Answer:
the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.
Explanation:
In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.
The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time.
If the United States imports more than it exports, then this means that the supply of dollars is likely to exceed the demand in the foreign exchange market, ceteris paribus.
Generally, when import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account of the country.
Hence, a deficit on the current account is because the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.
Answer: $380,000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that New Jersey Company owns 80% of the common stock of Newark, Inc. In 2012, New Jersey reported sales of $300,000, and Newark reported sales of $100,000, including sales to New Jersey of $20,000.
Based on the above information, the amount of sales that should be reported in the consolidated income statement for 2012 will be:
$300000 + $100000 - $20,000
= $380000
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": an increase in the bargaining power of suppliers of a critical input.
Explanation:
Porter's Five (5) Forces is an analysis scheme created by Harvard School Professor Michael E. Porter (<em>born in 1947</em>). The ultimate goal of this analysis is to help managers set their expectations because profitability decreases as competition increases. Three of the five forces relate to industry (horizontal) participants - <em>the threat of substitutes established rivals, and new entrants</em>. The other two relate to the vertical participants - <em>the bargaining of suppliers and consumers</em>.
In the case, as airline fuel suppliers are consolidating, this would represent the bargaining of suppliers factor in Porter's theory. They could joint to decide quantities supplied or even prices.
Answer:
Marginal cost: $13.70
Missing question:
Additional cost from increasing their output by one unit.

Variable administrative expense $ 0.50
Total variable cost: $13.70
producing an additional unit will genrate marginal cost for $13.70
Answer:
The correct answer is A. The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed on the surface of Mars because one program output thrust in terms of foot-pounds, and another program expected thrust to be expressed in terms of newtons.
Explanation:
The Mars Climate Orbiter was NASA’s unsuccessful mission to study the Martian climate, part of the Mars Surveyor 98 program. The MCO was created as a satellite-translator for the Mars Polar Lander lander, and after the latter ceased to function, it was supposed to study the Martian climate.
The Mars Climate Orbiter was destroyed when a navigation error caused the probe to be improperly elevated as it entered orbit. The vehicle was destroyed by the friction and stresses in Mars' atmosphere. An investigation showed that some data for the rocket system were calculated in English units (pound-force-second) while the navigation team expected SI units (Newton-second).
