答案和详解如下：

41 Correct answer is C

“Demand and Supply in Factor Markets,” Michael Parkin
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 2, pp. 253-256
Study Session 5-21-a
explain why demand for the factors of production is called derived demand, differentiate between marginal revenue and marginal revenue product (MRP), and describe how the MRP determines the demand for labor and the wage rate
A change in total revenue that results from one more unit of labor is called the marginal revenue product of labor. In a perfectly competitive market, profit is maximized when, at the quantity of labor hired, marginal revenue equals marginal cost and marginal revenue product equals the wage rate. These two conditions are equivalent and the quantity of labor that maximizes profit produces the output that maximizes profit.

42 Correct answer is A

“Monopoly,” Michael Parkin
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 2, pp. 198-200
Study Session 5-19-e
explain the potential gains from monopoly and the regulation of a natural monopoly
The marginal cost pricing rule is efficient but it leaves the natural monopoly incurring an economic loss. Therefore, regulators almost never impose marginal cost pricing rule. Instead, they adopt the average cost pricing rule, which allows the firm to cover its costs and earn a normal profit.

43 Correct answer is C

“Inflation,” Michael Parkin
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 2, pp. 419-421
Study Session 6-26-f
explain the relation among inflation, nominal interest rates, and the demand and supply of money
The real interest rate equals the nominal interest rate minus the expected inflation rate, which is the same as nominal interest rate equals the real interest rate plus the expected inflation rate.

44 Correct answer is A

“Inflation,” Michael Parkin
2008 Modular Level I, Vol. 2, pp. 402-405
Study Session 6-26-b
describe and distinguish among the factors resulting in demand-pull and cost-push inflation, and describe the evolution of demand-pull and cost-push inflationary processes
An increase in aggregate demand as a result of an increase in government purchases, an example of demand-pull inflation, leads to an increase in both price level and the real GDP (Figure 2, p. 402).

45 Correct answer is A

calculate and interpret activity, liquidity, solvency, profitability, and valuation ratios;
calculate and interpret liquidity measures usingSelected financial ratios for a company and compare it with peer companies
The cash conversion cycle is equal to inventory processing days + days in accounts receivable - payables payment period.
Inventory turnover = $18.4 / $2.5 = $7.36.
Inventory processing days: 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 7.36 = 49.59 days.
Days in accounts receivables: 365 / 24 = 15.21 days.
Cash conversion cycle: 49.59 + 15.21 - 25 = 39.8 days.
