serious [3.7K]3 years ago

<span> <span>It is believed that the tradition of celebrating April fools' day began approximately in the mid sixteenth century when France (upon the directive of Pope Gregory XIII) abandoned the Julian calendar in favor of the Gregorian calendar. Use of this new calendar meant that the new year would now begin on the first day of January as opposed to the first day of April. Those who did not catch this news in time went on celebrating the beginning of the new year on April 1st and as such they were ridiculed  and made the laughing stock on this account. These people would henceforth be referred to as 'April fools'.</span></span>

. How does analyzing fixed and variable costs help you to set a sale price that will generate profit? 2. How is profit affected
ELEN [110]

Answer:

1. Apart from helping to know the average cost of a product, analyzing fixed and variable cost will help to derive the break even point.

2. Profit will go down

Explanation:

1. The size of the selling price and the variable cost determine contribution per unit of a product. Contribution per unit is Price minus variable cost. This shows the  contribution of sales revenue towards covering the fixed cost of a product.

2. Relevant range is the estimated or budgeted activity level which defines a business volume of production or operation, it is both maximum and minimum threshold within which the entity must operate to expect certain level of cost and revenue.

Sometimes fixed costs are fixed within a relevant range of activities and outside such range, fixed cost may become variable, which will all things being equal impact negatively on the price.

Also, within relevant range volume discount may be achieved and outside such range, this may be forfeited which, will also reduce profit all things being equal.

In a certain year, the aggregate amount demanded at the existing price level consists of $100 billion of consumption, $40 billio
valkas [14]

Answer:

The answer is: decrease government spending or increase tax rates.

Explanation:

Nominal GDP is currently $170 billions (= $100 billions + $40 billions + $20 billions + $10 billions).

Since full employment GDP = $120 billions, the nominal GDP is much higher ($170 billions > $120 billions). So the government must try to cool the economy and the two main ways it can do it is by reducing government spending or by raising taxes which will lower private consumption.

Marrrta [24]

The real money demand is equal to $2,60,000

Money demand/ P = 1000+0.2Y -1000i

Money demand/200= 1000+0.2(2000)-1000(0.1)= 1000+400-100

Money demand  /200 = 1300

Money demand  = $1300*200

= $2,60,000
