Explanation:
Let’s explore one by one as proposed:
An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.
The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.
American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).
Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.
U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.
<span>A situation in which quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied best describes shortage. Shortage is when any product or service lacks the means to provide or satisfy its demand. A shortage in the product or service usually results to a price increase. On the other hand, a surplus results to a price decrease.</span>
Answer:

Answer:
The amount to be reported as the cost of the land is $101,000
Explanation:
Given information
Paid cash - $90,000
Cost of property $7,600
Salvaged materials - $1,700
Attorney's fee for work concerning the land purchase - $1,100
Real estate broker's fee - $4,000
Architect's fee - $7,800
Put in driveways and a parking lot - $14,000
For computing the amount of the cost of the land, the Architect's fee and Put in driveways and a parking lot is not considered as it is not related to the land expenses. The computation is shown below
= Cash amount + Cost of property - Salvaged materials + Attorney's fee + Real estate broker's fee
= $90,000 + $7,600 - $1,700 + $1,100 + $4,000
= $101,000
Thus, the amount to be reported as the cost of the land is $101,000
Answer:
Explanation:
Before passing the journal entry, first, we have to compute the total supplies consumed. The formula to compute the total supplies consumed is shown below:
= Beginning balance of supplies + Purchase of supplies - ending balance if supplies
= $450+ $3,400 - $900
= $2,950
Now the journal entry would be
Supplies expense A/c Dr $2,950
To Supplies A/c $2,950
(Being supplies consumed recorded)
