Answer:

D. higher profits will induce expanded production.

Explanation:

If the price of a good increases and the cost remains the same ,profits earned would increase.

For example if price of a pen was initially $5 and rose to $7. The cost of making a pen is $3. Total profit would rise from $2 to $4.

According to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the. quantity supplied. Therefore, the higher price would attract more producers and production would increase. Existing producers would also increase output.

I hope my answer helps you.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$38,970= allocated overhead

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

direct labor cost totaled $13,230

direct labor cost was 45% of prime cost.

The total manufacturing costs in May were $81,600.

The prime cost is calculated summing the direct material and direct labor cost.

<u>First, we need to calculate the direct material cost:</u>

Direct material= (13,230*100)/45= 29,400

Prime costs= 29,400 + 13,230= 42,630

Now, we can calculate the allocated overhead:

total manufacturing costs= direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead

81,600= 42,630 + allocated overhead

38,970= allocated overhead

Assume that the economy has three types of people. 20% are fad followers, 75% are passive investors and 5% are informed traders.
mojhsa [17]

Answer: a. 11.5%

Explanation:

Fad followers are those investors who follow a trend when it emerges and as such their betas will be less than that of informed traders because the informed traders would have acted first.

Using the Capital Asset Pricing Model to calculate expected return.

Er = Rf + b( Rm - Rf)

Er = Expected return

Rf = Risk Free Rate

b = Beta

Rm = Market Return.

The Expected Return for the Informed Investors is,

= 4% + 1.4 ( 10% - 4%)

= 4% + 1.4 ( 6%)

= 12.4%

With the Fad followed expected to have a lower beta and therefore a lower expected return than the Informed Investors, the only suitable option is the 11.5%.

Suppose that the investment demand curve in a certain economy is such that investment declines by $130 billion for every 1 perce
AlekseyPX

Answer:

50 billion

Explanation:

Investment declines by $130 billion for every 1 percentage point increase in the real interest rate.

Decline in Investment because of higher real interest rate:

= 2 × 100

= $200 billion

Increase in Investment because of higher expected rate of return:

= 1 × 150

= 150 billion

Total decline in investment:

= -200 + 150

= 50 billion

Therefore, 50 billion of investment will be crowding out.
