Answer:

Explanation:

I will start by explaining the question, although it's incomplete.

This is Economics, first of all. The Malaysian government needs to or wants to spend on some goods. Since the law of Economics states that human needs always exceed the available resources to cater for them all at once; the Malaysian government is in a state of 'choice'!

Choice involves catering for certain needs at one time, while leaving the others undone. So the two goods here are war ships and drinking water.

The Malaysian government economic policy makers are trying to check the benefits and possible effects of trading the provision of drinking water for the purchase of war ships. I suppose they're tending towards the purchase of war ships because presently, there is war or insecurity in the land. If this be the case, the nominal costs, opportunity costs, and real costs of spending more on war ships than on drinking water, should be examined.

Opportunity cost is the cost of the forgone alternative; which is drinking water in this case. <em>Will more people (citizens) die if there are no new war ships provided at this time OR will more people (citizens) die if there is no extra provision of drinking water at this time? </em>This is the summary of all the questions in the question text above!

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

B. 100 shares of ABC preferred stock

Explanation:

Shares are ownership stakes of a company that are given out to individuals who contribute to capital base of a company.

Preference shares are those whose owners recieve preference in payment of dividends, a fixed dividend is paid to them.

Ordinary shares recieve less preference when dividend is paid, usually coming last in divedend payment.

In this scenario ABC has decided to pay 10% stock dividend. This will be paid to ordinary share holders.

So the person with 100 preference shares will have 100 preference shares

10% of par value of $100 is 0.1 * 100= $10

Number of shares are 100 so the value is now 100 * $10 = $1,000

Since the conversion rate of preference to ordinary shares is 10:1

Number of preference shares= 1,000 ÷ 10= 100 preference shares

Exercise 19-08 a-b Oriole Corporation incurred the following costs while manufacturing its product.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

$371,700

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured  = Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory

where,

Manufacturing overhead cost is

= Depreciation on plant + Factory supplies used + Property tax on plant

= $61,000 + $29,300 + $21,800

= $112,100

The cost of goods manufactured is

= $126,400 + $113,500 + $112,100 + $14,600 - $16,700

= $349,900

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

= $70,900 + $349,900 - $49,100

= $371,700

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

Interest= $26,131.91

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual deposit= $2,000

Number of periods= 20 years

Interest rate= 5%

<u>First, we need to calculate the future value using the following formula:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.05^20) - 1]} / 0.05

FV= $66,131.91

<u>Now, we can determine the interest earned:</u>

Interest= future value - total investment

Interest= 66,131.91 - 20*2,000

Interest= $26,131.91

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

The remaining part of the question is:

Which of the following statements are TRUE?

I New issues of Treasury Bills are generally priced at par

II New issues of Treasury Bonds are generally priced at par, or at a slight discount to par

III New issues of Agency Bonds are generally priced at par, or at a slight discount to par

A. I only

B. III only

C. II and III only

D. I, II, III

Correct Answer:

C. II and III only

Explanation:

It is a fact that virtually all new issues of T-Bills are always sold at a discount to par value. These are original issue discount obligations, with the accrued value of the discount being the interest income earned on these securities.

<em>Treasury Bonds and Agency Bonds are issued at par or in most cases at a very slight discount to par, and make periodic interest payments.</em>

rabapples, Inc. purchases and sells boxes of dried fruit. The following information summarizes its operating activities for the​
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

$40.875

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling Expenses = $ 9,600

Merchandise Inventory on December 31 = 33,000

Merchandise Inventory on January 1 = 47,000

Purchases of merchandise = 83,500

Rent for store = 12,100

Sales commissions = 7,300

Sales revenue = 168,500

Cost of goods sold:

= Beginning merchandise inventory + Merchandise purchase - Ending merchandise inventory

= $47,000 + $83,500 + $33,000

= $163,500

If Crabapples sold 4,000 boxes of dry fruit during the​ year, then the cost per box of dry fruits is:

= Cost of goods sold ÷ Number of boxes sold

= $163,500 ÷ 4,000

= $40.875
