Answer:
Reciprocity.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a producer in another state wants to become a producer in Louisiana. The other state gives the same privileges to Louisiana producers wanting to be licensed in that state as it does to its own producers. Louisiana, therefore, extends the licensing privileges to the prospective producer of the other state. This is called reciprocity because the state in which the individual (producer) resides accords him or her the same privilege to other individuals (producers) who are residing in Louisiana for fairness and equity.

The primary result of a stock split or stock dividend is: Group of answer choices an increase in the number of common shares outstanding an increase in the common equity account an increase in the market value of common shares a decrease in the number of common shares outstanding an increase in the P/E ratio
Answer:
an increase in the number of common shares outstanding
Explanation:
A stock split is when a company increases the number of its shares outstanding.
for example if a company has 10 million shares outstanding at a price of $20, earning per share is $10 and dividend per share is $0.50. this company announces a 2 for 1 split :
the number of outstanding shares becomes 2 x 10 million = 20 million
stock price becomes = $40 / 2 =$20
earning per share = $10 / 2 = $5
dividend per share = $0.5 / 2 = $0.25
p/e before split = $40 / $10 = 4
P/E after split = $20 / $5 = 4
so stock per share, earning per share and dividend per share decreases. P / E remains unchanged

Complete Question:
Akram owns a small farm.He employs 80 workers in the field and has recently hired a manager to help him manage the farm. The income of the business varies greatly during the year. The farm makes a small profit but Akram is ambitious. He wants to take over a neighbors farm and increase the range of crops he sells.

A friend has advised him to form a company and sell shares.
Requirement. Identity two types of short-term finance Akram could use when the farm income is low
Answer with its Explanation:
The two types of short term finances are as under:
Merchant Cash Advance: It is also known as supplier payables but in fact it is actually an cash advance by supplier to promote its sales by allowing credit for a short term. It doesn't what level of profits the company is earning, the supplier always allow small period for payment of its goods.Invoice Financing: It helps the company borrow money from money lenders (mostly banks) against the debtors accounts. This is usually a short term loan with option to expand both time and money if the company has proven to growth and better credit control. The invoice finacing doesn't effect the borrowings in short term if the business profits are low because for qualifying for such loan the company must have better cash postion. Though higher profits might help in securing the short term loan by using invoice financing but cash generation is the key requirement here.Executive pay at Ashance Inc., a manufacturing company, includes bonuses based on the year’s profits or other measures related to the organization’s goals.

The reserve requirement is 10%.
Suppose that the Fed sells $150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond dealer, electronically debiting the dealer's deposit account at Reliable Bank.
Which of the following correctly describes the immediate effect of this transaction on the money supply?
A. The money supply decreases by $1,500,000
B. The money supply decreases by $135,000.
C. There is no change in the money supply.
D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
E. None of the above.
The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:
This is an example of Open market operations (OMO).
Open market operations (OMO) is a monetary policy strategy in which the central bank such as the Federal Reserve sells or purchases government securities in order to implement a particular monetary policy.
When the central bank sells government securities on the open market, it aims to reduce the money supply by the worth of the securities. This is called a contractionary monetary policy.
On the other hand, when the central bank purchases government securities on the open market, it aims to increase the money supply by the worh of the government securities. This is called an expansionary monetary policy.
From the question, the sale of $150,000 worth of U.S. government securities from a bond dealer is a contractionary monetary policy and it will reduce the money supply by exactly $150,000.
Therefore, the correct option is D. The money supply decreases by $150,000.
Edwards Manufacturing Company purchases two component parts from three different suppliers. The suppliers have limited capacity, and no one supplier can meet all the company’s needs. In addition, the suppliers charge different prices for the components. Component price data (in price per unit) are as follows: Supplier Component 1 2 3 1 $10 $15 $14 2 $13 $12 $10 Each supplier has a limited capacity in terms of the total number of components it can supply. However, as long as Edwards provides sufficient advance orders, each supplier can devote its capacity to component 1, component 2, or any combination of the two components, if the total number of units ordered is within its capacity. Supplier capacities are as follows. Supplier 1 2 3 Capacity 1500 2500 2000 If the Edwards production plan for the next period includes 2,000 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2, what purchases do you recommend
Answer:
Purchase 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1.
Purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3.
Purchase 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2 from supplier 2.
Total costs = $54,500
Explanation:
component 1 component 2
supplier 1 2 3 1 2 3
price $10 $15 $14 $13 $12 $10
capacity:
supplier 1 = 1,500
supplier 2 = 2,500
supplier 3 = 2,000
demand:
component 1 = 2,000component 2 = 3,000There are two ways to solve this, one using excel and the solver function or do it manually.
Manually, we must start with the supplier that has the lowest cost. In this case, the supplier with the lowest cost for component 1 is supplier 1 ($10) and component 2 is supplier 3 ($10).
We will start by purchasing 1,500 units of component 1 from supplier 1 at $15,000. That eliminates supplier 1's capacity, so we now only have suppliers 2 and 3. We still need 500 units of component 1 and 3,000 units of component 2.
We purchase 2,000 units of component 2 from supplier 3 at $20,000. This will consume all of supplier 3's capacity, so we only have supplier 2 left. We are still needing 500 units of component 1 and 1,000 units of component 2.
We will purchase the remaining units from supplier 3 at (500 x $15) + ($1,000 x $12) = $19,500.
Our total expense will be $54,500.

The following sequence shows four operations for a computer chip assembly process and the effective capacity of each. Step 1: 500 chips/hour Step 2: 250 chips/hour Step 3: 200 chips/hour Step 4: 550 chips/hour Suppose the utilization is 70 percent of effective capacity. What is the actual output of the process?
Answer:
The actual output of the process is 140 per hour
Explanation:
The Bottleneck step is the one which assemble minimum number of chips per hour . Step 3 produces minimum number of chips (200 chips per hour). Therefore step 3 is the bottleneck step.
Since the steps are interlinked in sequence, the capacity of the process will be determined by the capacity of the bottleneck process. Therefore, effective capacity of the process = 200 chips per hour
Since utilization is 70% of effective capacity , the actual output of the process = Utilization x Effective Capacity
= 0.7 x 200
= 140 per hour
Thus, the actual output of the process is 140 per hour
