Answer:

B) There has been economic growth in our society.

Explanation:

The American economy has consistently been the largest economy in the world since 1871, while the rest of the economic podium has changed a lot. Currently the Chinese economy is number 2, but just a few years ago the Japanese economy was on second place. The United Kingdom is currently a large economy, but it was number 1 before the US, and then it continued to fall to the sixth place. Argentina was once of the largest economies and richest economies in the world, and now it is a developing nation.

The only constant position (at least until China surpasses the US) during the last 150 years has been the US at number 1.

That doesn't mean that the US economy grew every year and there were no recessions. The largest global recession originated in the US in 1929, the Great Depression. And just a few years back, in 2008 the Great Recession hit the US. The US has suffered from several minor recessions as well.

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Estimated Warranty Liability A/c Dr $14,000

         To Merchandise Inventory  $14,000

Hence, all other options are wrong except last one

Vaughn Corporation had 303,000 shares of common stock outstanding on January 1, 2017. On May 1, Vaughn issued 31,200 shares.
Helga [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the  weighted-average number of shares outstanding  in each cases is as follows:

a. At the time when the shares are issued at cash

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (31,200 × 8 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 20,800

= 323,800 shares

b. At the time when the shares are issued in the stock dividend

= (303,000 × 12 ÷ 12) + (29,700 × 12 ÷ 12)

= 303,000 + 29,700

= 332,700 shares

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

$27,250

Explanation:

The computation of incremental income or loss on reworking the units is shown below:-

For computing the incremental income or loss on reworking the units first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

Incremental revenue per unit = Selling price after rework - Selling price as scrap

= $22.00 - $5.60

= $16.40

Total Incremental Revenue = Incremental revenue per unit × Total defective units

= $16.40 × 2,500

= $41,000

Total rework costs = Total defective units × Defects per unit

= 2,500 × $5.50

= $13,750

Now,

Incremental income or loss on reworking the units = Total Incremental Revenue - Total rework costs

= $41,000 - $13,750

= $27,250

How do future expectations about the price of a good affect the present supply?
stiks02 [169]

Future expectations about price, can be a demand and supply shifter.

If producers know that prices will go up in the near future, they will be less likely to produce more now. They will want to sell when prices are higher. The reverse is true, if consumers know that prices will go down in the future they will be less likely to purchase now.

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$83,300

Explanation:

Total at retail:

= Beginning inventory + Purchases - Purchase return + Transfers in from suburban branch

= $24,800 + $136,600 - $3,000 + $13,000

= $171,400

Ending inventory at retail:

= Total at retail + Net markups - Net markdowns - (sales - sales return) - Normal shortage

= $171,400 + $8,100 - $3,900 - ($94,300 - $2,500) - $500

= $171,400 + $8,100 - $3,900 - $91,800 - $500

= $83,300
