False. Average fixed costs are totally different from average variable costs. They can only be equal if by chance the fixed costs are equal to variable costs for a specific level of production
Answer:
The journal entries to record service revenue during July should be:
Dr Cash 3,600
Cr Service revenue (80 hours per month) 3,600
Dr Accounts receivable [(115 - 80 hours) x $40] 1,400
Cr Service revenue 1,400
Since the company has collected only the regular hours provided according to the contract, the remaining hours should be recorded as accounts receivable.
Answer:
A) market interest rates are high and falling
Explanation:
Bonds and interest rates have an indirect relationship. When interest rates rise, bond prices tend to fall.
Bonds pay interests on a fixed rate. When market interest rates are rising, investors will prefer investing in other options due their high return as opposed to the fixed returns from bonds. Bonds become less attractive, leading to a decline in prices.
Buying Bonds when the interests are rising means buying at a cheaper rate. When interest rates start falling, bond prices will rise again due to their inverse relationship.
Capital gains occur when an investment is bought at a lower price and sold at a higher price. Buying bonds when interests rate is high and selling when interests are low will lead to capital gains.
Answer:
The answer is: C) The money spent on health care in the United States is not being used effectively.
Explanation:
American citizens spend twice as much as British citizens on health care per year. Even if certain diseases are more common in the US than in Britain, the overall cost of health care is too expensive in the US (100% difference) to be explained by a greater prevalence of just one or two diseases.
The only possible explanation is that the American health care system is not as efficient as the British health care system, therefore health care is more expensive.
Answer:
$13.5 million
Explanation:
Fractional Banking System- This is banking system where banks are required by the central banking authority to keep a certain percentage of their total deposit as the minimum reserve which they cannot lend out.
The idea behind this requirement is to help manage liquidity risk- a situation where a bank does not have enough cash to meet its deposit customers demand.
Required-reserve ratio: The minimum percentage that banks are required to keep as reserve is known as the required-reserve ratio. In this question, it is given as 10%. Multiply this ratio by the total deposit and you will get the required reserve in dollar amount.
Therefore the required reserve for this bank = 10% ×$15 million= $1.5 million
Excess reserve; Excess reserve is the balance of the total deposit over and above the required reserve. The bank can lend and create loan asset from this balance.
It is calculated as = Total deposit - Required reserve
So we apply this to our question
Excess reserve = $15 million - (10% × $15 million)
= $15 million - $1.5 million
= $13.5 million
