Answer:
Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent
Explanation:
Logically, the meal with highest utility per Dollar spent would be the priority for me. So here:
Meal 1 = 100 utils / $25 = 4 utils per dollar spent
Meal 2 = 10 utils / $2 = 5 utils per dollar spent
Meal 3 = 50 utils / $5 = 10 utils per dollar spent
As meal 3 has highest utility per dollar spent, it will generate higher value for me. So I will opt meal 3.

If the domestic interest rate in a small open economy with perfect capital mobility is higher than the world interest rate, then ______ would drive the domestic interest rate back to the level of the world interest rate. the government capital inflow capital outflow a decline in domestic saving
Answer: capital inflow
Explanation:
Capital flows is the movement of money for investment purpose, trade or business production, and it includes the flow of capital in corporations in the form of investment capital and capital spending on research development and operations.
On a larger scale, the government directs capital flows from tax into operations and programs and through trade with other countries and currencies. When the domestic interest rate in an open economy which is small with perfect capital mobility is greater than the world interest rate, the domestic interest rate would be driven back to the world interest level by the capital inflow.

Answer: Microsoft responded that
this integration of products is an example of tying, and the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently ruled that tying is a perfectly acceptable and legal business practice.
Explanation: The suit accused Microsoft of illegally protecting its operating-system monopoly and seeking a new monopoly for its own browser, Internet Explorer. The fear was that Microsoft would kill Netscape, monopolize the browser market and use that point of control to dominate the coming age of the web.
Despite the creative editing of video, facts, and emails, Microsoft lost the case. The presiding judge, Thomas Penfield Jackson, ruled that Microsoft violated parts of the Sherman Antitrust Act, which was established in 1890 to outlaw monopolies and cartels.

Arbitragers applying Covered Interest Arbitrage drive the international currency and money markets toward the equilibrium described by: Select one: a. the nominal effective exchange rate index. b. the interest rate parity. c. the purchasing power parity. d. the effective exchange rate index.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": the interest rate parity.
Explanation:
The economic theory of Interest Rate Parity (IRP) states that the difference between interest rates in the two countries is equal to the difference between the forward rate and the spot rate in both countries. This equality does not always exist and allows traders to arbitrate positions to earn riskless returns. This approach is mostly used by Forex traders.
Suppose an economy is initially in a steady state with capital per worker below the Golden Rule level.
If the saving rate increases to a rate consistent with the Golden Rule, then in the transition to the new steady-state consumption per worker will:
A) always exceed the initial level.
B) first fall below then rise above the initial level.
C) first rise above then fall below the initial level.
D) always be lower than the initial level.
Answer:
B) first fall below then rise above the initial level.
Explanation:
'Steady State' & 'Golden Rule' of capital per worker : are concepts of Solow model.
The model defines output (income) per worker as a function of capital per worker, increasing with it at a diminishing rate, & hence the curve is upward sloping swamp shaped. Depreciation is a constant slope straight upward sloping line. Saving is a function of income per worker.
Steady State level is the level of output at which savings (investment) by workers is equal to depreciation of capital stock. Golden rule capital level refers to the saving rate, which maximises steady state level or growth of consumption.If the saving rate increases to a rate consistent with the Golden Rule: the consumption per worker will first fall below the initial level (as savings proportion out of income are more). But, when these savings will be invested back, capital per worker will increase. High capital per worker will imply high output & income per worker. And, then the consumption per worker will rise.

Francie drives into Gage’s Auto Service and asks Hong, a Gage’s employee, to replace a tire on Francie’s car.
After Hong replaces the tire, but before Francie pays for it, any contract between Francie and Gage’s is:
a) executed.
b) executory.
c) void.
d) unenforceable.
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
An executory contract is one in which unperformed obligations remain on both sides, or one where both parties in a contract have continuing obligations to perform. Therefore is a contract that is made by two parties in which the terms in the contract are to be fulfilled at a later date. The contract shows that both sides still have duties to perform before it will become executed.
For example, contracts for the sale of goods in which the goods have not been delivered by the seller and the buyer has not paid, are executory contracts.
Therefore, as we can see from the scenario above, the contract is executory because, although Hong has replaced the tire, Francie is yet to pay, therefore, Francie has not performed her pert in the contract, making it an executory contract.

Answer:
C) Townson's fixed asset turnover ratio has decreased between Year 1 and Year 2.

Fixed assets:
Beginning of year 880,000 820,000
End of year 520,000 880,000
fixed asset turnover (FAT) ratio = net sales / average fixed assets
FAT ratio year 1 = $4,250,000 / [($820,000 + $880,000) / 2] = 5
FAT ratio year 2 = $3,645,000 / [($880,000 + $520,000) / 2] = 5.2

When there is a surplus of snowboards, the A. supply of snowboards is greater than the demand for snowboards. B. quantity of snowboards demanded is greater than the quantity of snowboards supplied. C. demand for snowboards is greater than the supply of snowboards. D. quantity of snowboards supplied is greater than the quantity of snowboards demanded.
Answer:
D. Quantity of snowboards supplied is greater than the quantity of snowboards demanded.
Explanation:
Supply is the total amount of goods or services that a supplier is willing to make available to consumers. It is also the willingness and ability of suppliers to sell their products at a given price.
Surplus means excess to a layman.
In other words, when there is a surplus, it means that the quantity supplied for the particular product is greater than the quantity demanded.
The quantity demanded for a surplus product will always be lower than the quantity supplied because consumers would have little demand even at a reduced price due to the surplursity of the product.

Answer:
C) used to record an adjustment to Bad Debt Expense for the year ending December 31, 2021.
Explanation:
Retained earnings account cannot be adjusted after December 31 (or whenever the balance must be done), but bad debt expense can be adjusted, specially if it increases.
Generally a company estimates it bad debt expense, the different methods used to estimate bad debts (allowance, percentage or aging methods) are used more commonly than the direct write-off method. But as every estimate, they can be close to reality or not.
E.g. some companies might have a very important client that represents a large portion of their credit sales, and if suddenly that large client that had always paid on time defaults, that event must be included in the balance sheet since the bad debts expense will increase significantly.

The trial balance of a company included the following account balances: Cash, $25,000; Short-Term Investments, $10,000; Accounts Receivable, $40,000; Inventory, $90,000; and Prepaid Insurance, $12,000. Its quick assets total:
A. $35,000
B. $125,000
C. $75,000
D. $165,000
E. $50,000
Answer:
C. $75,000
Explanation:
All the current assets which can be quickly converted into cash are the quick assets. Inventory and Prepaid Insurance are not the p[art of this because these take much longer time to convert into cash than other current assets. Receivable has more liquidity than inventory because it takes less time to recover.
Cash $25,000
Short-Term Investments $10,000
Accounts Receivable $40,000
Total Quick Assets $75,000
Answer:
Its quick assets total is $75,000. The right answer is C.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's quick assets total we need to check according to the data, which of the account balances of the company are quick assets.
Hence, Quick assets are the following:
Cash $ 25,000
Short Term Investments $10,000.
Accounts Receivable $40,000.
Therefore, Total Quick Assets=$ 25,000+ $10,000+ $40,000= $75,000

= $41,000
