Answer:

An increase in the percentage of deposits that bank must keep on hand- RESERVE REQUIREMENT

2. An increase in the interest rate that a central bank charges commercial banks for loans - DISCOUNT RATE

Open Market Operations - A central bank purchasing existing bonds.

1 and 4 are not instances of monetary policy

Explanation:

Monetary policy are policies taken by the central bank of a country to shift aggregate demand.

Tools of monetary policy

1. Open market operations : government can either sell bonds to the public, this is known as open market sales. this is an example of an contractionary policy or it can buy bonds from the public. this is known as open market purchase. it is an expansionary policy

2. Reserve Requirement : Reserves are the proportion of deposits required by the central bank that banks keep

If reserve requirement is increased, it is an example of a contractionary policy. If on the other hand, it is reduced, it is an example of an expansionary policy.

3. Discount rate : this is the rate at which the central bank lends to commercial banks. An increase in discount rate is a contractionary policy while an decrease in discount rate is an expansionary policy

There are two types of monetary policy :

Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy

Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply. When money supply decreases, aggregate demand falls. Increasing interest rate and open market sales are ways of carrying out contractionary monetary policy

Goals of monetary policy include  

• financial market stability  

• economic growth

• high employment  

• price stability

Answer:

<h2>Dunne Co.</h2>

1. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the first-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:

a) Inventory, June 30  = $32,864 (26 x $1,264)

b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = $310,776 ($343,640 - $32,864)

2. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the last-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:

a) Inventory, June 30 =  $31,240

Beginning Inventory 25 units at $1,200 = $30,000

Purchase on April 8, 1 unit at $1,240               1,240

Total Ending Inventory                                $31,240

b)Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory

= $311,400 ($343,640 - $32,240)

3. Determination of the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the weighted average cost method and the periodic inventory system. Note: Round the weighted average unit cost to the nearest dollar and final answers to the nearest dollar:

a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,500 (26 x $1,250)

b) Cost of goods sold = $311,250 (249 x $1,250)  

4. Comparison of the Gross Profit and June 30 inventories using the following column headings:

                                         FIFO                  LIFO         Weighted Average

Sales                            $525,250         $525,250         $525,250

Cost of goods sold        -310,776            -311,400              -311,150

Gross profit                  $214,474           $213,850           $214,100

Inventory, June 30       $32,864             $31,240            $32,489.60

Explanation:

a) Data on Purchase and Sale Transactions with the Quarter:

Date     Transaction     Number of Units    Per Unit             Total

                                         In        Out                              Cost      Sales

   30     Sale                                30           2,000                          60,000

May 8   Purchase          60                         1,260           75,600

    10     Sale                               50           2,000                         100,000

    19    Sale                                20           2,000                          40,000

   28    Purchase          80                         1,260         100,800

June 5 Sale                               40           2,250                          90,000

       16 Sale                               25           2,250                          56,250

       21 Purchase         35                         1,264           44,240

      28 Sale                               44           2,250                          99,000

b) Goods Available   275                                         $343,640

Cost of goods sold   249                                   See calculations

Sales                                       249                                          $525,250

Ending Inventory        26          See Calculations

c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60

d) Under the periodic inventory system:

1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.

2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first

3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.  

Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value.  Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock.  The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.
