Answer:

b) be more inelastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply. In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.

Aggregate supply (AS) refers to the total quantity of output (goods and services) that firms are willing to produce and sell at a given price in an economy at a particular period of time.

An aggregate supply curve gives the relationship between the aggregate price level for goods or services and the quantity of aggregate output supplied in an economy at a specific period of time.

In the short run or in shorter time periods supply curves tend to be more inelastic than supply curves that apply to longer periods of time.

This ultimately implies that, a rightward shift in the aggregate supply (AS) curve causes output to increase and result in a price fall (lower price), in the short run.

However, in the long-run or in longer time periods, supply curves tend to be fairly elastic than supply curves that apply to shorter periods of time.

Compute the Cost of Goods Sold for 2016 using the following information:Direct Materials, Jan. 1, 2016 $40,000Work-in-Process, D

guapka [62]

Answer:

Cost of Goods Sold = $234,000

Option B is correct ($234,000)

Explanation:

First we will calculate total direct material used in production:

Total Direct material=Starting Direct Material+ Purchases of Direct Material+ Ending Direct material

Total Direct material=$40,000+$75,000-$43,000

Total Direct material=$72,000

Calculating Cost of goods Manufactured:

Cost of goods Manufactured=Total Direct material+Direct labor+ Manufacturing Overhead+Beginning WIP inventory-Ending WIP inventory

Cost of goods Manufactured=$72,000+$48,500+$72,500+$87,000-$69,000

Cost of goods Manufactured=$211,000

Cost of Goods Sold = Cost of goods Manufactured+ Starting Finished Goods-Ending Finished Goods

Cost of Goods Sold = $211,000+$128,000-$105,000

Cost of Goods Sold = $234,000

Option B is correct ($234,000)

4. Both the concentration and Herfindahl indices computed by the U.S. Bureau of Census tends to overstate the actual level. In a

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The use of data aggregation leads to overstatement of the concentration and Herfindahl indices

while the use of National/state data leads to understatement of the degree of concentration in local markets.

Explanation:

The ratio of concentration and Herfindahl indices computed are mainly made up of foreign players while the contributions of small local unorganized players are not considered, which leads to the increase in the value of indices and ratios been used, ( i.e. The use of data aggregation ) . hence the overstatement of the actual level.

The understatement of the degree of concentration in local markets happens because of the use of national and state data while computing the concentration in the local markets like gasoline and this is mainly caused by the presence of fewer industries in the market. The state and national data does not reflect the true concentration in the local market hence the degree of concentration is understated at the local level.

The MM theory with taxes implies that firms should issue maximum debt.There is a difference between theory and practice because:

mylen [45]

Answer:

There is a difference between theory and practice because the theory states with taxes implies that firms should issue maximum debt but in practice, this does not occur because it will result in bankruptcy if firms are issuing maximum debt. There should be a balance between how much debt is acquired and how much equity is taken. Therefore bankruptcy becomes a cause of concern if maximum debt is issued.
