After graduating, you might decide to start a small business. As discussed in this chapter, owners of any business need to know

how to calculate the cost of their products. In fact, many small businesses fail because they don't accurately calculate their product costs, so they don't know if they are making a profit or losing money—until it's too late.Suppose that you decide to start a landscape business. You use an old pickup truck that you've fully paid for. You store the truck and other equipment in your parents' barn, and you store trees and shrubs on their land. Your parents will not charge you for the use of these facilities for the first two years, but beginning in the third year they will charge a reasonable rent. Your mother helps you by answering phone calls and providing customers with information. She doesn't charge you for this service, but she plans on doing it for only your first two years in business.In pricing your services, should you include charges for the truck, the barn, the land, and your mother's services when calculating your product cost?InstructionsWrite a response indicating your position regarding this situation.

Answer:

When the value of the service ends, it will be necessary to include the charges for the truck, the granary and the land. It is not necessary to include your mother's service charges, as she is not charging for the service.

Explanation:

Setting up your own business can be quite a big challenge and you need a lot of control and planning so you don't have to lose money. One of the biggest challenges of becoming an entrepreneur is to price the service performed. As was said in the question above, many people do not know how to place a value on the service produced, mainly because they are unable to identify the expense for service production.

In summary, the expense to produce the service must take into account all charges related to any element necessary to perform the service. Thus, we can consider that in the case shown in the question above, it will be necessary for you to include expenses with the truck (gasoline, repairs, exchange of parts, etc.), with the rent of the granary, with the rent of the land and with the gratification of any employee. Since your mother is not charging for her services, this charge should not be included, however, your mother will only be in this service for two years. If the person replacing your mother charges for the service, this should be added to the cost.

9)What is the dominant strategy for bidders in an English oral auction?9)A)Bid until the previous bid price equals the reservati
Sophie [7]

Answer: B) Keep bidding until all other bidders quit, regardless of your reservation price.

Explanation: Familiar to English auctions, the bidders are aware of the prices of items on sale and the numbers of other bidders. This price is known as the reserve or reservation price which is the limit on the price of the item on sale set by the seller (that is the lowest price the seller is willing to sell the item). The bids start at a low price and keeps coming in until there are no more bids irregardless of the reservation price set. It probably depends on how much you value the item on sale and are willing to pay for it. Not necessarily on the reservation price.

algol13

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that the cost of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is US$ 100,962</u>

Explanation:

Wall-to-Wall Records

                                        Cost          Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 48,000 $ 70,000

Purchases                     $ 210,000       $ 390,000

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000 $ 460,000

Cost to Retail Ratio

= $ 258,000 ÷ $ 460,000

= 0.5609 = 56.09%

                                                    Cost            Retail

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000   $ 460,000

− Sales                                                                 $ 280,000

Ending Inventory                                          $ 180,000

× Cost to Retail Ratio                                    0.5609

<u>Ending Inventory                           $ 100,962 </u>

How did the constitution differ from the articles of confederation? Match the correct document on the left to each of the featur
Bumek [7]

How the constitution differs from the Articles of the Confederation.

The Constitution of the United States was created on September 7, 1787, and ratified on June 21, 1788. It is the present constitution of the United States, although it has been amended many times.

The Articles of Confederation were the first introduced constitution of the United States. It was created on November 15, 1777, and ratified on March 1, 1781.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The Constitution of the United State operates the bicameral legislature, which consists of the senate and the House of Representatives. It is also known as CONGRESS. There are up to 2 senators from each state and the numbers of representatives depend on the actual population of each state. Members of Congress are elected by the people and the voting in congress is one vote per one representative. There is also an executive arm of government headed by the PRESIDENT.

The Articles of Confederation operates unicameral legislature, also known as the CONGRESS. There are 2 to 7 members that represent each state. The voting pattern in congress is one vote per state and the members of congress are appointed by the state legislators. The executive arm of government is not recognized in the articles of the confederation.

Next week, Mortimer is preparing to go to work for the Illinois department of Child Services. He was surprised when his friends
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The implication is that the Illinois Department of Child Services is a unionized workplace.

Mortimer will derive better benefits that surpass the costs of membership.  He is covered in all collective bargains, even when he resigns his union membership.  Unions negotiate for better working conditions, higher pays, and improved benefits.

When Mortimer has any grievance against the department, the union will also represent him, thereby making his life easier since unions can negotiate better with employers than individual workers.

Mortimer is even lucky to find a job at a unionized workplace because the jobs are not usually advertised as union members easily bring in their relatives and friends to occupy such vacancies.

Explanation:

Most of the disadvantages that Mortimer should complain about unions are disadvantages to the employer and not to him as an individual worker.  For the employer, the union acts as a form of monopoly that can decide whether the workers would work or not.  The unionized workers are not easy to replace with other workers.
