maria [59]

Answer:

$2,857

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold (COGS) refers to the relevant cost incurred to acquire or produce the products being sold a company during a particular period.

The formula for calculating the COGS is as follows:

COGS = Beginning inventories + Purchases - Ending inventories

From the question, we have the following for 2012:

Beginning stock = $590

Purchases = $2,770

Ending inventory = 503

Therefore, we have:

COGS for 2012 = $590 + $2,770 - $503 = $2,857

Therefore, Jacob should record $2,857 as Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) on its 2012 income statement.

Full employment means A. there is​ "normal" frictional unemployment and a small amount of cyclical unemployment. B. everyone in
timurjin [86]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. there is a level of unemployment consistent with​ "normal" frictions in the labor market.

Explanation:

Full employment is a situation where all the individuals in a country, who are able to work and who want to do so, are effectively working either as employees of a company or organization or creating their own.

When full employment occurs, labor demand equals supply so that the labor market is in perfect balance. This means that in a country with full employment, all workers who belong to the active population and look for work, find it. However, as we will see below, when there is full employment there are certain unemployed people, it is what is known as frictional unemployment.
