Answer:

The correct answer is C. A pure monopolist.

Explanation:

The pure monopoly arises when there is a total absence of competition, due to independent entry barriers to the company's competitive capacity.

A single company offers a product that has homogeneous characteristics, which has no substitutes and for that reason has a large number of buyers. There are also economic, technological or legal barriers that prevent the entry of potential competitors. That is, there are barriers to entry.

Jackson Company had a net increase in cash from operating activities of $10,000 and a net decrease in cash from financing activi
zmey [24]

Answer:

A. an outflow or decrease of $1,000.

Explanation:

Ending balance of cash = Opening balance of cash + Net cash flow of the period

Ending balance of cash = Opening balance of cash + ( Cash flow from operating activities + cash flow from investing activities + cash flow from financing activities )

$11,000 = $4,000 + $10,000 + cash flow from investing activities - $2,000

$11,000 = $12,000 + cash flow from investing activities

Cash flow from investing activities = $11,000 - $12,000

Cash flow from investing activities = -$1,000

In 3-4 sentences describe how economic liberty helps water the "money tree" in a free enterprise.
il63 [147K]

Answer:

It helps giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business

Explanation:

Vic, using the money tree metaphor is awesome in order to explain. Think about your free enterprise (let’s say… a store that sells trees!).

What you need in order to start and run a business? A place to sell those trees, employees, products, infrastructure, etc., and capital to fund all that. All that business plans and models that you will develop in order to have a successful business will require that you make economic decisions, actions. And, in order to make those decisions, you need economic liberty, which is exactly the ability one has to make economic decisions without political, economic or social blocks.

Imagine that in your region you can only sell trees with red leaves, or your trees are taxed much more than trees coming from overseas, or that employment law requires that no employee gets near a plant (who knows, it could be to prevent allergic season!). That would make super hard to develop your business right?

That’s how economic liberty could help you grow your money tree; into giving you the ability to choose what you think is best for your business.

Fashion, Inc. had a Retained Earnings balance of $16,000 at December 31, 2021. The company had an average income of $6,500 over
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Total amount of dividends paid over the last three years is $20500

Explanation:

The net income of the company is either retained in the company or paid out as dividends. To calculate the value of the ending retained earnings, we use the following formula,

Ending balance = Beginning balance + Net Income - Dividends

We first need to calculate the total net income for the 3 year period. The total net income for the 3 year period is, 3 * 6500 = $19500

Plugging in the available values for the ending and beginning balance of retained earnings and net income, we can calculate the value of total dividends paid for the three year period.

15000 = 16000 + 19500 - Dividends

Dividends = 35500 - 15000

Dividends = $20500

Big Time Widgets has the following inventory data: December 1 Beginning inventory of 15 units at $6.00 per unit December 7 Purch
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

Explanation:

As per LIFO method, we have Last In First Out which means the item which is last added in inventory will be sold first.

In the given instance we have things as following:

1 December       opening      15 units         $6.00 per unit           $90.00

7 December      purchased   50 units       $6.60 per unit           $330.00

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

Balance after sales

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

20 December    Purchased  30 units      $7.50 per unit              $225

29 December    Sales          15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Balance

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

15 units @ $7.50 per unit = $112.50

As stated above, under LIFO we have Last In First Out

Cost of goods sold

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

29 December    Sales           15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Total cost of goods sold in December = $297 + $112.5 = $409.5

In case periodic inventory system had been used then,

no proper record is maintained, for cost at which the goods are acquired, and therefore average method is followed, since no proper cost record is maintained.

Final Answer

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.
