1. Define equilibrium.
Answer:
In chemistry:
Chemical equilibrium is defined as the condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs
In physics:
Equilibrium is defined as the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.
A simple mechanical body is said to be in equilibrium if it experiences neither linear acceleration nor angular acceleration; unless it is disturbed by an outside force, it will continue in that condition indefinitely.
the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time is called equilibrium.

The U.S. government could reduce its budget deficit by expanding the income assistance programs. raising the eligible retirement age to receive Social Security benefits. increasing discretionary spending. borrowing funds from abroad.
Answer:
raising the eligible retirement age to receive Social
Explanation:
We can agree that there is a budget deficit in an economy if the government expenditures in the economy are greater than its revenue. The remedy in the face of such an economic problem is either to raise taxes or to decrease the expenditures of the government.
In this question, the way that the US government can reduce the budget deficit is by raising the eligible retirement age of those who are to receive the social security benefits. When this age is increased, it means that less people would be receiving this benefit. Less people would meet the required age for the benefit. By so doing, the government is cutting its expenditures.
the rest of the options in the question would increase the deficit.

The number of people employed in one country is 230 million, with a total number of unemployed people at 40 million. The total population for the country is 500 million. What is the unemployment rate? Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unemployment rate = 14.81 %
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as the number of people that are willing and able to work in an economy but that are not able to get employment.
If is used as a measure of the level of economic growth of a country.
Mathematically:
Unemployment rate = (Unemployed) ÷ (Economically active people) *100
Economically active people are employed plus unemployed.
That is 230 million + 40 million = 270 million
Therefore
Unemployment rate = (40/270) * 100
Unemployment rate = 14.81 %
Your sister is thinking about starting a new business. The company would require $300,000 of assets, and it would be financed entirely with common stock. She will go forward only if she thinks the firm can provide a 13.5% return on the invested capital, which means that the firm must have an ROE of 13.5%. How much net income must be expected to warrant starting the business
Answer: $40,500
Explanation:
The company would be expected to make a net income of 13.5% of the amount invested in assets.
ROE = Net income / Equity
Net income = ROE * Equity
Assets are the same as equity in this scenario because the company is entirely funded by equity.
= 13.5% * 300,000
= $40,500
Ted, a used car dealer, entered into a written agreement to sell a car to Debra, a sixteen year old high school junior. The agreement provided that Ted would replace any defective parts for one year. Debra agreed to pay Ted $200 per month for three years (which she has done). The age of majority for the jurisdiction is eighteen. After six months, Debra's transmission fails but Ted refuses to replace it. If Debra (or a representative on her behalf) brings a lawsuit against Ted, it is more likely than not that the court will rule:_____.
A. Ted will prevail because Debra was a minor when the contract was formed.
B. The contract is illegal.
C. The contract is void.
D. Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract.
Answer:
D. Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract.
Explanation:
A minor can enter a contract that is not prohibited by law for minors. For example sale of alcohol or tobacco is prohibited.
When a minor enters a contract they can either honor it or void it before they come of age.
This is different for adults that cannot disaffirm a contract.
So in this scenario where the agreement provided that Ted would replace any defective parts for one year, failure to do so will see Debra prevailing in court. Since she did not void the contract
If there are external benefits associated with the consumption of a good or service, Group of answer choices the market demand curve will be the vertical summation of the individual demand curves. consumers are paying for all these benefits. the market demand curve will underestimate the social demand curve. the market demand curve will overestimate the true demand curve.
Answer: the market demand curve will underestimate the social demand curve.
Explanation:
The good or service in question, having an external benefit means that it benefits third parties as well as those who actually bought the good or service. This means that it has a higher social benefit than other goods.
The market demand curve would not cater for the demand for this good adequately because it would only adjust for the private benefits. The social demand curve on the other hand, would be adjusted for the external benefits to show that more people want this good or service.
The market demand would therefore underestimate the social demand curve because it would not adjust for the extra demand that comes with the external benefits.
Super Computer Company's stock is selling for $100 per share today. It is expected that, at the end of one year, it will pay a dividend of $6 per share and then be sold for $114 per share. Calculate the expected rate of return for the shareholders. A) 20% B) 15% C) 10% D) 25%
Answer: A. 20%
Explanation:
The expected return takes into account whatever dividends and capital gains accrue to a stock over the period.
Expected return = (Price at end of period + Dividends - Price at beginning of period) / Price at beginning of period
= (114 + 6 - 100) / 100
= 20/100
= 20%
Barclay Enterprises manufactures and sells three distinct styles of bicycles: the Youth model sells for $370 and has a unit contribution margin of $140; the Adult model sells for $920 and has a unit contribution margin of $485; and the Recreational model sells for $1,070 and has a unit contribution margin of $535. The company's sales mix includes: 5 Youth models; 9 Adult models; and 6 Recreational models. If the firm's annual fixed costs total $6,570,000, calculate the firm's break-even point in composite units (rounded to the nearest whole unit). Multiple Choice 16,550 composite units. 794 composite units. 1,430 composite units. 397 composite units. 8,275 composite units.
Answer:
794 composite units.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's break-even point in composite units
First step
Contribution Margin per Composite Unit:
Youth model $700
($140× sales mix of 5 )
Adult model model $4,365
($485× sales mix of 9)
Recreational model $3,210
( $535 × sales mix of 6 )
Contribution Margin per Composite Unit=8,275
($700+$4,365+$3,210)
Now let determine the Break-even Sales in Composite Units using this formula
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = Total Fixed Costs/Contribution Margin per Composite Unit
Let plug in the formula
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = $6,570,000/$8,275
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = $793.9
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = 794 composite units
Therefore the firm's break-even point in composite units is 794 composite units.
g One of the main differences between an oligopolistic firm and a monopolistically competitive firm is that a monopolistically competitive firm Group of answer choices Faces a horizontal demand curve; an oligopoly does not Is relatively independent; an oligopoly is interdependent Has high barriers to entry; an oligopoly does not Has no market power; an oligopoly has some market power
Answer:
Is relatively independent; an oligopoly is interdependent.
Explanation:
An oligopoly can be defined as a market structure comprising of a small number of firms (sellers) offering identical or similar products, wherein none can limit the significant influence of others.
Hence, it is a market structure that is distinguished by several characteristics, one of which is either similar or identical products and dominance by few firms.
The characteristics of an oligopolistic market structure are;
I. Mutual interdependence between the firms.
II. Market control by many small firms.
III. Difficult entry to new firms.
One of the main differences between an oligopolistic firm and a monopolistically competitive firm is that a monopolistically competitive firm is relatively independent; an oligopoly is interdependent.

MC Qu. 131 At Midland Company's break-even point... At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The unit sales price is:
Answer:
selling price per unit = $80
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company's break-even point of 9,000 units
Fixed costs are $180,000
Total variable costs= $540,000
First, we will calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 540,000 / 9,000
Unitary variable cost= $60
Now, the unitary selling price, using the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
9,000 = 180,000 / (selling price per unit - 60)
9,000selling price per unit - 540,000 = 180,000
9,000selling price per unit = 180,000 + 540,000
9,000selling price per unit = 720,000
selling price per unit = 720,000/9,000
selling price per unit = $80
Answer:
$80
Explanation:
The first step is to find the variable cost
= 540,000/9000
= 60
Therefore the unit sales price can be calculated as follows
= 180,000/90,000+60
= 20+60
= $80
Hence the unit sales price is $80

In a job order cost system, it would be correct in recording the purchase of raw materials to debit Finished Goods Inventory. Raw Materials Inventory. Work in Process Inventory. Work in Process and Manufacturing Overhead.
Answer:
In a job order cost system, it would be correct in recording the purchase of raw materials to debit
Raw Materials Inventory.
Explanation:
When materials are initially purchased, the cost is debited to the Raw materials inventory account and credited to either Cash or Accounts Payable, depending on the trade terms. When the materials are assigned to work in process, it is debited to Work in Process Inventory and to Jobs and credited to Raw materials Inventory. Finished Goods Inventory is only debited for completed jobs. Manufacturing Overhead is debited for all indirect costs.
