Answer:

premium liability (coupon oustanding) $ 1,500

Explanation:

We will recognize a liablity based on expected coupon redemption of 10%:

Sold 1,000,000 deluxe snack = 1,000,000 coupon

from this we expect 10% will be redeem: 1,000,000 x 10% = 100,000

Then, calculate the cost that this coupon will generate:

Thre will be 100,000 redeem coupons which, every 10 is traded for a 1.50 silver chip clip:

100,000 / 10 x $ 1.50 = $ 15,000

For the sales of we have a premium liablity of 15,000

premium expense    15,000

          premium liaiblity            15,000

<u>We also purchase this silver chip clip:</u>

Premium Inventory 15,000

                Cash                   15,000

During the year, we adjust for the chips clips distributed:

9,000 x $ 1.50 = 13,500

This decreases both, the liablity and the premium inventory.

Premium Liability        13,500 debit

            Premium Inventory       13,500 credit

Adjusted year-end balance:

15,000 - 13,500 = 1,500

Other things the same, if prices fell when firms and workers were expecting them to rise, then a. employment and production woul
Trava [24]

Answer:

d. employment and production would fall.

Explanation:

Economic agents have expectations about the parameters of an economy, such as price, inflation, unemployment rate, etc. If the price falls while economic agents expect the opposite, in the short run production and employment tend to increase. This is because investment decisions had already been made. However, in the medium and long term, economic agents realize that price expectations have not been confirmed and market parameters adjust. Thus, in the face of falling prices, there will be less demand. With lower demand, there will be a decrease in production and thus the employment rate decreases.

When the economy is operating at point C, the Federal Reserve may decrease the discount rate to
brilliants [131]

Answer:

D ; increase growth

Explanation:

The discount rate is one of the tools that the Federal Reserve uses to direct monetary policy.  Banks are subject to minimum reserves requirements. If a bank falls below this minimum, it can borrow from the banks with a surplus,  or borrow from the federal reserve. If it borrows from the Fed, the interest rate that applies is the discount rate. The discount rate is always higher than the fed fund rate; hence, banks use it as a last resort.

The discount rate and the fed rate have similar effects on the economy.  The Fed uses the discount rate to regulate the money supply in the country. When the growth in slow, the fed will reduce the discount rate.  A low discount rate means the cost of borrowing money goes down. The impact is that individuals and businesses will afford to borrow money for consumption and investment.

Increased levels of investments and consumption will mean a higher GDP, which is growth.
