Answer:

1. Yields a balance sheet inventory amount often markedly less than its replacement cost.  LIFO

2. Results in a balance sheet inventory amount approximating replacement cost.  FIFO

3. Provides a tax advantage (deferral) to a corporation when costs are rising.  LIFO

4. Recognizes (mulches) recent costs against net sales.  LIFO

5. The preferred method when each unit of product has unique features that markedly effect cost. WEIGHTED AVERAGE

Explanation:

1. LIFO yields a balance sheet inventory amount often markedly less than its replacement cost.  The reason is because the in a period of rising costs, since the last stock of goods bought are sold first, this will result in the remaining stock of goods to be of lower costs as they had been bought at an earlier date at a cheaper rate.

2. FIFO results in a balance sheet inventory amount approximating replacement cost because the first set of goods purchased are sold first; and if the assumption holds that costs are rising with time, then the balance stock of goods would have been bought at a later date at a higher cost, hence the value of the balance (ending) inventory will be almost equal to its replacement cost.  

3. LIFO provides a tax advantage (deferral) to a corporation when costs are rising because it results in a lower ending inventory value since the more expensive inventory has been sold. Hence, the closing stock and Net income will be low and income tax will be low.

4. LIFO matches recent costs against net sales because the 'cost of sales' are made up of the recent purchases which are sold first

5. The preferred method when each unit of product has unique features that markedly effect cost is the WEIGHTED AVERAGE because it calculates the average period cost of all goods in stock and apportions the total to individual items.

Perth Mining Company operates two mines for the purpose of extracting gold and silver. The Saddle Mine costs $12,000/day to oper
stepan [7]

Answer:

Operate mine 1 four 4 days and mine 2 during 6 days to obtain minimum cost for the desired output of 850 gold and 18,000 silver

Explanation:

We generate the equation system on excel:

(50g + 3000s) Q_1 --> output generated on Mine 1

(75g + 1,000s) Q_2 --> output generated on Mine 2

12,000 Q1 + 17,000 Q2 = cost of the mines

we do solver to minimize the days of each mine considering a desired output of 18,000 silver and 650 gold:

and get the following:

M1  4 days  output: (50g + 3000s) 4 = 200 g    12,000s

M2 6 days  output: (75g + 1,000s) 6 =  450g      6,000s

Cost: 12,000 x 4 + 17,000 x 6 = 150,000

When we perceive someone as a trouble maker, this may be a perception not a real characteristic of a person?
bixtya [17]
I think if I perceive someone a certain way, then it means I saw something in their behavior that caused me to view them as such.

If I perceive someone as a troublemaker, then something in their behavior suggested that they make trouble. Of course I could be wrong. But in general, someone’s characteristics gives people certain perceptions of them (not taking into account prejudgement as soon as seeing the person).

If someone produced too little of a good, this would suggest that rational choice cannot be applied to many economic decisions.
juin [17]
If someone produced too little of a good, this would suggest that the good was produced to the point where its marginal benefit exceeded its marginal cost.
Both are metrics used in economics for measurement of costs and benefits.
Marginal benefit is the gain the business receives for doing anything "one more time.", while marginal cost is the additional cost the business incurs to produce one more unit.
This means that if someone produced too little of a good, the business gained more than it lost.

Over [174]

Answer: Derived demand

Explanation: Derived demand is a demand for what is used in the manufacturing procedure to produce goods or services in a given period by a company or partly finished materials that satisfy human wants and provide value utilized as inputs in the manufacturing of other goods. This happens as a result of the need for another product used by the customer to satisfy wants or goods that are partly finished.

In this case, Gorilla glass screens are being used to produce laptops, tablets, and smartphones, making Gorilla glass the intermediate good and the later aforementioned, the final good.
