Explanation:

1. Macroeconomics is best defined as the study of the overall operation of the national and global economy.

Macroeconomics can be defined as the study of behaviors, performance and factors that affect the entire economy. Hence, it focuses on aggregate phenomena such as price level, economic growth, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), inflation, unemployment and national income levels with respect to the central bank, demand or supply shocks, government policies, aggregate spending and savings.

2. The opportunity cost of going to the beach is the "B" grade she received on the exam.

In Economics, opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

Thus, the value of the opportunities lost (scoring an "A" grade) by going to the beach is the opportunity cost of her choice.

3. When two variables have an inverse relationship, then the slope of the graph is negative.

An inverse relationship can be defined as a relationship between two variables, in which an increase in the value of one variable leads to a decrease in the value of the other variable i.e as the value of one variable becomes large, the value of the other variable becomes small.

4. When two variables have a direct relationship, then the slope of the graph is positive.

A positive relationship or correlation can be defined as the relationship between two variables in which there exist a direct relationship between them i.e as one variable increases, the other increases and vice-versa.

5. The production possibilities curve graphically illustrates the concept of scarcity.

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;

1. Technology is fixed.

2. Resources are fixed.

6. A production possibilities curve that is concave or bowed out from the origin represents increasing opportunity cost.

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is depicted graphically as an arc, by representing one good on the y-axis and the other on the x-axis.

An accrediting agency’s published rules, which serve as the basis for comparative assessment during the review or survey process

valentinak56 [21]

For a health profession, the term "accreditation standard" refers to a standard used to determine whether a program of study and the educational institution that offers it equips graduates with the knowledge, abilities, and professional qualities required to practice their profession in Australia.

<h3>What do the accreditation standards serve?</h3>

Higher education accreditation is a collaborative process based on peer and self-evaluation. Its goal is to raise academic standards and public accountability. This ongoing quality control process is often carried out every five to ten years.

A school, postsecondary institution, or program offering is accredited when it has received initial and ongoing confirmation that it satisfies the requirements set by a nationally recognized accrediting agency for membership in the association.

Anner Manufacturing is developing an activity-based costing system to improve overhead cost allocation. One of the first steps i

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

When you collect all the costs related to performing a particular activity (e.g. producing a product), you have created an activity cost pool. This helps to get an accurate estimate of the cost of that activity or task and is mostly applied in activity-based costing system. Different activities may require different cost pools.

The activities below are thus classified accordingly:

1. Labelling and Packaging - Batch Cost Pool

2. Plant Security - Facility Level Cost Pool

3. Sales Commission - Product Cost Pool. (This is incurred in selling the product and so must be pre-built into the price of the product.

4. Supplies - Unit Level Cost Pool (Supplies are incidental items that are expected to be consumed in the near future. Examples are paper clips that you use in the daily workings of the business. Supplies are differ from Materials which refer to the raw stock from which finished goods are made. Examples of material are raw materials, components, sub-components, and production supplies. Materials would go under Product Cost Pool.

Cheers!

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gro

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule, Since her ordinary income is $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

= 14,382.50 + 4,320

= $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

= $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50

If the Fed increases the discount rate, which of the following accurately describes the sequence of events that will follow in t

AnnZ [28]

Answer: A. Reserves ↓: Excess reserves ↓; Loans ↓; Deposits ↓; Money supply ↓

Explanation:

The discount rate is the rate at which the Fed lends money to banks and other depository type institutions. Normally banks have a reserve requirement that the Fed requires of them which states how much they are to leave with the Fed as a reserve. Banks tend to fall short of this reserve sometimes and so can borrow from the Fed to balance it off.

If the Fed increase the rate at which these banks can borrow, they will not want to do so thus leaving their Reserves at the Fed lower than it should be. They will then use their excess reserves which is money kept in reserve more than the Fed requires, to balance off their reserve at the Fed.

As a result of this reduction in their Excess reserve, they will have less money to give out as loans. With less loans being made, people will not have as much money to deposit after taking the loans. Money supply will then fall as a whole.
