Answer:
The correct answer is B. $1,800.00
Explanation:
LIFO Perpetual table is attached.
The table shows purchases, sales and balance of each period.
As the final inventory is 120 units, we suppose the sales of the year. Applying LIFO, our ending inventory cost is 120 units, each one at $15
So, total cost is $1800 (120* 15)
Answer:
The criticism is true to a certain degree, and unjustified to another degree.
Explanation:
It is true in the sense that the U.S. has indeed lost a lot of manufacturing to Mexico, simply because Mexico has far lower labor costs, and U.S. manufacturers have decided to take advantage of that by taking their plants to Mexican states.
It is also true that Mexico has been running a trade surplus with the United States in recent years, mainly because of the large manufacturing sector that Mexico has been developing.
On the other hand, the criticism is unjustified because neither a trade deficit nor the moving of manufacturing to Mexico mean that the United States as a whole is in worst condition than before NAFTA. In fact, most economists agree that free trade is a good thing for the economy as a whole, and that most people benefit from the lower costs and specialization that trade brings about.
The problem lies then, in the people who lose their jobs: formerly unionized manufacturing workers from the Rust Belt, for example. These people need to be helped with government assitance, both in terms of welfare, and training, so that they can find new jobs and make ends meet in the meanwhile.
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.
Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost
Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.
Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)
If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.
Increased; Decreased
Answer:
The value of the stock is $28.57
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Dividend paid at the end of the year, D1 = $2.00 per share
Increase in dividend = $1.50 per share
Growth rate, g = 5% = 0.05
Required rate of return = 12% = 0.12
Now,
Price with constant Dividend Growth model = D1 ÷ ( r - g )
= $2 ÷ ( 0.12 - 0.05 )
= $28.57
Hence,
The value of the stock is $28.57
