Answer: A target price for farm crops is an example of price floor because it’s fixed ahead of harvests with the interest of farmers in mind.
Explanation: A quick definition of both concepts would be of help. A price floor is usually fixed by government legislation and it ensures that the price of a commodity or service does not fall below a certain minimum. In the case of farm crops, a floor price makes sure that the farmers are guaranteed a level of profit in case there is poor harvest for any reason whatsoever. The price floor must be fixed above the equilibrium price for this to be effective.
A target price is an expectation of the future price of commodities or services, and hence prices are fixed ahead of the harvest in the case of farm crops. This is so because as explained earlier, future conditions might change and become unfavorable, therefore making the current market price unprofitable for farmers. If for example, a sack of potatoes currently sells for $30, the government may fix the price floor ahead of the harvest season at $45 per sack. This implies that after harvesting farmers can still sell at $30. However if the harvest turns out to be bad perhaps due to natural disasters, pests or fungal attacks, etc, then the farmers can go ahead and sell at $45 and possibly higher. No farmer is allowed to sell below $45 (since that is the ‘floor’). That way, farmers would still have some profit guaranteed and would be encouraged to remain in the farming business.
Answer:
When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.
Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.
If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.
Answer:
$100, $700, $800
Explanation:
Calley Journal entries would include:
Debiting $100 to the cash account
Debit the $700 to the receivables account
Credit $800 to the revenue account
This follows the double entry rule that a credit in one account must correspond to at least one debit in another account.
We debit all asset accounts(receivables,cash) when increased and credit all liabilities account when increased. We credit all income account(revenue) when increased and debit all expenses account when increased.
The current ratio will remain the same as 1 only
The acid-test ratio will decrease.
- The current ratio will stay the same because there won't be a change in current liabilities, and the change in current assets won't have any net consequences because the asset will grow due to an increase in inventory, but it will also decrease by the same amount due to a decrease in cash, so the current ratio will stay the same.
- The acid-test ratio will decline since the numerator will shrink owing to a cash shortage, and the growth in inventory won't be taken into account because current assets aren't included in this ratio.
