Answer:
They allow government to influence farmers' decisions about what and how much to produce.
Explanation:
Price supports are government subsidies or price controls used to artificially raise or decrease prices on the agricultural market.
Farmers allows the government to influence their decisions about what and how much to produce, this causes inconsistency with the free market principles with the agriculture price support. This is an effective price management economic policy to ensure that farmers have sufficient opportunities and incomes to continue producing at the cost of the products they want.
Answer:
This grants the government permission to directly affect farmers' stance or decisions concerning
what to produce and how much to produce.
Explanation:
A free market is the one where willing
exchange and the laws governing supply and
demand usually provide the only base for the
economic system, excluding hhe government intervening. Considering the way the government intervenes or lallows itself with the right to agricultural matters of a country, there is likely no free-market principles enjoyed by the agricultural sector of an economy.
Interest rates on 4-year Treasury securities are currently 5.4%, while 6-year Treasury securities yield 7.65%. If the pure expectations theory is correct, what does the market believe that 2-year securities will be yielding 4 years from now
Answer:
12.3%
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate what is believed a 2-year market security will be yielding, 4 years from now
To calculate this, we proceed mathematically;
2 year yield 4 years from now = [ ( 1 + 0.0765)^6 / ( 1 + 0.054)^4]^1/2 - 1
2 year yield 4 years from now = [ 1.5563 / 1.2341]^1/2 - 1 = 0.123
2 year yield 4 years from now = 0.123
2 year yield 4 years from now = 12.3%
Cherokee Cable Corporation, sells heavy wire cable to large construction companies around the country. Customers pay shipping from a central warehouse in Dallas. Recently, a new competitor in Atlanta has been taking away some of Cherokee Cable's southern customers. If Cherokee Cable wants to compete in those distant markets, but not increase the cost of its product to other customers, it would probably switch to _________.a. zone pricing.
b. specifying "F.O.B. Dallas" in its contracts.
c. uniform delivered pricing.
d. freight absorption pricing.
e. None of the above would help Cherokee Cable Corporation with its problem.
Answer:
The correct answer is d. freight absorption pricing.
Explanation:
The freight absorption pricing means Cherokee must charge the price increase by a factor so that the customer does not perceive that they are paying a higher price for the cables. This strategy is effective when you want to compete directly in the market, achieving sustained demand behavior. If Cherokee Cable does nothing in this situation, it is most likely that it will lose a large part of the market due to product price issues.
Answer:
D) freight absorption pricing.
Explanation:
Freight absorption pricing strategy is a type of geographic pricing strategy, where the company absorbs some or all of the freight costs for specific geographical markets.
In this case, Cherokee Cable knows that they are having trouble in southern states near Georgia, so they will probably start absorbing some of the freight costs to clients located in those states. The problem wire cable sellers face is that besides being heavy loads, they are also large, so the freight costs are probably high. The Atlanta competitor has the advantage of being closer, and therefore, the total costs for the clients are much lower.

The company effectively implemented data classification. B. The company effectively implemented quality control. C. The company effectively implemented patch management. D. The company effectively implemented quality assurance.
Answer:
C. The company effectively implemented patch management.
Explanation:
The company's approach is an implemented patch management.
Patch management is the process of acquiring, testing, evaluating and installing code changes or patches on an existing software, in order to ensure that systems stay updated on existing patches and evaluating the appropriate patches across the network.
Basically, it helps to fix software bugs and vulnerabilities by upgrading applications so as to prevent hacking.
Answer: C. The company effectively implemented patch management.
Explanation: Patch management should be implemented, since it was the machine's operating system that was affected.
Patch management is a process done to help test, acquire and install multiple batches that is code changes on a software tools and on existing application on a computer, to enable it stay on existing patches and determine which patch is appropriate.
Patch management is important and patches are created when a company is experiencing data breach, it is done to ensure other business data remains safe and when patches are apply quickly it lessen the risk of affecting the business.
Sean is forming his forecast based on the _________ model of inflation and Carlos is forming his forecast based on the __________ quantity theory adaptive expectations rational expectations expected real interest rate seignorage model of inflation.
Answer:
The correct answer is adaptive expectations; rational expectations.
Explanation:
Adaptive and rational expectations are forecasts that are made about the size of future economic variables.
Agents based on adaptive expectations based on past values. If one wanted to know the inflation rate for the coming years, the agents attributed previous data to lose it, which led to the use of macroeconomic models. If inflation were expected to be the same as the previous year, the desirable inflation would always be below the real one; in this case the errors will show a systematic bias.
In contrast, rational expectations assume that errors should be learned. If they show a systematic bias, the agents would make modifications to determine a more accurate forecast.

A. especially large and sustained household saving
B. increased borrowing by private firms
C. reduction in influx of funds for foreign financial investors
D. especially large and sustained government borrowing
Answer:
D. especially large and sustained government borrowing
Explanation:
When a government spends more than it collects in taxes, it runs a budget deficit. When the government starts borrowing large sums too much, it can substantially facilitate the reduction in the financial capital available to private sector firms, as well as lead to trade uncertainties and even financial crises.

A. The acceptance of additional money to settle a disputed claim is supported by consideration.
B. A past obligation is sufficient consideration for a new promise.
C. Andrew was already obligated to paint the house. He gives no additional consideration in return for Rosalene's promise to pay more money.
D. Rosalene has made a promise in exchange for a forbearance.
Answer:
C. Andrew was already obligated to paint the house. He gives no additional consideration in return for Rosalene's promise to pay more money.
Explanation:
In this scenario Andrew had already agreed to do the painting for $500, so he is obligated to do the job or breach the contract.
He does not have a legal backing to make a counter deal in the middle of the job.
If Roseline decides to pay an extra $100 she does so without any obligations. She may or may not pay and Andrew is still obligated to complete the work.
Valiant Petro products refines crude oil to produce gasoline and kerosene. Joint costs incurred during the month of May were $1,800,000. Gasoline requires further processing to be marketable and hence a further processing cost of $100,000 was incurred. Kerosene also requires further processing to be marketable and hence a further processing cost of $200,000 was incurred. Gasoline was sold at $4 per gallon and kerosene at $3.50 per gallon. During the month of May, 500,000 gallons of gasoline and 600,000 gallons of kerosene were processed. What is the production cost per gallon of gasoline for the month of May using the NRV method? Assume there was no beginning inventory.
Answer: $1,400,000
Explanation:
Joint cost = $1,800,000
Further processing cost(Gasoline) =$100,000
Further processing cost(kerosene) =$200,000
Price of gasoline = $4 per gallon
Price of kerosene = $3.50 per gallon
Processed gasoline in May = 500,000
Processed kerosene in May = 600,000
Allocation of joint cost(Gasoline) = (Total cost × share ratio)
Share ratio = further processing cost of component ÷ total further processing cost
[$1,800,000 × ( 100000 ÷ 300000)]
($1,800,000 × 0.33333333) = 599,999.999
Net realizable value = (Final sales price - processing cost)
[ $(500,000×4) - $600,000]
$2,000,000 - $600,000
$1,400,000
Production cost of gasoline is $1,400,000
The first facility consideration is to determine _______________________________. a. how close to source it should be. b. the size of each operation within the network. c. how close to the customer it should be. d. where competitors are located.
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
The first facility consideration is to determine the size of each operation within the network, this is to ensure that the facility where operations will be profitable to the business.
After determining the layout of the operations, attention is then shifted to the facility size of the operations within the distribution operation. Product handling functions include both receiving and shipping.
Answer:
B) the size of each operation within the network.
Explanation:
In facility management, the focus is set on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the productive or support processes that are going to be carried out within a new facility. The demand and supply of the services or products offered by the facility must be analyzed in order to determine the optimal size of the facility.
For example, a company must determine the size of a new productive facility (factory) in order to meet the increase in demand of some product. If the factory is too large, there will be too much spare productive capacity, but if it is too small, it will not be able to meet the output demands.
This same concept applies to NIMS facility services, where the support facilities must have the right size to work properly, without being too large or too small. If it is too large, it will consume unnecessary resources, but if it's too small it will not be effective.
In an alternative dispute resolution program (ADR), the concerned employee and supervisor have finished the peer review stage and have not reached a settlement. Which of the following is most likely the next stage in the ADR process? A panel of representatives from the same level will hear the case. A neutral third party from outside the organization will hear the case via a nonbinding process. The supervisor will seek legal support from the judiciary. A professional arbitrator from outside the organization will hear the case. The two will meet alone and attempt to arrive at a settlement.
Answer:
A neutral third party from outside the organization will hear the case via a nonbinding process.
Explanation:
Assuming in an alternative dispute resolution program (ADR), the concerned employee and supervisor have finished the peer review stage and have not reached a settlement.
The most likely next stage in the ADR process would be to invite a neutral third party such as a mediator or negotiator from outside the organization, who will hear the case via a nonbinding process.
Real GDP equals $200 billion, the government collects 20% of any increase in real GDP in the form of taxes, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. If the government increases spending by $10 billion, real GDP will increase by:
A) $10 billion.
B) $20 billion.
C) $27.8 billion.
D) $50 billion.
Answer:
If he government increases spending by $10 billion, real GDP will increase by $27.8 billion. The right answer is C.
Explanation:
In order to calculate how much the real GDP will increase, we have to calculate the Expenditure multiplier with the following formula:
Expenditure Multiplier = [1/(1-MPC(1-tax)]
Expenditure Multiplier = [1/(1-0.8(1-0.2)]
Expenditure Multiplier = [1/(1-0.8(0.8)]
Expenditure Multiplier = [1/(0.36)]
Expenditure Multiplier = 2.778
So, an increase in G by $10 billion will increase real GDP by $10 x 2.778 = $27.8 billion.
A regional airline owns 10 aircraft and employs 20 pilots. The airline makes an average of three trips per day with each of its 10 aircraft. The aircraft and their ground crews are idle part of the day. Minimum rest requirements for its pilots mean that if the airline wants to increase its flights, it must hire more pilots. The decision to hire more pilots is:
Answer:
a short-run decision because the number of aircraft is held constant while the labor input is changed.
Explanation:
In the short run, at least one variable or factor of production is fixed and cannot be changed. In the long run, all factors of production can be changed.
In this case, the number of aircraft is the fixed factor of production (capital) while labor is variable because more pilots can be hired. Regulation state that pilots must rest a certain amount of time in between flights, so if you want to increase the amount of flights you need to hire more pilots and cabin crews since regulations do not require planes to rest.
Final answer:
The decision to hire more pilots is necessary for the regional airline to increase its flights and meet the demand. Hiring more pilots allows the airline to expand its operations and potentially increase revenue.
Explanation:
The decision to hire more pilots to increase flights is a strategic decision for the regional airline. Since each aircraft makes an average of three trips per day, there is a limit to the number of flights the airline can offer with its current pilot workforce. If the airline wants to increase its flight frequency, it needs to hire more pilots to comply with the minimum rest requirements. By hiring more pilots, the airline can expand its operations, offer more flights, and potentially increase its revenue.
Currently, our system is characterized by a lack of fit between what the customer wants and what the SCM system is best able to provide. As a result, which of the following would apply? I. The only way to restore fit is for the firm to change the market segment it is going after. II. Unless something is done, our firm will not be the most effective and efficient long-term supplier. III. Any firm can successfully counter such inconsistencies through the use of patents and aggressive advertising. I only. II only. III only. I and II only. I, II, and III.
Answer:
II only
Explanation:
As a result of lack of fit between what the customer wants and what the Supply Chain Management (SCM) system is best able to provide, unless something is done, the firm will not be the most effective and efficient long-term supplier.
The firm has to remove the bottlenecks between what the customer wants and the supply chain management, so as to be the most effective and efficient long-term supplier of goods and services.

Park Co.'s wholly-owned subsidiary, Schnell Corp., maintains its accounting records in Pounds Sterling. Because all of Schnell's branch offices are in Germany, its functional currency is the Euro. Remeasurement of Schnell's 20X8 financial statements resulted in a $7,600 gain, and translation of its financial statements resulted in an $8,100 gain. What amount should Park report as a foreign exchange gain in its other comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 20X8?A. $-0-
B. $7,600
C. $8,100
D. $15,700
Answer:
C) $8,100
Explanation:
A foreign exchange gain happens when one company engages in foreign trade or foreign direct investment and when they convert the foreign currency into domestic money, the final amount is larger than originally expected. This happens because the exchange rate is not fixed, and if the foreign currency appreciated, then a gain will result since more domestic money will be received. On the other hand, if the foreign currency depreciates, this will result in a loss.
You purchased 250 shares of a particular stock at the beginning of the year at a price of $68.12. the stock paid a dividend of $.85 per share, and the stock price at the end of the year was $76.45. required: what was your dollar return on this investment? (do not round intermediate calculations. round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Answer:
$9.18
Explanation:
Return on Investment is the actual profit / gain received on investment. In case of Investment in the stock the dividend and price appreciation is included in the return.
We will calculate the return on the investment in accounts.
Return = Dividend Received + ( Market Price of Stock - Initial price )
Return = Dividend Received + ( Market Price at the end of the year - Price at the beginning of the year )
Return = $0.85 + ( $76.45 - $68.12 )
Return = $0.85 + $8.33
Return = $9.18
If the world price of textiles is higher than Vietnam’s domestic price of textiles without trade, then Vietnam Select one: a. has a comparative advantage in textiles. b. should produce just enough textiles to meet its domestic demand. c. should import textiles. d. should refrain altogether from producing textiles.
Answer:
has a comparative advantage in textiles.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage occurs when a particular country has the capability to produce a particular product at a lower cost than any other country.
If a country is capable of producing a particular product at a reduced cost this will lead to an increase in demand for such product thereby leading to an increase in the revenue.
Vietnam has a comparative advantage in the production of textiles because they are able to produce it at a low opportunity cost.
Answer:
a. has a comparative advantage in textiles.
Explanation:
If the world average price of textiles is higher than the domestic price in Vietnam, it means that Vietnam has a comparative advantage in producing this good, because textiles are cheaper to make in Vietnam than in the average country of the world.
Textiles are cheaper to produce in Vietnam under this scenario either because labor is cheaper, capital is cheaper, or a combination of both. For this reason, Vietnam should produce more textile goods, in other to meet its domestic demand, and to export.
Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is equal to 0.75. If the government lowers tax rates and tax revenue falls by $100 million, then disposable income will increase by________ million and consumption spending will initially increase by ________ million.
Answer:
$100; $75
Explanation:
Given that:
Tax revenue falls by 100 million dollarsmarginal propensity to consume (MPC) is 0.75.Due to the fall in tax revenue, disposable income will increase by the same amount, that is, $100 million.
Consuption spending will initially increase by $75 million, as shown below:
= MPC × tax revenue fall
= 0.75 × $100,000,000 = $75,000,000
Tim and Tammy are updating their financial plan and are concerned that they might not have enough life insurance coverage for their family, which includes two children, ages 4 and 10. They have determined that their annual income is $53,000 and their net worth is now $150,000. What is the amount of life insurance they should carry using the easy method?
Answer:
The amount of life insurance is $259700
Explanation:
Easy method for calculating amount of life insurance is a method for families with both spouses working, in good health, with average debt, and not more than three children. It gives an estimate of 7 years of income at 70%. Using easy method, the formula is given as:
life insurance requirement = Annual income × 7 years × 70%
Given that Annual income = $53000
amount of life insurance = $53000 × 7 years × 70% = $259700
The substitution effect: a) predicts that taxpayers will work harder to pay for consumer products when tax rates increase. b) is one of the effects considered in static forecasting. c) results in the government collecting more aggregate tax revenue than under the income effect. d) is typically more descriptive for taxpayers with lower disposable income. e) None of the choices are correct.
Answer:
Option E. None of the choices are correct.
Explanation:
The substitution effect refers to the situation whereby there is a decrease in sales for a particular product due to the fact that consumers are switching to cheaper alternatives when its price rises.
The substitution effect arises purely out of the need for consumers to be frugal. If a producer raises the price of their commodities, some consumers will opt for a cheaper alternative. For example, if beef prices go up, many consumers will switch to chicken.
A manufacturer can also experience the substitution effect when faced with a price hike for an essential raw material needed for production, he/she may switch to cheaper resources.

If a bond portfolio manager believes __________. Group of answer choices A. in market efficiency, he or she is likely to be a passive portfolio manager D. A and B B. that he or she can accurately predict interest rate changes, he or she is likely to be an active portfolio manager C. that he or she can identify bond market anomalies, he or she is likely to be a passive portfolio manager
Answer:
A. in market efficiency, he or she is likely to be a passive portfolio manager D. A and B B. that he or she can accurately predict interest rate changes, he or she is likely to be an active portfolio manager
Explanation:
If a bond portfolio manager believes in market efficiency, he or she is likely to be a passive portfolio manager; and if he or she can accurately predict interest rate changes, he or she is likely to be an active portfolio manager.
Final answer:
A bond portfolio manager who believes in market efficiency will likely adopt a passive management approach, whereas one who thinks they can predict interest rate changes or spot anomalies will opt for an active management style. These styles affect how mutual funds and other investments are handled, with portfolio investments being more liquid and potentially less involved than foreign direct investments.
Explanation:
If a bond portfolio manager believes in market efficiency, he or she is likely to be a passive portfolio manager, which means they invest with the assumption that it is difficult to outperform the market consistently through active management due to markets being efficient and thus, prices reflecting all available information. On the other hand, if the manager believes that he or she can accurately predict interest rate changes, or identify bond market anomalies, he or she is likely to be an active portfolio manager. Active managers make investment decisions based on market trends, economic conditions, and other factors with the goal of outperforming the market average or a specific benchmark.
Understanding these concepts is essential when considering investments in mutual funds, which are professionally managed investment programs. They offer advantages such as liquidity and the potential for diversified portfolios, which aim to provide increased expected returns without a proportional increase in risk, although they can be costly. The contrast between portfolio investments and foreign direct investments (FDI) exemplifies the different strategies and timelines investors may use. Portfolio investments can be liquidated much faster than FDIs, which may involve managerial responsibilities and longer-term plans.

What is not a criterion that influences manufacturing plant or warehouse facility location decisions?
Answer:
Historical cost
Explanation:
Historical cost is a cost recorded in a company's book at the original value it was purchased, thus not considered as a factor that influences manufacturing location. Example of historical cost is original value of an asset (like the land where the warehouse facility will be located)which is recorded in the company's records.
The following are criterion that influences manufacturing plant or warehouse facility location decisions;
- Labour quality: The quality of labour in an area determines if an industry will be established in that area.
-Business climate: Another factor to be considered is the business climate. Is the location good enough for business activities?
-Proximity to consumers: Owners of companies also consider how close their firm would be to the buyers before they choose certain location for the establishment of their business.
-Country's infrastructure: Some foreign firms consider if the local country they want to invest in has necessary infrastructure before they make their decisions.
-Others are Suppliers, Tariffs and customs duty etc.
