Answer:
$91,100
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total cost of merchandise purchased
Using this formula
Total cost of merchandise purchased = Invoice cost of merchandise purchases + Cost of transportation in - Purchase returns and allowances - Purchase discount
Let plug in the formula
Total cost of merchandise purchased= $100,000 + $500 - $400 - $9,000
Total cost of merchandise purchased= $91,100
Therefore the total cost of merchandise purchased is $91,100
Answer:
a) diluted earnings per share = 0
Explanation:
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) is a recalculation of the basic EPS. The difference between DEPS and EPS is, EPS represents the current position of earnings per share. No changes in number shares and/or earnings in the future are incorporated in the basic EPS.
Whereas DEPS is a representation of not only the current position of earnings and shares but also includes the commitments an entity has already made whose occurrence may result in an increase/decrease in the amount of earnings and/or number of shares. For example, in the question Culver Company has issued 10-year convertible bonds which right now have no impact on basic EPS but if in the future these bond holders exercise their right of conversion, this would result in an increase in number of ordinary shares hence decreasing/diluting the basic EPS. The entities use DEPS to show shareholders the impact of such commitments on the basic EPS to improve their decision making.
So in 2017 none of the bonds were converted therefore no diluted earnings per share is calculated in 2017.
If all of the bonds were converted in 2017 the DEPS would have been calculated as follows:
The formula for calculating DEPS is as follows;
DEPS = (Net income + interest savings) ÷ number of ordinary shares + increase in ordinary shares as a result of conversion.
Tax savings as a result of conversion=$128400 ($2140000×6%). Because if bond holders convert into ordinary shares then Culver company will not have to pay them interest and hence the amount of interest is saved.
Increase in ordinary shares upon conversion= 29960 ($2140000÷$1000=2140 bonds. Each bond is convertible into 14 shares therefore, 2140×14=29960).
Now Lets calculate DEPS as follows;
DEPS = ($296000+$128400) ÷ 91000+29960
DEPS =$424400÷120960
DEPS = $3.5
Answer:
The correct answer is b) a Ponzi scheme.
Explanation:
The Ponzi Scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that involves paying investors interest obtained from the money of new investors (and not from the generation of genuine profits). It is a pyramidal system, in which the only way to share benefits requires that participants recommend and capture (refer) to more clients with the objective that new participants produce benefits to primary participants.
This system does not invest in financial or other instruments, it only redistributes money from some investors to others, so the system works only if the number of investors in the pyramid continually grows; once people stop entering the "business", the scammer is prevented from fulfilling his promise and the pyramid collapses

Answer:
✔️Demand Pull Inflation:
1. Too much money chasing too few goods
2. Stiff competition among consumers
✔️Cash Pull Inflation:
1. Increase in cost of production
2. Decrease in supply of goods and services
3. Aim of sellers is to maximize profit
Explanation:
Demand pull inflation is often caused by the increase in the aggregate demand of outputs than an economy can produce as a result of increased government spending, expanding economy and so on.
On the other hand, cash pull inflation is caused by the decrease in aggregate supply of goods and supply as result of increased cost of the factors of production.
Thus, let's match each description to the types of inflation they belong to:
✔️Demand Pull Inflation:
1. Too much money chasing too few goods (excess demand as a result of expanding economy)
2. Stiff competition among consumers (businesses, households, governments and foreign buyers bid prices up and compete to purchase the limited available goods and services)
✔️Cash Pull Inflation:
1. Increase in cost of production (this pushes the cost of goods and services up)
2. Decrease in supply of goods and services (aggregate supply decreases)
3. Aim of sellers is to maximize profit (as production cost increase, sellers would have to increase the price of goods and services in order not to run at a loss).
