Answer:

a. 62.5

b. 60%

c. $160,000; $352,000

Explanation:

a. Price Index = (Price in year of interest/ Price in Base year) * 100

= (10/16) * 100

= 62.5

b. Rose from 62.5 in 1984 to 100 in 2005

= (100 - 62.5)/62.5

= 60%

c. Using 2005 as the Base year means that the Real GDP will be based on 2005 prices.

Real GDP 1984

= 10,000 buckets * 16

= $160,000

Real GDP 2005

= 22,000 * 16

= $352,000

Question Completion:

Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.

Answer:

Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.

Explanation:

This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period.  Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period.  The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.

Alchen [17]

Answer: Anchoring bias

Explanation: Anchoring bias is described as the tendency to focus on one value or idea known as the “anchor” and not adjust away from it sufficiently (the simple act of thinking of the first number strongly influences the second, even though there is no logical connection between them); It is also defined as the tendency of people to place subsequently refined answers to a given question close to the initially estimated answer, giving unduly weight to the initial answer, such as adjusting the initial estimate of 10% to 20% when 90% would have been more appropriate.

Some examples of anchors might include: real estate listing prices, initial cost estimates for development projects, salary of your last job etc.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

The average fixed cost to produce 7,000 can openers was <u>$17,000</u>

Explanation:

The fixed cost are those who don't change based on the production levels, while the variable costs depends on the production.

If we add variables cost with fixed cot we will get the total cost.

Variable cost + Fixed Cost = Total cost

Then for knowing the fixed cost we should substract to the total cost the variable cost

Fixed Cost = Total Cost - Variable Cost     <em>Now replace the values </em>

Fixed Cost = $45,000 - 28,000

Fixed Cost = $ 17,000

The average fixed cost to produce 7,000 can openers was <u>$17,000</u>
