Answer:

The Federal Reserve pursued policies that most closely followed the theories of Keynes and Friedman. Both economists argued that aggregate demand could be influenced through policies. They believed that this could help the economy recover or grow. The Fed seemed to follow Keynes's theories by taking action to intervene. It also seemed to follow Friedman's thinking by focusing on increasing the money supply through monetary policy.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: E - The technology which the company is considering adopting was recently developed and has not yet been successfully implemented in a real business context.

Explanation: the company would be able to recover the cost of adoption of the new technology . This strengthens the argument that the upgrade should take place.

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

b. Buy £1,000,000 forward for $1.50/£.

Explanation:

Let's say for instance, we agree to make purchase of €1,000,000 and then forward for $1.50/€ and we assume that the price turns out to become $1.62/€ in three months time, the expected profit will be $12,000 = €1,000,000 ($1.62 - $1.50)As we can see, answer d looks convincing from an accounting standpoint, but it is wrong because the question asks us to make money with a forward contract, not by holding a particular spot. The correct option should be option b.

When marx argued that capitalism “reproduces the class structure,” he meant that?

Lisa [10]

If you are rich, you own the means to make more money. Your son will then take over from you, and the class structure will remain intact. Likewise, if you are poor, you can only afford to work in a factory, you cannot pay for a good education for your child, they'll end up working in a factory to survive. The class structure remains the same, each generation of rich people will exploit every generation of poor people. That was also why Marx thought the workers must unite and take control of the means of production, so that they would not be exploited.

Yard Tools manufactures lawnmowers, weed-trimmers, and chainsaws. Its sales mix and unit contribution margin are as follows. Sal

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin

Weighted average contribution margin= 0.2*33 + 0.5*22 + 0.3*41

Weighted average contribution margin= $29.9

Break-even point (units)= 4,544,800 / 29.9

Break-even point (units)= 152,000 units

Now, for each product:

Lawnmowers= 0.2*152,000=30,400

Weed-trimmers= 0.5*152,000= 76,000

Chainsaws= 0.3*152,000= 45,600
