Answer:

b. supply curve for diamond rings will shift right, which will create a surplus at the current price. Price will decrease, which will increase quantity demanded and decrease quantity supplied. The new market equilibrium will be at a lower price and higher quantity

High-quality diamonds are an input used in the production of diamond rings. If the supply of high quality diamonds increases, it implies that the production of diamond rings would increase. As a result of the increased production, the supply curve would shift to the right. This would lead to an excess of supply over demand known as a surplus. This would cause equilibrium price to fall and quantity to rise.

Suppose all the producers sell toasters through Wal-Mart, and WalMart lets producers choose from 2 options. With Option A, a pro

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

see explaination

Explanation:

1. A low-quality producer will not provide any warranty, because he knows there will be more warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

Example:

Option B:

Toaster sell 100

Price $10

Sales = $1000

Profit = $100 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

Toaster sell 35 (as 5 times high price).

Price $49

Sales = $1725

Warranty Expense (let's say, due to multiple times claims) = $1500

Profit = -$90 (let's say it costs him $9 to make it).

2. A high-quality producer will provide any warranty because he knows there will be very very few warranty claims.

He will choose option B.

3. Yes, the act of offering free warranty will go a long way in conveying a positive signal to customers that the brand is providing quality product & it trusts its product.

For each of the following depreciable assets, determine the missing amount. Abbreviations for depreciation methods are SL for st

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Please check the attached image for the answers

Explanation:

Check the attached image for a clearer image of the table used in answering this question

A.

Cost of asset = c

Useful life = 5

Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life)

= 2 × (1/5) = 0.4 = 40%

Because the depreciation factor is 40%, the remaining book value after depreciation would be 60%.

Note that : Book value in year 1 = Cost of asset - Depreciation expense of year 1

Book value in year in subsequent years = previous book value - that year's depreciation expense

The book value in year 2: 0.6c x $51,000

Solve for c = 51,000 / 0.6 = 85,000

So, the book value in year 2 is $85,000

The book value in year 1 which is also the cost of the asset can be found using this equation : (2 / 5 ) x c = $85,000

Solve for c = $85,000 × (5/2) = $212500

The cost of the asset is $212,500

For asset b

Sum of the year Depreciation expense = (number of useful life remaining / sum of useful years) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

number of useful life remaining at year 2 = 7

Sum of useful life = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36

The equation for year 2 depreciation : (7/36) × ($40,000 - Salvage value) = $7,000

0.194444 × ($40,000 - Salvage value) = $7,000

Make salvage value the subject of the formula and solve

Salvage value = $4,000

For asset c,

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

Inputting the values given for asset C into the above equation: ($103,000 - $13,000) ÷ useful life = $9,000

= $90,000 / useful life = $9,000

Solve for useful life, useful life = 10 years

For asset D,

To find the depreciation method used , we have to employ trial and error method. We would try all the depreciation methods available and determine which depreciation method would give us the depreciation value of $23,900

I would start with the straight line depreciation method Deprecation method.

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

= ($268,000-$29,000)/10 = $23,900

From the above calculation, the depreciation method used is the straight line depreciation method.

For asset E,

The 150% declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset

Depreciation factor = 1.5 x (1/useful life)

1.5 x (1/8) = 0.1875

To derive the depreciation expense in year 2, the book value at the beginning of year 2 has to be determined. To determine the year 2 book value, the depreciation expense in year one has to be determined.

Year 1 depreciation expense = 0.1875 x $219,000 = $41,062.50

Year 2 , book value = $219,000 - $41,062.50 = $177,937.50

Depreciation expense in year 2 = 0.1875 x $177,937.50 = $33,363.28

A sudden increase in inflation, ceteris paribus, a. Raises the real income of lenders relative to borrowers. b. Raises the CPI a

Nikitich [7]

Answer: Raises the CPI and reduces real income.

Explanation:

Inflation is a sustained rise in the general price level of the goods and services in an economy during a particular period. It is usually expressed as a percentage. Inflation leads to a reduction in the purchasing power of a country's currency.

Real income reduces because a rise in the price level with nominal income constant reduces the purchasing power of money. People holding real assets are better off than people who are holding cash.

Which management theory was based on understanding each part of a task, selecting the right workers, providing adequate training

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Taylorism

Explanation:

Taylorism, often referred to as Scientific Management, was the first theory of management to focus specifically on analyzing and optimizing workflows. These theories of process optimization helped drive the Fordist shift to mass production which occurred in the early part of the 20th Century. Taylorism can be boiled down to 4 principal points: The method of doing a task should be informed by a scientific investigation of the task , employees should be selected and carefully trained for tasks ,tasks should have detailed instructions and should be subject to supervision and management should evaluate tasks and formulate optimized approaches for the workers to follow .

Some forms of analysis might be done by timing how long it takes a worker to do a task, others by weighing raw materials. Process analysis, for Taylor, had to look at both the minutiae of the process composition and the detail of the physical acts required to complete the process. The elements of process improvement Taylor advocated for were successful in regards to processing materials; changing the way steel was cut and patenting that process. Yet, during his life, Taylor struggled to achieve quite the same success improving the efficiency of workers. Taylorism was first scientifically understanding how the production process worked and then supporting the managers of a workplace to intimately train workers to work at maximum efficiency. This way, the means towards higher returns is paved with a well-managed, harmonious relationship between managers and workers. In theory, this would have been a much more sustainable model for an organization. But despite that promise, people, although genetically similar, are intrinsically unique and complex. Aligning different minds and ushering people to a new way of working (from individual craft, to standardized production), sometimes require more time and effort than bringing in a new piece of technology.
