Answer:
If Jenny doesn’t earn any interest on her savings and wants to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, how much will she consume every year?
Jenny's total income during her life = income as tax analyst ($60,000 x 10) + income as PhD student ($12,000 x 5) + income as Art Director (35 x $95,000) = $3,985,000
she generated income during 50 years and expects to live 20 more, so in order to perfectly smooth consumption across her life, she must divide her total life income by 70 years = $3,985,000 / 70 years = $56,928.57 per year
What might prevent her from perfectly smoothing consumption?
First of all, besides inflation, you also earn interest on your savings. That is why 401k and other retirement accounts work so well (the magic of compound interest). Even if inflation and interests didn't exist, you cannot know exactly what you are going to earn in the future and for how many years. In this case, she earned $60,000 for 10 years, but then earned only $12,000 during 5 years. If she really wanted to smooth her consumption, she would have needed to get a loan because her savings during the first 10 years wouldn't be enough.
Answer:
3) physical-asset specificity
Explanation:
In a business to business relationship, physical asset specificity refers to an asset, or product or service designed to fit a particular or specialized customer's need.
In this case, True Tomato needs a very specific type of bottle that probably no other ketchup manufacturer may use or want to use. So their bottle supplier specifically manufactures the tomato shaped bottle to meet True Tomato's specific requirements.
If we used the retail method to estimate the ending inventory first we get the given of the problem that can be used in solving.
Given
Sales - 200,000
Goods available for sale - 261,000 (cost) & 450,000 (retail)
First, we need to get the cost of retail ratio. the formula is
Cost to Retail ratio= Cost/ Retail
261,000
CRR= ------------- = 0.58
450,000
Next is to get the ending inventory by following this steps
Cost Retail
Cost of Goods Available for Sale $261,000 $450,000
- Sales $200,000
------------------
Ending Inventory $250,000
x Cost to Retail Ratio .58
------------------
Ending Inventory $145,000
So, the estimated ending inventory for the month of July is $145,000.
