Solution:

1) Finished goods inventory cost $48300

2) a. Higher operating income method variable costing

2) b. Difference in reported income $26,390

1. To know the number of units remaining in closing stock :

Opening inventory + production - sales => 2200 + 19300 - 20600

                                                                => 900 units

Now,

Cost per unit under variable cost = (direct material + direct labour + variable manufacturing overhead)/ number of units manufactured

=>($573,210 + $277,920 + $185,280) / 19,300

=>$53.7 per unit

finished goods inventory cost using variable costing = $53.7*900 units                      

                                                                                      =>$48300

2) a. variable costing

Since the number of units in closing inventory reduced, the variable costing will show a higher income.

2) b. difference in reported income

= (change in closing units ) *( current year overhead absorption)

here,

change in closing units = 2,200 units - 900 units

                                       =>1300 units

current year overhead absorption = fixed manufacturing overhead / units produced.

=> 391,790 / 19,300 units

=>$20.3 per unit

now,

difference in reported income = $20.3 * 1,300 units

                                                  =>$26,390

What is the primary disadvantage of outdoor advertising? it provides low flexibility it permits low repeat exposure it provides
nikklg [1K]
The primary disadvantage of outdoor advertising is that it provides little audience selectivity. It is because in outdoor advertising, they try to advertise or make known of their products by placing it on billboards, placing it on vehicles or any exterior places that could be placed on. What makes it have little audience selectivity is that the people who could only notice it is those who could be able to see the advertisement. With that, it makes only few people see it and does not target a lot of consumers.

The Federal Reserve's tools to control the money supply include open-market operations, the discount rate, and interest payments
leva [86]

Answer:

PART-1  

How should each instrument be changed if the Fed wishes to decrease the money supply?

The Fed would deportment open-market sales, increase the discount rate, and raise interest paid on reserves.

PART-2)  

Will the change affect the monetary base and/or the money multiplier?

The money multiplier refers to the capacity of money that financial institute like banks produce with each dollar of funds. Money base is exaggerated by the open-market processes and discount rate. Any alteration in interest expenditures on reserves modifies the money multiplier.

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Interest= $26,131.91

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $2,000

Number of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 5%

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.05^20) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $66,131.91

<u>Now, we can determine the interest earned:</u>

Interest= future value - total investment

Interest= 66,131.91 - 20*2,000

Interest= $26,131.91
