Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Income in 2016 = $50,000

Nominal income in 2017 = $70,000

CPI in 2016 = 100

CPI in 2017 = 110

Now,

Purchasing power in 2017 = [ CPI of 2017 ÷ CPI of 2016 ] × Income in 2016

or

Purchasing power =  [ 110 ÷ 100 ] × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = 1.1 × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = $55,000

In your own words, interpret what 33% of all goods and property are owned by 1% of the
Radda [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

It means that there must be a huge number of people that have little or nothing.

The most recent estimate of America's population is 331,000,000 roughly

1% of the population is 331,000,000 * 1/100 = 3,310,000

So that means that 3 million people own 33% of 14 trillion in property alone. These numbers are really hard to imagine.

1 trillion has 12 zeros behind it

so 14 trillion has 12 zeros behind it.

3 million people own 1,400.000,000 = 14 000 000 000 000 dollars worth of property.

That means that each person in that group of 3 million is 1 of 14 , 000, 000 in wealth just in property alone. The goods will dilute this somewhat, but I think you get the idea.

3 million people in the United States are multimillionaires, if they own 100% of the property. Of course that isn't true, but I think it's fair to say that they are not poor either.

Sally Smith incurred expenses of $800 in June which she paid in July. She declared these expenses on her June income statement.
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Accrual

Explanation:

The accounting principle of accrual means that you should register something when the fact that origins the right for the future payment/collecting occurs. It does not matter if the payment is done later, the fact that made you to pay was already done, so we apply accrual and say we already owe that money that we pay later.

In this example, Sally used the principle of accrual for the things in June that she later paid in July... but her expenses were origined in June, so they apply to June.

On January 1, 2020, Cougar Sales, Inc. issued $15,000 in bonds for $14,700. They were 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 9%, and
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$700

Explanation:

If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.

Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300

Bond's Life = 6 years

Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually

Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually

Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.

Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700

Pedregon Corporation has provided the following information: Cost per Unit Cost per Period Direct materials $ 6.95 Direct labor
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The correct answer is $27,675.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Variable manufacturing OH = $1.75

Fixed manufacturing OH = $19,800

Units = 4,500 units

So, we can calculate the total amount of manufacturing overhead cost by using following formula:

Total manufacturing OH = Total variable OH + Total fixed OH

Where, Total variable OH = $1.75 × 4,500 = $7,875

By putting the value, we get

Total Manufacturing OH = $7,875 + $19,800

= $27,675
