Answer:

The resulting rise in unemployment is mostly a rise in __cyclical____ unemployment because it is related to the state of the economy.

Explanation:

Frictional unemployment occurs as a result of workers' search for or transition to new jobs.  It is brief and does not leave a mark on the economy.  Structural unemployment comes about when the skills of workers do not match the requirements of employers.  Therefore, workers require retraining and reskilling.  Cyclical unemployment relates to the macro-economic situation that is prevailing during periods of recession.

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $18.00, and the item purchased second cost
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used

Explanation:

To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.

<u>Option A</u>

Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.

Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)

Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)

Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.

<u />

<u>Option B</u>

If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.

<u />

<u>Option C</u>

The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.

The ending inventory under LIFO is $18

The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5

Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.

Kobotan [32]

The correct option is C - Increase assets and increase liabilities
