Answer:
c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used
Explanation:
To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.
<u>Option A</u>
Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.
Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)
Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)
Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.
<u />
<u>Option B</u>
If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.
<u />
<u>Option C</u>
The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.
The ending inventory under LIFO is $18
The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5
Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.

Answer: $121
Explanation:
The question simply wants us to find the present value of receiving $100 investment two years from now at a 10 percent annual discount rate.
This can be easily solved as follows:
For the first year, the $100 will be worth:
= $100 + ($100 × 10%)
= $100 + ($100 × 0.1)
= $100 + $10
= $110
The worth at the end of the second year will then be:
= $110 + ($110 × 10%)
= $110 + $11
= $121
Answer:
0.5
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of the increase in disposable income spent on consumption.
