Answer: d
Explanation: the increase in the aggregate demand leads to increase in the price level. Workers have a higher expending capacity.
Any increase in the demand production causes the prices
to increase.
Inflation is primarily caused by decreases in the long-run aggregate supply curve or increases in aggregate demand curve, making option C the correct answer. Increases in LRAS signify economic growth, while increases in AD when the economy is at potential lead to higher prices but do not change real GDP or unemployment.
Explanation:Inflation can occur in an economy when there are shifts in aggregate demand (AD) and aggregate supply (AS). Specifically, inflation is typically caused by decreases in the long-run aggregate supply (LRAS) or increases in aggregate demand (AD). Therefore, the correct answer to the provided question is C. decreases in the long-run aggregate supply curve or increases in the aggregate demand curve.
In the neoclassical model, the LRAS is depicted as a vertical line, indicating that, in the long run, the economy's productive capacity is fixed and determined by factors such as technology and resources. When AD increases rapidly and shifts to the right, it intersects the LRAS at a higher price level, leading to inflation, but it does not affect the real GDP or the natural rate of unemployment in the long run.
On the contrary, increases in the LRAS would mean the economy is capable of producing more goods and services without causing inflation, reflecting economic growth rather than inflation. An inflationary gap, on the other hand, is created when AD increases while the economy is already at its potential output, leading to higher prices without a change in real GDP.
Ecology Co. sells a biodegradable product called Dissol and has predicted the following sales for the first four months of the current year: Jan. Feb. March. April. Sales in units 3,500 4,600 5,700 4,300 Ending inventory for each month should be 20% of the next month's sales, and the December 31 inventory is consistent with that policy. How many units should be purchased in February?
Answer:
4,820 units
Explanation:
The computation of the purchased units in February month is shown below:
= Sale units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units
where,
Sale units is 4,600 units
Ending inventory units = 5,700 units × 20% = 1,140 units
Beginning inventory units = 4,600 × 20% = 920 units
Now put these units to the above formula
So, the units would equal to
= 4,600 units + 1,140 units - 920 units
= 4,820 units

There are many options available to consumers when it comes to breakfast cereals. So, if Kellogg's significantly increases the price of Rice Krispies, consumers are more apt to buy alternate cereals instead. This illustrates which concept?1) cross-price elasticity
2) the income effect
3) the target return effect
4) the substitution effect
5) the break-even point
Answer:
4) the substitution effect
Explanation:
When a product's change in price (increase) directly influences the consumers to switch to lower-cost alternatives, it is called the substitution effect.
Usually, it is applicable for similar kinds of FMCG goods. Of course, personal spending power and consumer habits are of great importance too, but the substitution effect best describes what happens with the consumer choice when the price of a particular good increases.
The substitution effect describes situations when the product's price increases, but the spending power remains on the same level. If the change in spending power was the input for consumer choice, than it would be the income effect.
Xavier, 16, invites a group of his high school friends to swim in a neighbor's pool late at night while that neighbor is away. They climb the fence and jump in, playing wildly and loudly in the water. Just a few minutes later, the police arrive. How does adolescent brain development help explain Xavier's poor decision making?
A. His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.
B. His amygdala is underdeveloped.
C. The regions regulating his emotions are underdeveloped.
D. His limbic system is underdeveloped
Answer:A - His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.
Explanation: For Xavier to be able to make such a decision as to invite his friends to swim in his neighbors pool while we was out at night shows that his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.
Prefrontal cortex is the frontal part of the frontal lobe in the brain. This part of the brain is responsible for some of our behaviours like decision making, social behaviour moderator and personality expressions.
This is to say that Xavier's behaviour was controlled by his prefrontal cortex that is still developing.
An inventory system answers two important questions: when to order and how much to order. Which of the following statements correctly explains how a Q System (continuous review system) or a P system (periodic review system) answers these questions? A. Under a Q System, a fixed quantity is ordered every P time period. B. Under a Q system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R. C. Under a P system, a fixed quantity is ordered when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R D. Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods.
Answer:
The answer is letter D
Explanation:
Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods.
Under a Q System, orders are placed when inventory drops to a reorder point R, replenishing it to the target level T. A P System orders at fixed time intervals P, with order quantities varying to reach the target level T.
The correct statement explaining how a Q System (continuous review system) and a P System (periodic review system) answer the questions of when to order and how much to order is: B. Under a Q system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R.
In a Q System, the inventory is continuously monitored, and when the inventory level drops to a predetermined reorder point R, a fixed quantity Q is ordered to bring inventory up to the target level T. This approach responds promptly to inventory level changes, maintaining service level and minimizing stockouts.
Contrastingly, D. Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods. In a P System, inventory is checked at fixed intervals P, and the order quantity varies depending on the current inventory level and the target inventory level T. This system is suited to controlling inventories with less frequent reviews and tends to batch orders, which may result in larger inventory holdings.

On July 1, 2019, Montana Company has bonds with balances as shown below. Bonds Payable 66,000 Discount on Bonds Payable 3,800 If the company retires the bonds for $71,150, what will be the effect on the income statement?
Answer:
Loss on the retirement of $4,750
Explanation:
The following have the effect on the income statement which is a loss on the retirement and it amounts to $4,750
It is computed as:
Loss on retirement = Retirement value of the bonds - Issued price of the bonds
= $71,150 - $66,400
= $4,750
Working Note:
Issued Price of bonds = Face value - Discount on bonds payable
= $70,000 - $3,600
= $66,400
The retirement of Montana Company's bonds for $71,150 will result in a loss of $8,950, negatively impacting the income statement as this amount exceeds the carrying value of the bonds.
Explanation:On July 1, 2019, Montana Company had bonds payable of $66,000 and a discount on bonds payable of $3,800. If the company decides to retire the bonds for $71,150, the effect on the income statement will be determined by calculating the loss or gain on this retirement. Firstly, we need to adjust the carrying amount of the bonds by subtracting the discount from the bonds payable, resulting in a carrying amount of $62,200 ($66,000 - $3,800). When the bonds are retired for $71,150, this results in a loss because the retirement cost is greater than the carrying amount. The loss calculated would be $8,950 ($71,150 - $62,200), which will negatively affect the income statement as an expense.
Corporations normally are financed by ______. One type of security consists of borrowing funds and is called a ________. The other main type of security consists of ownership in the corporation and is called a_________ , or equity security.

Vansel Inc. retains most of its earnings. The company currently has earnings per share of $11. Vansel expects its earnings to grow at a constant rate of 2 percent per year. Furthermore, the average PE ratio of all other firms in Vansel's industry is 12. Vansel is expected to pay dividends per share of $3.50 during each of the next three years. If investors require a 10 percent rate of return on Vansel stock, a fair price for Vansel stock today is $____.
a. 113.95
b. 111.32
c. 105.25
d. none of the above
Answer:
A. $113.95
Explanation:
Vansel's expect that the EPS will grow by 2% annually, the earnings per share in 3 years are forecast to be:
Earnings in 3 years = $11×(1+2%)³ = $11.67
The forecasted earnings per share can be multiplied by the PE ratio of the firm’s industry to forecast the future stock price. The average PE ratio of all other firms in Vansel industry is 12, the stock price in three years can be forecast as follows:
Stock price in three years = (Earnings in three years)×(PE ratio of industry) = $11.67×12 = $140.08
This forecasted stock price can be used along with expected dividends and the investor’s required rate of return to value the stock today. Vansel pay a dividend of $3.5 per share over the next three years and the investor’s required rate of return (Re)is 10%, then the present value of expected cash flows to be received by the investor is:
PV = Dividend₁/(1+Re)¹ + Dividend₂/(1+Re)² + Dividend₃/(1+Re)³ +Stock price in three years/(1+Re)³ = $3.5/(1+10%) + $3.5/(1+10%)² + $3.5/(1+10%)³ + $140.08/(1+10%)³ = $113.95
Why is the participation of young invincibles important to the success of the aca health insurance marketplaces?
Answer:
First of all, young invincibles are young people, usually between 18 and 34 years old, that expect to remain healthy and therefore are not willing to buy health insurance.
The problem is that effectively young invincibles use less health care than other age groups but they serve as a balance for people with preexisting conditions that use health care a lot.
When the amount of young invincibles that acquire insurance is too small compared to preexisting conditions groups, health care costs will increase due to adverse selection and health care premiums will also increase.

Which of the following will likely apply to the low-risk group of homeowners? Group of answer choices the low and medium-risk groups will pay less than the high-risk group those in the low-risk group will be discouraged from buying home insurance. they must buy insurance and pay more than the actuarially fair amount for their risk group those in the low-risk group will pay less than both the medium-risk and high-risk group
Answer: The answer is (B)
Explanation: For clarity, the options are:
(A) the low and medium risk groups will pay less than the high risk groups
(B) those in the low risk groups will be discouraged from buying home insurance
(C) they must buy insurance and pay more than the actually fair amount for their risk group
(D) those in low risk groups will pay less than both the medium risk and high risk groups
EXPLANATION:
(A) can't be the answer because in Insurance, you are not necessarily allowed to pay according to the exact risk you forsee. The company will have static amounts for each type of insurance e.g. home insurance, car insurance, etc. So, the low and medium risk groups will pay the same amount as the high risk groups once they have decided to insure their homes.
(B) is correct because low risk home residents who haven't taken up a home insurance will see that they don't really benefit from it as much as high risk home residents do. So they will be discouraged to take up a home insurance.
(C) the key word here is "must" and there is no enforcement when it comes to taking up an insurance plan

In class, we considered the way in which value-pricing is used by firms like McDonald's to provide more value to consumers. In general, this one useful approach to get consumers' attention for our product. However, as discussed, a practical problem can arise if: a. The COSTS for ingredients may rise, so that the firm cannot produce a profit at the value-priced amount. b. COMPETITION can charge us with illegal price competition. c. Consumer groups accuse us of caring more about profits than about our consumers' health. d. Managers cannot calculate the value price in the store e. as a practical matter, we pointed out that value-pricing always reduces our profits.
Answer:
A) The COSTS for ingredients may rise, so that the firm cannot produce a profit at the value-priced amount.
Explanation:
Value pricing strategies usually work because consumers always like good offers and what better offer than a cheap price. But for any company to be able to sell at very low prices, the inputs they use including labor, materials and capital must be cheap also. That is the reason why McDonald's pays a low salary and they have to buy the cheapest possible ingredients.
If the price of any of their inputs increases significantly, then they will start losing money if they keep their prices low. If we want to pay $1 for a hamburger, then we cannot expect it to be made with the best ingredients available or by the best paid chefs in the world.
Premier Co. produces park equipment and is currently producing 10,000 park benches annually. A supplier has offered to produce the bench for Premier Co. for $500 per bench. Premier Co. incurs unit-level costs of $490 per unit. Premier also spends $50,000 on product design each year and incurs $100,000 of facility-level costs. Calculate the avoidable production cost for Premier Co. to produce 1 bench.
Final answer:
Premier Co.'s avoidable production cost to produce one park bench is $490, which represents the direct unit-level costs associated with producing each bench. Other costs such as product design and facility-level costs are not considered avoidable as they would be incurred irrespective of production decisions.
Explanation:
The question asks to calculate the avoidable production cost for Premier Co. to produce one park bench, given that the company currently produces 10,000 benches annually, incurs unit-level costs of $490 per bench, spends $50,000 annually on product design, and has facility-level costs of $100,000.
Avoidable costs are those that can be saved if the company stops producing the benches. The unit-level cost of $490 per bench is the direct cost of producing each bench and is thus considered an avoidable cost. However, the product design costs of $50,000 and facility-level costs of $100,000 are sunk costs and not avoidable in the short term as they are incurred regardless of the number of benches produced. Thus, the avoidable cost for producing one bench is $490, only considering the unit-level costs.
Assume that Mitchell Company uses a periodic inventory system and has these account balances: Purchases $600,000; Purchase Returns and Allowances $25,000; Purchases Discounts $11,000; and Freight-in $19,000; beginning inventory of $45,000; ending inventory of $55,000; and net sales of $750,000. Determine the amounts to be reported for cost of goods sold and gross profit.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $573,000
Gross Profit = $177,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Purchases = $600,000
Purchase Returns and Allowances = $25,000
Purchases Discounts = $11,000
Freight-in = $19,000
Beginning inventory = $45,000
Ending inventory = $55,000
Net sales = $750,000
Now,
Total Goods Available for Sale =
Beginning Inventory + Purchases + Freight-In - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchases Discounts
= $45,000 + $600,000 + $19,000 - $25,000 - $11,000
= $628,000
Thus,
Cost of goods sold = Total Goods Available for Sale - ending inventory
= $628,000 - $55,000
= $573,000
Gross Profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold
= $750,000 - $573,000
= $177,000
To determine the cost of goods sold and gross profit for Mitchell Company, we calculated the COGS as $673,000 by adjusting the beginning inventory by purchases, returns, allowances, discounts, freight-in, and ending inventory. The gross profit was then found by subtracting COGS from net sales, resulting in $77,000.
To determine the cost of goods sold (COGS) and gross profit for Mitchell Company, we start by calculating the COGS using the following formula:
Begin with the beginning inventory: $45,000.
Add purchases: $600,000.
Subtract purchase returns and allowances: $25,000.
Subtract purchase discounts: $11,000.
Add freight-in: $19,000.
Subtract the ending inventory: $55,000.
COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Purchase Returns and Allowances - Purchase Discounts + Freight-in - Ending Inventory
COGS = $45,000 + $600,000 - $25,000 - $11,000 + $19,000 - $55,000
COGS = $673,000
Next, we calculate gross profit by subtracting COGS from net sales:
Gross Profit = Net Sales - COGS
Gross Profit = $750,000 - $673,000
Gross Profit = $77,000
The cost of goods sold to be reported is $673,000, and the gross profit is $77,000.
Make contact with a sales manager, ask him/ her about their ethical selling practices and report your findings. You may want to ask if the firm has:
a. a code of ethics in place
b. an ethics committee
c. a policy on giving and receiving gifts
d. procedures for dealing with whistle-blowing
Answer: A code of ethics in place.
Explanation: If I were to interview a sales manager of a firm about their ethical selling, the first question I would ask would be if they have any existing code of ethics.
Code of ethics simply are values and morals that an organization place highly for its members to abide by or follow.
Code of ethics could of the form: no stealing, sincerity, integrity.
Then I would go on to ask if the sales firm has an ethics committee. The ethics committee is normally in charge of monitoring the ethics compliance of workers.

If a perfectly competitive firm with constant returns to scale was reorganized as a monopoly, its monopoly price would be ________ the perfectly competitive price and its monopoly output would be ________ the perfectly competitive output.
Answer:
The correct answers are: greater than; less than.
Explanation:
In the perfect competition model, the nature of the scale returns poses serious problems, whatever the case considered. Sise assumes that the returns of scale are increasing, the supply of companies is infinite; if they are constant, the offer is null, infinite or indeterminate (equilibrium case); if they are decreasing, the profit of the companies is strictly positive in the balance '. In the latter case, if they could do so, companies would be interested in dividing themselves, without any limit, into entities as small as possible.
Among the advantages of cycle counting is that it: allows more rapid identification of errors and consequent remedial action than is possible with annual physical inventory. makes the annual physical inventory more acceptable to management. does not need to be performed for less expensive items. does not require the detailed records necessary when annual physical inventory is used. does not require highly trained people.
Answer:
Allows more rapid identification of errors and consequent remedial action than is possible with annual physical inventory
Explanation:
Cycle counting is a prominent stock tallying arrangement that enables organisations to include various things in various zones inside the distribution centre without calculating the whole stock. Cycle checking is an inspecting method where the count of a specific number of things derives the mean the entire distribution centres. It also helps in the identification of errors.
Cycle counting offers advantages such as rapid error identification and maintains accurate records, making annual inventories more manageable and reliable. It requires detailed records just like annual inventories and needs to be performed on all inventory items for effectiveness.
Explanation:Among the advantages of cycle counting is that it allows for a more rapid identification of errors and enables quick remedial action, which can be more efficient than what is possible with an annual physical inventory. This ongoing process can help make the annual physical inventory more acceptable to management, as it ensures that inventory records are accurate throughout the year. However, it's important to note that cycle counting still requires detailed records similar to annual physical inventory and needs to be performed even for less expensive items to maintain accuracy. While it may not require highly trained people, sufficiently trained personnel are essential to perform cycle counting effectively, especially when identifying and correcting errors.
