Answer:

Property taxes on the factory building - period costs.

Property taxes are period costs because it is a cost associated with a particular period of time (tax season), and because this cost cannot be capitalized in inventory, fixed assets, or prepaid expenses.

Production superintendents’ salaries - period costs.

The salaries of management workers such as superintendents are period costs because they are not direct labor.

Memory boards and chips used in assembling computers - direct materials.

The memory boards and chips are direct materials used to assemble the computers, therefore, they are a direct materials cost.

Depreciation on the factory equipment - period costs.

Depreciation is a period cost because it cannot capitalized in fixed assets, since it actually reduces the value of those.

Salaries for assembly-line quality control inspectors - period costs.

Inspectors and supervisors are part of lower-management, and as result, their salaries are also considered period costs.

Sales commissions paid to sell laptop computers - period costs.

A sale commission is a period cost because it is a selling expense. The comission is an incentive for sellers to perform better, by it is not in itself a part of the cost of goods sold.

Electrical components used in assembling computers - direct materials.

The electrical components are used to assemble the computers, therefore, they represent a direct materials cost.

Wages of workers assembling laptop computers - direct labor.

The workers are directly making the computers, without them, the computers could not be assembled. Therefore, their wages are a direct labor cost.

Soldering materials used on factory assembly lines - manufacturing overhead.

The assembly line is needed to make the goods, but it is not in itself a part of the good. Besides, the cost of running the assembly line does not depend directly on the number of goods produced. It varies relatively close to that number, but the relation is not exact, and linear. Therefore, these soldering materials are manufacturing overhead.

Salaries for the night security guards for the factory building - period costs.

Night security guards are an administrative cost. They are not necessarily needed to produce the goods, they are hired to protect the factory's security. And administrative costs are considered period costs.

Consumer surplus is A. the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay and the price the consumer actually
ss7ja [257]

Answer is A

Explanation: Consumer surplus actually happens when a customer is willing and ready to pay for a particular product than its current market price. It is a measure of the additional benefits a consumer gets after paying for a product even though they are willing to pay more.

For example: Let's assume you want to get a IPhone 8 plus and you value it at $800 dollars, which you are ready to pay, but realise it is sold at $700. When you buy it at $700, the customer surplus is $100, that is a difference between how much you were willing to pay and the price you eventually got it.

Consumer Surplus changes as the equilibrium price of a good rises or falls. If the price of a good rises, the consumer surplus decreases but when the price of the good falls, the consumer surplus increases.

Joann wants to save for her daughter's education. Tuition costs $10,000 per year in today's dollars. Her daughter was born today
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Joann wants to save for her daughter's education. Tuition costs $10,000 per year in today's dollars. Her daughter was born today and will go to school starting at age 18. She will go to school for 4 years. She can earn 11% on her investments and tuition inflation is 6%.

First, we must find the cost of the tuition for 18 years and so on from now.

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 10,000*(1.06)^18= 28,543.39

Year 2= 28,543.39*1.06= 30,256

Year 3= 30,256*1.06= 32,071.36

Year 4= 32,071.36= 33,995.64

Total= 124,866.39

Now, we can calculate the annual deposit:

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

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

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

A= (124,966.39*0.11)/[(1.11^18)-1]= $2,479.69

You come across a scientific study reported in the New York Times. The study says that adults who played varsity sports in high
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.

The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.

The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.

Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.

Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.

I hope this answer helps.
