What is the term for when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want​
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Productive (technical) inefficiency.

Explanation:

A market failure can be defined as a situation in which the market fails to produce an efficient level of productivity or output that is required to meet consumer demand.

This ultimately implies that, a market failure arises when there is inefficiency in the distribution or allocation of goods and services in a free market.

In Economics, there are two types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services, these includes;

1. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when businesses do not maximise output from the given inputs. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.

In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.

2. Productive (technical) inefficiency: it occurs when businesses produce goods and services that consumers do not want.​ This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.

Brown Street Grocers has a cost of equity of 11.8 percent, a pre-tax cost of debt of 6.9 percent, and a tax rate of 35 percent.
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option E) 9.06% .

Explanation:

Here the cost of equity given is  - 11.8%

Pre tax cost of debt- 6.9%

Tax rate- 35%

So the after tax cost of debt - 6.9% x 65%

= 4.485%

The debt to equity ratio - .6

So the weight of debt - .6 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .375

Weight of equity - 1 / ( 1 + .06 )

= .625

Weighted average cost of capital =

Debts cost x weight of debt + Equity cost x weight of equity

= 4.485 x .375 + 11.8 x .625

= 1.681875 + 7.735

= 9.06%

Serggg [28]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is an NGO that oversees the formulation of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) does the same as well and is also an NGO.

The difference between the above 2 is that the whilst the GASB caters for Government organisations, the FASB caters for private Organizations.

Classifying the above we have,

1. Patents are classified as capital assets. GASB STANDARD.

2. Sidewalks are classified as land improvements. FASB STANDARD

3. Revenues and expenses must be categorized as operating and nonoperating. GASB STANDARD.

4. Tuition and fees must be shown net of any estimated uncollectible amounts. Both a GASB and an FASB STANDARD.

5. Expenses must be reported by program and support (management and general, and fund-raising) function classifications. FASB STANDARD.

6. Statement of cash flows must be prepared using the direct method. GASB STANDARD.

7. The purchase of a building is reported as an investing activity on the statement of cash flows. FASB STANDARD.

8. The receipt of student deposits for housing is reported as a liability, Deposits Held in Custody for Others. Both GASB and an FASB STANDARD.

9. The cash from a debt issuance is reported in the capital and related financing activities section on the statement of cash flows. GASB STANDARD.

10. The collection of historical first editions can be reported as a note rather than on the face of the financial statement provided certain conditions are met. Both a GASB and an FASB STANDARD.

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

wages expense  320,000 debit

              cash                                     218,400 credit

              FICA tax payable                     2,160 credit

             SUTA tax payable                       240 credit

              Social security payable        24,000 credit

             wages income tax payable   75,200 credit

--to record July 15th payment to employees wages--

payroll tax expenses   26,400  debit

FICA tax payable                     2,160 credit

SUTA tax payable                       240 credit

Social security payable        24,000 credit

---to record the payroll tax for the week ended July 15th--

Explanation:

We multiply the wages subjet to taxation by each rate:

social security:

320,000 x 7.5% = 24,000

SUTA

40,000 x 5.4% = 2,160

FICA

40,000 x 0.6% =    240

For this three concepts, the employee will have liability for the same amount for payroll taxes

Income tax 75,200

net wages: 320,000 - 24,000 - 2,160 - 240 - 75,200 = 218,400
