Answer:

social welfare spending (education, hospitals, housing, schools, etc.).

Explanation:

This quote deals with the problem of the ever increasing cost of national defense versus the welfare of the citizens. The US spends more money on national defense than any other country in the world, around 37% of the total military budget of the world. It also represents 15% of the total federal budget and almost half of all discretionary spending.

That is a lot of money to be distributed among a small number of private firms. Usually Republicans tend to favor a large army, but Democrats never lower their budget either. The largest military contractors are Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Raytheon. They are all located in blue states, actually Maryland currently has a Republican governor but both their senators are democrats as well as most of the representatives. Boeing has its headquarters in Washington State and Raytheon in Massachusetts. These aren't blue states, they are indigo states.

But as the military budget increases and the power of military contractors also increases, who will dare to stop them. Military spending is much higher than welfare spending, even if you throw in Medicaid into the equation ($1.6 trillion vs $1 trillion).

The question really is, are guns more important than the well being of our citizens? I guess it depends who you ask.

The results of the survey will most likely suffer from wording bias.

Wording bias:

Wording bias, also called question-wording bias or “leading on the reader” (Gerver & Sgroi, 2017) happens in a survey when the wording of a question systematically influences the responses (Hinders, 2019).

Is wording bias a type of response bias?

Wording bias can come into effect here as well

This type of bias influences the entire gamut of responses from individual or multiple participants.

For instance, if the researcher knows the participant personally, even greeting them in a friendly manner can have a subconscious effect on the responses.

Sidana [21]

Answer: C) A successful firm of expert consultants seeks to increase its volume of business by reducing its fees, but its volume of business drops.

Explanation:

Mr. Fringe says that the more expensive a consultant is, the more they can be blamed. This means that the kor expensive a consultant is, the more they will be sought after in order for the company to blame them.

When a successful firm of consultant reduced their prices and became cheaper, less people wanted to hire them. This therefore supports the logic of Mr. Fringe as a lower cost led to the consultants being less sought after.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Wolfe Company

The amount of:

                                      LIFO         FIFO    Weighted Average

Ending inventory      $50,500    $65,100        $58,005

Cost of goods sold  $113,200   $98,600       $105,698

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Date Transaction             Number of units   Unit Cost   Cost Value

1/1     Beginning inventory             2,000        $22.00    $44,000

4/12  Purchase No. 1                      2,300        $26.00      59,800

7/11   Purchase No. 2                        800        $28.00      22,400

10/5 Purchase No. 3                      1,250        $30.00      37,500

Total inventory available              6,350                       $163,700

Wolfe sold                                      4,100

Ending Inventory                          2,250

LIFO

Ending Inventory = $50,500 (250 * $26 + 2,000 * $22)

Cost of goods sold:

4/12  Purchase No. 1                      2,050        $26.00      53,300

7/11   Purchase No. 2                        800        $28.00      22,400

10/5 Purchase No. 3                      1,250        $30.00      37,500

Total cost of goods sold =            4,100                        $113,200

FIFO:

Ending Inventory = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold

= $65,100 ($163,700 - $98,600)

Cost of goods sold:

1/1     Beginning inventory             2,000        $22.00    $44,000

4/12  Purchase No. 1                      2,100        $26.00        54,600

Total cost of goods sold = $98,600

Weighted average:

Weighted average cost = $25.78 ($163,700/6,350)

Ending inventory = $58,005 (2,250 * $25.78)

Cost of goods sold = $105,698 (4,100 * $25.78)
