Answer:

LIFO Periodic method

Explanation:

The LIFO means Last In First Out this means that item that have been stocked today would be sold first although there’s still some inventory from previous periods.

Using LIFO would result in lower ending inventory because closing inventory would be valued at low price which they had been bought assuming that there’s now a hick in price and goods in the warehouse were stocked when prices were low.

LIFO is used for the manipulation of profit.

$2.25

Explanation:

Please check the attached image for the full question used in answering this question

Breakeven sales is the quantity sold at which net income is equal to zero.

Breakeven sales = fixed cost / (price per unit - variable cost per unit )

$1,215,000 / ($80 - $35) = 27,000

If Highway 55 Studios can reduce fixed expenses by $60,750, variable cost =

27,000 = ($1,215,000 - $60,750) / ($80 - V)

27,000 = 1,154,250 / ($80 - V)

V = $37.25

Variable cost would increase by : $37.25 - $35 = 2.25

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Individual Cost Shares to be enjoyed

Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67%

Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%

Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%

Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%

You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%

Explanation:

peaked preferences

Most preferred value to spend :

Mabel = $10,000

Gertrude = $20,000

Myron = $30,000

Wilber = $40,000

you = $50,000

cost of Condo = $150,000

<u>Implementing a Uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares </u>

The uniform rule ; ∑ j∈I Uj (p) = Ω.

where Ω = fixed amount of resource

hence the summation of all allotment should = Ω ( $150,000 )

Number of friends = 5

cost of condo = $150,000

If divide equally each person will have to pay ; $150,000 / 5 = $30,000

Total money to be spent by friends = 10,000 + 20,000 + 30,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = $150,000

Individual Cost shares to be enjoyed

Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67∑%

Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%

Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%

Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%

You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%

∑shares ≈ 100% ( 150,000 )

Terms of trade Suppose that Greece and Germany both produce oil and stained glass. Greece's opportunity cost of producing a pane

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Greece has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass.

Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.

Greece can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of oil.

Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 0.1 pane of stained glass.

Trade price in this situation will be 8 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass and 6 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass.

Explanation:

Greece and Germany both produce oil and stained glass.

Greece's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 4 barrels of oil

Germany's opportunity cost of producing a pane of stained glass

= 10 barrels of oil

Greece has a comparative advantage in the production of stained glass as it has lower opportunity cost.

Greece's opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil

= $\frac{1}{4}$

= 0.25 pane of stained glass

Germany's opportunity cost of producing a barrel of oil

= $\frac{1}{10}$

= 0.1 pane of stained glass

Germany has a comparative advantage in the production of oil as it has lower opportunity cost.

Greece can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than 4 barrels of oil. Germany can gain from trade as long as it receives more than 0.1 pane of stained glass.

Both the countries will gain from trade if the trade price lies between their opportunity cost. So trade price in this situation will be 8 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass and 6 barrels of oil per pane of stained glass.

Kamila [148]

Answer:

(a) 7.5%

(b) 8.5%

Explanation:

(a) Foreign country inflation rate - US inflation rate = Foreign country risk free rate - US risk free rate

Lets foreign country inflation rate = X

X - 1.5 = 8 - 2

X - 1.5 = 6

X = 6 + 1.5

= 7.5%

(b)

Lets foreign country infllation rate = X

X - 1.5 = 9 - 2

X - 1.5 = 7

X = 7 + 1.5

= 8.5%

(c)

Lets foreign country inflation rate = X

X - 1.5 = 10 - 2

X - 1.5 = 8

X = 7 + 1.5

= 9.5%
