What is the distinction between​ cross-sectional data and​ time-series data?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

B. ​Cross-sectional data provides information about economic behavior at an instant in​ time, while​ time-series data provides information about how an economic variable behaves over time.

Explanation:

There are two types of data, transverse data and time series data. Cross-sectional data is data that exists at a single point in time. For example, data from an observational survey or sales from a firm. Time series data are data that require intertemporal analysis, such as a country's inflation and GDP data, which should be analyzed for evolution. In other words, time series data are analyzed in a manner dependent on the previous period. Current month's inflation depends on the previous month's inflation analysis.

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry that would include is shown below:

Work in Progress inventory A/c Dr           $125,000

Factory overhead A/c   Dr                         $24,000

(Being labor cost is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

Work in progress = Labor expenses + whole labor expenses

                             =$88,000 + $37,000

                             = $125,000

The labor expenses are directly related to the product which means it is a direct cost

And, the whole labor expense is considered to be the overhead cost as it is not directly related to the product

And, the $24,000 is also considered as an overhead cost because it is used in both the departments so it is come under the factory overhead account
