Answer:
B
Explanation:
It is said that the required ending inventory for the month is $15000 and 20% of the next month's sales.
We are considering the month of march here, therefore the ending merchandise inventory is $15000- and 20% of April's sales.
Given:
April's sales = $91,000
Hence, 20% of April's sales = 0.2*91000 = $18200
Hence, ending merchandise inventory for March = 15000 + 18200 = $33,200
Answer:
3.05%
Explanation:
According to Pure Expectation Theory, the future short term interest rates are actually the forward rates.
Mathematically,
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + r1,0)^1 * (1 + r1,1)^1
Here,
r2,0 is the rate of interest for 2 year treasury security from today
r1,0 is the rate of the interest for 1 year treasury security from today
r1,1 is the rate of the interest for 2 year treasury security from Year 1
By Putting Values, we have:
(1 + r2,0)^2 = (1 + 0.04)^1 * (1 + 0.021)^1
(1 + r2,0)^2 = 1.06184
By taking square-root on both sides, we have:
(1 + r2,0) = 1.0305
r2,0 = 3.05%
Answer:
<u>Predatory pricing</u>
Explanation:
A "predator" refers to an animal who survives by "preying" on other animals.
Predatory pricing in a similar sense refers to that form of excessively low pricing which in a way consumes other firms by taking away their share of industry revenues. Such form of pricing is considered illegal and is against healthy competition.
Such pricing eliminates competitors from the market and gradually leads to emergence of a monopoly i.e supremacy of a single firm in the whole industry and thus considered an illegal practice.
In the given case, the retail chain can be alleged to have followed predatory pricing which is substantiated by the fact that it cuts it's prices excessively i.e even below cost , thereby forcing smaller companies to exit the industry.
Answer:
Option b ($150,000 decrease) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Given:
Fixed manufacturing overhead,
= $65
Units,
= 10,000
According to the question,
Current cost is:
= 
= 
($)
The expected cost will be:
= 
By substituting the values, we get
= 
= 
= 
then,
= 
= 
($)
Thus the above is the right answer.
