What is the main purpose of monetary policies?

Andrej [43]

.Answer:

A. customer classification

Explanation:

Classification of consumers is the process of grouping customers according to shared traits. Customers in the same group will share some common characteristics that a business can use to serve them better. In customer classification, the firm seeks to identify the common traits that make customers have similar buying patterns.

The manager in the clothing brand has identified traits he can use to classify the target customers into four groups. He has applied customer classification. If he subdivides each group by specific attributes such as age, gender, or other similarities, he would be doing customer segmentation

Veronika [31]

Answer:

(E). local and national norms

Explanation:

Employee Involvement and Participation (EIP) programs are put in place by organizations to encourage inclusiveness and foster collaboration among employees in the organization.

Although such programs are valuable to the organization, the "local and national norms" or cultures, within which the organization operates, must be taken into consideration by the organization, when structuring its involvement program practices.

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, th

RSB [31]

Answer:

(1) Straight-line.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $7,600

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Speedy Delivery Company purchases a delivery van for $32,000. Speedy estimates that at the end of its four-year service life, the van will be worth $6,000. During the four-year period, the company expects to drive the van 130,000 miles. Actual miles driven each year were 35,000 miles in year 1 and 38,000 miles in year 2.

Required:

Calculate annual depreciation for the first two years of the van using each of the following methods.

(1) Straight-line.

(2) Double-declining-balance.

(3) Activity-based.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

(1) Straight-line.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Annual depreciation rate = 1 / Number of useful years = 1 / 4 = 0.25, or 25%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

Year 2 depreciation expense = Depreciable amount * Annual depreciation rate = $26,000 * 25% = $6,500

(2) Double-declining-balance.

Note: The salvage value is taken care of in the computation of the depreciation expense for the last useful year under the double-declining-balance method.

Therefore, we have:

Cost of the delivery van = $32,000

Annual depreciation rate = Straight line annual depreciation rate * 2 = 25% * 2 = 50%

Year 1 depreciation expense = Cost of the delivery van * Annual depreciation rate = $32,000 * 50% = $16,000

Book value at the end of year 1 = Cost of the delivery van - Year 1 depreciation expense = $36,000 - $16,000 = $16,000

Year 2 depreciation expense = Book value at the end of year 1 * Annual depreciation rate = $16,000 * 50% = $8,000

(3) Activity-based.

Depreciable amount = Cost of the delivery van – Salvage value = $32,000 - $6,000 = $26,000

Depreciation rate = Actual miles driven each year / Expected driven miles for four years ……….. (1)

Depreciation expense for each year = Depreciable amount * Depreciation rate …………… (2)

Using equations (2), we have:

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (35,000 / 130,000) = $7,000

Year 1 depreciation expense = $26,000 * (38,000 / 130,000) = $7,600

Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

When the expected inflation rate increases, the real cost of borrowing ________ and bond supply ________, everything else held c

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The answer is: C) decreases ; increases

Explanation:

The real cost of borrowing is calculated by adjusting the nominal cost of borrowing by the inflation rate. This means that if the inflation rate increases, then the adjusted real cost of borrowing will decrease.

The inflation rate increases when country´s money supply growth rate outpaces its economic growth. So when the inflation rate increases (lowering the real cost of borrowing), borrowers are more likely to issue bonds, increasing the bond supply.
