Answer:

Substitute Effect

Explanation:

When a product's price increases, it becomes relatively expensive compared to its alternatives. The high price will encourage consumers to choose other goods that are relatively cheaper. Consequently, the price increase reduces the demand for the product while increases the demand for its substitutes.

The substitution effect describes how consumption is affected by an increase or a decrease in a product's price.

Tracy Company, a manufacturer of air conditioners, sold 270 units to Thomas Company on November 17, 2021. The units have a list

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

See explanation section

Explanation:

Requirement 1

November 17, 2021 Merchandise Inventory Debit $81,000 (Note - 1)

Accounts payable - Tracy Company Credit $81,000

Calculation - $270 units × $400 = $108,000

$108,000 × (100 - 25)% = $81,000

To record the purchase of office equipment on account with a trade discount and a credit terms of 3/10, n/30. As the company uses perpetual inventory system, merchandise inventory is debit.

November 26, 2021 Accounts payable - Tracy Company Debit $81,000

Cash Credit $78,570

Merchandise Inventory Credit $2,430

As Thomas gave the payment within 10 days, Tracy Company provided a 3% discount according to the terms.

Calculation - $81,000 - ($81,000 × 3)% = $81,000 - 2,430 = $78,570

Requirement 2

If Thomas paid on December 15, 2021, Tracy company would not give any discount. However, Thomas paid within 30 days.

Therefore, the journal entry to record the payment is as follows:

December 15, 2021 Accounts payable - Tracy Company Debit $81,000

Cash Credit $81,000

This time he did not receive the discount as he failed to pay within 10 days to get discount.

if the marginal propensity to save is 0.12 the marginal propensity to consume(mpc) is the multiplier is

Vlad [161]

Answer:

If the marginal propensity to save is 0.12, the marginal propensity to consume(mpc) is 0.88, and the multiplier is 8.33.

Explanation:

From the question, we are given the following:

mps = Marginal propensity to save = 0.12

The marginal propensity to consume (mpc) and the multiplier can therefore be calculated as follows:

mpc = 1 - mps ........................ (1)

Substituting the values for mps into equation (1), we have:

mpc = 1 - 0.12

mpc = 0.88

Also, we have:

Multiplier = 1 / mps ..................... (2)

Substituting the values for mps into equation (2), we have:

Multiplier = 1 / 0.12

Multiplier = 8.33

Therefore, if the marginal propensity to save is 0.12, the marginal propensity to consume(mpc) is 0.88, and the multiplier is 8.33.

Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of the following claims, indicate whether Huprey should (a)

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Record a liability.
Disclose in notes.
Have no disclosure.

Explanation:

A contingent liability should only be recorded if the likelihood of it happening is known and the value can reasonably be estimated.

In the first scenario, it is likely that Huprey will lose so the likelihood is known. The value can also be reasonably estimated to be $1,070,000 so this should be recorded as a liability.

In the second scenario, the likelihood is known but the value cannot be estimated. In such a case, simply disclose this possibility in the notes of the financial statement.

For the third scenario, the possibility of the liability being incurred is remote so there is no need to either record or disclose the liability.

Revenue is income generated from the activities of a business. It is price multiplied by quantity produced. Revenue is inflow of money into an organisation.
