Answer:

b. why, when, and how goods and services should goods be produced?

Explanation:

The three fundamental questions of economics are solving the basic problems faced by economic agents. What to produce? How to produce? Who to produce for?

These questions are pertinent because resources are scarce, but human needs are unlimited. Therefore, one has to choose the best combination of resources to make a production that meets human needs. The timing of production will depend on the perception of needs (demand), so that as man evolves, new demands emerge to improve people's quality of life.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

$45,440.00

Explanation:

Jack's interest on capital =5%*$90,000=$4,500.00

Stevens' interest on capital =5%*$111,000=$ 5,550.00  

Net income left to be shared in ratio 1:2 is the net income of $309,000 minus the total interest on capital of $10,050 i.e $4,500+$5,550 and salaries to Stevens

Net income left for sharing=$309,000-$10,050-$176,130=$ 122,820.00  

Jack's share of profit=1/3*$ 122,820.00   =$ 40,940.00    

Stevens' share of profits=2/3*$122,820.00  =$ 81,880.00  

Amount distributed to Jack=$4,500+$ 40,940=$45,440.00

The following units of an inventory item were available for sale during the year:Beginning inventory 10 units at $55First purcha
Leto [7]

Answer:

$1150.

Explanation:

Given: Beginning inventory 10 units at $55

          First purchase 25 units at $60

          Second purchase 30 units at $65

          Third purchase 15 units at $70.

First, lets calculate total units of inventory available.

Total inventory available for sales during the year= (10+25+30+15)= 80\ units

∴ Total inventory available for sales during the year= 80 units

As given 60 units were sold out of total 80 units.

80-60= 20\ units

∴ 20 units of inventory is still remaining.

To determine the cost of unit sold, under LIFO accounting, you start with assumption that you have sold the most recent inventory and work backward.

As 20 units is still available after selling 60 units.

∴ The value of ending inventory= (10\ units \times \$60 + 10\ units \times \$55)

The value of ending inventory= \$600+\$550= \$ 1150

∴ The value of ending inventory using LIFO is $1150.
