Answer:
b. 3.3%
Explanation:
The nominal interest rate is 5.5%, (110/2000*100), and the inflation was 2.2%
The shortest way to calculate real interest rate is to subtract the inflation from the nominal interest rate, in this case
5.5% - 2.%2 = 3.3%
Answer:
D. The Nash equilibrium is for Firm 1 and Firm 2 each to produce 10.
Explanation:
Firm 2
10 units 20 units
10 units 30 / 50 /
Firm 1 30 35
20 units 40 / 20 /
60 20
(firm 1 /
firm 2)
Firm 1's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 50 = 80
Firm 2's dominant strategy would be to sell 10 units with an expected payoff outcome = 30 + 60 = 90
Since both firms have the same dominant strategy (to produce 10 units), there is a Nash Equilibrium where both firms produce 10 units and each one earns 30.
Answer:
$39,720
Explanation:
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $35,760 - $4,100
Total fixed costs that represent current cash flows = $31,660
Variable costs = 2,600 units * $3.10
Variable costs = $8,060
The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget will be
= $31,660 + $8,060
= $39,720
Answer:
BOP statistics.
Explanation:
Balance of payment statistics is used to record all the flow of goods, services, income, and capital from an economy to other economies. Balance of payment is a comparism between economic unit of a country and the same economic unit in other countries.
Todd, an analyst for the U.S. government, has been given the task of assessing the economic performance of Country X in the international marketplace. Todd will use the BOP statistics as a measure of country X's performance against other countries.
Answer:
Gross profit = net sales revenue - cost of goods sold. But what happens when your company doesn't sell any goods, specially if they only sell services and it is impossible to determine the COGS.
This is basically an accounting issue since the <u>IRS</u> defines COGS as:
- <em>The cost of products or raw materials, including freight </em>
- <em>Storage
</em>
- <em>Direct labor costs (including contributions to pensions or annuity plans) for workers who produce the products
</em>
- <em>Factory overhead the cost of inventory items sold </em>
So if your company doesn't sell any items from inventory, the IRS will not consider that your company incurred in COGS.
Reporting COGS is very useful for deducting business expenses, but it is not mandatory. Also, any expenses deducted as COGS cannot be deducted again as any other type of cost. So it is simply an accounting practice that helps certain industries to report their business expenses more clearly and in an orderly manner. But if it is too complicated to determine your company's COGS, then you can report your expenses in other ways and reduce your problems.
