Answer:

1. The average net pay per month increase is $49.

2. The average net pay increase per month is 2.3%.

This question asks us to compare the pay increase to inflation rate.

In order to make this comparison, we need to first determine the average monthly pay increase in dollars.

We calculate that by:

Monthly pay increase in dollars = This year's monthly pay - Last year's monthly pay

Monthly pay increase in dollars = 2225 - 2176 = 49

Next we determine the rate at which the monthly average increased.

We use the following formula to calculate this:

Percentage increase in net pay = \frac{Increase in average monthly pay}{Last year's average monthly pay} * 100

Percentage increase in net pay per month = \frac{49}{2176} * 100

Percentage increase in net pay per month is 2.3%.

We then compare the increase in pay per month to the inflation rate.

If the increase is pay is equal to or greater than the inflation rate, the pay is keeping pace with the cost of living. If the pay rise is less than the inflation rate, the pay is not keeping pace with the cost of living.

ch4aika [34]

In some countries with very high inflation rates, citizens tend to spend their money as fast as they receive it in order to keep it from losing any more of its value. Under these conditions, money is said to lack stability

Explanation:

In most situations, two main factors of a high inflation rate are present in a national economy, which in most countries at the very most. Firstly, an increase in consumer spending in comparison to supply could lead to high inflation. The prices rise when more people fought about fewer goods.

Price stability ensures that excessive inflation and deflation are prevented.

Inflation represents an increase in the overall value for money and purchasing power of products and services within an economy over a prolonged period of time. Deflation is a fall over a longer period of time in the overall price cost for goods and services.

Tamarisk Company uses the LCNRV method, on an individual-item basis, in pricing its inventory items. The inventory at December 3
deff fn [24]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

Give

The cost value for each of the inventory item is as follows:

Product           Cost Price

D                        $88

E                        $94

F                        $94

G                        $94

H                        $59

I                          $42

Now, we determine the net realizable value for each of the product:

Net Realizable Value = Selling price - Cost to compete - Selling costs

Product           Net Realizable Value

D                       $93

E                        $73

F                        $70

G                        $41

H                        $82

I                          $47

Now, using the LCNRV (Lower of cost or Net Realizable Value) rule, the proper unit value for balance sheet reporting purposes at December 31, 2020, for each of the inventory items -

Product           LCNRV

D                        $88

E                        $73

F                        $70

G                        $41

H                        $59

I                          $42

seropon [69]

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.3 per machine hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total machine-hours 80,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost $416,000

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 3.10

<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (416,000/80,000) + 3.1

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $8.3 per machine hour
