Answer:

Explanation:

Painter's wage is 120,000

There are 38 painters: 120,000*38 = 4,560,000

Ironworker's wage is 150,000

There are 17 ironworkers: 150,000*17 = 2,550,000

4,560,000+2,550,000 = 7,110,000

So total cost on maintenance of bridge if we discount at 8%=

= 7,110,000/0.08 = 88,875,000

Probability of recession, normal and boom states of economy is 0.25, 0.50, and 0.25 respectively. Find the expected return for Jackson Corporation. Round to the nearset hundredth percent. Answer in the percent format. Do not include % sign in your answer (i.e. If your answer is 4.33%, type 4.33 without a % sign at the end.)

For Jackson Corporation:

Expected return during recession = 12%

Expected return during boom = 40%

For Economy:

Probability of recession = 0.25

Probability of normal = 0.50

Probability of boom = 0.25

Find the expected return for Jackson Corporation.

To find expected return, use the expression below:

Expected return = (Probability of Recession * Returns at Recession) + (Probability of Normal * Returns at Normal) + (Probability of Boom * Returns at Boom)

Using the expression above, expected return for Jackson corporation will be calculated as:

Expected return = (25×12%)+(0.50×20%)+(0.25×40%)

When the economy is in a recession, expansionary fiscal policy can be used to stimulate and encourage economic growth. Which of
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid

These 2 statements are correct explained below

Explanation:

A. The government lowers tax rates and undertakes a replacement of old bridges and roads, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also the replacement of bridges and roads is improvement in infrastructure and this also increases supply as transportation is easier and cheaper for businesses.

B. The government lowers tax rates and issues a partial refund of taxes that have already been paid, this statement is correct because when the government lowers tax rates it means that people have higher disposable income on their hands therefore they can spend more which increases demand, and people also invest more which increases supply, also refund of taxes will increase the disposable money that people have so they can invest and consume both which will increase both supply and demand.

C. The government raises tax rates and reduces unemployment insurance payment

This is contraction fiscal policy and will do the opposite of expansionary fiscal policy, that is why this statement is incorrect.

D. The Federal Reserve increases the money supply and lowers the interest rate while the government simultaneously reduces future taxes. This statement is wrong because lowering the interest rate is an expansionary monetary policy and not an expansionary fiscal policy.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

FIFO: ending inventory: $9,528  COGS: $ 14,452

LIFO: ending inventory: $ 8,422 COGS: $ 15,558 (periodic)

LIFO:  ending inventory $ 9,035 COGS ·$ 14,945 (perpetual)

<em />

Explanation:

June   1     Balance 304 units @ $13   3, 952

June  11 Purchased 804 units @ $15  12,060

June 20 Purchased 498 units @ $16<u>  7, 968   </u>

Tota units 1,606 Cost available:         23,980

June 10 Sold 205 units @ $30

June 15 Sold 504 units @ $32

June 27 Sold 295 units @ $34

Total units: 1,004 units

<u></u>

Ending Inventory units: 1,606 - 1,004 = 602

<u>FIFO:</u>

first units are sold while last are ending inventory.

As we always pick from chronological order is the same under perpetual or periodic method.

<u><em>Ending Inventory:</em></u>     602 units

June 20 Purchased 498 units @ $16   7, 968   (602 - 498 = 104)

June  11 Purchased   104 units @ $15 <u>  1, 560    </u>

                      Total:                               9,528

<u><em>COGS:</em></u> Difference between cost available and ending inventory:

23,980 - 9,528 = 14,452

<u>LIFO:</u>

first units are part of ending inventory. As the units aren't picked in chronological order the values cahnges under perpetual and periodic method.

<u>periodic ending inventory:</u>

June   1     Balance 304 units @ $13   3, 952 (602 - 304 = 298)

June  11 Purchased 298 units @ $15<u>   4,470   </u>

                               Total                      8,422

COGS: 23,980 - 8,422 = 15,558

<u>perpetual method:</u>

Inventory after 1st sale: 304 - 205 = 99 units at 13

Inventory after 2nd sale.

99 untis at 13

804-504 = 300 units at 15

Inventory after 3rd sale.

99 untis at 13                           1,287

300 units at 15                        4,500

498 - 295 = 203 units at 16 <u>   3,248   </u>

<em>ending inventory:                  9,035</em>

<em>COGS: 23,980 - 9,035 = 14,945</em>
