Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given information states that bananas and tangerines are substitute goods. We know that the cross price elasticity of substitute goods is positive which means that there is a positive relationship between the price of one good and the quantity demanded for substitute good.
Therefore, in our case as the price of bananas increases and all the other factors remains constant then as a result the quantity demanded for tangerines increases.
Answer:
c) Inventory (beginning) and Purchases.
Explanation:
When you use perpetual inventory system, you must record cost of goods sold every time you make a sale. But when you use a periodic inventory system, you close cost of goods sold with merchandise inventory account at the end of the period.
beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory = cost of goods sold
If for every $10 increase sales drop by 3 units when you increase to $300 you will lose 30 units.
($10)(10) = 100
(10)(3) = 30
60 units - 30 units = 30 units.
($300)(30) = $9,000 is your weekly revenue at a price of $300 per unit.
In order to properly tackle this problem, we must understand the relationship between the nominal annual rate and real (effective) annual rate.
To do this:
-First you take the nominal rate, divide by the number of times it's compounded (converted) per year.
-Then, add one to that number, and raise that number to the power of how many times you compound per year.
Here is the method in practice:
First 3 Years:
Nominal rate= 2% ÷ 12 times/yr = 0.001667
Effective rate = 1.001667 ^12 = 1.020184
Next 2 Years (Discounting)
3% ÷ 2/yr = .015
1.015 ^ 2 = 1.061364
Next 4 years (Interest)
.042 ÷ .5 (once every 2 years) = .084
1.084 ^ (1/2) = 1.041153
The last 3 years are already expressed as an effective rate, so we don't need to convert them. The annual rate is:
1.058
I kept the 1 in the numbers (1.058 instead of 5.8% for example) so that it's easier to find the final number
Take every relevant number and raise it to the power of the number of years it's compounded for. For discounting, raise it to a negative power.
First 3 years: 1.020184 ^ 3 = 1.061784
Next 2 years: 1.030225 ^ -2 = .942184
Next 4 years: 1.041163 ^ 4 = 1.175056
Last 3 years: 1.058 ^ -3 = .84439
Multiply these numbers (include all decimals when you do this calculation)
1.062 * .942 * 1.175 * .844 = .992598
This is our final multiplier to find the effect on our principal:
.992598 * 2,480 = 2461.64
Answer is 2461.64
