Answer:
Option B Zone of non service
Explanation:
We can decide whether it will be one of each zone mentioned above by identifying whether the service rate is greater than the arrival rate or vice versa.
Zone of service = Service rate is greater than the mean arrival rate
Critical zone = Service rate equals to mean arrival rate
Zone of non service = Mean arrival rate is greater than the service rate
Calculation
Capacity utilization rate = Arrival rate / Number of customers they can serve
Capacity utilization rate = 126 / 121
Capacity utilization rate = 104%
Since the mean arrival rate is greater than the service rate Its would be a Zone of non service

what are the duties of a plumber, and why is it difficult?
Answer:
Explanation:
The work of a plumber is to repair pipes.
Answer:
A plumber's duty is to install, repair, and maintain pipes, and fixtures in commercial and residential structures.
It is difficult because it is sometimes very dangerous and you have to work in extreme and critical conditions. And most of the time you inhale dangerous chemicals. Plumbers are dealing with anxious situations such as water pouring through ceilings, gas leaks, and pipes bursting in subzero temperatures.

A) Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000.
B) Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
C) Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
D) Manufacturing overhead was underapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $253,000
Faughn Corporation is a manufacturer that uses job-order costing. The company has supplied the following data for the just completed year:
Raw materials purchased on account $475,000
Raw materials (all direct) requisitioned for use in production $476,000
Direct labor cost $640,000
Manufacturing overhead:
Indirect labor cost $174,000
Other manufacturing overhead costs incurred $498,000
Cost of goods manufactured $1,672,500
Cost of goods sold (unadjusted) $1,469,000
The journal entry to record the transfer of completed goods from Work in Process to Finished Goods is:_____.
A. Finished Goods 1,672,500
Work in Process 1,672,500
B. Work in Process 1,469,000
Finished Goods 1,469,000
C. Finished Goods 1,469,000
Work in Process 1,469,000
D. Work in Process 1,672,500
Finished Goods 1,672,500
Answer: B. Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $10,000; Cost of Goods Sold after closing out the Manufacturing Overhead account is $233,000
A. Finished Goods 1,672,500
Work in Process 1,672,500
Explanation:
• Based on the scenario in the question, it should be realized that the applied manufacturing overhead is more than the actual manufacturing overhead by:
= $79,000 − $69,000
= $10,000
This implies that $10,000 would be overapplied. The $10000 will then be subtracted from the cost of the goods that were sold and we'll then get adjusted cost of goods sold of:
= $243,000 − $10,000
= $233,000
• The journal entry to record the transfer of completed goods from Work in Process to Finished Goods is:
Finished Goods 1,672,500
Work in Process 1,672,500

Glenville Company has the following information for April:
Cost of direct materials used in production $52,000
Direct labor 67,000
Factory overhead 21,000
Work in process inventory, April 1 38,000
Work in process inventory, April 30 48,000
Finished goods inventory, April 1 22,000
Finished goods inventory, April 30 17,000
Required:
a. For April, determine the cost of goods manufactured.
b. For April, determine the cost of goods sold.
Answer:
cost of goods manufactured= $130,000
COGS= $135,000
Explanation:
To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 38,000 + 52,000 + 67,000 + 21,000 - 48,000
cost of goods manufactured= $130,000
Now, we can determine the cost of goods manufactured:
COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory
COGS= 22,000 + 130,000 - 17,000
COGS= $135,000

Memo Describing Each Step of the Six-Step Measurement Process
To: Ms. Teagantigan, PhD, Financial Accounting
From: Okwukwe Faith, Financial Accounting Student
Subject: The Six-Step Measurement Process
Date: October 11, 2020
Find below the description you requested on the above subject.
1st Step: Identifying the accounts involved using the source documents:
For the provision of decorating services of $500 to a client, the invoice for the service will be reviewed for the accounts involved in the transaction. It will show that Accounts receivable and Service Revenue are involved. A review of the payroll check will also show the payment of salary to an employee, in which Cash Account and Salaries Expense account are involved. Similarly, a review of the purchasing invoice will show that Office Equipment and Cash Account are involved for the purchase of equipment.
2nd Step: Analysis of the impact on the accounting equation: For a) Accounts Receivable and Service Revenue will increase by $500 respectively. Cash Account will decrease while Salaries Expense account will increase by $1,200 for b). For c) Office Equipment will increase and Cash will decrease by $2,700.
3rd Step: Assessing the accounts to be debited or credited: For a) Accounts Receivable will be debited and Service Revenue credited. For b) Salaries Expense will be debited and Cash credited. For c) Office Equipment will be debited and Cash credited.
4th Step: With the above identification, the journal will be recorded for transactions a - c as detailed above.
5th Step: The above transactions will then be posted to the general ledger in their respective accounts.
6th Step: At the end of the period, the accounts will be balance and a list of balances extracted in the Trial Balance.

Duc has been employed by Longbow Corporation for 25 years. During that time, he bought an annuity at a cost of $50 per month ($15,000 total cost). The annuity will pay him $200 per month after he reaches age 65. When Duc dies, his wife, Annika, will continue to receive the annuity until her death. Duc turns 65 in April 2019 and receives 8 payments on the contract. Annika is age 60 when the annuity payments begin.
Required:
a. How much gross income does Duc have from the contract in the current year?
b. Assume that Duc dies on April 2, 2025. How does Annika account for the contract in 2025?
c. Assume the same facts as in part b and that Annika dies on August 4, 2032. How does the executor of Annika's estate account for the contract in the year of her death?
Answer:
a. How much gross income does Duc have from the contract in the current year?
According to the IRS, Duc's life expectancy is 90 years and 8 months, or 310 more months. This means that Duc can discount from his monthly income $15,000 / 310 = $48.39 (which we must round down to $48).
Duc received 8 x $200 = $1,600
deductions = 8 x $48 = $384
taxable income = $1,216
b. Assume that Duc dies on April 2, 2025. How does Annika account for the contract in 2025?
Annika should account for the contract in the same way as Duc did, and will also be able to discount $48 per month form her gross income. Since Annika will still file her taxes as married during 2025, she will report net income from this contract = ($200 - $48) x 12 months = $1,824
c. Assume the same facts as in part b and that Annika dies on August 4, 2032. How does the executor of Annika's estate account for the contract in the year of her death?
Both Duc and Annika received [(2032 - 2019) x 12] + 4 = 160 payments in total, so her estate is entitled to a tax deduction = (310 - 160) x $48 = $7,200
Since she died on August, her estate must also report income = ($200 - $48) x 8 = $1,216

You are the owner of a restaurant in a competitive market. You want to improve your restaurant's profile by increasing your quality of service to patrons while also growing profits. In addition to hiring better chefs and changing the menu, you are considering whether to offer a coat check. As one option, you could install hooks for customers to use, which may or may not help your business. Alternatively, you could offer a coat check for a fee, which would increase labor costs but give you a source of revenue in the process. Evaluate the various issues from a business and legal perspective, as well as steps to minimize any liability.
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
Its coat test is a viable and cost-effective alternative also for the cafe. Restaurant visitors have a big issue about managing their clothing in winter. Straps would not even ensure security so its risks will be burglary.
A sitting room with such a guide ensures safety and would be used in the customers. Its restaurateur will be charged with additional costs because an employee has to be recruited. The business prospects would be improved when customers get a guaranteed spot to preserve their jackets. An operator must be careful enough to not exchange or mislocate any clothes. It would be a source of revenue for the business because the service available was being used by other people.Answer:
all of the above

a. 1.25
b. 1.50
c. 0.67
d. 1.00
Answer:
Blue Flower Company
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= $100,000/$60,000
= 1.67 : 1
This ratio implies that Blue Flower Company can pay its current or short-term liabilities 1.67 times, using its current assets, made up of cash, receivables, and inventory, including short-term investments.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Cash and short-term investments $45,000
Accounts receivable (net) 30,000
Inventory 25,000
Total current assets $100,000
Current liabilities = $60,000
b) Blue Flower's Current Ratio is a financial measure of the company's ability to settle maturing current liabilities (obligations) with its current assets without resorting to sale of long-term assets.

Answer:
1) equity = assets - liabilities
equity = $45,000 + $93,000 + $7,000 + $75,000 - $40,000 = $180,000
retained earnings = total equity - common stock = $180,000 - $60,000 = $120,000

On September 30, 2021, Athens Software began developing a software program to shield personal computers from malware and spyware. Technological feasibility was established on February 28, 2022, and the program was available for release on April 30, 2022. Development costs were incurred as follows:
September 30 through December 31, 2021 $3,600,000
January 1 through February 28, 2022 1,500,000
March 1 through April 30, 2022 594,000
Athens expects a useful life of four years for the software and total revenues of $7,800,000 during that time. During 2022, revenue of $1,560,000 was recognized.
Required:
a. Prepare a journal entry to record the development costs in each year of 2021 and 2022.
b. Calculate the required amortization for 2022.
Answer:
2021
Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000
Cr Cash $3,600,000
2022
Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000
Dr Software and development costs 594, 000
Cr Cash 2,094,000
B. $148,500
Explanation:
1. Preparation of the journals entry
2021
Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000
Cr Cash $3,600,000
(To record the expenses incurred on research and development)
2022
Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000
Dr Software and development costs 594, 000
Cr Cash 2,094,000
(1,500,000+594,000)
(To record the software development costs incurred)
2.Calculatation for the amortization for 2022
Using percentage of revenues method
Amortization= Current revenue/Total revenue* Software development costs
Amortization=$1,560,000/$7, 800,000*$594,000
Amortization=0.2*$594,000
Amortization=$118,800
Using straight line method
Amortization =1/Useful life* Software devel opment costs
Amortization=1/4*$594,000
Amortization=$148,500
Based on the above calculation Tmte expense amounts under straight-line method is higher . Which means that , the amortization is $148,500.

Consider the following independent situations at December 31:
a. On October 1, a business collected $3,000 rent in advance, debiting Cash and crediting Unearned Revenue. The tenant was paying one year's rent in advance. On December 31, the business must account for the amount of rent it has earned.
b. Salaries expense is $1,800 per day-Monday through Friday-and the business pays employees each Friday. This year, December 31 falls on a Thursday.
c. The unadjusted balance of the Office Supplies account is $3,000. Office supplies on hand total $1,900.
d. Equipment depreciation was $500.
e. On April 1, when the business prepaid $4,320 for a two-year insurance policy, the business debited Prepaid Insurance and credited Cash.
Journalize the adjusting entry needed on December 31 for each situation. Use the letters to label the journal entries.
Answer:
All the entries are made on December 31.
a.
Unearned Rent Revenue 750 Dr
Rent Revenue 750 Cr
b.
Salaries expense 7200 Dr
Salaries Payable 7200 Cr
c.
Supplies expense 1100 Dr
Supplies 1100 Cr
d.
Depreciation expense-Equipment 500 Dr
Accumulated depreciation-Equipment 500 Cr
e.
Insurance expense 1620 Dr
Prepaid Insurance 1620 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The rent received in advance is for one year. On December 31 the 3 months of rent becomes earned. So, we debit the unearned rent revenue account and credit the rent revenue.
b.
The salaries expense per day is $1800 and as the 31 December is a thursday, the salary for 4 days becomes an expense which is still not paid as salaries are paid on friday. So we debit the salaries expense by 1800 * 4 = 7200 and credit the salaries payable by the same amount.
c.
The supplies of 1100 (3000 - 1900) have been consumed and the supplies expense will be recorded for 1100 and the supplies account will be reduced by 1100.
d.
The depreciation on equipment is recorded.
e.
The insurance paid in advance in April of the current year is for 2 years or 24 months. The per month insurance expense is 4320 / 24 = 180
Till 31 December, the 9 months of insurance policy has been consumed and should be recorded as an expense and a reduction in the prepaid asset.
The amount is = 180 * 9 = 1620

You would like to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years, and how much you must invest today to reach that goal clearly depends on what rate of return you can earn. First, suppose you can earn 10.4% per year, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Second, suppose you can only earn half that percentage rate, and calculate how much you would have to invest today. Divide the second by the first, to see how many times more you must invest today at half that annual rate grow it to $1 million over 40 years.
Answer:
1.
PV = $19108.96057 rounded off to $19108.96
So, $19108.96057 have to be invested today at 10.4% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
2.
PV = $131634.7058 rounded off to $131634.71
So, $131634.7058 have to be invested today at 5.2% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
3.
Times more investment = 6.888637682 times rounded off to 6.89 times
Explanation:
1.
To calculate how much we need to invest today for it to turn into $1 million in 40 years at 10.4% per annum rate, we will use the Present value of a sum formula as we need to determine the present value of $1 million earned after 40 years from today. The formula for present value of a sum is,
PV = FV / (1+r)^t
Where,
PV is present valueFV is future valuer is the rate of interest or returnt is the time period in yearsPV = 1,000,000 / (1+0.104)^40
PV = $19108.96057 rounded off to $19108.96
So, $19108.96057 have to be invested today at 10.4% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
2.
Half the percentage rate of 10.4% p.a. = 10.4% / 2 = 5.2%
PV = 1,000,000 / (1+0.052)^40
PV = $131634.7058 rounded off to $131634.71
So, $131634.7058 have to be invested today at 5.2% p.a. rate for 40 years for it to turn into a million dollars.
3.
Times more investment = 131634.7058 / 19108.96057
Times more investment = 6.888637682 times rounded off to 6.89 times

Based on what we have learned about shortages and surpluses in a market, which one do you think is more harmful to the overall economy: a shortage or a surplus of a good? Provide a detailed explanation to demonstrate your thinking.
Answer:
A surplus of a good
Explanation:
Although we think that having a lot of something sounds like a good idea that is not always the case. Sometimes its better to have less of an item but therefore sell it for. For example when there was a shortage of hand sanitzer, masks and toilet paper people bought more of it for a higher price because they were afraid not to have enough. A surplus can take up a lot of storage and use up a lot of money. For example if a car manafacturer has a surplus of cars they are just sittinng there taking up space in a lot that needs to be payed for and mantained. I find it is especially bad if there are lot of that item and people are not interested in purchasing it. The company would be losing money because they would be most likely selling it at a lower price. Therefore the economy would be losing money while during a shortage they would be gaining money.

If steak and potatoes are complements, when the price of steak goes down, the demand curve for potatoes:
Answer:
Shift to the left
Explanation:
Demand curve is essential in economics, because it allows to know the relationship between the price of a particular goods/service and quantity demanded all in that price graphically
Since complementary goods are used along with each other, they also shift demands curve to the left because any fall at the price of one of the complement goods, the demands of first one increases, then the other one.
Therefore, If steak and potatoes are complements, when the price of steak goes down, the demand curve for potatoes Shift to the left
Use the following data to determine the total amount of working capital.
Windsor, Inc. Balance Sheet December 31, 2022
Cash $129200 Accounts payable $153500
Accounts receivable 122600 Salaries and wages payable 28400
Inventory 209300 Note payable (due 2025) 268000
Short-term investments 86400 Total liabilities $449900
Land (held for future use) 255000 Land 289000
Buildings $338500 Common stock $355500
Less: Accumulated depreciation (60200) 278300 Retained earnings 771000
Franchise 206600 Total stockholders' equity $1126500
Total assets $1576400 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $1576400
Answer:
$279,200
Explanation:
The computation of working capital is shown below:-
As we know that
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
where,
Current assets = cash balance + account receivable + Inventory
= $129,200 + $122,600 + $209,300
= $461,100
And,
Current liabilities = Account payable + Salaries & wages payable
= $153,500 + $28,400
= $181,900
now we will put the values of the above working capital formula
= $461,100 - $181,900
= $279,200
On June 30, 2012, Oriole Company issued 12% bonds with a par value of $770,000 due in 20 years. They were issued at 98 and were callable at 103 at any date after June 30, 2020. Because of lower interest rates and a significant change in the company’s credit rating, it was decided to call the entire issue on June 30, 2021, and to issue new bonds. New 10% bonds were sold in the amount of $1,000,000 at 102; they mature in 20 years. Oriole Company uses straight-line amortization. Interest payment dates are December 31 and June 30.Instructions:

Hudson Corporation is considering three options for managing its data processing operation: continuing with its own staff, hiring an outside vendor to do the managing (referred to as outsourcing), or using a combination of its own staff and an outside vendor. The cost of the operation depends on future demand. The annual cost of each option (in thousands of dollars) depends on demand as follows:
Demand
Staffing Options High Medium Low
Own staff 650 650 600
Outside vendor 900 600 300
Combination 800 650 500
a) If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data processing operation?

Explanation:
Given the data :
______________DEMAND______________
Staffing option __High ___Medium______Low
Own staff ______650_____ 650 _______600
Outside vendor _900_____ 600 _______ 300
Combination ___ 800 _____650_______ 500
a) If the demand probabilities are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.3, which decision alternative will minimize the expected cost of the data processing operation?
Expected cost :Σp(x) *x
Expected value for OWN STAFF:
(650*0.2) + (650*0.5) + (600*0.3) = 635
Expected value for OUTSIDE VENDOR:
(900*0.2) + (600*0.5) + (300*0.3) = 570
Expected value for COMBINATION:
(800*0.2) + (650*0.5) + (500*0.3) = 635
The decision alternative which will minimize expected cost is OUTSIDE VENDOR as it has the lowest expected value.
Expected annual cost associated with outside vendor is 570
(b) Construct a risk profile for the optimal decision in part (a).
Risk portfolio for outside vendor:

What is the probability of the cost exceeding $700,000?
Probability : This is the probability associated with the low demand of the optimal risk portfolio = 0.2 (0.2 * 100) = 20%
Liquidity risk would be greatest for an investor whose portfolio was primarily composed of A) ADRs listed on the NYSE B) municipal bond UITs C) Nasdaq stocks D) municipal bonds
Answer: D) municipal bonds
Explanation:
Liquidity risk is the risk that an instrument or security can not be easily sold such that actual hard currency can be recuperated.
ADRs on the NYSE can be easily sold and so can NASDAQ stocks. Municipal bond Unit Investment Trust (UITs) can be redeemed in a non-complicated manner so are liquid as well.
Municipal bonds will prove to be the least liquid as the market for municipal bonds is not a heavily traded one.
Allison and Leslie, who are twins, just received $10,000 each for their 25th birthdays. They both have aspirations to become millionaires. Each plans to make a $5000 annual contribution to her "early retirement fund" on her birthday, beginning a year from today. Allison opened an account with the Safety First Bond Fund, a mutual fund that invests in high quality bonds whose investors have earned 8% per year in the past. Leslie invested in the New-Issue Bio Tech Fund, which invests in small, newly issued bio-tech stocks and whose investors have earned an average of 13% per year in the fund’s relatively short history.
a. If the two women’s funds earn the same returns in the future as in the past, how old will each be when she becomes a millionaire?
b. How large would Allison’s annual contributions have to be for her to become a millionaire at the same age as Leslie, assuming that their expected returns are realized?
Answer:
a. If the two women’s funds earn the same returns in the future as in the past, how old will each be when she becomes a millionaire?
Allison:
1,000,000 = 5,000 x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
200 = [(1 + 8%)ⁿ - 1 ] / 8%
16 = 1.08ⁿ - 1
17 = 1.08ⁿ
n = log 17 / log 1.08 = 1.230448921 / 0.033423755 = 36.81 years
Leslie:
1,000,000 = 5,000 x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
200 = [(1 + 13%)ⁿ - 1 ] / 13%
26 = 1.13ⁿ - 1
27 = 1.13ⁿ
n = log 27 / log 1.13 = 1.43133764 / 0.053078443 = 26.97 years
b. How large would Allison’s annual contributions have to be for her to become a millionaire at the same age as Leslie, assuming that their expected returns are realized?
1,000,000 = payment x [(1 + i)ⁿ - 1 ] / i
1,000,000 = payment x [(1 + 8%)²⁶°⁹⁷ - 1 ] / 8%
80,000 = payment x [1.08²⁶°⁹⁷ - 1 ]
80,000 = payment x 6.969639658
payment = 80,000 / 6.969639658 = $11,478.36
WP Corporation produces products X, Y, and Z from a single raw material input in a joint production process. Budgeted data for the next month is as follows: Product X Product Y Product Z Units produced 1,800 2,300 3,300 Per unit sales value at split-off $ 16.00 $ 19.00 $ 18.00 Added processing costs per unit $ 3.00 $ 5.00 $ 5.00 Per unit sales value if processed further $ 20.00 $ 20.00 $ 25.00 The cost of the joint raw material input is $71,000. Which of the products should be processed beyond the split-off point
Answer:
Product X and Product Z should be processed beyond the split-off point because their Profits beyond split-off point are greater than Profits at split-off point.
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the Profit at split-off point and profit Profit beyond split-off point.
In the attached excel file, the share cost of joint raw material input is calculated as follows:
Units produced of Product X = 1,800
Units produced of Product Y = 2,300
Units produced of Product Z = 3,300
Total units = Units produced of Product X + Units produced of Product Y + Units produced of Product Z = 1,800 + 2,300 + 3,300 = 7,400
Share of cos joint raw material input = (Units of a Product / Total unit) * Cost of the joint raw material input …. (1)
Using equation (1), we have:
Product X share of cost of joint raw material input = (1,800 / 7,400) * $71,000 = $17,270
Product Y share of cost of joint raw material input = (2,300 / 7,400) * $71,000 = $22,068
Product Z share of cost of joint raw material input = (3,300 / 7,400) * $71,000 = $31,662
Decision Rule:
A product should be processed beyond the split-off point if its Profit beyond split-off point is greater than Profit at split-off point.
From the attached excel file, only Product X and Product Z meet this requirement as determined as follows:
For Product X
Profit at split-off point = $11,530
Profit beyond the split-off point = $13,330
Since Profit beyond split-off point is greater than Profit at split-off point, Product X should be processed beyond the split-off point.
For Product Y
Profit at split-off point = $21,632
Profit beyond the split-off point = $12,432
Since Profit beyond split-off point is less than Profit at split-off point, Product X should NOT be processed beyond the split-off point.
For Product Z
Profit at split-off point = $27,738
Profit beyond the split-off point = $34,338
Since Profit beyond split-off point is greater than Profit at split-off point, Product Z should be processed beyond the split-off point.
Based on the analysis above, only Product X and Product Z should be processed beyond the split-off point since their Profits beyond split-off point are greater than Profits at split-off point.
Home Inspirations Mary works for her father in a family-owned business called Home Inspirations, a bedding company that has been in operation since the 1800s. When her father retires, Mary plans on taking over the business. Mary is aware of many things about the company that she likes, and a few things that she does not. She has particularly noted that when the economy has low unemployment and high total income, sales are great. However, any other time, sales are not so good. Currently, all of the bedding items are created in one place and everyone works on various tasks every day. Mary is thinking about streamlining the production process so that individuals would be responsible for only one task. She believes that if production would increase, she could sell her products at a lower price and increase revenue. She knows that most bedding products available in the market are very similar in nature and satisfy the same need. However, if she were able to lower prices, this might give her company the competitive advantage that it needs. She would then be able to invest money in differentiating her products by providing unique features, building the brand name, and offering services such as free delivery. She is also considering selling her products on the Internet. Mary knows that her father does not like change very much, but she feels these changes are important for the future of the company.
Refer to Home Inspirations.Mary noticed that when sales were up,the economy was in a
A) depression.
B) peak period.
C) grace period.
D) recession.
E) stagnant mode.
Answer:
Option B (peak period) is the correct choice.
Explanation:
The time throughout the day as well as a period where this production is at its peak for items and/or services. A peak seems to be the tallest structure of such a global economy between some of the completion of economic growth as well as the beginning of a recession. Hailey found that perhaps the economy must have been at a peak time although profits were up.The remaining four options are not aligned with the situation in question. So, the solution above is the right one.
