Answer:
A) an increase in the price of other kinds of candy
Explanation:
If the price of substitute products (other types of candy) increases, then the suppliers of chewing gum can increase their price without the quantity demanded decreasing. If the decrease in the price of chewing gum is smaller than the increase in the price of substitute products, the quantity demanded will increase.
If there was a price increase of the main ingredients used to produce chewing gum, then the supply curve would shift to the left (option B is wrong).
If the workers signed an agreement that lowered their wages, then the supply curve would shift to the right (option C is wrong).
A decrease in the number of young people in the market would decrease the quantity demanded for chewing gum, which in turn would decrease the equilibrium price (option D is wrong).
A decrease in income would also decrease the quantity demanded, which would in turn decrease the equilibrium price (option E is wrong).
Complete question:
Perch Co. acquired 80% of the common stock of Float Corp. for $1,600,000. The fair value of Float's net assets was $1,850,000, and the book value was $1,500,000. The non-controlling interest shares of Float Corp. are not actively traded. What amount of goodwill should be attributed to the non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition?
a. 150,000
b. 250,000
c. 0
d. 120,000
e. 170,000
Answer:
150,000
of goodwill should be attributed to the non-controlling interest at the date of acquisition
Solution:
A non-controlling interest (NCI) is a role in which a owner holds less than 50% of remaining and has little control over decisions. A minority ownership is often known as the minority interest. Non-controlling interests are calculated by their net worth and are not eligible for future right to vote.
Now , Calculate the amount
Cost(PP) - 1,600/0.8 = 2,000
FV - 1,850
GW = 1,850 - 2,000
= 150,000
Answer:
C. Step variable cost
Explanation:
Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.
Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.
In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer. This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.
Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.

Foreign exchange
Explanation:
The process of converting the currency of one country to another is known as foreign exchange or Forex. Converting or exchanging to a particular currency is buying that currency. One needs to have their home currency or any other currency to convert it to the desired currency.
