Why do economists generally favor deregulation of most industries?

1 answer:

8 0

Sorry this description is a bit confusing but i couldn't really think of a way to phrase it properly :)

most economists believe that deregulation has the potential to be helpful because the fact that things aren't regulated by the government increases competition in people selling the same wares, which normally ends up lowering the price of that specific good and/or improving the quality of the good drastically (which means more people will be buying, it whatever it may be, which is good for the economy)

On what grounds does smith extol the division of labor? can you think of any drawbacks that might result from such a form of lab

aleksandrvk [35]

The quote captures Smith's description of the complexity and scope of the division of labor, and its ability to increase the standard of living in a given society. Smith believes that the propensity to truck, barter and exchange is part of human nature, and it is precisely this capacity that best organizes the economic system in large scale societies. The cooperation of the many thousands, inspired by each person's self interest, is what allows for the economic system to flourish, spreading opulence and raising the overall quality of life. Since observations on the progress inspired by the division of labor begin the book, Smith uses the contemplation of simple items (pins, for instance) as a starting point for his theorizing on the organization of economics in general.

Hache Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing departmen

Greeley [361]

Answer:

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production

Materials

Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800

Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 50%) = 925

Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials = 6,725

Conversion

Units transferred to the next department (5,800 × 100%) = 5,800

Units in ending Work In process (1,850 × 20%) = 370

Total Equivalent Units of Production for Conversion Costs = 6,170

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent units of Production

Materials

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials

= ($ 8,700 + $ 91,000) ÷ 6,725

= $14.825

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Material Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units of Production for Materials

= ($ 8,500 + $ 126,300) ÷ 6,170

= $21.848

Calculation of cost of ending work in process inventory

Materials ( 925 × $14.825) = $13,713.12

Conversion Cost ( 370 × $21.848) = $8,083.76

Total = $21,796.88

Thus,

The cost of ending work in process inventory in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to: d) $21,797.
