Answer: The answer is 120.

Explanation: We know that consumer balance occurs when:

Marginal utility of A / Price of A = Marginal utility of B / Price of B

And we know that the budget restriction is: 120 = 0.5Qa + 4Qb

So the consumer balance is:

1 / 0.5Qa = 1 / 4Qb

0.5Qa = 4Qb

Qa = 4 / 0.5 Qb

Qa = 8Qb

We replace:

120 = 0.5Qa + 4Qb = 4Qb + 4Qb = 8Qb

Qb = 120/8 = 15

Qa = 8Qb = 15 * 8 = 120

Granger Company had January 1 inventory of $150,000 when it adopted dollar-value LIFO. During the year, purchases were $900,000
Lisa [10]

Answer:

$624, 750

Explanation:

Purchases = 900,000

Sales = 1500000

Price index = 110%

Inventory= 189750

1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]

=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750

= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)

= 1,500,000 - 875250

=$624,750

Gross profit. = $624750

Assume that you wish to purchase a 20-year bond that has a maturity value of $1,000 and makes semiannual interest payments of $4
Savatey [412]

Answer:

$828.36

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

The value = $1,000

Life = 20 years, since interest is semi annual, effective period = 20 \times \frac{12}{6} = 40 periods.

Semi annual interest = $40

Annual interest = 10%, effective interest rate = 5%

Future Value Interest rate = $40 \times (\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^1} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^2} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^3} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^4} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^5} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^6} +\frac{1}{(1+0.05)^7} +.................. + \frac{1}{(1+0.05)^4^0} )

= $40 \times 17.159 = $686.36

Future Value of Principal = $1,000 \times \frac{1}{(1 + 0.05)^4^0}

= $1,000 \times 0.142 = $142

Thus, current price of bond = $686.36 + $142 = $828.36

At the beginning of the year, a company's balance sheet reported the following balances: Total Assets = $175,000; Total Liabilit
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

$88,000

Explanation:

The computation of the ending balance of the retained earning balance is shown below:

As we know that

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

where,

net income is

= Revenues - expenses

= $50,500 - $33,000

= $17,500

And, the other items values would remain the same

So, the ending balance is

= $92,500 + $17,500 - $22,000

= $88,000
