Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

In the base period a college student buys 20 gallons of gasoline at $2 per gallon, 2 CDs for $13 each, and 4 movie tickets for $7 each.

In the next month, the price of gasoline is $2.25 per gallon, CDs cost $12.50 each, and the price of a movie ticket is $7.50.

The price index

= \frac{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ current\ year}{price\ of\ basket\ in\ the\ base\ year}\ \times\ 100

= \frac{100}{94}\ \times\ 100

= 106.38 or 106.4

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Operations manager should ensure quality control is done at all stages in the production cycle to ensure highest standard. If quality check is carried out only at the final stage defects that should have been spotted earlier will cause product to be discarded.

So checking the product at the last stage is counter-productive.

Gwen inherited 100 shares of supershoes stock when her mother died on october 21, 2015; the fair market value of the stock was $
Dafna1 [17]

Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.

In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:

Gain / (Loss) = (Selling Price per share - Stepped up value per share) * Number of shares

Gain = (50 - 20) *100

Gain = $3,000

Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it.  So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.

O ciclo operacional é a base para se calcular o ciclo financeiro que corresponde ao intervalo de tempo entre os eventos financei
frozen [14]

Answer:

d) 15 dias

Explanation:

O Ciclo Financeiro, ou Ciclo de Caixa, é o tempo entre a saída de pagamentos (no caso fornecedores) e a entrada de recebimentos (vendas por exemplo).

Digamos que estamos em janeiro, começando o ano. A empresa em questão compra sua matéria prima no dia 1 com prazo de pagamento de 15 (pagar dia 15 de janeiro).

A empresa leva 10 dias para fabricar o produto final, o vendendo no dia 10 de janeiro. Ela vende, porém, recebendo somente 20 dias depois, dia 30 de janeiro.

Ela tem que pagar o fornecedor dia 15 de janeiro e recebe pela venda 30 de janeiro.  

Assim, a empresa tem 15 dias entre ter que pagar pela matéria prima e receber pela venda do produto proveniente da mesma, constituindo assim o ciclo financeiro de 15 dias.
