Answer:

If a company increases its final goods inventory level, that will increase the country's GDP even if the goods are not sold during the current period (they will be sold in future periods). Increases in inventory level are considered part of Investment component of the GDP.

If the inventories are not sold during the year (2018) and if they continue to be unsold during part of 2019, that will negatively affect the GDP because fewer goods will be purchased to replenish these inventories and the market price of the goods will also decrease. The market price of goods is determined by the supply and demand. If the supply is much higher than the demand and inventories start to pile up, their price will decrease in order to increase the quantity demanded. If the volume of the goods in inventory is significant enough, this should lower the inflation rate.

Answer: $3,580.30 (converted to 2decimal places).

Antwone need to deposit " $3,580.30008” into the account each semi-annual period in order to take his vacation in 2 years

Explanation:

By using compound interest formula below to solve the question

A = p ( 1 + r/n)^nt

A = amount (future value)= $3,800

P = principal (present value) ?

r = annual nominal rate = 3%= 0.03

n = today number of compounding years = semiannually (2 interest payments period in a year) = 2

t = time in years =2

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.03/2)^2(2)

3,800 = p ( 1 + 0.015 )^4

3,800 = p ( 1.015 ) ^4

3,800 = 1.06136355 p

divide both sides by 1.06136355

p = 3,800 / 1.06136355

p = $3,580.30008

≈$3,580.30 ( rounded off to 2d.p)

If the cost of goods sold is more than the cost of goods manufactured, then

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

C. Finished Goods Inventory has decreased.

Explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured (COGM) increases when finished goods inventory is produced, while cost of goods sold (COGS) increases when finished goods inventory is sold. If COGS has been increasing faster than COGM has been increasing, the company has been selling more goods than it has been producing. Therefore, it must have sold goods from its surplus of finished goods inventory. Thus, finished goods inventory has decreased.
