Answer:
The operating income for the year is $97,000
Explanation:
For computing the operating income, first, we have to calculate the cost of goods sold. The formula to compute the cost of good sold is shown below:
= Beginning merchandise inventory + Purchases during the year - Ending merchandise inventory
= $33,200 + $92,000 - $35,000
= $90,200
Now, the operating income would be
= Sales - the cost of good sold - selling and administrative expenses
= $262,900 - $90,200 - $75,700
= $97,000

The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
In a perfectly competitive market, it is assumed that the buyers and sellers have perfect information and take their economic decisions accordingly. But in reality, buyers and sellers do not have perfect information.
Information comes at a cost, which can sometimes be high. The rational decisions of the consumers without full information can lead to irrational outcomes.
If the cost of gathering information is less than or equal to the benefit earned from the information, the consumers will gather information and make fully informed decisions.
But if the cost is higher than the benefits, the consumers will not gather information and make a less informed decision.

The answer is: C) There will be an increase in wealth, creating a shift to the right in the demand curve for bonds in France. France can therefore expect permanent lower interest rates in the future.
Explanation:
When the residents of a nation decide to permanently increase their savings, that affects the economy in several ways. At first, it will lower the total demand for products and services (to be able to save money you must spend less) and increase the quantity demanded for bonds. This increase will lower the price (in this case interest rate) of bonds.
When the interest rates of bonds is lower, it means the cost of borrowing money for the general population will also lower. The interest rate commercial banks charge their clients always follow the interest rate of bonds. That will lead to greater investment and spending in the economy, and future economic growth.
