Answer:

correct option is 2) $600 gain

Explanation:

given data

common stock = 500 shares

par value = $25

sold = 100 share

per share = $49.50

solution

we get here first sale proceed of share that is

sale proceed of share = 100 share × $49.50 per share

sale proceed of share amount  = $4950

and cost of share will be

cost of share = 100 share × $43.50 per share

cost of share = $4350

so here we get gain on sale of share that is

gain = $4950 - $4350

gain on sale = $600

so correct option is 2) $600 gain

Why would the difference between income computed under full costing and income computed under variable costing be relatively sma
r-ruslan [8.4K]

First of all, we have to understand what is Full costing, Variable Costing, and JIT Inventory Management System.

Full Costing

Full costing also know as absorption costing. It allocate all cost to the specific product like fixed cost, variable cost etc.

Absorption costing consider all kind of cost whereas variable costing will only consider cost in variable in nature.

Variable Costing

Variable cost is a method were we only account for those cost that are varied over production output. It will not be a good tacker of profitability but it will help in decision making.

Inventory Management System

JIT stands for Just in Time Inventory. Where basic idea is to buy inventory whenever required, this system doesn't allow holding inventory.

Now coming to the question of why the difference is small when we are operating under JIT Inventory management System is as follows:-

1. Working capital - It is designed to be exceedingly low, so the investment in working capital is very less and will reduce inventory holding cost.

2. Obsolete inventory - Since inventory levels are so low, there is little risk of having much obsolete inventory which in turn will result in less loss.

3. Process time. A thoroughly implemented JIT system should shorten the amount of time required to manufacture products, which may decrease the quoted lead times given to customers placing orders. So the fixed cost will not be incurred on rent etc because of low/ less holding of inventory.

Because of the above factor difference is too small.

nalin [4]

Answer:

The economic principle is "people usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off".

Explanation:

Here, the health club is offering a free one-year membership for the person who attends the most yoga classes in March.

So, there is an opportunity for every individual to get a free one year membership. <em>So, more and more people will try to attend more yoga classes in order to obtain free membership for one complete year. </em>This choice will be made by most of the individuals because they want to get rid of paying fee every month. Hence, <em><u>this will tend every individual to grab and exploit that opportunity to make themselves better off.</u></em>

Thus, the increase in people attending yoga classes is based on the economic principle "people usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off".
