Answer:

Explanation:

1. Assuming an economy is experiencing a sharp and prolonged inflationary trend, I'll recommend the following changes:

a. Reserve ratio: I will increase the reserve ratio.

b. Discount rate: I will increase the discount rate.

c. Open market operations: I will recommend tightening the money supply through the selling of more government bonds.

2a. The reserve requirement is the central bank regulation which sets the minimum amount of reserves which must be held by a commercial bank. An increase in the reserve ratio will lead to less money in circulation.

b. the money supply: Thhe money supply will contract i.e tighten

c. Interest rates: Interest rates will rise leading to an increase in the investments which keeps money out of circulation and also lead to a decrease in inflation rates.

d. Aggregate demand. Aggregate demand would reduce, and this would lead to a reduction in inflation.

"One of the problems with price competition is that price decreases by one competitor are easily observed by other competitors.
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": A price war.

Explanation:

A price war is a situation in which competitors undercut prices to offer their products at a lower level than their rivals so they can attract more consumers. Manufacturers find ways to cut their costs so they can stay profitable under these circumstances. If they are unable to do that, the company will end up with losses.

Suppose the market for gourmet chocolate is in long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has reduced consumer discretionary
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Decrease

b. Decline

c. Exit

d. No change

Explanation:

The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.

a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.

b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.

c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.

d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.

MJ LTD is expected to grow at various rates over the next five years. The company just paid a $1.00 dividend. The company expect
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$21.859

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Present Value = D0 × (1 + growth rate)^time ÷ (1 + Required Rate of Return)^time period

1st Year PV = $1 × (1 + 0.20)^1 ÷ (1+ 0.12)^1

                  = 1.20 ÷ 1.12

                 = 1.071

2nd Year PV = $1 × (1 + 0.20)^2 ÷ (1+ 0.12)^2

                   = $1 × (1.44) ÷ 1.254

                  = $1.148

3rd Year PV = $1 × ( 1 + 0.20)^2 × (1 + 0.10) ÷ (1 + 0.12)^3

                    = $1 × (1.44) × (1.10) ÷ 1.405

                     = $1.127

4th Year PV = $1 × ( 1 + 0.20)^2 × (1 + 0.10)^2 ÷ ( 1 +0.12)^4

                    = $1 × (1.44) × (1.21) ÷ 1.574

                     = $1.107

5th Year PV = $1 × (1 + 0.20)^2 × ( 1 +0.10)^3 ÷ (1 + 0.12)^5

                     = $1 × (1.44) × (1.331) ÷ 1.762

                     = $1.088

6th Year PV = $1 × (1 + 0.20)^2 × (1 + .10)^3 × (1.05) ÷ [(0.12 - 0.05) × (1+.12)^5]

= $1 × (1.44) × (1.331) × (1.05) ÷ (0.07) ×  (1.762)

= $2.012 ÷ 0.1233

= $16.318

Now

Share’s Current Value is

= $1.071 + $1.148 + $1.127 + $1.107 + $1.088 + $16.318

= $21.859

We simply applied the above formula

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Direct material price variance= $1,200 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Standard price= $8 per gallon

Last month, 3,000 gallons of direct materials were purchased for $22,800.

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Actual price= 22,800/3,000= $7.6 per gallon

Direct material price variance= (8 - 7.6)*3,000= $1,200 favorable
