Answer: Input Prices have increased.

Explanation:

When an Economy sees prices rising but at the same time productivity is falling, the likely cause of that is an increase in Input prices.

Input Prices are the prices of the raw materials and other goods needed to produce finished goods. If these prices should rise, it becomes more expensive for producers to produce and they will therefore reduce the amount of goods they produce. This reduction in Quantity leads to an increase win prices because according to the Law of Supply and Demand, if supply reduces and demand remains the same then prices must increase till a new equilibrium is reached.

For example, imagine a hypothetical Economy of Steel Makers. If the price of Iron changed from $5 to $10, producers who were producing 20 units of Steel will see their costs double and react by producing only 10 units of Steel to maintain cost margins thereby dropping Productivity.

The 20 units of Steel used to be sold in the market at $20 but now that the supply has dropped to 10 units, the price doubles to $40 to cater for this reduction in Quantity.

A manufacturer reports the following information below for its first three years in operation.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

e. $111,000

Explanation:

Absorption costing income for year 3 = Income under variable costing - {Beginning inventory (units) * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit} + {Ending inventory (units) * Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit}

Absorption costing income for year 3  = 115,000 - (500*8) + (0*8)

= 115,000 - 4,000 + 0

= $111,000

Assume that consumers in a nation reduce their marginal propensity to save from 0.25 to 0.2 though their personal incomes initia
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Since the multiplier is now higher than before, this change in MPS will therefore make the real gross domestic product (GDP) to increase.

Explanation:

Old marginal propensity to save = 0.25

Old marginal propensity to consume = 1 - 0.25 = 0.75

Old multiplier = 1 / Old marginal propensity to save = 1 / 0.25 = 4

New marginal propensity to save = 0.20

New marginal propensity to consume = 1 - 0.20 = 0.80

New multiplier = 1 / New marginal propensity to save = 1 / 0.20 = 5

Change in multiplier = New multiplier - Old multiplier = 5 - 4 = 1

Therefore, the decrease in marginal propensity to save (MPS) will increase marginal propensity to consume (MPC) form 0.75 to 0.80 and the multiplier from 4 to 5.

Since the multiplier is now higher than before, this change in MPS will therefore make the real gross domestic product (GDP) to increase.

xz_007 [3.2K]

The question is incomplete:

Beau works for a small pest-control company that has a total of five employees. From his point of view, the primary disadvantage of a small business is the:

-complicated management structure.

-risk of failure.

-limited ability to raise capital.

-personal relationship with his employer.

-limited potential for him to advance

Answer:

Limited ability to raise capital.

Explanation:

The answer is that from his point of view, the primary disadvantage of a small business is the limited ability to raise capital because small businesses tend to have few resources and a small participation in the market and these affect their ability to get capital and their growth potential.

The other options are not right because as small businesses have few employees, they have simple structures, the risk of failure can be high or low as in a bigger company and a personal relationship with his employer is not a disadvantage. Also, a small business can offer opportunities to advance.

Hettrick International Corporation's only product sells for $120.00 per unit and its variable expense is $52.80. The company's m
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Number of units to be sold= 6,093

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $120

Unitary variable cost= $52.8

Fixed cost= $396,480

Desired profit= $13,000

<u>To calculate the number of units to obtain the desired profit, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (396,480 + 13,000) / (120 - 52.8)

Break-even point in units= 6,093.4 = 6,093
