Answer:

The people that are already renting an apartment are going to benefit from the price ceiling ($750) since it is lower than the equilibrium price of $1,000. They will be OK as long as they keep renting their apartments.

But since price ceilings lower the quantity supplied of apartments, if someone is currently looking for an apartment or is considering moving to another apartment, then they will be worse off.

Less owners will be willing to rent their apartments at the price set ($750) because they are losing money. So there will be less available apartments which obviously will make it more difficult to find a new apartment to rent hurting both tenants and owners.

False

Buying coke by Glenn is an habit because he does not have to think before doing it. He does not even try to consider alternatives which could be as a result of his total satisfaction from coke. Habitual decisions need little to no conscious effort (reasoning) to make.

1. If you were going to buy a fuel-efficient car, which three would you consider? Why? Answer:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Ford Fusion, Toyota Corolla and BMW i3

Explanation:

Fuel economy and fuel efficiency is one of the most important thing to consider when buying a car.

In United States, nearly 8 thousand gallons of petroleum are consumed by cars everyday. This cost a lot to the people's purse and most importantly it costs the atmosphere.

When we burn or use more fuel, the atmosphere gets more polluted by the exhaust of the fuel burning, and the world oil supply is depleting faster. This results in the rise of gasoline price. Thus, it is very necessary to plan before buying cars.

I would consider the cars Ford Fusion, Toyota Corolla and the BMW i3 while planning to buy a car because they are the most fuel efficient cars available in the U.S. They are also equipped with latest technology like cruise control which reduces the fuel consumption of the car.

The 2020 Ford fusion is a 6 speed automatic front wheel drive which gives the best driving experience and less energy wastage.

During the taking of its physical inventory on August 31, 2019, Kate Interiors Company incorrectly counted its inventory as $366
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Balance sheet

Inventory - Understatement by $11,600

Owners equity - Understatement by $11,600

Income statement

Cost of goods sold - Overstatement by $11,600

Net income - Understatement by $11,600

Explanation:

The movement in an inventory account which is the difference between the opening and ending balances is a function of the purchases and the sales during the period.

This is captured in the equation below

Opening balance + purchases - cost of goods sold = ending balance

Hence an understatement of the ending balance would result in an overstatement of the cost of goods sold thus an understatement of the net income (and owner's equity).

The understatement in closing inventory balance is

= $378,500 - $366,900

= $11,600.
