In Rovamia, a developing country, companies often had to compromise on quality and cost earlier to make their products affordable to consumers. However, with the increase in per capita income of the country, companies can now maintain the quality of their products without lowering price. Identify a factor that best describes the reason for this shift in Rovamia.
Answer:
economic growth
Explanation:
Here are the options
Ethical growth
Cultural evolution
Political clash
Economic growth
Economic growth can be described as the rise in the real gross domestic product of an economy overtime. It is the increase in the wealth of a nation overtime.
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
Per capita income = real GDP / population
per capita GDP measures the standard of living of people in a country. The higher the per capita income, the higher GDP is and the higher the standard of living is.
If per capita income of Rovamia increases, it means that the gross domestic product has also increased and economic growth has occurred.

Answer:
This action is legal and ethical (except for communal property sales)
Explanation:
Scenarios do occur where one borrower brings down the entire loan filed. if the other borrower can take on the loan burden, then there is a way.
Absolutely nothing wrong with finding a way to qualify your borrowers request for a loan as long as they are ok with it. Most of the money in the joint assets account belongs to the non-borrower. The lender requires two months of bank statements as therefore, documentation is needed by the lender that requires you to disclose and document deposits for the borrower and non-borrower.
This method cannot work in a communal property state
Consider the needs of the market. Often businesses and individuals decide to specialize in a product or service. Conduct brief research on the Internet to identify specialization and an example of specialization in the market. List the example below, and in one or two sentences explain what specialization is and how your example represents it. Your final sentence should explain how both the seller and buyer gain from this specialization. Upload your findings below.
Answer: These address the needs of the market and creates a place for the service provider in same market
Explanation:
I'll explain this specialization aspect with a business model.
The business model I would use is a car wash business. The normal traditional car wash business has a people get their car washed along the road by anyone just to look clean, but the model I'll present is that which is different where cars are given detailed washing from customer service to quality services; the water used is treated, the finest of soap is applied all at an affordable price. If we examine this from the traditional car wash we'd realize it's different and this is far better.
These address the needs of the market and creates a place for the service provider in same market

Roger Company sold machinery for a total price of $20,000 to be paid in four equal installments, plus interest. The first payment was made in the current year. The original cost of the machinery was $12,000 and $8,000 of depreciation had been taken on it. Ignoring interest income, what amount of income must Roger Company recognize in the current year under the installment method for this sale
Answer:
$8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount must Roger recognize in the current year
Since total gain is $16,000 calculated using this formula
Total gain=Selling price-Basis
Total gain=$20,000-$4,000
Total gain=16,000
Which means that he must recognize the complete $8,000 . Hence, the revised gain of $8,000 will be the ORDINARY INCOME in the current year which is calculated as:
Ordinary Income=Selling price-Adjusted basis
Ordinary Income=$20,000-$12,000
Ordinary Income=$8,000
Lastly is to determine The gross profit percentage of which will be applied to each using this formula
Gross profit percentage=Gross profit ÷Contract price
Gross profit percentage=$8,000 ÷ $20,000
Gross profit percentage=40%
Hence, the CAPITAL GAIN for the current year will be:
Capital gain = [($20,000 ÷ 4) × 40%]
Capital gain=$2,000
Therefore the amount that Roger must recognize in the current year is $8,000 ordinary income and $2,000 capital gain.
Oriole Inc. reported total assets of $6392000 and net income of $500000 for the current year. Oriole determined that inventory was understated by $137000 at the beginning of the year and $58900 at the end of the year. Ignoring income taxes, what is the corrected amount for total assets and net income for the year
Answer:
Income = $421900
Assets = $6450900
Explanation:
Given below are the following calculation:
The net impact of assets = 137000 - 58900 = 78100
Deduct this amount from current year income = 500000 - 78100 = $421900
When closing stock is understated by 58900 then total assets value will decrease so add this amount = 639200 + 58900 = 6450900
Wally is trying to determine how many salespeople he needs to satisfy the demand for waterslides. Wally's Waterslide World has 6000 customers with a call frequency of 5 times per year. The average length of a sales call is 90 minutes and each salesperson has 20 hours a week, 45 weeks a year available to make these calls. How many salespeople does Wally need to adequately sell waterslides
Answer:
50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How many Number of Salespeople does Wally need to adequately sell waterslides
Using this formula
Number of Salespeople=(Number of customers*Calls necessary*Hours per call)/Average selling time available per year
Let plug in the formula
Number of Salespeople= (6000* 5 * 1.5 hours per call) / 900 hours
Number of Salespeople= 45,000 / 900
Number of Salespeople=50
Therefore Number of Salespeople that Wally need to adequately sell waterslides is ,50

This gives the employer the chance to get quality staff based on recommendation of trusted persons.
Other ways of staff sourcing such as job boards, search engines, and social networks are not as effective as personal networking and referrals.
Identify the correct statement. Group of answer choices An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve. An increase in the price level in an economy will increase the real value of dollar-denominated assets. An increase in the price level in an economy will shift the aggregate demand curve rightward. An increase in the price level in an economy will shift the aggregate expenditure line upward. An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the equilibrium level of output demanded.
Answer:
An increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
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.
In order to understand both short-run economic fluctuations and how the economy move from short to long run, we need the aggregate supply and aggregate demand model.
Aggregate demand (AD) can be defined as the total quantity of output (final goods and services) that is demanded by consumers at all possible price levels in an economy at a particular time.
Generally, an increase in the price level in an economy will decrease the real GDP demanded along the aggregate demand curve.
Additionally, an economy's aggregate demand curve shifts rightward or leftward by more than changes in initial spending because of the multiplier effect. Also, an increase in stock prices that increases consumer wealth will most likely shift the aggregate demand curve to the right.
Lastly, a change in price level would not shift the aggregate demand curve (AD curve).

No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits. C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater. D. No, he should shift consumption toward and away from to maximize total benefits.'
Answer:
The correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete because some important figures and points are missing in it. These figures and points are therefore provided to complete the question before answering it as follows:
Charley spends all of his income on soft drinks and pizza. Suppose he is currently buying these products in amounts such that his marginal benefit from an additional soft drink is $100 and his marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza is $110. If the price of a soft drink is $2 and the price of a slice of pizza is $3, is Charley maximizing his total benefits?
A. No, he should increase his consumption of both goods.
B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
C. Yes, there is no other consumption choice that will make his total benefits greater.
D. No, he should shift consumption toward pizza and away from soft drinks to maximize total benefits.'
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Under utility maximization theory, the condition for the utility or benefit maximization for two goods is as follows:
MBs / Ps = MBp / Pp ……………………………. (1)
Where:
MBs = Marginal benefit from an additional soft drink = $100
MBp = Marginal benefit from an additional slice of pizza =$110
Ps = Price of a soft drink = $2
Pp = Price of a slice of pizza = $3
Subtitling the relevant values, we have:
MBs / Ps = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft drinks = $100 / $2 = 50
MBp / Pp = Marginal utility per dollar spent on soft pizza = $110 / $3 = 36.67
This implies that 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67
The decision rule is that the limited money income should be spent by a consumer on the good which gives the higher marginal utility per dollar in order to maximize marginal benefit.
Since 50 = MBs / Ps > MBp / Pp = 36.67 above, this implies that Charley is NOT maximizing his total benefits. To maximize his total benefits, Charley should consume more of soft drinks and less of pizza until the condition is consistent with equation (1).
Therefore, the correct option is B. No, he should shift consumption toward soft drinks and away from pizza to maximize total benefits.
