Answer and explanation:

The statements are correct because using the perpetual inventory system implies recording purchases and returns at the same moment items are received or sold. The Cost of Goods account is updated every time their inventory exists. On the other hand, the periodic inventory system records buying or selling activities following a schedule that could be every month, quarter or once per year. The Cost of Goods account is used occasionally.

In a market with an upward sloping supply curve and a downward sloping demand curve, when there is an excess supply, the actual
erik [133]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the actual price is higher than equilibrium price.

Explanation:

With a downward sloping demand curve and upward-sloping supply curve, excess supply means that the supply is more than quantity demanded. The actual price is higher than the equilibrium price level.  

We are aware that price and supply are directly related, so the firms will supply more at a higher price. But price and quantity demanded are inversely related, so at higher price, the consumers will demand less quantity of the product.  

Thus excess supply is created in the market at a price higher than the equilibrium price.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer: Short term is less costly

Explanation:

Total interest cost under long term financing = 800,000 × 12% × 2

= $192,000

Total interest cost under short term financing = (800,000 × 7% ×1)+ (800,000 × 13.95% × 1) =

= $167,600

Based on the above solution, Short term financing is less costly.
