Walker Company prepares monthly budgets. The current budget plans for a September ending merchandise inventory of 27,000 units.
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

------- JULY AUGUST. SEPTEMBER

Sales 210,000. 300,000 270,000

Ending. 45,000. 40,500. 27,000

total

required. 255,000. 340,500. 297,000

Beginning (31,500) (45,000) (40,500)

purchase 223,500. 295,500. 256,500

Explanation:

the ending would be next month sales times 15%

July ending

August sales x 15%

300,000 x 15% = 45,000

August Ending

September sales x 15%

270,000 x 15% = 40,500

September Ending

October sales x 15%

180,000 x 15% = 27,000

we will add the sales and the desired ending to get the total required for each month

last step we subtract the beginning inventory for each month, as those units are already there and don't need to purchased.

the ending of one month will be the beginning of the next month.

July ending is August beginning

August ending is September beginning

What was Thomas Malthus’s theory of population growth?
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

A population would grow faster than its ability to feed itself.

Explanation:

Thomas Malthus' theory, in my personal beliefs, is remarkably accurate and quite rational. He argued that if one were to have a country/population left unchecked, as in without any form of administration, government, or central authority to balance it, that a population would thus outgrow its resources and thus result in overpopulation and a lack of necessities... something that may, perhaps, lead to eventual extinction.

This is fairly factual when you think of the contemporary age. The earth was previously believed to have a carrying capacity of about 2-40 billion people, an argument that eventually centered on around 7 billion. Today, the earth's maximum carrying capacity is generally percieved to be about 9 billion people. In this age, we currently are nearing 8 billion.

This. Is. An. Issue.

A plethora of earth's resources that life itself depends on is LIMITED. Our freshwater reserves are limited. The amount of animals on this planet, a source of food, is <em>also </em>limited. The amount of plants on this planet, significant sources of energy, food, oxygen, and all sorts of natural processes that keep everything alive, are, unfortunately, limited.

This demands that humans figure a way to require less of these precious resources, fast. By the year of 2150, we'll likely have surpassed our carrying capacity.

For the issue of food, there are options. The primary issue is that humans are omnivores, as in, we love both plants AND animals... in our stomach's, of course. A prime example is myself! Personally, I couldn't live without beef, but I <em>definitely </em>couldn't or wouldn't want to survive without spinach and broccoli, because they are absolutely delicious.

However, despite humans being omnivores, we stubbornly refuse to eat our veggies. . . meaning a mass majority of us prefer to eat meat. We breed our animals to have offspring, giving us more meat. We generically enhance or even create our meat. We love meat.

The issue being that meat is a terrible source of energy. Remember, energy comes from sources of life itself, like the sun! PLANTS take the mass majority of this energy in, not animals. Animals EAT the plants, to where as much as 80% of that initial energy source is lost, disappearing into nothing, and meaning only roughly 20% is absorbed into the animal upon eating the said plant. Then, and only then, HUMANS come to eat the animal, in which 80% of that initial 20% is also lost between these stages.

As you can see, humans end up with barely any amount of this vital energy, simply because we love meat. We feed the plants to the animals to keep them healthy so WE can then eat the said animals, thus resulting in a HUGE loss of energy. We use our land for pastures. We give other resources (like water) to the animals, again, so we can eventually consume them.

The earth is going to run out of resources at one point or another, but our current consumption habits will likely hasten this process as far as freshwater and food.

Ofc, it shouldn't need to be said that if we were ALL to switch to primarily plant-only consumption, we'd probably be set. Getting rid of all our pastures and replacing them with massive farms would give is a surplus of plants, which are remarkably better sources of energy and will thus be able to sustain humans much, much longer. We won't have to worry as much about starving.

Then again, you must ALSO worry about the fragility of plants. They can easily be detroyed by natural disastors and are dependant upon environmental conditions such as weather temperature, climate, and soil. These factors are very limiting, but then you must additionally remember the amount of care they require, as well as they are extremely vunerable to mass destruction (like droughts, burning, flooding, etc., which can wipe out a LOT at once).

Obviously it's a give-or-take thing.

Malthus said it right, three hundred years ago.

I get the length of this post was probably uneccesary but you asked a very good question that gave me an excuse to cover something in-depth.

I am inevitable.

ehidna [41]

Answer:The answer is a

Explanation:

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties which contains the terms and conditions of the contract and which also serve as an evidence that the two parties in the contract has a duty to perform to each other. The terms and conditions of the contract can be enforced in the court of law in case of a breach of contract which may come from either parties in the contract agreement. While, a contract interference is a kind of breach of contract in which one vendor put a pressure on the organization in which they offer service to withdraw from the contract the organization earlier had with one of their competitors in the market. This contract interference can occur when a vendor either force or put a financial inducement on the organization with a view to make them consider their proposal to the organization to eventually agree to abandon the contract they had with their competitors in favour of getting the contract instead of their competitors who should get the contract.

Therefore, from what we can deduce from the question under review, it is clear that A plus linen has engage in contract interference by offering John C Lincoin hospital $5 for every 100 pound of linen they send to them by dropping their current linen service.

Abby consumes only apples. In year1, red apples cost $1 each, green apples cost $2 each, and Abby buys 10 red apples. In year 2,
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Part A)  

Consumer price index is an amount of the average variation over time in the amounts paid by customers for a market basket of customer goods and services.

CPI= (Updated Cost/Base Period Cost) x 100

For multiple products, we have to ruminate the weights or proportion of expenditure of an item

CPI2= (P2Red xQ1Red) + (P2grn x Q1grn) / (P1Red xQ1Red) + (P1grn x Q1grn)

CPI2= (2 x 10) + (1x0)/ (1x10) + (2x0)

CPI2= 2

Based on the CPI in year 2, prices have doubled.

Part B)

Nominal expenditure is the total worth of outcome produced or expended in each year.

In year 1 and year 2, Abby buys

Year 1= $1 x 10= $10

Year 2= $1 x 10= $10

So, nominal expenditure remains constant at $10.

Part C)

Real expenditure is the quantity consumed or the basket in the current year calculated at the base year price.

Base year prices: Red $1& Green $2

Real expenditure in year 1  = (P1rQ1r) + (P1gQ1g)

                                               =$1x10 + X2x0

                                               = $10

Real expenditure in year 2  = (P1rQ2r) + (P1gQ2g)

                                       = (1x 0) + (2 x 10)

                                       = $20

So, real expenditure has increased from $10 to $20

Part D).

Implicit value deflator in year 1, it is the base year so it will be continuously 1 as the actual and nominal amounts are equal.

Implicit price deflator in year  = nominal expenditure/real expenditure

Implicit price deflator in year 1 = 10/10

                                                = 1

Implicit price deflator in year2  = 10/20

                                                = 0.5

Thus, the implicit value deflator proposes that prices have dropped by half. The cause for this is that the deflator evaluations how much Abby standards her appeals using prices dominant in year 1.

We can perceive from this perception that the green apples are appreciated more .And when Abby consumes more green apples in year 2, it appears that her consumption has augmented as the price deflator standards green apples more than the red apples.

Part E)

Abby considers that red apples and green apples as perfect alternatives, then the cost of living in this budget has not changed in both year it costs $10 to eat 10 apples.

Permitting to the CPl, however, the cost of living has gathered. This is because it only takes into justification the detail that the red apple price has gathered; the CPl overlooks the fall in the price of green apples as they were not in the consumption package in year 1.

In difference to the CPI, the implicit value deflator approximations the cost of living has shared.

CPI is calculated based on the Laspreyers Index method, where the amount in the numerator is the amount in the base year. Where as in the Passche price index, the numerator is the Recent price calculated for current capacity of consumption.

The Laspeyres index inclines to exaggerate rise (in a cost of living framework), while the Paasche index tends to understate it, because the indices do not account for the fact that consumers typically react to value variations by changing the amounts that they buy. For example, if prices go up for good X then, at ceteris paribus, amounts of that good should go downcast.
