True.The financial crisis hastened the ongoing process in which the financial services industry was transforming from having a few large firms to many small firms.
Explanation:
The financial crisis broke the back of many big firms especially working the stock market and exchange. Financing services were being handled by big behemoths during the time that harbored a lot of space in the industry and did not allow smaller firms to take over the tasks and succeed in their stead.
The crisis made it impossible for their business models to sustain and no one could afford a hefty sum for financial services so smaller companies with less operational costs took their place.
Answer:
Allocative inefficiency.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
In Economics, there are four (4) main factors of production and these are;
I. Land.
II. Labor (working).
III. Capital resources.
IV. Entrepreneurship.
When these aforementioned factors of production are combined effectively and efficiently, they can be used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
Basically, there are two (2) types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of consumers, these includes;
1. Technical (productive) inefficiency: it occurs when a company or business firm produce goods and services that consumers do not want. This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.
2. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when a company or business firm do not maximise output from the given inputs such as raw materials, capital, etc. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.
Hence, when a business do not maximise output from the given inputs, it is referred to as an allocative inefficiency.
<em>In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.</em>
Answer:
assets reduced by $59,000
Explanation:
To solve the problem we use the accounting formula.
Asset= Total liabilities + owner's equity
Since we are dealing with change in asset, liability, and equity
Change in asset = change in liability + change in owner's equity
Change in asset= -69,000 + 10,000
Change in asset= - 59,000
This implies that the company's assets reduced by $59,000

Answer:
The correct answer is A. A process cost accounting system is appropriate for similar products that are continuously mass produced.
Explanation:
The system of costs by processes is that by which the production costs are charged to the processes, to the accumulated systems of the production costs, by department or by cost center.
This cost system is ideal for companies such as assembly departments. Even in the financial institution where I worked, the process cost system was also used as a method of calculation and cost allocation.
