Answer:

The answer is: She will have immediate purchasing power if she had a pay raise to match the inflation.  

Explanation:

Inflation can be explained as a general increase in the prices of goods or services over a certain period of time (in the whole country not only on one store). So the purchasing power of the currency will decrease inversely.

Assuming that the inflation rate of the whole country was 10% over the last six months, in order for Martha to be able to buy right now the same amount of goods and services she used to buy before, she would need a pay raise of 10% to match the inflation rate.

If only the candles´ supply was affected by inflation, to establish a pay raise that would balance her purchasing power you would need to calculate what percentage of Martha´s income the buying of exotic candles represent  .

juin [17]

Answer:

I would go ahead and avail this opportunity. Although it is a wide spread phenomenon that one should only acquire a degree in a field which is at a boom and is possibly going to be successful in the future. But times keep changing. Fields and phenomenon which did not have a chance in the past have now become most successful with unfulfilled potential.

On the other hand, acquiring college education is a luxury. 4 years without paying for it is a chance that nobody should miss. You can come up with creative ideas to make that degree work. Besides, people do not actually get the jobs according to their degrees. So there is a possibility that I would land a job.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

12.88%

Explanation:

Angela's disposable income $2,368

monthly expenses including recreational expenses ($2,127)

net cash flow $241

after expenses are reduced by $64, her net cash flow will increase to $305

Angela's monthly savings rate = (net cash flow / disposable income) x 100 = $305 / $2,368 = 12.88%

A person's savings rate is how much money they save (do not spend) compared to their total disposable income.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The budgeted variable overhead for May is $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June is $7,260

The budgeted fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Explanation:

First we have to determine how many tricycles does Becker Bikes expects to manufacture during May and June:

May:

beginning inventory May           180

expected sales May                   520

ending inventory May                 145

Becker is planning to manufacture 485 tricycles (= 520 + 145 -180)

June:

beginning inventory May           145

expected sales May                   650

ending inventory May                 155

Becker is planning to manufacture 660 tricycles (= 650 + 155 -145)

The budgeted variable overhead for May = 485 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $5,335

The budgeted variable overhead for June = 660 tricycles x $11 per tricycle = $7,260

The fixed overhead for both May and June is $11,500 per month

Being cash payment of dividend

Explanation:

a) 2/10, n/30 means that the buyer is to pay within 30 days but is entitled to 2% discount if the purchase is paid for in 10 days. Since Pina records at net amounts after cash discount

To record this purchase = 63,300 * 0.02 = 1,266

                                        = 63,300 - 1266 = $62,034

b) Since payment was made on 26th, it means the 10 day discount was not utilized hence Pina pays full price for the goods
