000 - $400,000) / $ 1,000,000

= $600,000 / $1,000,000

= 0.60

Therefore,

Break even point (dollar sales) = ($250,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

= $750,000

Sales to meet target profit of $200,000

Sales to meet target profit (dollar sales) = Fixed Cost + Target Profit / Contribution Margin Ratio

= ($450,000 + $200,000) / 0.60

= $1,833,333

Sales to meet target profit (unit sales) = $1,833,333 / $25

= 73,334

Q 6.26: Howard Incorporated is determining ending inventory. In the inventory process, Howard inadvertently miscategorized a $6,

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

This error will decrease Howard's inventory by $6,000

Explanation:

Howard's inventory should include:

inventory on hand + goods purchased FOB shipping point + goods sold FOB destination point.

FOB shipping point means that the title of the goods is passed at the moment that they leave the seller's warehouse. FOB destination point means that the title of the goods is passed only after they have been delivered to the buyer's warehouse.

In this case, Howard purchased goods as FOB shipping point, so that means they should have been included in their inventory. Since they weren't, this error will decrease its inventory by $6,000.

Zina [86]

Answer:

A change in quantity demanded is caused by a change in price only. That is, when price rises quantity demanded falls vise versa

A change in demand occurs when there is a shift in the demand caused by a change in other determinates of demand other than price such as change in income, change in taste and fashion, demographic changes etc.

Explanation:

Real word example of change in demand :

Changing Tastes or Preferences

From 1990 to 2020, the per-person consumption of chicken by Americans rose from 48 pounds per year to 85 pounds per year, and consumption of beef fell from 77 pounds per year to 54 pounds per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Changes like these are largely due to movements in taste, which change the quantity of a good demanded at every price: that is, they shift the demand curve for that good, rightward for chicken and leftward for beef.

Simply put it this way> Change in quantity demanded : Price change, quantity demanded change

Change in Demand: Price doesn't change but quantity demanded changes as a result of change in other determinates of demand examples the change in preference
