Answer:
The answer to the question would be C
Explanation:
Without a doubt, the economic crisis has changed the way consumers approach the market for goods and services. In this new era, austerity, discounts and the search in different channels of the best price / benefit ratio dominate.
Of course, technology and the Internet are the best allies of the consumer who wants to be informed: thanks to smartphones, bar scanners, social networks or websites that compare prices or offer discounts, we are the buyers with more prior information on what we want or need to acquire.
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
For February,
Opening inventory would have been:
= 25% of February
= (25% × $89,000)
= $22,250
Ending inventory would have been:
= 25% of March
= (25% × $59,000)
= $14,750
Hence,
Cost of goods sold = Opening inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
$89,000 = $22,250 + Purchases - $14,750
Purchases = $89,000 + $14,750 - $22,250
= $81,500
Therefore, the budgeted purchases of inventory in February Year 2 would be $81,500.
Answer: $3,580.30 (converted to 2decimal places).
Antwone need to deposit " $3,580.30008” into the account each semi-annual period in order to take his vacation in 2 years
Explanation:
By using compound interest formula below to solve the question
A = p ( 1 + r/n)^nt
A = amount (future value)= $3,800
P = principal (present value) ?
r = annual nominal rate = 3%= 0.03
n = today number of compounding years = semiannually (2 interest payments period in a year) = 2
t = time in years =2
3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.03/2)^2(2)
3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.015 )^4
3,800 = p ( 1.015 ) ^4
3,800 = 1.06136355 p
divide both sides by 1.06136355
p = 3,800 / 1.06136355
p = $3,580.30008
≈$3,580.30 ( rounded off to 2d.p)
Answer:
d
Explanation:
A good has positive externality if the benefits to third parties not involved in production is greater than the cost. an example of an activity that generates positive externality is research and development. Due to the high cost of R & D, they are usually under-produced. Government can encourage the production of activities that generate positive externality by granting subsidies.
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
