Answer:
1) Household consumption, which accounts for about <u>68%*</u> of the economy, grew at a 4.2% annualized rate during the second quarter of 2016.
*Data obtained from federal government sources.
2) Since household/consumer spending (consumption) represents almost 70% of the nation's GDP, any change will cause a major change in the total GDP. E.g. if consumption increases by 5%, then the whole economy will grow by 5% x 68% = 3.4%.
Answer: cost
Explanation: In simple words, cost refers to the total amount of resources used by an organisation for preparing its relative commodity to sell it to the ultimate customer. It is the sum of expenses incurred for the generation of revenue.
It is the total outflow of resources,therefore , the producers often use it for setting prices so that they can generate the amount of profit they are targeting for.
Hence we can conclude that the correct answer is cost.
Answer:
1. "Would you consider these mixers to be inventory or should they be classified as supplies or equipment?" Why?
The mixers will be part of merchandise inventory since Mei-ling is purchasing them and will later resell them at a higher price and hopefully make a profit. Products classified as supplies or equipment are used by the company in their day to day activities and are not meant for resale.
2. "I’ve learned a little about keeping track of inventory using both the perpetual and the periodic systems of accounting for inventory. Which system do you think is better? Which one would you recommend for the type of inventory that I want to sell?"
The perpetual inventory system is much better than the periodic inventory system, but it is also more expensive to use. Depending on the number of mixers that are going to be sold, you can do it hand or use a computer software which would make things much easier, but you need to spend time (labor) and money to do so.
If Mei-ling is expecting to sell only a small number of mixers, then she could use a periodic inventory system which is much more simple and is only updated every certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually). This is a cheaper system but it is the best alternative.
3. "How often do I need to count inventory if I maintain it using the perpetual system? Do I need to count inventory at all?"
Even if you use the perpetual inventory system, you will eventually need to physically count your inventory in order to make sure that the records have been properly made, but you could do it once or twice a year. Again it depends on the total units that she expects to have in inventory.
There are several ways to earn money and start building job experience while in college. One of the most common is an internship, where you work at a company under supervision of a mentor/intern coordinator, get paid, and often earn college credit. Another way would be to look for a part time or entry-level job in the field you are studying. Many college campuses have a career resource office designed to help students search for and gain relevant employment.
