Answer:
A weaker dollar benefits EXPORTERS and hurts IMPORTERS.
Explanation:
A weaker dollar means that the dollar depreciated against foreign currencies, meaning that you need more dollars to purchase foreign currencies. This results in higher prices for imported goods. On the other hand, a weaker dollar helps exporters because it lowers the price of US products sold to foreign countries. As exports grow and imports decrease, the dollar starts to appreciate again.

Answer:
The total amount of the cash dividend is $7,125
Explanation:
The Dividend is declared to pay all the outstanding shares in the market. Sometime the company has some treasury shares in the stocks which is deducted from the total issued shares to find the outstanding shares. In this case, the issued shares and the outstanding numbers of shares are different.
Treasury shares are those shares that are bought back by the company that issued the shares.
Use the following formula to calculate the cash dividend
Cash Dividend = Numbers of outstanding shares x Dividend rate
Where
Numbers of outstanding shares = 9,500 shares
Dividend rate = $0.75 per share
Placing values in the formula
Cash Dividend = 9,500 x $0.75 per share
Cash Dividend = $7,125
Answer:
TFC : Horizontal Line parallel to X axis
TVC : Upward sloping inverse S shape curve from origin
TC : Upward sloping increase S shape curve, with Y axis intercept = TFC
Explanation:
Total Fixed cost [TFC] is the total production expenditure, done on fixed factors of production (Eg - on machine, building etc). It is incurred even at zero level of output, stays same (constant) irrespective of output level. So, it's curve is a constant horizontal line.
Total Variable Cost [TVC] is the total production expenditure, done on variable factors of production (Eg - on raw material). It is zero at zero level of output, directly related to level of output thereafter. It first increases at a decreasing rate, then increases at an increasing rate. So, it's curve is inverse S upward sloping curve from origin.
Total Cost [TC] is the total cost incurred on all factors of production (fixed & variable). It is sum of TVC & TFC. As TFC is constant at all levels of output, TC changes due to change in TVC. So, TC is also directly related to output level, first increases at increasing rate & then at decreasing rate. Hence, it is also a inverse S upward sloping curve. But, it also includes constant TFC. So, the curve has intercept on Y axis = TFC (it doesn't start from origin).
Answer:
The correct answer is option c.
Explanation:
Forlornistan is experiencing an economic downturn, the GDP has steadily declined, the employment rate is very low and the CPI is falling.
All these characteristics show that the economy is going through economic depression.
Depression refers to the situation in which an economy suffers a downturn in economic activities. It involves decrease in output level, price and employment rate.
