Answer: Costs of items used up this period but paid for next period
Explanation:
Period Expenses for the period are transactions that should be expensed because they were used in the current period.
Therefore if a period cost is not used in the period, it is not considered a period cost even if the company pays for it in the current period which also means that if a period cost for the period is not paid in the current period but in the next one, it is still a period cost for the current period.
From the above therefore, the period cost is the cost of items used up in this period but paid for in the next one.
The land purchased might look like the obvious choice but it is not because Assets are capitalised and not expensed.

Answer:
b. 7.28%
Explanation:
This question is asking for the yield to maturity(YTM) of the bond. You can solve this using a financial calculator with the inputs below. Additionally, adjust the coupon payment(PMT) and time to maturity(N) to semiannual basis.
Time to maturity; N = 5*2 = 10
Face value; FV = 1000
Price of bond; PV = -1071
Semiannual coupon payment; PMT = (9%/2) *1000 = 45
then compute semiannual interest rate; CPT I/Y = 3.64%
Next, convert the semiannual rate to annual rate(YTM) = 3.64% *2
YTM = 7.28%
Answer:
The option that maximizes Maggie's taste index is 1 snack bar and 2 ice creams
Explanation:
<u>snack bar</u> <u>ice cream</u>
37 grams 65 grams
120 calories 160 calories
5 grams of fat 10 grams of fat
Maggie wants to consume up to 450 calories and 25 grams of fat, but she needs at least 120 grams of dessert per day. Ice cream taste 95, snack bars 85.
- maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)
- 5X + 10Y ≤ 25 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 1
- 120X + 160Y ≤ 450 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 2
- 37X + 65Y ≥ 120 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 3
- X ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 4
- Y ≥ 0 ⇒ CONSTRAINT 5
maximum possible combinations following constraint 1, 4 AND 5:
- option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (5 + 20 = 25)
- option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (10 + 10 = 20)
- option 3: 3 snack bars - 1 ice cream (15 + 10 = 25)
possible combinations following constraint 2:
- option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (120 + 320 = 440)
- option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (240 + 160 = 400)
possible combination following constraint 3:
- option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams (37 + 130 = 167)
- option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream (74 + 65 = 139)
since we only have two possibilities, we can calculate which one generates the highest taste index
maximize taste index = [85(37X) + 95(65Y)] / (37X + 65Y)
- option 1: 1 snack bar - 2 ice creams = [85(37) + 95(130)] / (37 + 130) = (3,145 + 12,350) / 167 = 92.78
- option 2: 2 snack bars - 1 ice cream = [85(74) + 95(65)] / (74 + 65) = (6,290 + 6,175) / 139 = 89.68
