Answer:

(A) The nine-month statement should first be annualized.

Explanation:

In accounting when preparing financial statements there is a standard period of financial statements that should be adhered to. The financial statements should be of the same duration. So comparing a nine month financial statement to a twelve month financial statement is against standard accounting practices.

Moreover it will not give a clear picture when comparism is done this way. For example if two companies both have income of about $1,000,000 and financial statements of nine and twelve months are compared. The company with nine months financial statement will show lower income than the one with twelve month statement, and this is not the reality.

So the nine month statement should be annualised to ease comparability.

Martha B's has total assets of $1,810. These assets are expected to increase in value to either $1,900 or $2,400 by next year. T
Blababa [14]

Answer:

$7.24

Explanation:

PV at the risk free rate = $1,900 / (1 + 0.055)

PV at the risk free rate = $1,900 / 1.055

PV at the risk free rate = $1,800.95

Number of options needed = (2,400 - 1,900) / (400 - 0)

Number of options needed = 500 / 400

Number of options needed = 1.25

Total assets = (No of options needed*Value of equity) +  Present value at the risk free rate. Let Value of equity be C0

$1,810 = (1.25*C0) + $1,800.95

$1,810 - $1,800.95 = 1.25*C0

C0 = $9.05 / 1.25

C0 = $7.24

So, the Value of equity in this firm is $7.24.

If GDP exceeds aggregate expenditures in a private closed economy: A. Saving will exceed planned investment B. Planned investmen
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

GDP stands for Gross Domestic Product, it measures the economic activity value within a Country. It is the total of the market prices or the values of all the final goods and the services produced in the economy.

When the economy is private as well as closed, then the GDP is more than the aggregate expenditure, then the savings from the household exceed the planned investment.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

Downward rate

Explanation:

The commerce department has adjusted the growth of GDP downward, and BLS has adjusted the labor working hours upward. The bureau of labor statistics has to report a downward trend in terms of growth of labor productivity for the first quarter of 2016. The downward trend in labor productivity growth will justify the decline in GDP growth.

Cully Furniture buys two products for resale: king beds (K) and queen beds (Q). Each king bed costs $500 and requires 100 cubic
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

1) 500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000

K≥0

Q≥0

P= 400K + 200Q

2) zero king beds and 320 queen beds

or zero queen beds and 160 king beds

3) surplus variable

surplus variable is storage space

values of surplus variable is 14,000 cubic feet if zero queen beds and 160 king beds

value of surplus variable is 4,400 cubic feet if zero king beds and 320 queen beds.

surplus is the extra amount available after all resources have been utilized to theri maximum.

4) none of the resources will be completely used. There will be surplus of both

Explanation:

1) Implicit variables: K≥0 ;   Q ≥ 0

Explicit variables:

500K + 250Q ≤ 80,000-------------------------- from investment constraint

  100K+80Q≤ 30,000 ---------------------- from storage space constraint

LP:  P= 400K + 200Q

2) See the attachment for profit maximization graph

3) From graph in the attachment, it can be inferred that storage space is the surplus variable since graph of that equation lies completely outside of optimal area.

Also,

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of investment gives

500(160) + 250(0)= 80,000

if K=0 and Q=320, the inequality of investment gives

500(0)+ 250(320) =80,000

if K=0 and Q = 320, the inequality of space gives

100(0) + 80(320)= 25,600

surplus= 30,000- 25,600= 4,400

if K=160 and Q=0, the inequality of space gives

100(160) +250(0)= 16000

surplus= 30000-16000= 14000

4) K=0 and Q=300

investment inequality gives

500(0) + 250(300) ≤ 80,000

75,000≤ 80,000

space inequality gives

100(0) + 80(300) ≤ 30,000

24,000≤ 30,000

Both space and investment are in surplus
