Answer:

The answer is D. both inventory and net income a higher value.

Explanation:

FIFO is First in First Out. This means what was bought first goes out first.

LIFO is Last in First out. This means what was bought last was sold first.

For FIFO, in time of rising price, the ending inventory will contain the ones bought last when the price is rising, so the ending inventory will be higher and for LIFO, the last inventory with high price will b sold out first, remaining the inventory that was bought at cheaper rate.

In FIFO, because the ending inventory is high, cost of sales will be low and this means high gross profit and operating profit or net income

Answer:

The share of each additional dollar of income earned that is devoted to saving rather than consumption.

Explanation:

The marginal propensity to save is defined as the fraction of increased income that is reserved for saving and not consumption, and it is the slope of the graph of income against savings.

For example if an individual earns an extra dollar and he has propensity to save of 0.5 that means out of the one dollar he will save 50 cents and spend the remaining 50 cents.

Market equilibrium Consider the demand function of tofu given by Qd = 150 – 10p + 5pb and the supply function of tofu given by Q

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a) Qs = 50 + 20p - 7ps

= 50 + 20p - 7×(2)

= 50 + 20p - 14

= 36 + 20p

At equilibrium, $Q_{d}$ = $Q_{s}$

So, 150 - 10p + 5 $p_{b}$ = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 30p

= 150 - 36 + 5 $p_{b}$

= 114 + 5 $p_{b}$

So, p = (114/30) + (5/30) $p_{b}$

= 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

Thus, $p_{e}$ = 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

Q = 36 + 20p

= 36 + 20(3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$ )

= 36 + 76 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

= 112 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

Thus, $Q_{e}$ = 112 + 3.4 $p_{b}$

b) $p_{e}$ = 3.8 + 0.17 $p_{b}$

= 3.8 + 0.17×(5)

= 3.8 + .85

= 4.65

$Q_{e}$ = 112 + 3.4 $_{b}$

= 112 + 3.4(5)

= 112 + 17

= 129

c) Qd = 150 - 10p + 5pb = 150 - 10(2.5) + 5(5) = 150 - 25 + 25 = 150

Qs = 36 + 20p = 36 + 20(2.5) = 36 + 50 = 86

Thus, there is excess demand as $Q_{d}$ > $Q_{s}$

d) New $Q_{d}$ = 180 - 10p + 5 $p_{b}$

= 180 - 10p + 5×(5)

= 180 - 10p + 25

= 205 - 10p

Now, new $Q_{d}$ = $Q_{s}$ gives,

205 - 10p = 36 + 20p

So, 20p + 10p = 205 - 36

So, 30p = 169

So, p = 169÷30

So, $p_{e}$ = 5.63

Q = 205 - 10p = 205 - 10×(5.63) = 205 - 56.3 = 148.7

So, $Q_{e}$ = 148.7

Indicate whether the following statements about the conceptual framework are true or false. (a) The fundamental qualitative char

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

True or False Statements about the conceptual framework:

(a) False: The fundamental qualitative characteristics that make accounting information useful are relevance and faithful representation, which suggest materiality and completeness respectively.

(b) False: Relevant information must also be material in a financial statement user's decision, in addition to having predictive and confirmatory values.

(c) False: It is information that is relevant that is characterized as having predictive or confirmatory value, and not information that shows faithful representation.

(d) False: Comparability also refers to comparisons of a firm over time (which is appropriately described as consistency). This is in addition to the similar reporting of information by different companies.

(e) False: Enhancing characteristics do not relate only to faithful representation but also to relevance.

(f) True.

Explanation:

Faithful representation implies completeness. Relevance means that the disclosure will attract important consideration and is material to the matter. Therefore, users of financial reports base their decisions on relevant information and not irrelevant details.
