Ex-post (in an accounting sense), Savings ALWAYS equals Investment. However, ex-ante, DESIRED savings may very well be different from DESIRED investment. It is the REAL INTEREST RATE which adjusts to make desired savings equal to desired investment.
Explanation:
- In the basic, closed economy model, Savings=Investment. The reason for this is because, in this model, growing capital stock is not the only item taken into account in Investment. The other item is inventory accumulation.
- Savings is whatever is left over after income is spent on consumption of goods and services, investment is what is spent on goods and services that are not 'consumed', but are durable.
- Equilibrium in the goods market can be expressed in two equivalent ways: (1) desired national saving is equal to desired investment; AS = AD.
- The real interest rate is the rate of interest an investor, saver or lender receives (or expects to receive) after allowing for inflation. It can be described more formally by the Fisher equation, which states that the real interest rate is approximately the nominal interest rate minus the inflation rate.

Answer:
Franchising
Explanation:
Franchising is a strategy that companies use to expand their business in which one party called the franchisee pays the other party the franchisor a specific amount of money to have access to the company's processes, knowledge and brand to sell the product or service in a specific place using the name of the company. This would be the best suited strategy for this service because the company can expand without having to get a big amount of capital using the resources of other people and this can allow to grow faster and the franchisee can have a better knowledge of the specific market.
Answer:
a) Valuation of Ending Inventory
The total cost of consignment = $28980
Cost of Freezers= 60 freezers *$470= $28200
Shipment Costs $ 780
Per unit Cost of Consignment= $28980 / 60= $ 483
The inventory value of the units unsold in the hands of the consignee
= (60 units - 30 units )* 483= $ 14490
b) Profit for the Consignor
Sales 30 units at $800 $24000
<u>CGS 30 units at 483 14490
</u>
<u>Gross Profit 9510
</u>
Less
Advertising $200
Total installation costs $350
<u>Commision 6% of 24000= $ 1440 1990
</u>
<u>Net Profit $7520
</u>

<u>c) Remittance was made of $7520
