Answer:
A. 125 Egyptian pounds
Explanation:
Let’s create a proportion using the following setup.
pounds/dollars=pounds/dollars
We know that 5 Egyptian pounds is equal to 1 dollar.
5 pounds/ 1 dollar= pounds/dollars
We don’t know how many pounds are in 25 dollars. We can say x pounds are in 25 dollars.
5 pounds / 1 dollar = x pounds/ 25 dollars
5/1=x/25
We want to find out what x is, so we need to get x by itself.
x is being divided by 25. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides of the equation by 25.
25*(5/1)=(x/25)*25
25*5/1=x
25*5=x
125=x
$25 US dollars are equal to 125 Egyptian pounds. Therefore, the watch will cost 125 Egyptian pounds and choice A is correct.
Answer:
C) Items in transit sold f.o.b. destination.
Explanation:
Ending inventory = all items in hand plus all purchases bought FOB shipping point plus all sales sold FOB destination.
FOB shipping point means that the title of the goods is transferred once the goods leave the seller's warehouse.
FOB destination point means that the title of the goods is transferred only after the goods arrive to the buyer's warehouse.
Answer:
option (D) $ 2,750
Explanation:
Data provided :
Assessed value of John and Mary Billings = $ 110,000
Tax rate = 25 mills per $ 1.00
or
Tax rate in dollars = 25/1000 = 0.025 / $ 1.00
therefore,
Tax they have to pay = Assessed value of John and Mary Billings × Tax rate
or
Tax to be paid = $ 110,000 × 0.025 = $ 2,750
Hence,
the correct answer is option (D) $ 2,750

Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.
