Answer:
These statements are true:
A) The Federal Reserve does not set the Federal funds rate, but it influences it through the use of open market operations:
For example, at the very moment the Fed funds rate is 1.75%. If the Fed wanted to raise it to 2%, it would have to do so through the use of open market operations (in this case, because it wants to raise the rate, it would have to sell securities in order to reduce the money supply).
C) The Federal Reserve sets the target for the Federal funds rate, and then uses the reserve ratio to push banks toward that target.
Reserve requirements are perhaps the most powerful, and least often used, monetary policy tool that the Fed has at its disposal. It is very powerful because it directly increases or decreases the money supply.
For example, if the Fed wants to increase the fed funds rate, it can raise the reserve ratio so that banks keep more money in reserves, have less money to loan, and in consequence, create less money, causing the money supply to shrink and the fed funds rate to rise accordingly.
D) The Federal Reserve sets the Federal funds rate.
Correct. More specifically, the Federal Open Market Committee, which meets eight times a year to set the target for the fed funds rate.
Answer:
Products Selling price Unit variable cost
$ $
Junior 50 15
Adult 75 25
Expert <u>110 </u> <u> 60</u>
Total <u> 235 </u> <u> 100</u>
The sales price per composite unit = $235
The contribution margin per composite unit
= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost
= $235 - $100
= $135
Break-even point in units
= <u>Fixed cost</u>
Contribution per unit
= <u>$114,750</u>
$135
= 850 units
Break-even point in dollars
= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price
= 850 units x $235
= $199,750
Income Statement
$
Total contribution ($135 x 850 units) 114,750
Less: Fixed cost <u>114,750</u>
Net profit <u> 0</u>
Explanation:
Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.
Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.
Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.
Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.
Answer:
Product 1 - $36
Product 2 - $ 96
Product 3 - $66
Explanation:
The accounting standard for Inventory under IFRS IAS 2 requires that inventory be recognized at cost which includes all the cost incurred to bring the item of inventory to a state or place where the item of inventory becomes available for sale.
These costs includes cost of purchase, freight, Insurance cost during transit etc.
Subsequently, inventory is to be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
The NRV is the Selling price less the cost to sell.
Given
Product 1 Product 2 Product 3
Cost $36 $ 106 $ 66
Selling price $ 88 $ 168 $ 118
Costs to sell $ 9 $ 72 $ 26
NRV $ 79 $ 96 $ 92
Answer:
people care more about their own surplus than they do about total surplus.
Explanation:
Price control can either be a price ceiling or a price floor.
A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service. It is usually set below equilibrium price.
Price ceiling increase consumer surplus and reduce producer surplus.
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be sold. It is usually set above equilibrium price.
Price floor increases producer surplus and reduces consumer surplus.
Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.
