Answer: Increases the price level by 5 percent
Explanation:
Monetary Neutrality is a theory in Economics that posits that when there is a change in money supply in an economy, the only variables affected are the nominal ones like price level and wages and Real variables like GDP and employment are not affected.
It holds that when there is an increase in money supply, there is an equivalent increase in Price level as well because the value of money has fallen by the rate of the monetary increase. The Price level rising at the same rate is to compensate.
A 5 percent increase in the money supply will therefore increase the price level by 5 percent.
Answer:
Gain on disposal = $7600
Explanation:
As the machine is sold on 1 April 2024, we first need to update the depreciation expense and charge the depreciation to the date. The depreciation has been charged till 1 December 2023. So, we need to charge the depreciation for three more months.
The formula for depreciation expense under straight line method is,
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated useful life
Depreciation expense per year = (24000 - 0) / 5
Depreciation expense per year = $4800 per year
Depreciation expense for three months = 4800 * 3/12 = $1200
Accumulated depreciation 1 April 2024 = 14400 + 1200 = $15600
To calculate the gain or loss on disposal, we first need to determine the net book value of asset and deduct it from the cash received on disposal.
NBV = Cost - Accumulated depreciation
NBV = 24000 - 15600
NBV = $8400
Gain on disposal = 16000 - 8400
Gain on disposal = $7600
Answer:
Comparative advertisements need legal support for their claims and must not misrepresent competing products/brands
Explanation:
Comparative advertisement is also called advertising war. A competitor is named in the advertisement and reasons are given why the competitor's product is inferior to the one being advertised.
In this type of advertisement to prevent adverse legal action the company needs to carry out extensive research to provide legal backing for their claims.
Firms must also not misrepresent the competitor's product as this can lead to legal action.
Total profit= 1200 plus 2300 plus 1800
average profit = total profit divided by 3
average accounting return= average profit divided by initial investment= 5.52 percent
thats one way
other way is to take average investment = (intial investment plus scrap value) divided by 2
Answer: C.$221.86
Explanation:
Contribution Margin is the difference between the sales price and the variable costs.
Best case scenario of Sales would mean it is the higher amount.
Best case scenario of costs would mean the lower amount.
Best case Sales
= 349 * ( 1 + 3%)
= $359.47
Best Case Variable Cost
= 139 * ( 1 - 1%)
= $137.61
Best Case Contribution Margin
= Best case Sales - Best Case Variable Cost
= 359.47 - 137.61
= $221.86
