B. It allows people to buy, sell, and trade goods efficiently.

Explanation:

Medium of exchange refers to an intermediary instrument used to facilitate trade or the transfer of goods and services between parties. An item must be acceptable by the parties involved in the transaction to be used as a medium of exchange. It should represent a fair standard of value.

Money is the most widely used and accepted medium of exchange. It facilitates an easy and quick transfer of goods and services between buyers and sellers. Without money, the selling of goods and services would be conducted on barter trade. Money as a medium of exchange facilitates smooth transactions in business.

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials: 5 pounds at $8.00 per pound $40.00

The planning budget for March was based on producing and selling 25,000 units.

a)

The material cost included in the planning budget is the standard cost multiplied for the budgeted production.

Direct material requiered= 25,000*5= 100,000 pounds

Standard cost per pound= $5

Direct material budget= 100,000*5= $500,000

The raw material's flexible budget adapts to the actual production level.

Direct material flexible budget= standard cost*actual material used in production

Direct material flexible budget= 5*160,000

Direct material flexible budget= $800,000

c)

To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Direct material price variance= (5 - 7.5)*160,000

Direct material price variance= $400,000 unfavorable

Your venture has net income of $600,000 taxable income of $1,000,000 operating profit of $1,200,000 total financial capital incl

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

EVA = -$180,000

Explanation:

given data

net income = $600,000

taxable income of $1,000,000

operating profit = $1,200,000

total financial capital = $9,000,000

tax rate = 40%

WACC = 10%

solution

we get here EVA that is express as

EVA = NOPAT - Invested Capital × WACC ..................1

and here

NOPAT = EBIT × ( 1 - Tax Rate ) .........2

put here value

NOPAT = operating profit × (1 - Tax Rate)

NOPAT =$1,200,000 × (1 - 0.40)

NOPAT =$720,000

so put in equation 1 we get

EVA = NOPAT - Invested Capital × WACC

EVA = $720,000 - $9,000,000 × 10%

EVA = -$180,000

Match the following:

asambeis [7]

Explanation:

1. If butter complements margarine for instance, and there occurs a sudden increase in the price of butter leading to lower demand, this would affect the demand for margarine negatively leading to a fall in the demand for margarine.

2. If this goods are substitutes the demand for butter will increase when the price of margarine rises.

This is because it is only natural for people to switch to the next best alternative (substitute) that fills the same purpose or needs.

3. Remember Ice cream and ice cream cones complementary goods; meaning the demand for one increases the demand for the other and vice versa.

4. If the price of ice cream increases, demand would also decrease for ice cream as consumers are usually sensitive to price.

This decrease in the demand for ice cream would also affect ice cream cones since they complement each other, leading to a decrease in the demand for ice cream cones.
