Answer:

Water freight is a very important method of transportation and is the second cheapest (railroad is the cheapest). Huge volumes can be shipped at relatively low prices which is extremely important for raw materials and commodities.

The problem with water freight is that it is relatively slow though. Another problem that water freight faces is that it is cheap for medium and long distances, but uneconomical for short ones.

A great impediment for the technological progress of water freight is that most ports are obsolete and have not been updated in many years. Updating them is very expensive and many of them are public ports which doesn't help either.

Most new carrier ships (which are very high tech) are probably too big to fit into most US ports, so even if a carrier company invests huge amounts of money in them, where will they them? Technological progress must start with the ports, then water carriers should improve.

Another problem is that regulation is very loose in the US, especially regarding maritime ports.

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the ___________ level
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

1.  Actual Price

2.  Misperceptions theory.

Explanation:

In the short run, the quantity of output that firms supply can deviate from the natural level of output if the ACTUAL PRICE level in the economy deviates from the expected price level. Several theories explain how this might happen.

For example, the MISPERCEPTIONS THEORY asserts that output prices adjust more quickly to changes in the price level than wages do, in part because of long-term wage contracts. Suppose a firm signs a contract agreeing to pay its workers $15 per hour for the next year, based on an expected price level of 100 Year.

The above explanations is the reason why the aggregate supply curve slopes upward in the short run

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

$24,800

Explanation:

Indirect method reconciles the Net Income to Operating Cash flow by adjusting for non -cash items previously included in net income and changes in working capital.

Cash flow from Operating Activities

Net income                                                     $22,000

Add Depreciation Expense                            $10,800

Less gain on the sale of equipment was         ($500)

Decrease in Inventory                                      $7,800

Decrease in Accounts Payable                     ($8,400)

Increase in Accounts Receivable                 ($6,900)

net cash provided operating activities        $24,800                                                        

Therefore

The net cash provided (used) by operating activities is $24,800
