Answer: surplus, revaluing, deficit, devaluing.
Explanation: Revaluation of a currency is the official increase in value of a currency in relation to a foreign currency in a fixed international exchange rate system.
Therefore a country with a surplus Balance of Payment will have the bargaining power to achieve a revaluation of its currency. This will translate to increase in the BOP of the country because of the increased value of its currency.
However, a devaluation is the decrease in value of a currency, and this is what a country does when it encounters a BOP deficit.
Answer:
Under an international regime of fixed exchange rates, countries with a BOP SURPLUS should consider REVALUING their currency while countries with a BOP DEFICIT should consider DEVALUING their currency.
Explanation:
The advantage of a free floating currency exchange is that the balance of payments (BOP) will always be 0. That means that the currency exchange rate automatically adjusts to surpluses by appreciating the currency, while a deficit generates a depreciation of the currency.
When the exchange rate is fixed, several problems can occur, either by having a currency with a lower than normal value, or having a currency with a higher than normal value. The problem with fixed exchange rates is that adjustments aren't smooth and tend to very large and sudden.
We can use Argentina during the 1990s as an example. During more than a decade the Argentinean peso was pegged to the US dollar and it was worth exactly $1 per peso. At the beginning this high value of the peso helped the economy grow and stabilize from a rampant hiperinflation that had depressed the country's economy. So everyone was happy at least for a few years, but then the economy couldn't keep up its growth rate and their exports started to decrease due to high cost of manufacturing. Argentina's exports costed dollars while other Latin countries had costs in local currencies that were worth less than the dollar. Once the BOP's deficit got so large, Argentina had to devaluate its currency form 1 peso per $1, to more than 4 pesos per $1 in just one day.
For determinant differences to exist, actual or perceptual differences must exist between brands. And the brand difference must be important to customers as they decide which brand to purchase. A. True B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
If the brands do not have any actual or perceptual differences, then, the brands do not have any determinant differences and are essentially the same.
For example, if two competing firms offer the same kind of milk, and the branding of the box is similar, and customers believe that both brands are perfect substitutes for each other (they feel that is the same to buy either one or the other), then, the two milk brands do not have any determinant differences.
Jack gratuated from college last month, but he has not yet started looking for a job. Jack is:__________.1. Frictionally unemployed.2. Structurally unemployed.3. A discouraged worker and is part of the unemployment statistic. 4. Not part of the labor force and is not counted in the unemployment rate.
Answer:4. Not part of the labor force and is not counted in the unemployment rate.
Explanation:Not everyone who is out of work is unemployed. In order to be counted as unemployed you have to be out of work, looking for work, and able to accept a job if one is offered to you. If you are out of work and not looking, then you are considered “not in the labor force” rather than unemployed.
Someone who does not have a job but claims he is not looking for one is considered out of the labor force and is not counted in the unemployment rate.
You can spend $10 for lunch and you would like to purchase two cheeseburgers. When you get to the restaurant, you find out the price for cheeseburger has increased from $5 to $6, so you decide to purchase just one cheeseburger. This is best described as:
Α. the substitution effect of a price change
B. the income effect of a price change
C. a decrease in the buyer's reservation price.
D. an increase in the buyer's reservation price.
Answer: income effect of a price change.
Explanation: The income effect is known as the effect on real income when price changes, it can however be positive or negative. The income effect expresses the impact of increased purchasing power on consumption.
In this scenario, spending $10 for lunch, and you would like to purchase two cheeseburgers. When you get to the restaurant, you find out the price for cheeseburger has increased from $5 to $6, so you decide to purchase just one cheeseburger, this scenario best illustrates the income effect of a price change.
The decrease in consumption due to the rise in the price of cheeseburgers represents the income effect of a price change. This is a result of reduced purchasing power caused by the price increase.
Explanation:In this scenario, your decision to purchase only one cheeseburger due to the increase in price is best described as B. the income effect of a price change. This is because the income effect describes the change in consumption resulting from a change in real income. In this case, an increase in the price of the cheeseburger effectively reduces your buying power for this particular meal, thus diminishing your consumption from two cheeseburgers to one.

Probable loss contingency $1,500,000; Reasonably possible loss contingency 500,000; Probable gain contingency 700,000; Reasonably possible gain contingency 300,000.
Potter's accountant believes the financial statements will be misleading if the probable loss contingency is not disclosed. How much should be disclosed, and how much should be accrued in Potter's financial statements for the current year?
A. Disclosed $1,000,000 gain
Accrued $1,500,000 loss & $500,000 loss
B. Disclosed $500,000 loss & $1,000,000 gain
Accrued$1,500,000 loss & $700,000 gain
C. Disclosed $2,000,000 loss & $1,000,000 gain
Accrued $1 ,500,000 loss
D. Disclosed $500,000 loss & $300,000 gain
Accrued $1,500,000 loss
Answer:
Option C Disclosed $2,000,000 loss & $1,000,000 gain
Accrued $1 ,500,000 loss
Explanation:
All the gains that are certain which means that are more than 95% chances of gain then it must be realized as gain otherwise it must be ignored. In this case, there is no gain that is reasonably certain. So the realized gain amount is zero. On the other hand, the liabilities must be realized when the chances of occurrence of the outcome is probable or certain which in this case is $1,500,000 and must be recognized as increase in liability.
Furthermore, the gains which are reasonably probable and possible gains must be disclosed in the financial statement. In this case the probable and possible gain are $700,000 and $300,000. This means that the amount $1,000,000 must be recognized as possible gain. And on the other hand, possible and probable losses must be disclosed in the financial statement which in this case are $1,500,000 probable losses and $500,000 possible losses. So the amount that must be disclosed as losses are $2,000,000.
For each of the following examples, indicate whether the transaction would be included in the gross investment component of GDP, and if so, indicate which category it would be included. a.

When a customer places an order (on account) for a certain product, what should be done before the order is checked for inventory availability? The customer's available credit should be checked. The sales order should be created and written to a file. Shipping should be notified of an order in process. A picking list should be generated for the warehouse.
Answer:
The correct answer is The customer's available credit should be checked.
Explanation:
A credit is a financing operation where a person called 'creditor' (usually a financial entity), lends a certain monetary figure to another, called 'debtor', who from then on, guarantees the creditor that he will return this requested amount in the previously stipulated time plus an additional amount, called 'interest'.
According to some authors in economics, credit represents a change that acts in time, rather than in space, so it is also considered "to alternate money from the present, for money in the future." The word derives from the Latin credititus, which means ‘trust’, therefore, a credit is the right of the creditor to receive from the debtor, the amount borrowed.

There are three elements in any integrated marketing communication strategy: the message, the channels through which the message is communicated, and evaluation of the results of the communication. In the context of integrated marketing communications (IMC), the message refers to the information or content that the organization wishes to convey to its target audience. This is a crucial component, as it encapsulates the goals and intentions behind the communication effort. The planning stage, as part of the social marketing model, is where the message goals are established, underlining the importance of a well-defined message in achieving the desired response from the audience.
The channels through which the message is communicated represent the medium or platforms used to reach the target audience, such as social media, television ads, or email marketing. Effective selection and use of these channels are vital for ensuring that the message reaches the intended audience in an efficient and impactful manner. Lastly, the evaluation of the results provides feedback on the effectiveness of the communication strategy, allowing marketers to adjust their approaches based on the outcomes achieved.
Integrating these three elements effectively requires a deep understanding of the target audience, the creation of a compelling and relevant message, strategic selection of communication channels, and a robust mechanism for evaluating outcomes. This approach leverages the marketing mix, which includes decisions about price, promotional activities, location, and sales channels, ensuring consistency and effectiveness in communication efforts.

Suppose the price of pepper increases by 20percent and, as aresult, the quantity of salt demanded (holding the price of salt constant) decreases by 2 percent
The cross-price elasticity of demand between pepper and salt is _____ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places and include a minus sign if appropriate.)
In this example, pepper and salt are _____
Instead, suppose pepper and salt were substitutes.
If so, then the cross-price elasticity of demand between prepper and salt would be:_____.
1. Less than 1 but greater than 0
2. Negative
3. Greater than 1
4. Positive
5. Zero
Answer:
The cross-price elasticity of demand between pepper and salt is -0.10
In this example, pepper and salt are complements
Instead, suppose pepper and salt were substitutes.
If so, then the cross-price elasticity of demand between prepper and salt would be: positive
Explanation:
The cross-price elasticity of demand will determinate how the effect of a complement or substitute prices impact on another good.
ΔQx / ΔPy = cross-price elasticity
(change in price of good X dividied by the change in price of good Y)
-0.02 / 0.20 = -0.1
They will be complement as the increase in price decrease the demand of the other good thus, the consumer uses these goods mutually not exclusively.
When positive, the goods are substitutes they compete among each other. Hence, price and quality variation moves consumers from one market into another (from salt to pepper or viceversa) when the price rises in one of them
Answer:
-0.1 %
Complements
Positive
Explanation:
The cross price elasticity of demand can be calculated by:
Cross-price elasticity of demand = %change in quantity demanded / %change in price
Cross-price elasticity of demand = -2/ 20 = -1/10 = -0.1 %
The cross-price elasticity of demand between pepper and salt is 0.1 %
In this example, pepper and salt are complements which means when the price of salt increases than there will be a decrease in the demand of pepper.
if pepper and salt were substitutes then cross-price elasticity of demand between pepper and salt would be positive since when two goods are substitutes then an increase in the price of x, causes an increase in the demand of y.
Poweroxi Inc. produces rocket propellant fuel that is used in space shuttles. NASA is an agency that requires rocket propellant fuel to send its rockets to space. NASA enters into a contract with Poweroxi Inc. to purchase all of the propellant fuel it will need that year from Poweroxi. What would this contract be an example of?
Answer:
requirements contract
Explanation:
A requirements contract is a contract between a supplier and a buyer for the provision of a specific product or service where the supplier agrees to provide all the quantity of goods that the buyer might require, and the buyer agrees to only purchase that specific good from that supplier. It is like engaging in a relationship with your vendor, where you can only purchase the good from him and he must provide all the goods that you may need.
Final answer:
The contract between NASA and Poweroxi Inc. is an example of a requirements contract, where NASA would purchase all of its needed rocket propellant fuel from Poweroxi Inc. for a year, reflecting the close relationship and reliance on the supplier's ability to provide fuel that is crucial for space missions.
Explanation:
The contract between NASA and Poweroxi Inc. for the purchase of all the propellant fuel required by NASA for a year would be an example of a requirements contract. This type of agreement obligates NASA to buy the propellant fuel exclusively from Poweroxi Inc. for the duration of the contract, and in turn, Poweroxi Inc. is required to fulfill all of NASA's needs for the propellant fuel.
Such contracts are common in situations where a buyer needs a guaranteed supply of products, and they allow suppliers to plan their production and inventory more efficiently. This contractual arrangement also demonstrates the trusted relationship and reliance NASA has on Poweroxi Inc. for providing the necessary rocket propellant fuel essential for space missions, and how crucial the production of this fuel is, involving complex chemical reactions and precise stoichiometry to produce the required thrust.

0.07X + 0.15Y = 2000 ( Eq 02 )
By multiplying ( Eq 01 ) with 3
3X + 3Y = 51,000 ( Eq 03 )
By multiplying ( Eq 02 ) with 20
1.4X + 3Y = 40000 ( Eq 04 )
By subtracting ( Eq 04 ) from ( Eq 03 )
3X + 3Y - (1.4X + 3Y) = 51,000 - 40,000
3X + 3Y - 1.4X - 3Y = 11,000
1.6X= 11,000
X = 11,000 / 1.6
X = 6,875
Placing Value of X in ( Eq 01 )
6,875 + Y = 17000
Y = 17000 - 6,875
Y = 10,125
Check:
0.07(6,875) + 0.15(10,125) = 2000
481.25 + 1,518.75 = 2,000
2,000 = 2,000
So
Amount of Loan @ 7% = X = $6,875

The added value that a certain product has by virtue of its brand name (in other words, the value of the product with a brand mark compared with a generic product of the same quality) is called __________.
Answer:
brand equity
Explanation:
Brand equity refers to the commercial value added to one product or service by the customer's perception of its brand. Some brands have a higher brand equity and customers perceive them as high quality or luxury products, e.g. Mercedes Benz or Apple. While other brands are perceived as common or ordinary products with medium or low quality.
Two products may be identical or very similar, but the fact that a product's brand may be perceived as better than the other, allows a company to charge a higher price for it.
