A decrease in the money supply may __________ total expenditures and thus __________ aggregate demand.
Answer:
Lower; lower.
Explanation:
The Federal Reserve System ( popularly referred to as the 'Fed') was created by the Federal Reserve Act, passed by the U.S Congress on the 23rd of December, 1913. The Fed began operations in 1914 and just like all central banks, the Federal Reserve is a United States government agency.
The buying and selling of bonds government owned by the Federal Reserve (Fed) is generally referred to as open market sales.
An open market sale of U.S. Treasury securities by the Fed will cause the Banking System's balance sheet not to show a net change in liabilities or assets but only a change in the composition of assets with securities increasing while causing a decrease in the reserves of thecountry.

Andrew found a stone in his yard and took it to Brad, a jeweler, for evaluation. Although Brad knew what the stone was, he told Andrew that he wasn't sure as to the nature of the stone, but that he thought it was a saphire. Brad then offered to buy the stone for $50 and Andrew agreed. Later Andrew found out the stone was an uncut blue diamond worth about $10,000. The sale:
Answer: c. can be voided based upon fraud in the inducement .
Explanation:
Brad knew exactly what kind of stone it was that Andrew had and yet proceeded to lie about it in order to induce a sale at a much lower price than the actual worth of the jewel .
The contract is therefore voidable because the Brad committed fraud by lying and obtaining the diamond at $50 under false pretenses. Andrew should therefore drag him to the Courts of law to face justice.
For a downward-sloping demand curve, all other things remaining constant, a rightward shift of the supply curve _____
Answer:
Increase equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would fall
Explanation:
A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.
Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :
1. A change in the price of input
2. A change in the number of suppliers
3. Government regulations
Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demand equal quantity supplied.
If there is a rightward shift of the supply curve, it means that there is an increase in supply. As a result, there would be an increase equilibrium quantity and equilibrium price would fall.
Skipper’s Pet Products was started by Steve to sell a range of dog food and treats made from fish. Due to fish being a very perishable product, different methods are used to preserve the life and quality of the product. Arguably, the best method, albeit the most labour intensive and time-consuming, is to dry the fish over several days. This process maintains the nutritional content of the fish, which is often lost using other methods, and it is this that enables Skipper’s to offer a product with a clear USP.
The company is based in Steve’s hometown of Grimsby and he is proud of the local fishing heritage. The fish used in Skipper’s products is sourced from the docks in Grimsby or nearby Hull. Steve says the location of the business means that raw materials and qualified labour are easy to source.
Skipper’s Pet Products have lots of competition, but the competitors buy low quality fish
in China and cook the treats at high temperatures which removes some nutrients so they
are not high quality, healthy dog treats like Skipper’s treats.
The company website allows Skipper’s to sell their dog treats to customers all over the UK. The website sales are increasing each month and generate a larger profit margin than Skipper’s sales to pet shops.
question: Evaluate whether locating Skipper’s close to raw materials was the most important
factor Steve should have considered when choosing a location for his business.
You should use your knowledge of the business as well as the information provided
Answer: Yes it was
Explanation:
When considering where you should set up location, it is best to look at the cost of locating your business from various perspectives such as raw material acquisition, transport to suppliers, transport to customers and accessibility.
Depending on the business, some factors would have to be given more weight. In the above scenario, raw material acquisition and transport from suppliers should be given a higher weight because the goods are perishable and so costs would be high if the location is too far from the source of the fish.
Given that technology has made it easier to sell from many places, transport to customers is not as major a factor as transport to suppliers. The most important factor to focus on for this business therefore is raw material acquisition and by locating the company so close to the source, the cost to acquire the raw material from suppliers was heavily reduced so this was the best option.

the world price of a good or service is below the equilibrium price of that good or service, the country being analyzed will ______________________ (import, export) the good or service. As a result, consumer surplus ______________________ (increases, decreases), and producer surplus ______________________ (increases, decreases). Total surplus ______________________ (increases, de
Answer:
import
increases
decreases
unchanged
Explanation:
If the world price of a good or service is below the equilibrium price of that good or service, it means that the world is more efficient in the production of that good. So, the country being analysed should import the good.
If the country imports the good, prices would fall. As a result, consumer surplus increases and the producer surplus decreases. total surplus remains unchanged
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Total surplus = Consumer surplus + Producer surplus
A company calculated the predetermined overhead based on an estimated overhead of $70,000, and the activity for the cost driver was estimated as 2,500 hours. If Product A utilized 1,350 hours and Product B utilized 1,100 hours, what was the amount of overhead assigned to the products
Answer:
$68,600
Explanation:
Activity Based Overhead Rates = Estimated Overhead / Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Activity (Hours)
Activity Based Overhead Rates = $70,000 / 2,500
Activity Based Overhead Rates = $28
Overhead Assigned = Overhead Rate * Hours Utilized
Product A Overhead Assigned = $28 * 1,350 hours
Product A Overhead Assigned = $37,800
Product B Overhead Assigned = $28 * 1,100 hours
Product B Overhead Assigned = $30,800
Total Overhead Assigned = Product A Overhead Assigned + Product B Overhead Assigned
Total Overhead Assigned = $37,800 + $30,800
Total Overhead Assigned = $68,600

Suppose 1,000 students were split into two groups of 500. Both groups were first presented with an image of a new high-end pair of jeans produced by Tommy Hilfiger, a clothing company. The first group was given the following statement and then asked the following question: "The normal retail price of these jeans is $100. Would you be willing to pay $75 for them?" The second group was given the following statement and then asked the following question: "The normal retail price of these jeans is $250. Would you be willing to pay $75 for them?" Suppose that 24% of the students in the first group answered yes and that 73% of the students in the second group answered yes.
