Complete question :
Your company has sales of $101,500 this year and cost of goods sold of $66,300. You forecast sales to increase to $118,900 next year. Using the percent of sales method, forecast next year's cost of goods sold. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 temporarily allows 100% bonus depreciation (effectively expensing capital expenditures). However, we will still include depreciation forecasting in this chapter and in these problems in anticipation of the return of standard depreciation practices during your career The forecasted cost of goods sold (COGS) is $ ___________ (Round to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
$77,666
Explanation:
Given the following :
Sales for the year = $101,500
Cost of goods sold =$66,300
Forecasted increase in sales for next year = $118,900
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year =?
Percentage cost of goods sold for this year:
Cost of goods sold / sales for this year
$66300/$101500
= 0.6532019
Forecasted cost of goods sold for next year:
(Forecasted increase in next year's sale * % cost of goods sold for this year)
= 118,900 * 0.6532019
= $77665.714
= $77666 ( nearest dollar)
Answer:
A) The amount of the premium in fair insurance policy that replaces Beths car, must be equal to the probability or expectation of claim of car theft.
Therefore, the Premium amount = 20000 x (1/200)
= 20000 (0.005)
= $100
B) If an Insurance company charges 0.6% for replacing a stolen car, then the policy will cost beth:
20000* 0.6%
= 12,000/100
= $ 120
C) To be risk-neutral means to be indifferent to the risk. This means that Beth would be indifferent. She most likely will be focused on maximizing value for money. In other words, she will NOT pay for the insurance policy in part b because part A provides her with the exact (or fair) premium for her insurance.
D) The moral hazard problem is this, people tend to become more careless with an insurance policy in place. This moral hazard arises form the knowledge that there is an insurance policy that caters to their risks.
As a matter of practice, therefore, insurance companies factor this increased risk into their premiums. Where the premium was supposed to be $100, they may charge $120.
In summary, it means that Beth most likely will move from becoming risk neutral to becoming (to a certain degree) more risk loving.

<span>This is because the tax on a carton of cigarette is about $10plus. It used to be $3plus before the Obama administration and when the cost of tax is added to the sales price, it makes it more expensive for the average consumer, however, black market sellers usually avoid paying taxes thats why it is black market.</span>
