Answer: supply shock that caused a leftward shift of the short-run aggregate supply curve
Explanation:
One of the main causes of the 1974 - 1975 recessions was the raising of oil prices and then the subsequent oil embargo on the United States by Arab members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries(OPEC).
OPEC did not like the support that the United States was giving Israel and so placed an embargo on the U.S. such that the U.S. could no longer get much oil from the Middle East which she heavily relied upon.
This reduced the supply of oil drastically to the U.S. and resulted in a supply shock that shifted the short run aggregate supply curve to the left to reflect the fuel scarcity and the effect it had on the economy as production slowed down.

Initial investments contributed to a company are which of the following? A. Shareholder's Capital and Debt B. Debt and Retained Earnings C. Shareholder's Capital and Assets
Answer:
The answer is C. Shareholder's Capital and Assets.
Explanation:
Stockholders' equity, also referred to as shareholders' or owners' equity, is the remaining amount of assets available to shareholders after all liabilities have been paid. It is calculated either as a firm's total assets less its total liabilities or alternatively as the sum of share capital and retained earnings less treasury shares. Stockholders' equity might include common stock, paid-in capital, retained earnings, and treasury stock.
Conceptually, stockholders' equity is useful as a means of judging the funds retained within a business.
Contributed capital, also known as paid-in capital, is the cash and other assets that shareholders have given a company in exchange for stock. Investors make capital contributions when a company issues equity shares based on a price that shareholders are willing to pay for them. The total amount of contributed capital or paid-in-capital represents their stake or ownership in the company.
Contributed capital may also refer to a company's balance sheet item listed under stockholders' equity, often shown alongside the balance sheet entry for additional paid-in capital.
The Philips manufactures electric bulbs that have a length of life that is normally distributed with mean equal to 850 hours and standard deviation of 40 hours. Find the probability that a bulb burns between 780 and 834 hours.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The z score is used to determine by how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. The z score is given by the formula:
[tex]z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\\\where\ x\ is\ the\ raw\ score,\mu\ is\ the \ mean\ and\ \sigma\ is\ the\ standard\ deviation.\\\\Given\ that:\\\\mean(\mu)=850\ hours,\ standard\ deviation(\sigma)=40\ hours[/tex]
For x > 780 hours:
[tex]z=\frac{780-850}{40} \\\\z=-1.75[/tex]
For x < 834 hours:
[tex]z=\frac{834-850}{40} \\\\z=-0.4[/tex]
From the normal distribution table, P(780 < x < 834) = P(-1.75 < z < -0.4) = P(z < -0.4) - P(z < -1.75) = 0.3446 - 0.0401 = 0.3045 = 30.45%
Your business partner feels that it is not important to get the business insured. Explain him the importance of insurance for business.
Answer:
The explanation is below.
Explanation:
Having an insurance for a business transfers the risk to a third party (insurance company).
The importances are as follows:
1. The risk or uncertainty of business losses is minimized. Through the premium paid to the insurance company, if any unforeseen circumstances happen to the business that is covered in the insurance policy, then the insurance company will reimburse the company.
2. Business continuity. Through insurance, any disruption will not lead to the business being folded-up.
3. Collateral for loan. The policy with the insurance company can be used as a collateral to secure a loan in a bank.

If the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) holds, even in the short run, then: Group of answer choices Quoted exchange rates should decrease over time Quoted exchange rates should remain constant over time Real exchange rates should decrease over time Real exchange rates should remain constant over time Real exchange rates should increase over time
Answer:
Real exchange rates should remain constant over time.
Explanation:
Price can be defined as the amount of money that is required to be paid by a buyer (customer) to a seller (producer) in order to acquire goods and services. Thus, it refers to the amount of money a customer or consumer buying goods and services are willing to pay for the goods and services being offered. Also, the price of goods and services are primarily being set by the seller or service provider.
Purchasing power parity (PPP) can be defined as an economic theory of exchange rate determination which states that, the exchange rates between currencies of two different countries are in equilibrium when their price level of a fixed basket of goods and services (purchasing power) are the same.
According to the flexible-price monetary model which was developed by Frenkel and Mussa in 1976, it states that the prices of goods are flexible while the purchasing power parity (PPP) is always constant i.e the real exchange rate is always constant over a specific period of time.
Hence, if the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) holds, even in the short run, then real exchange rates should remain constant over time.

Rita: The original purpose of government farm subsidy programs was to provide income stability for small family farmers. But most farm-subsidy money goes to a few farmers with large holdings. Payments to farmers whose income, before subsidies, is greater than $100,000 a year should be stopped.
Thomas: It would be impossible to administer such a cut-off point. Subsidies are needed during the planting and growing season, but farmers do not know their income for given calendar year until tax returns are calculated and submitted the following April.
Which one of the following, if true, is the strongest counter Rita can make to Thomas' objection?
(A) It has become difficult for small farmers to obtain bank loans to be repaid later by money from subsidies.
(B) Having such a cut-off point would cause some farmers whose income would otherwise exceed $100,000 to reduce their plantings.
(C) The income of a farmer varies because weather and market prices are not stable from year to year.
(D) If subsidy payments to large farmers were eliminated the financial condition of the government would improve.
(E) Subsidy cut-offs can be determined on the basis of income for the preceding year.
Answer: E. Subsidy cut-offs can be determined on the basis of income for the preceding year.
Explanation:
Since Thomas counters Rita's point stating that during the initial part of the season, subsidies are needed. On the other hand, the income for the year will be calculated when the year ends.
To counter Thomas, it should be noted that Rita can say that subsidy cut-offs can be determined on the basis of income for the preceding year.
You are the executive director of the local animal humane society. A staff member you supervise has been working at the society for less than one year. At the 6-month, you discuss with this employee that they seem to have mastered the basic tasks of the job but not the more difficult tasks. You have noticed lately that they seem a bit disillusioned about the job and the process of caring for these animals that seem so sad to be in the facility. Based on the Situational Leadership Approach, which leadership style should you exhibit
Answer: Delegation
Explanation:
Delegation is one of the beauty of leadership. When a leader leads and wants to do everything, those under him would find it growing or come out of their shells but delegation would bring them out of those shell, expose them and expose or display the leader in them.
Another thing delegation does while making people lead is that it makes them value the products, job or organization than how they saw it previously.
As an executive director, I would love to delegate so they take those tough roles important

"Dave, I know that you are trained to work as a chemist and not to solve scheduling problems. But as lab manager, you are a frontline supervisor. You cannot immediately tell your staff to take their problems to higher management," said Quint. "You must first work with your staff to solve the problems. If you are unable to do so, you can consult with higher management. In our bureaucratic firm, we follow the chain of command so that
A. jobs can be redesigned to optimize operation of a new technology."
B. employees have freedom to seek out their preferred managers to solve their problems."
C. mathematical models are used for problem solving."
D. supervisors gain experience in and are accountable for solving problems in their work units.
Answer: D. supervisors gain experience in and are accountable for solving problems in their work units.
Explanation:
A chain of command is necessary in business because it diversifies authority such that decisions can be made faster.
It works by dividing employees into units which will answer to a manager. That manager will make decisions for the unit and this leads to decisions being made faster because everybody wouldn't have to go to upper management when they already have a manager.
Supervisors/ managers of these units are therefore accountable for their units and will gain experience from being so.

AI Tool and Dye issued 8% bonds with a face amount of $160 million on January 1, 2018. The bonds sold for $150 million. For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 9%. Upon issuance, AI elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On June 30, 2018, the fair value of the bonds was $145 million as determined by their market value on the NASDAQ. Will AI report a gain or will it report a loss when adjusting the bonds to fair value? If the change in fair value is attributable to a change in the interest rate, did the rate increase or decrease? Will the gain or loss be reported in net income or as OCI?
Answer and Explanation:
A will report the gain at the time when the bond is adjusted to the fair value as there is a reduction in the far value of the liabilities that occured the gain. In the case when the fair value is changed so there is also the changed in the rate of interest due to this the rate of interest is rised.
Here A would be reported the gain in the net income as there is the change in the rate of interest due to the change in the fair value
In the case when there is the chaneg in the fair value of the bond so this is because of the change in the credit risk and the same should be shown in the statement of the comprehensive income as other comphrensive income

Kilian Company's inventory balance at the end of the current year does not include $10,000 of inventory that was stored in a separate warehouse and accidentally excluded from the physical count. If the error is not discovered, the effect of this error on financial statements in the following year will be: Multiple choice question. overstated net income the financial statement will be correct understated assets, retained earnings, and net income overstated assets, retained earnings and net income
Answer: assets, retained earnings and net income understated
Explanation:
The assets will be understated because inventory is part of assets and if some inventory was not included, the inventory figure would be less than it should be meaning that assets are understated.
Closing inventory is deducted from Cost of Goods sold. If this inventory is not included in the income statement, the Cost of Goods sold would be larger than it should be and would therefore reduce the income more than it should have as it is an expense.
Net income would therefore be understated and this would translate to an understated retained earnings as retained earnings come from net income.

How do margin trades magnify both the upside potential and the downside risk of an investment position?
Answer and Explanation:
Margin trades work this way because they allow them to extend the amount of money invested regardless of whether the security's price drops or rises. In a more simplified way, we can state that the margin trade allows that even if the price of a security goes up or down, the invested money presents a percentage of gain or loss much bigger than the original value. This is because this money was deposited as a loan guarantee, allowing interest to run on it, increasing it.

What are variables used by Honda to segment the market? Why do they use those variables to segment?
Answer and Explanation:
Honda market segmentation is based mainly on three market segmentation factors: demographics, behavioural factors, and psychographic factors. Demographic factors include: income/household income, age, family size etc. Behavioural factors include: purchasing behaviour, buying patterns etc. Psychographic factors include: psychological traits that affect a person's consumption habits, e.g- people that attach prestige to cars, people that prefer expensive cars etc.
Honda makes use of these segments in understanding their market, thereby grouping it's consumers into various segments which share same buying patterns, motivations, interests, or habits. For instance, Honda's market is mostly focused at individuals who do not want pricey cars; cars that are affordable and at the same time durable. This market is mostly made up of middle income individuals, therefore Honda would group these consumers accordingly.
