Answer:

$83,850

Explanation:

Lacy's Linen Mart

Cost Retail

Beginning inventory$88,500 $139,000

Add: net purchases$331,000 $499,000

Goods available for sale$419,500 $638,000

Cost-to-retail percentage

= $419,500÷ $638,000 = 65%

Less: Net sales($509,000)

Estimated ending inventory at retail

($638,000 -$509,000) $ 129,000

Estimated ending inventory at cost(65% x $129,000)$83,850

Therefore the estimated inventory at June 30, 2021, would be $83,850

Answer:

The answer is basic research.

Explanation:

The research and development department conducted managed to answer the research question which was conceptualized in the beginning of research, as implied in the question. However, no further research was conducted for the purpose of designing a product that can be sold to the Gen Z market segment, based on the findings from the previous ones. Thus, we can conclude that the intention of the research was just to discover previously unknown information about Gen Z’s characteristics, which meant the conducted research was only a basic research.

Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding. In t
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

<em>1.  In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Explanation:

<em><u>Question has been attached here</u></em>

Unemployment is the term used to define those who are willing and are actively seeking work but cannot find any. A minimum wage is a price control, in the form of a price floor imposed by government legislation in order to protect laborers from low wages. Paying anything below the minimum wage is against the law.

<em>1. In this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.00 is binding : </em><em>FALSE</em>

A minimum wage is binding only if it is set above the equilibrium price. In this scenario, the equilibrium price is at $12. Hence, $9 is not binding since a shortage of labor would gradually raise the price to the equilibrium.

<em>2. In the absence of price controls, a shortage puts upward pressure on wages until they rise to the equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

When there is a shortage in the market, it means that the quantity supplied is higher than the quantity demanded. With any particular commodity such as bread or rice, a shortage creates a rise in price. Just as that, a shortage of workers creates an upward pressure on the price (wage). Since there are no price ceilings, market will reach equilibrium.

<em>3. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium : </em><em>TRUE</em>

As shown in the diagram, the market equilibrium is $12. If the minimum wage was $12.50, there would be a surplus of labor (quantity supplied is higher than quantity demanded). Naturally, this may cause a downward pressure on wages until it reaches $12. However, when a minimum wage is imposed at $12.50, it cannot fall below that level. Thus, the market will not reach the equilibrium.

<em>4. Binding minimum wages cause frictional unemployment : </em><em>FALSE</em>

Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when workers are temporarily unemployed while switching between jobs. It is normal and occurs even in the healthiest of economies. A binding minimum wage is more likely to cause structural unemployment. This occurs when there is a mismatch between the skills of the labor force and the skills expected to be possessed by employers to do a particular job. Hence, even if jobs are available, the laborers are not suited to do them and thus are unemployed.

The total factory overhead for Big Light Company is budgeted for the year at $807,500. Big Light manufactures two different prod
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

<u>Night Lights $ per unit  2.13</u>

<u>Desk Lamps $ per unit 8.50</u>

Explanation:

Determine total number of budgeted direct labour hours for the year

total number of budgeted direct labor hours for the year is calculated

= night lamp labor hours + desk lamp labor hours

= ( 60000 * 1/2 ) + ( 80000 * 2 )

= 30000 + 160000

= 190000

calculated the single plant wide factory overhead rate

factory overhead rate = total factory overhead / total number of budgeted unit

= 807500 / 190000

= 4.25 per labour hour

calculate factory overhead cost per each unit

night lamp = 4.25 * 1/2

= 2.13 per unit

desk lamp = 4.25 * 2

= 8.50 per unit

A reserve price is a minimum price set by the auctioneer. If no bidder is willing to pay the reserve price, the item is unsold a
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Reserve price = $55

Expected revenue with a reserve price = $55

Expected revenue without a reserve price = $55

Explanation:

The auctioneer should set the reserve price siguiente:

Reserve price = ($30x0.5) + ($80x0.5) = $15 + $40 = $55

In the case of the expected revenue with the reserve price, only the bidder who has set a $80 value will pay the reservation fee, then the expected revenue will be the reserve fee of $55.

In the case of the expected revenue without the reserve price, both of the bidders will enter the auction for the item. Since the values are equally probable the expected profit without the reservation fee is equally $55.  

Hope this helps!

The following information is for the standard and actual costs for the Happy Corporation:
kap26 [50]

Answer:

a. 24,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

Quantity Variance = Standard Price ( Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity Allowed)

             = $12 per pound  (8 lbs.*16,500 lbs-8 lbs.*16,000)

= $ 12 (132,000 lbs-130,000 lbs) = $ 12 (2000)= 24,000 unfavorable

It is unfavorable because the actual quantity used is more than the standard quantity allowed.

Quantity variance is obtained by multiplying the standard price with the difference in the actual quantity used and the standard quantity allowed.
