Answer:

Price index = 125

Explanation:

Given:

Last year paid $24 for a round of golf and $12 to rent a golf cart.

This year it cost you $30 to golf and $15 to rent a cart.

Question asked:

Based on this simple basket of goods, calculate a price index for this year using last year as the base year.

Solution:

Total cost of last year = For a round of golf + Rent of a golf cart

                                    =  $24 + $12 = $36

Total cost of this year =  $30 + $15 = $45

Now, we will find price index for this year by using last year as the base year.

<u>As we know:</u>

Consume\ Price\ Index =\frac{Current\ Period\ Price\ of\ the\ Basket}{Base\ Period\ Price\ of\ the\ Basket} \times100

                                     =\frac{45}{36} \times100=\frac{4500}{36} =125

Thus, price index for this year using last year as the base year is 125

A large account receivable from taylor industries was considered fully collectible at september 30, year 5, the balance sheet da
devlian [24]
Let us assume that the company Taylor Industries bought merchandise from X company. Taylor Industries will record Accounts Payable while X company will record Accounts Receivable. 

Since Taylor Industries will no longer be able to pay off its Account Receivable, X company will have to write off the Accounts Receivable. Writing off Accounts Receivable can be done in two ways.

1) Allowance method:
Bad Debt Expense                            xxxxx
               Allowance for Doubtful accounts           xxxxx
Writing Off Bad Debt:
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts       xxxxx
              Accounts Receivable                              xxxxx

2) Direct Write-off method.
Bad Debt Expense                             xxxxx
              Accounts Receivable                              xxxxx

In the books of Taylor Industries, it must recognize the cancellation of the Accounts Payable from the transaction with X company.

Accounts Payable                           xxxxx
              Other Income                                           xxxxx

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The Z value determinates the level of service at a normalize distribution of (0;1) We then convert this value to the deviation of our distribution by multiplying each other.

The Z value represent the the value at which a 99% or 95% or whatever percent of change of safety is achieve. We convert by our deviation to adapt the normalize distribution of (1;0) to our values.

There is always a chance for stock-out as we work with probabilities and at more higher safety level we require more units to make up for the change of a single customer from nowhere purchase an unexpected amount. As this person can appear anytime and purchase any amount there is always a level of uncertain (5% or  1% or less)
