Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) $2,600

Explanation:

Given data;

The data given can be tabulated below for easy understanding

Pairs                        Flow         Distance          Flow distance

X-y                              30            20                     600

Y-Z                            280             10                     2800

Z-X                            180             10                      1800

Total flow = 600 +2800 + 1800 = 5200

To calculate the total weekly cost, we use the formula;

Total weekly  cost is =  Total flow * Cost of per load

                                    = 5200 *0.5

                                     $2,600

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Income +/- inventory adjustment

2015:   138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000

2016:  254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000

2017:   168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000

Explanation:

<u>Inventory Identity:</u>

Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS

As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS

<u><em>When the inventory is overstated</em></u> this means COGS is understated.

We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.

<u><em>When the inventory is understated</em></u> this means COGS is overstated.

We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Refer to the Article Summary. Implementing a negative interest rate policy, as is discussed in the article summary, would be designed to ___lower_____ the price level and ___improve_____ real GDP.

Explanation:

The Fed will consider negative interest rates when it wants to increase borrowing and lending during economic recessions.  The effects of a negative interest rate are the reduction of the cost of borrowing economy-wide and the increase of economic activity.  The increased economic activity will be achieved through increased investments and increased consumption spending.  Thus, banks and consumers are encouraged to lend and borrow more money so that the economy can spend its way out of recession.

Which of the following airlines does NOT employ a low-cost provider strategy? Airline 1 offers low prices on short-distance flig
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Airline 2 offers low prices on long-distance flights and has long service times for its planes between flights.

Explanation:

Low Cost providing strategy is the strategy in which the services are provided at a lower cost and but the quality of service is acceptable, and is in fact good.

Where the price along with quality is decreased the low cost strategy is not followed.

As in the case of Airline 2 the cost is decreased for passengers and at the same time the service is also decreased.

As there is a long gap of time in between the flights.
