Explanation:
Shortages are avoided by producers as much as possible in order not to cause disequilibrium in the market. Shortages are not the same as scarcity. They are temporary setbacks when the quantity demanded outstrips the quantity supplied at the equilibrium market price. The backlashes result in lost sales and revenue for suppliers. Shortages may clear ways for competitors to enter the market to meet the unsatisfied demand.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A compensated absence is employee time off with pay, which can arise in such situations as sick leave, holidays, vacations, and jury duty. To account for compensated absences, it is not necessary to separately recognize them when they are earned and used within the same period, since it is typically rolled into the general compensation expense. However, they must be charged to expense and recorded as a liability when they are earned and their use is deferred to a later period.
An employer should accrue a liability for compensated absences payable to employees for their future absences, but only if all of the following conditions are met:
• The payment obligation for future absences is based on employee services already rendered.
• The amount of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.
• Payment is probable.
• The obligation is for employee rights that vest or accumulate.
Answer:
d. premium pricing.
Explanation:
Premium pricing is the strategy of pricing in which the product is highly priced in comparison to that of the other similar products available in the market. This is done in order to keep the belief in customers that the product is superior than those available in the market.
Some people those who think that expensive products are always nice, prefer these kind of products.
Here in the given instance also Sherry prefers this model and her ideology also matches with this technique.
Answer:
d) variability
Explanation:
Variability is the quality of a service that does not follow a fixed, or predictable pattern, following instead a changing (or variable), or unpredictable pattern.
Seasonality is a type of variability that occurs when a business is subject to very rigid time constraints: in some periods of time it booms, and in other periods, it busts.
Alex's business is seasonal because it only becomes profitable during the summer months, while the other three seasons represent a net loss for him.
Answer:
b. equivalent units of output.
Explanation:
In the production process there are various kind of inventory, that is raw material inventory, work in process and then the finished inventory.
Thus, there is this equivalent units concepts which calculates the completed units that would have been produced in case of no work in process.
Thus, when we use FIFO method and we want to calculate the unit cost of materials assuming inventory of raw material is also added in stages rather than completely adding it as a first step itself, the correct equation = Total cost of materials/equivalent units of output.
