Answer:
The correct answers are:
1) "B": common pool resources are overused.
2) "C": overfishing in public waters.
Explanation:
1) The tragedy of the commons is a resource-based economic problem that takes place when given resources are overexploited without a clear renewable plan or government restrictions that avoid the extinction of those resources. Those resources are usually scarce.
2) <em>Overfishing in public waters</em> is a clear example of the tragedy of the commons. Certain types of fish are scarce. The situation worsens when there are no clear limits imposed on fishermen who tend to overexploit fishing for economic purposes. A real-life example of this is the collapse of the North Atlantic Cod fisheries on Canada's eastern coast.
The correct answer is that there was $3,080 worth of office supplies purchased during the period.
In order to answer this question you know that the company started with $630 worth of office supplies and ended the year with $460 worth, or $170 less than they started with. The company used $170 of supplies from inventory, so they needed to purchase another $3,080 in order arrive at the $3,250 that we know was the total expense during the reporting period.
Answer:
The company should credited on the Cash account and the Cash Discount Receipt for the settlement of the inventory with 10 days.
Explanation:
The detailed entry will be:
19th Sep
Dr Account Payable $40,000
Cr Cash $39,200
Cr Cash Discount Receipt $800
( to record payable settlement and the receipt of cash discount)
Working note: As the company paying with 10 days, the supplier will allow a 2% discount on it net inventory purchase ( 44,000 - 4,000 = $40,000)
Thus, the discount will be 40,000 x 2% = $800 and Cash repayment will be 40,000 x (1-2%) = $39,200.
Answer:
a. Inventory Turnover:
= Cost of goods sold / Average inventory for the year
= 642,400 / 210,000
= 3.06
b. Number of days' sales in inventory
= Ending inventory / (COGS / 365)
= 156,409 / (642,400 / 365)
= 88.9 days
c. Accounts receivable turnover
= Net sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 1,022,000 / 43,000
= 23.77 times
d. Number of days sales in accounts receivable
= Accounts Receivable at year end / (Net sales / 365)
= 22,400 / (1,022,000 / 365)
= 8 days
