Explanation:
Externality is a microeconomic concept that aims to explain the positive or negative impact that an economic activity has on third parties. If by exercising an economic activity, a company indirectly benefits society or community, the externality is positive. If economic activity negatively impacts the surrounding community, externality is said to be negative.
For example, the pollution that an industry emits in the production process has deleterious effects throughout society, being a negative externality. Likewise, a truck causes potholes in the road, this is a negative externality, since all citizens' taxes, including most non-truckers, will be used to restore potholes in the roadway.

If there is a surplus in the market for loanable funds, the resulting change in the real interest rate a. raises the quantity of loanable funds supplied and reduces the quantity of loanable funds demanded. b. reduces the quantity of loanable funds supplied and raises the quantity of loanable funds demanded c. raises both the quantity of loanable funds supplied and the quantity of loanable funds demanded. d. reduces both the quantity of loanable funds supplied and the quantity of loanable funds demanded.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
A surplus in the market for loanable funds is likely to cause a fall in the interest rate. At lower interest rate, people who need credit will demand more loanable funds. While the suppliers will provide less funds. So, the demand of loanable funds will increase and the supply will decrease.
This process will continue till excess demand will cause the interest rate to rise. The initial equilibrium will be restored eventually.
In the presence of a surplus in the loanable funds market, the real interest rate decreases, which reduces the supply of and increases the demand for loanable funds, addressing option b.
Explanation:If there is a surplus in the market for loanable funds, the resulting change in the real interest rate reduces the quantity of loanable funds supplied and raises the quantity of loanable funds demanded. This answer corresponds with option b. In an open market, when there is a surplus of loanable funds, this typically exerts downward pressure on the real interest rate.
As the real interest rate decreases, the cost of borrowing becomes cheaper, which, in turn, increases the demand for loanable funds. Conversely, the incentive for saving decreases due to lower returns on savings, which reduces the supply of loanable funds. This mechanism is how the market moves towards equilibrium, balancing supply and demand through adjustments in the real interest rate.
When Elle's Espresso Bar raised its price by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent. When Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent. Explain the difference between the responses to Elle's price hike and the price cut. Why did the price increase bring a large response in the quantity sold while the price cut had only a small effect?
A. The change in the quantity demanded is always larger with a price hike than with a price cut.
B. With a price hike the demand for Elle's coffee is inelastic, but with a price cut the demand for Elle's coffee is elastic.
C. Elle's coffee has lots of dose substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more inelastic than the market demand for coffee.
D. Elle's coffee has lots of dose substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.
Answer: Elle's coffee has lots of close substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.
Here, it can be seen that when Elle's Espresso Bar raised its price by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent, whereas when Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent.
∴ The demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee.
Answer:
D. Elle's coffee has lots of dose substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee
Explanation:
When Elle's Espresso Bar raised its price by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee that Elle sold decreased by 40 percent. When Elle and all her competitors cut their prices by 10 percent, the quantity of coffee sold by Elle increased by only 4 percent. Explain the difference between the responses to Elle's price hike and the price cut. Why did the price increase bring a large response in the quantity sold while the price cut had only a small effect?
D. Elle's coffee has lots of dose substitutes while coffee has few substitutes, so the demand for Elle's coffee is more elastic than the market demand for coffee
it is D because
It can be seen that the demand is more elastic. This when the percentage change in quantity demanded for a particular goods is greater than the percentage change in price
7. At a price of $2.00, total surplus is A. larger than it would be at the equilibrium price. B. the same as it would be at the equilibrium price. C. smaller than it would be at the equilibrium price. D. There is insufficient information to make this determination.
Answer: Option (D) is correct.
Explanation:
There is insufficient information for making any comments on the total surplus when price is $2.00.
Total surplus is a combination of two components that are producer surplus and consumer surplus.
we are not able to comment anything on total surplus untill we have some details on equilibrium price. Once the details of equilibrium are available then we are able to measure total surplus.
Final answer:
Total surplus at a price of $2.00 is smaller than at the equilibrium price. A price floor has the largest effect when it is set substantially above the equilibrium price, creating a larger surplus. A price ceiling's largest effect occurs when set substantially below the equilibrium, causing a significant shortage.
Explanation:
At a price of $2.00, total surplus is C. smaller than it would be at the equilibrium price. Equilibrium price is defined as the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. Any price other than the equilibrium results in either excess supply or excess demand, leading to a decrease in total surplus, which is the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus.
When discussing a price floor, it will have the largest effect if it is set substantially above the equilibrium price. This is because it would cause the greatest discrepancy between the quantity demanded and quantity supplied, resulting in a larger surplus of goods. In contrast, a price ceiling will have the largest effect if it is set substantially below the equilibrium price, as this would cause a significant shortage by increasing the quantity demanded and decreasing the quantity supplied.
One cost-of-living indicator available on the internet shows that a salary of $40,000 in santa barbara, california, is equivalent to $14,000 in wichita, kansas. this is primarily because of housing, which is much less expensive in wichita. what does this difference say about how the federal government calculates poverty?
Answer:
it points to a flaw in the way the government calculates the poverty line, as the standard is uniformly applied without regard to regional differences.
Final answer:
The federal government calculates poverty based on a national poverty line, which may not accurately reflect the cost of living in different regions. Regional variations in the cost of living can result in discrepancies between salaries and the poverty line. Some argue for region-specific poverty lines to better capture economic realities.
Explanation:
The difference in cost of living between Santa Barbara, California, and Wichita, Kansas, highlights the challenge of calculating poverty at the national level. The federal government calculates poverty based on a national poverty line, which does not consider the regional variations in the cost of living. This means that the poverty line may not accurately reflect the actual living conditions and expenses in different parts of the country.
For example, the salary of $40,000 in Santa Barbara may be considered above the poverty line due to the higher cost of living in the area, while the equivalent salary of $14,000 in Wichita may fall below the poverty line because of the lower cost of living. This discrepancy shows that the federal government's poverty calculations may not adequately capture the economic realities in different regions.
Considering the regional cost of living differences, some argue that it would be more effective to have region-specific poverty lines that take into account the varying economic conditions across different areas.

Harcourt Manufacturing (HM) has the capacity to produce 10,000 fax machines per year. HM currently produces and sells 7,000 units per year. The fax machines normally sell for $100 each. Modem Products has offered to buy 2,000 fax machines from HM for $60 each. Unit-level costs associated with manufacturing the fax machines are $15 each for direct labor and $40 each for direct materials. Product-level and facility-level costs are $50,000 and $65,000, respectively. How much would profit increase (decrease) if HM accepted this special order?
$10,000
$112,000
$10,000
$112,000
Answer:
Increase by $10,000
Explanation:
Calculating current profit
Sales = 7,000 units X $100 = $700,000
Less: Variable Cost, Direct labor $15 + Direct material $40 = $55 each unit
= $7,000 X $55 = $385,000
Less: Fixed Cost = Product level $65,000 + Facility Level = $50,000 = $115,000
Total profit = $700,000 - $385,000 - $115,000 = $200,000
Since the entire production capacity is for 10,000 units and only 7,000 units are produced additional production of 2,000 units is within the limit and will not require additional fixed cost.
Thus profit on sale of these 2,000 units
Sales value = 2,000 X $60 = $120,000
Less: Variable cost per unit of $55 = 2,000 X $55 = $110,000
Profit on these 2,000 units = $120,000 - $110,000 = $10,000
This concludes that profit will increase by $10,000 with this order of 2,000 units.

A company manufactures and distributes replacement parts for various industries. As of December 31, year 1, the following amounts pertain to the company's inventory: Item Cost Net replacement cost Sale price Cost to sell or dispose Normal profit margin Blades $41,000 $ 38,000 $ 50,000 $ 2,000 $15,000 Towers 52,000 40,000 54,000 4,000 14,000 Generators 20,000 24,000 30,000 2,000 6,000 Gearboxes 80,000 105,000 120,000 12,000 8,000 What is the total carrying value of the company's inventory as of December 31, year 1, under IFRS?
Answer:
Total Inventory = 191,000
Explanation:
You will have to compare the cost column with the net realisable value.
So you need to do Sale price - Cost to sell or dispose to get the NRV of each one.
Then we compare with the cost, and pick the lowest.
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccCCc}$Item&$Cost&$sale price&$cost to sell or dispose&$NVR\\Blades&41000&50000&2000&48000\\Towers&52000&54000&4000&50000\\Generators&20000&30000&2000&28000\\Gearboxes&80000&120000&12000&108000\\\end{array}\right] \\[/tex]
So we have the following:
Blades: 41,000
Towers: 50,000
Generators: 20,000
Gearboxes: 80,000
Total Inventory = 191,000
In versioning, the firm makes a high-quality product, version A, and sets a high price for one market segment. The firm also degrades this product to produce version B. It offers version B for a lower price to a different segment of customers. Is there an ethical issue here
Answer:
Pricing products of different versions is not an ethical issue, but an economic one.
Explanation:
When a company decides to price a product, there are a number of factors that lead to the value that will be added to that product. In short, when pricing a product, the company will consider the costs of producing and transporting it, the quality of the product, the raw material used, the demand for that product, and the audience for which it is intended. Pricing is a strategic retail activity, especially for those dealing with a large number of products.
In the case of the company that degraded version A of a product, with the objective of launching a version B of the same product in lower quality and lower price, we can say that what happened there was a sales strategy that does not necessarily involve an ethical issue. .
The company has degraded version A of the product, to offer the same product to a less economical audience, as the version B of the product has a lower quality its price will also be lower and more accessible to the entire population, but this does not prohibit no one to buy version A, which is more expensive and with higher quality.

Since with this transaction total imports increased by $1,000 net exports will decrease by $1,000
d. increases U.S. imports by $1,000 and decreases U.S. net exports by $1,000.

The chair of the board of the local Humane Society chose the bank where the organization keeps its money; however, the office manager is the primary person who makes deposits, writes checks, and balances the account every month. The office manager is the ________ in the buying center for the bank account.
Answer:
Here the office manager is the user in the buying center for the bank account.
Explanation:
In this question , where the chair of the board ( of local human society ) selects in which bank , the organization would keep its money but the office manager is the one who is the person who is using the bank account , as he he is the one who is making deposits, writing checks and balancing the accounts etc, so this is the reason why it would not be wrong to call office manager as user in the buying center for the bank account.
The office manager is the 'user' in the buying center for the bank account, as they are responsible for managing the account's day-to-day operations. A buying center includes different roles involved in the purchasing process, where the user is the one who directly interacts with the product or service.
The office manager in the given scenario plays a critical role in the relationship between the local Humane Society and the bank where the organization keeps its money. Since the office manager is responsible for making deposits, writing checks, and balancing the account monthly, they are essentially the primary contact and operator for the bank account on behalf of the organization. In terms of the buying center for the bank account, the office manager is the user.
A buying center is a part of an organization involved in the purchasing decision process. It consists of all the members who play any of the roles in the buying process. The roles include users, influencers, buyers, deciders, and gatekeepers. The user, in this context, is the individual or group that actually uses the product or service. In this case, since the office manager is the one who actively engages with the bank account through deposits, checks, and account management, they fulfill the role of the user in the buying center.
One important difference between capital budgeting and security analysis is that in security analysis the analyst must generally take the projected cash flows as given rather than something the analyst can influence, whereas firms can often influence the cash flows from projects by making operating changes. True or false?
Answer: True
Explanation:
Capital budgeting is the method used in the planning process in the organisations used to evaluate the long term project investing. Security analysis is the method of determining the proper value of debt, equity or hybrid securities of an organisation.
In simple words capital budgeting is an evaluation method and security analysis is the valuation method. Capital budgeting is done fro the data that is usually expected in nature whereas security analysis is done on the data which already exists in market.
Security analysis is done for valuing the securities thus the cash flows are given and we have to use that data for valuation purposes but in capital budgeting we can influence the cash flows as we have an objective to achieve .

To ascertain if they are reaching out to the right potential customers, Don's Fashions can conduct market research, make improvements to their website and experiment with different social media platforms. Conducting market research should be their primary strategy to accurately identify their customer's behaviour and preferences.
Explanation:
Don's Fashions could explore several methods to ascertain if they are reaching their best potential customers. Option A suggests conducting market research which can help the company verify whether their defined target market is correct. By using surveys, focus groups, or data analysis, they can glean valuable insights into their customer's preferences, motivations and buying patterns.
Option B indicates the need for a digital presence upgrade. Improving their website and making it more appealing could potentially attract their target audience. However, without definitive research to gauge their target audience's digital preferences, this approach could prove less effective.
As to Option C, they can certainly experiment with different social media platforms. Different demographics may prefer different social platforms and switching could provide them the opportunity to reach a broader or more specific audience. This being said, all these actions should be based on data obtained from a thorough market research.

Barry must first pay his deductible ($250) and then he has to pay a 20% copay on all expenses above the deductible, but the copay cap is $1,500, so the maximum copay that Barry needs to pay is $1,500. The $1,500 copay would represent a total medical expense of $7,500 (= $1,500 / 20%).
Si the total level of medical expenses that Barry must reach before he can stop paying = $250 + $7,500 = $7,750. At this amount Barry will have paid $250 (deductible) + $1,500 (copay) = $1,750
An American executive goes to Yemen to finalize a business deal. He hands over his documents to his Yemeni host with his left hand, which Muslims in Yemen consider unclean. Moreover, he refuses to accept the dry fruits that he is offered, a behavior that deeply offends his host.

The lack of understanding of _____ is most likely to have resulted in the loss of business for the American executive.
A. the business laws in Yemen
B. Yemeni ethics
C. the business trends in Yemen
D. the banking system in Yemeni
E. Yemeni culture
Answer: YEMENI ETHICS

Explanation:
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output. It has average revenue of $10, average total cost of $8, and fixed cost of $200. The efficient scale of the firm must be more than, less than, or exactly 100 units?
Answer: Efficient scale occurs at an output level of less than 100.
Explanation:
Given,
Average Revenue (P) = $10,
Quantity (Q) = 100,
Average Total Cost (ATC) = $8
Fixed Cost (FC) = $200
Profit (π) = (P - ATC)×Q
= ($10 - $8)×100
= $200
In a competitive market,
MR = MC.
∵ Marginal revenue equals Marginal cost, Therefore MC = $10.
Average fixed costs (AFC) = [tex]\frac{FC}{Q}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{200}{100}[/tex]
= $2
Average variable cost = Average total cost - Average fixed cost
= $8 - $2
= $6
Here average total cost is less than the marginal cost and it must be increasing. The efficient scale of the firm occurs when the price is set at minimum average cost.
Hence, efficient scale occurs at an output level of less than 100.
The efficient scale of a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market can be determined by comparing the average total cost at different levels of output. If the average total cost at the current level of output is the lowest, then the efficient scale is exactly 100 units. Otherwise, the efficient scale must be less than 100 units.
Explanation:A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output. It has average revenue of $10, average total cost of $8, and fixed cost of $200. To determine the efficient scale of the firm, we need to compare the average total cost at the current level of output to the average total cost at other levels of output. If the average total cost at 100 units is the lowest, then the efficient scale of the firm is exactly 100 units. However, if the average total cost is lower at a different level of output, then the efficient scale must be less than 100 units.
