Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows
Account payable A/c Dr $1,800
To Merchandise Inventory A/c $36
To Cash A/c $1,764
(Being the amount due is paid)
The computation is shown below:
For Account payable
= $2,000 - $200
= $1,800
For Merchandise inventory
= ($2,000 - $200) × 2%
= $36
And, the remaining balance is credited to the cash account
Answer:
4.5 and 9
Explanation:
Basket of goods in US=$72.00
Basket of goods in Mexico=224.00 pesos
Nominal exchange rate= 14.00 pesos per dollar
Real Exchange Rate = (Nominal Exchange Rate x Price of the Foreign Basket) / Price of the Domestic Basket
=(14.00 pesos ×$72.00) / 224.00 pesos
=1,008/224.00
=4.5
Nominal exchange rate increased from 14.00pesos per dollar to 28.00 pesos per dollar
Real Exchange Rate = (Nominal Exchange Rate x Price of the Foreign Basket) / Price of the Domestic Basket
=(28.00×$72.00)/224.00 pesos
=2,016/224
=9
Consider a basket of consumer goods. The basket of goods costs $72.00 in the United States. The same basket of goods costs 224.00 pesos in Mexico. The nominal exchange rate is 14.00 pesos per dollar. The real exchange rate between U.S. and Mexican baskets of goods is 4.5 baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods. Now suppose the nominal exchange rate increases from 14.00 pesos per dollar to 28.00 pesos per dollar. If the prices of the basket remain unchanged in both the United States and Mexico, the real exchange rate between the U.S. and Mexican baskets of goods will 9 to baskets of Mexican goods per basket of U.S. goods.

Answer: The nonrefundable $20 ticket is the sunk cost.
Explanation: A sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and which cannot be recovered.
However, a prospective cost is a future cost that is yet to be incurred and which can be avoided if an action or inaction is taken.
Therefore, from the scenario in the question above, we can see that Susie has already purchased the soccer match ticket which costs $20, and she is yet to incur the costs of gas, wear and tear, and parking fee.
Hence, the $20 is the sunk cost because it has already been incurred and cannot be recovered, while the $10 for gas and wear and tear, and $5 for parking are the prospective costs that will be avoided.
