Identify which economic indicator should be used to track each of the following. a. The overall size of the economy the unemployment rate real GDP nominal GDP real GDP growth b. Labor market performance inflation business confidence the unemployment rate consumer confidence c. The future trajectory of economic activity the employment cost index real GDP inflation annual growth of the S&P 500 d. Wages and benefits business confidence real GDP the employment cost index consumer confidence
Answer:
a. The overall size of the economy ⇒ real GDP
The real GDP is adjusted for inflation and so would show the overall size of the economy in more accurate terms.
b. Labor market performance ⇒ the unemployment rate
The unemployment rate is best used to show how the labor market is performing because it shows the amount of people who are employed and those who are not in a given period.
c. The future trajectory of economic activity ⇒ annual growth of the S&P 500
The S&P 500 shows the performance of 500 large companies in the U.S. Their performance can be used to anticipate the trajectory of future economic activity because they influence the economy due to their large size.
d. Wages and benefits ⇒ the employment cost
The employment cost shows the wages and benefits that have to be paid to labor.

The national lottery in the country of San Dayana is advertising on billboards in the poverty stricken, inner-cities of the country. "Buy your way out of here to America" Buy the 5 for 1 lottery tickets every Friday." Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy? Why/Why not?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Would you consider this an ethical marketing strategy?
No. Of course not. It is not ethical. However, it is not illegal.
It cannot be considered ethical because this piece of advertisement is playing with the lack and necessity of the poor people of San Dayana.
The lottery advertisement is trying to be lucrative and benefit from the ignorance and poverty of the people of this poor country.
Once said that people are the ones who had the last word on the decision to buy or not to buy the lottery tickets. They know that the probabilities are minimum to win the big prize.
So instead of work, save and invest, or do other legal things to prosper, they prefer to spend their hard-earn money to get the "miracle" and become rich.
Ahmed Company purchases all merchandise on credit. It recently budgeted the following month-end accounts payable balances and merchandise inventory balances. Cash payments on accounts payable during each month are expected to be: May, $1,600,000; June, $1,490,000; July, $1,425,000; and August, $1,495,000.
Accounts Payable Merchandise Inventory
May 31 $150,000 $250,000
June 30 200,000 400,000
July 31 235,000 300,000
August 31 195,000 330,000
Use the available information to compute the budgeted amounts of (1) Merchandise purchases for June, July, and August (2) Cost of goods sold for June, July, and August.
Answer:
Explanation:
The merchandise purchase can be determined by using the formula:
Purchase = Cash payments + Ending Accounts Payable - Beginning Accounts Payable
For June:
Purchase = $(1490000 + 200000 - 150000)
Purchase = $(1690000 - 150000)
Purchase = $1540000
For July:
Purchases: $(1425000+235000 - 200000)
Purchases = $(1660000 - 200000)
Purchases = $1460000
For August:
Purchases: $(1495000 + 195000 - 235000)
Purchases: $(1690000 - 2235000)
Purchases: $1455000
The cost of goods sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory
For June:
Cost of goods sold= $(250000 + 1540000 - 400000)
Cost of goods sold= $(1790000 - 400000)
Cost of goods sold = $1390000
For July:
Cost of goods sold = $(400000 + 1460000 - 300000)
Cost of goods sold = $(1860000 - 300000)
Cost of goods sold = $1560000
For August:
Cost of good sold = $(300000+ 1455000 - 330000)
Cost of good sold = $(1755000 - 330000)
Cost ofgood sold = $1425000
