Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

A business would like to invest in a new product, but they are short on extra
pickupchik [31]

Given the scenario described herein, one good solution for the business to invest in a new product when it is short on cash is <u>B. Liquidate some inventory to increase cash flow.</u>

<h3>What is Cash?</h3>

In accounting, cash includes bills, coins, bank balances, money orders, and checks. Cash is the first item in most balance sheets, especially if the company is reporting liquidity.  Cash happens to be the most liquid of all assets. Cash also includes cash equivalents, which are assets readily converted into cash.

Thus, the company does not need to raise prices, fire employees, or cut wages to raise cash.  It can liquidate some inventory at lower prices if necessary.

In a small, closed economy, national income (GDP) is $ 400.00 million for the current quarter. Individuals have spent $ 150.00 m
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter is<em> $100,000,000.00</em>

Explanation:

<em>However, in closed economies what it simply means is that there are no exports and imports.</em>

<em />

Investment (I) = business investment plus residential investment plus inventory investment. Government Purchases (G) = general government consumption plus general government investment. Net Exports (NE) = exports minus imports plus net tourism.

∴ to calculate the amount of money spent on this closed economy, I will use the <em>Expenditure Approach formula</em> for GDP and make Investment the subject of the formula which is

GDP formula is used which states that total output/GDP (Y) is equal to Consumption (C) + Investment (I) + Government Spending (G) + Net exports (NX). Where net exports is exports (X) minus imports (M): NX = X – M.

Where:

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M)

Where:

GDP (Y) = $400,000,000.00

C = $150,000,000.00

I = 0

G = $150,000,000.00

(X-M) = 0

GDP (Y) = C + I + G + (X-M) =

$400,000,000.00 = $150,000,000.00 + (I) + 150,000,000.00 + (X-M)

Making (I) the subject of the Formula

GDP- C -G = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 - $150,000,000.00 = I

∴ $400,000,000.00 - $300,000,000.00

=<em> $100,000,000.00</em>

<em></em>

The amount spent in this economy in the said quarter

=<em> $100,000,000.00.</em>

<em></em>

<em>Note: </em><em>I did not add the Tax because I used the Expenditure approach method which does not include the tax values while the Income Approach method does include it but excludes Export and Import values.</em>

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

an Adjustable-rate Loan (sometimes called an ARM).

Explanation:

A variable-rate mortgage, adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM), or tracker mortgage is a home mortgage with the rate of interest on the bond changed regularly depending on a measure that represents the financing expense to the applicant on the financial markets.

The loan can be given at the regular variable rate / base rate of the lender. There may be a direct and legally defined link to the underlying index, but where the lender does not provide any specific link to the underlying market or index the rate may be changed at the discretion of the lender.
