Allocator- Price thus serves the function of allocator. First, it allocates goods and services among those who are willing and able to buy them. (As we noted in Chapter 1, the answer to the economic question “For whom to produce?” depends primarily on prices.) Second, price allocates financial resources (sales revenue) among producers according to how well they satisfy customers’ needs. Third, price helps customers to allocate their own financial resources among various want-satisfying products.
Manufacturers offer discounts usually to large quantity or bulk buyers. this encourages buyers to buy more because the businesses give them an opportunity to save more money. usually, it is the retailers who would buy from manufacturers in bulk orders
In this report, there are three variables being
mentioned. These are:
1st variable = 19 minutes
2nd variable = 7 jumps
3rd variable = 79%
In this problem, I believe what we are asked to do is to
identify the type of variable the 2nd variable is. We are given that
the 2nd variable is “7 jumps”.
This means that the 2nd variable is quantitative because it
refers to or relating to a measurement of something rather than the quality. We
also know that jumps can only take whole numbers, not decimal. Therefore it is
also discrete. Hence, the 2nd variable is:
quantitative and discrete
Answer:
The amount of depreciation expense that should be recorded for the second year is $28,600
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation per units or bolts under the units-of-production method is shown below:
= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production bolts)
= ($206,520 - $11,000) ÷ (752,000 bolts)
= ($195,520) ÷ (752,000 bolts)
= $0.26 per bolt
Now for the second year, it would be
= Production units in second year × depreciation per bolts
= 110,000 units × 0.26
= $28,600
