Answer:

Option 1 - the opportunity cost of leisure decreases as wages decrease.

Explanation:

The labour supply curve of any occupation will always be upward sloping because when wages, (the opportunity cost of leisure) rises, the more hours of leisure a staff will relinquish to do more work.

The opposite of this is true as seen in option 1 of the question.

Opportunity costs will reduce with a consequent reduction in average wages. When fewer people want to retain their employment due to decrease in wage rates, it would lead to a fall in demand for leisure.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Pitch

Explanation:

Enrico has trouble differentiating between a tuba's sound and a piccolo's sound. Although a piccolo generates sound waves that are much briefer, quicker than a tuba, he has trouble tracking the variations in the pitch of such sounds.

For music, a note's pitch indicates the note's high or low. It is measured for physics in a Hertz unit. A note that vibrates at 261 Hz is induced by pulsing sound waves at 261 times per second.

Hatshy [7]

Answer: Postpone

Explanation:

In marketing, one of the ways to handle an objection is to postpone it until the end of the presentation. In the course of the presentation, the client may think that the project has a certain cost and it will not work or another reason, in this case, postponing it is one of how a person can present their idea until the end, to convince the potential client.

In this case, the seller handled himself well by telling him that the program is cheap and that he will explain the price in a moment, allowing him to express everything related to his program, giving him a chance for prospects they can know the program in its entirety.

Berkshire Inc. uses a periodic inventory system. At the end of 2015, it missed counting some inventory items, resulting in an in

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Assets understated by $510,000, liabilities understated by $153,000 and shareholders' equity understated by $357,000.

Explanation:

An understatement of closing inventory will have the following effects,

First of all the inventory as an asset is understated by $510,000

Second, this inventory was subject to deduction from the Cost of goods sold as, Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.

Since this amount was not subtracted from the CGS, the gross profit and ultimately the Net profits were understated by $510,000.

This will be added in the net profits.

With an increase in net profits, the tax payable amount also increases. This is calculated as 510,000 * 0.30 = $153,000

So total change in profits is = 510,000 - 153,000 = $357,000

While $153,000 is still payable and is recorded as a tax payable liability.

Thus,

Assets understated by $510,000

Liabilities Understated by $153,000 (tax payable)

Share holders equity understated by $357,000 (part of retained profits)

Hope that helps.

9. A bank loaned York Construction Company $35,000 on a 1-year, 6% note, but deducted the interest in advance. The journal entry

Rudiy27

Answer: The correct answer is c. increase in Discount on Notes Payable for $2,100.

Explanation: 6% of $35,000 for a year is $2,100. From the facts in the question, the Bank deducted the interest in advance, this means the net cash York Construction Company got was $35,000 - 2,100 = $32,900 but note that this does not change the principal amount obligation the Company is obliged to pay the bank, which remains $35,000. What the Company needs to do is to recognize the $35,000 as Notes Payable (Debit Cash and Credit Notes Payable) and recognize a Discount on Notes Payable of $2100 (Debit Discount on Notes Payable and Credit to Cash). Subsequently, based on the 1-year tenor, the Company would unwind the discount to finance charge / interest expense as $2,100 / 12 = $175 monthly (Debit Interest expense; Credit Discount on Notes Payable).
