'Tight money' policy is elucidated as the contractionary monetary policy adopted by central banks to decrease the money supply in the market which helps in reducing consumer spending and curb inflation in the economy.
As per the question, when the government adopted this 'tight money' policy during the Great Depression, it led to 'a reduction in consumer spending as well as a reduction in spending on investment.' It led to the worsening downturn of the economy as this steep fall in consumer spending decreased the demand significantly, caused major unemployment, and led millions of investors to take their money back, and eventually, it led to the longest-running recession in the modern history. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

Labor standards were 7.1 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $12.75 per hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. The direct labor time variance is a.$5,625.46 unfavorable b.$5,625.46 favorable c.$11,222.55 unfavorable d.$11,222.55 favorable
Answer:
$11,220 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As we know that:
Labor Time Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Standard time for actual output - Actual time worked)
Here,
Standard rate per hour= 12.75$
Standard time for actual units = 978 units * 7.1 hour per unit = 6,944 Hours
Actual hours worked are 7,824 hours
By putting the above values, we have:
Labour time variance = $12.75 * (6,944 - 7,824) = $11,220 Unfavorable

Farmers in developing countries claim that the U.S. government, through farm subsidies, is responsible for the artificially low global price of wheat. Because the U.S. government buys whatever wheat American farmers are unable to sell on the open market, American farmers have no incentive to modulate the size of their crops according to the needs of the global market. As a result, American farmers routinely produce more wheat than the global market can absorb and the global price of wheat is kept low. Without these subsidies, the farmers in developing economies claim, American farmers would produce only the amount of wheat that they could sell on the open market and the global price of wheat would rise.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the claims of the farmers in developing countries regarding the price of wheat?
(A) Wheat that is not processed for consumption is often used for certain industrial applications.
(B) Non-governmental buyers of wheat and wheat products are able to predict how much wheat they will need several years in advance.
(C) The U.S. government offers similar subsidies to soybean farmers, though the global price of soybeans is significantly higher than that of wheat.
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
(E) The price of sorghum, a crop for which the U.S. government offers no subsidies, is lower than that of wheat.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
Explanation:
The farmers narrative on the reason on why the price of wheat on the global market is low is justified due to their reason. Unfortunately, that logic would greatly be weaken if the farmers in United States reduces their output while farmers in other countries such as Canada and Russia increases their own output due to incentives from their governments.
This action would still lead to the global price of wheat continually being low.

Claudia and Dayson are upper-level managers working for the same company, but they are located in different countries and come from different cultures. The company is implementing a new accounting process, so Jorge, the company CEO, invites Claudia, Dayson, and a few other managers to join him on a video conference. During the video conference, Claudia asks Jorge if the company will be creating a temporary help desk to ease the transition. Jorge replies, "I'll think about it and get back to you later." To Claudia, this means he will honestly consider the possibility and will send an email with his decision. To Dayson, Jorge's expression during this statement indicates that he is simply maintaining social harmony and that a help desk will not be created. Which of the following is most likely true about Claudia's and Dayson's cultures?
A) Claudia is from a high-context culture, and Dayson is from a low-context culture.
B) Dayson is from a high-context culture, and Claudia is from a low-context culture.
C) Both Claudia and Dayson are from high-context cultures.
D) Both Claudia and Dayson are from low-context cultures.
The correct answer is B) ) Dayson is from a high-context culture, and Claudia is from a low-context culture.
Explanation:
The term "high-context culture" is used to refer to cultures in which implicit communication, nonverbal elements, and context are important factors of communication. This implies many words and expressions in these cultures do not have a literal meaning. According to this, it is likely Dayson is from a high-context culture, considering he focused on the implicit message in Jorge's words rather than considering the message was literal.
On the other hand, in "low-context culture" elements such as implicit meaning or context are not frequently used, this means, most communication is literal and explicit. This shows Claudia is from a low-context culture because rather than thinking Jorge's answer was just a formalism or irony, she interpreted the message literally.
Shelley has been hired as a marketing specialist at a large, international firm. On Shelley's first day of work, she attends an orientation session. Which of the following is LEAST likely to be addressed during Shelley's orientation program?
A) organizational structure
B) company policies and rules
C) compensation and reward system
D) daily and weekly task requirements
Answer:
D) daily and weekly task requirements.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Shelley has been hired as a marketing specialist at a large, international firm. On Shelley's first day of work, she attends an orientation session.
In the orientation session, what new employees are most likely to be briefed or talked to about is the organizational structure, company policies and rules and compensation and reward system. In human resources management, it is important to get new employees acquainted with the essential informations, rules, regulations, and guidelines that exist in an organization.
Hence, daily and weekly task is least likely to be addressed during Shelley's orientation program because she's not likely to commence her duties on the first day and her responsibilities or roles would be introduced to her by her functional or line manager.
How is single loss expectancy (SLE) calculated?This task contains the radio buttons and checkboxes for options. The shortcut keys to perform this task are A to H and alt+1 to alt+9. A Annualized rate of occurrence * asset value * exposure factor B Threat + vulnerability C Asset value ($) * exposure factor D Annualized rate of occurrence * vulnerability
Answer: C.) Asset value ($) * exposure factor
Explanation: The Single Loss Expectancy is used to evaluate the loss in monetary terms that will be incurred by an organization as a result of risk on it's asset. It is expressed mathematically as :
SLE = AV * EF
Where AV refers to the value of the organization's asset.
EF, the exposure factor ranges from 0 - 1 and it measures the fractional percentage of the asset which will be lost due to risk on such asset.
It is an important aspect of risk management or assessment in an organization and steps must be taken to lower the exposure factor of assets.

Answer:
the income inequality between the salary of company CEOs and the average salary at the company is harmful and unnecessary.
Explanation:
Thomas Piketty is classified as an extremely social economist along with Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman. Some confuse them as liberal economists, when they are actually against liberal or neoclassical economies. The three of them are famous for promoting economic fairness and equality. E.g. Piketty opposes extremely high CEO salaries while low level employees earn wages that are dangerously close to the minimum wage. He believes that this type of management practices are unsustainable and damage the economy in the long run.
Personally, I believe that the most important sector of the economy is the middle class and that the larger the middle class, the better.
Martha is a 40 percent partner in the MMM Partnership, with an outside basis of $50,000. MMM distributes $40,000 cash and accrual-basis accounts receivable with a basis and fair market value of $20,000. Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a basis in the cash of $40,000 and a basis in the receivables of $10,000.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a:
Basis in the cash of $40,000 which is TRUE because we were told that MMM distributes $40,000 cash to Martha
Basis in the receivables of $10,000 which is TRUE because we were told that she has an outside basis of $50,000 with distributed cash of $40,000 and accrual-basis accounts receivable of $20,000. Therefore the basis in the receivable of $10,000 is calculated as:
Cash $40,000 + Account receivable $20,000=$60,000
Hence,
$60,000- Outside basis $50,000

Answer:
Economies of scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.
Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.
Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.
