Answer:
1. As the price level rises, the cost of borrowing money will <u>rise</u>, causing the quantity of output demanded to <u>fall</u>.
This phenomenon is known as the <u>Interest rate</u> effect.
When price levels rise, people will have to spend more on goods and services and hence save less. As they save less there'll be less loanable funds in the economy which will force interest rates (cost of borrowing) up. As there are less loans to give out and higher rates, people will borrow less and as a result will not demand as much because they can't afford it.
2. Additionally, as the price level rises, the impact on the domestic interest rate will cause the real value of the dollar to <u>rise</u> in foreign exchange markets. The number of domestic products purchased by foreigners (exports) will therefore <u>fall</u>, and the number of foreign products purchased by domestic consumers and firms (imports) will <u>rise</u>. Net exports will therefore <u>fall</u>, causing the quantity of domestic output demanded to <u>fall</u>. This phenomenon is known as the <u>exchange rate</u> effect.
As interest rates rise in the Economy, it will make the country a more attractive place to invest for foreigners so they will demand more of the local currency. This will cause a rise in the value of the domestic currency. This will make the exports of the country more expensive so less people outside will buy it but it will also make foreign products seem cheaper so the local consumers will import more.

Answer:
The single-factor productivity of the firm is 1 seat per labor hour.
Explanation:
The Single-factor productivity means the output when a unit of input is used. It is used to identify how many resources are used to produce a unit output.
The Acme Aircraft produce 1 aircraft seat per labor hour.
The single-factor productivity is calculated by formula
:
Output/Input
No. of seats produced / ( No. of workers * Hours worked )
Single Factor Productivity = 2 Seats / 4 workers * 0.5 (30/60) hours

Explanation:
When including initial costs in a project's cash-flow, the relevant costs are those that henceforth will be spent on the project. Sunk costs are not to be included because they have already been incurred and cannot be recovered.
Research and Development costs have already been incurred and so are sunk costs. Hence they are not to be included in the initial cash-flow for the project.
