Congress estimated that the cost of increasing support and expanding pre- kindergarten education and infant and toddler childcare would cost $28 billion 6. in 2014. Since the U. S. government was running a budget deficit at the time, assume that the new pre-K funding was financed by government borrowing, which increases the demand for loanable funds without affecting supply. This question considers the likely effect of this government expextliture on the interest rate. a. Draw typical demand (D) and supply (S) curves for loanable funds without the cost of the expanded pre-K programs accounted for. Label the vertical axis "Interest rate" and the horizontal axis "Quantity of loanable funds." Label th equilibrium point (E1) and the equilibrium interest rate (r1).
b. Now draw a new diagram with the cost of the expanded pre-K programs included in the analysis. Shift the demand curve in the appropriate direction. Label the new equilibrium point (E2) and the new equilibrium interest rate (r2).
c. How does the equilibrium interest rate change in response to government expenditure on the expanded pre-K programs? Explain.

Sharon had some insider information about a corporate takeover. she unintentionally informed a friend, who immediately bought the stock in the target corporation. the takeover occurred and the friend made a substantial profit from buying and selling the stock. the friend told sharon about his stock dealings, and gave her a pearl necklace because she "made it all possible." the necklace was worth $10,000, but she already owned more jewelry than she desired.

For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (hint: first, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.)a. jill’s dress shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. during the accounting period jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300.b. ken’s bait shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. during the accounting period ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. sales discounts amounted to $640. ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.a& b. cost of goods avaliable for sale? ending inventory?

Industrial engineers who specialize in ergonomics are concerned with designing workspace and devices operated by workers so as to achieve high productivity and comfort. a paper published in this research area reports on a study of preferred height for an experimental keyboard with large forearm-wrist support. a sample of 31 trained typists resulted in an average preferred height of 80.0 cm
