Answer:

At the beginning of the semester in gained $200 in value.

At the end of the semester I gained $75.

At the beginning of the semester, I actually paid $250 per book while i could have paid $450 for the book.

The difference between these values represent the consumer surplus.

Consumer surplus is defined as the difference between what a consumer is willing to pay and what s/he actually pays for a product or service.

At the beginning of the semester I had a consumer surplus of 450 - 250 =200

At the end of the semester, the book is worth only $50 to me, but the book store will pay $125 for the same book.

So, I gain 125 -50 = 75 by selling the book to the bookstore at the end of the year.

Hello! First, you must think of what the value is worth to you personally. (Which is $50. However, the store is willing to pay 50% of that 250 original price. So you must do simple math and find out what half of 250 is! That gives us 125. When you figure that the value is 125 after 50% off and your personal value for the book was $50 all you have to do is subtract 125 from 50 which gives us your answer!

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,

An increase of $100,000 in inventory would result in a(n) Increase in bonds payable. Decrease of net cash flow. Decrease in mark
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Decrease of net cash flow

Explanation:

Underthe indirect method, we calculate the cash flow based on the change in working capital:

The inventory, which is an asset will be purchased with cash or cash equivalent. Therefore, an increase on inventory produce a decrease of net cash flow.

If the inventory is purchased on account then, It will increase account payable, which represent an increase on the net cash flow. This generates a net effect of zero, 100,000 for account payable - 100,000 for inventory.

Which is what happens when purchase on account are made.

However, here we are asked for an increase on inventory only. We should simply state that this will represent a decrease in the cash flow for 100,000.

A budget refers to a department's or a company's projected revenues, costs, or expenses, while on the other hand A standard usually refers to a projected amount per unit of product, per unit of input (such as direct materials, factory overhead), or per unit of output.
