Answer:
Government policymakers decided to reduce the rate of inflation from 3% to 1.6%. As a result, the unemployment rate increased from 4.8% to 6.2%. The sacrifice ratio is:______
d. none of the above
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Old inflation rate = 3%
New inflation rate = 1.6%
Old unemployment rate = 4.8%
New unemployment rate = 6.2%
Ratio of old inflation rate to old unemployment rate = 3 : 4.8 = 0.625
Ratio of new inflation rate to new unemployment rate = 1.6% : 6.2% = 0.258
Sacrifice ratio = Difference between the two ratios = 0.367 (0.625 - 0.258)
b) The sacrifice ratio is the difference between the old ratio and the new ratio of inflation rate to unemployment rate.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Accounting rate of return is determined to take the efficient business decision related to the capital budgeting and it tell us whether to accept the proposal or not. The following is the formula:
Accounting rate of return = (Average Income ÷ Initial Investment)
For example:
Net profit for 3 years are as follows:
2012 - 13 = $50 million
2013-14 = $100 million
2014-15 = $150 million
Initial investment = $200
Average profit = ($50 + $100 + $150) ÷ 3
= $100
Accounting rate of return = (Average Income ÷ Initial Investment)
= $100 ÷ $200
= 0.5 or 50%

<em>Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.</em>
Activity rate is calculated as:
<em>Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period</em>
<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers:</em></u>
<em>The appropriate cost driver to allocate supporting customer activity is the number of customers as given. This is so because it is most likely that the number of customers served will be a major factor that influences the supporting customers activity costs. </em>
<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers </em></u>
= Supporting customers overhead/total number of customers
= $34,600/(600+300)
= $38.44
