Answer:

C. Market.

Explanation:

An economy is a function of how money, means of production and resources (raw materials) are carefully used to facilitate the demands and supply of goods and services to meet the unending needs or requirements of the consumers.

Hence, a region's or country's economy is largely dependent on how resources are being allocated and utilized, how many goods and services are to be produced, what should be produced, for whom they are to be produced for and how much money are to be spent by the consumers to acquire these goods and services.

Basically, there are four (4) main types of economy and these are;

I. Mixed economy.

II. Command economy.

III. Traditional economy.

IV. Free market economy.

A free-enterprise system also referred to as capitalism or free market can be defined as a type of economy in which prices, products and services are being determined by the market rather than the government. Thus, a free-enterprise system is devoid (free) of government regulations, interference or control because the market (enterprises) are the ones who are saddled with the responsibility of determining the market forces.

Simply stated, a free-enterprise system is a type of economy that is completely driven by demand and supply of goods and services.

The four (4) main elements or characteristics of a free enterprise system includes the following;

a. Profit: businesses are all out to generate revenue and profit through the sales of finished goods.

b. Economic freedom: means of production of goods and services are controlled by the people rather than the government. Thus, the producers are free to make their economic choices or decisions such as deciding on how much is to be charged on a product.

c. Private ownership of properties: the various factors of production are owned and allocated by the people. Thus, citizens have rights to the ownership and use of private property.

d. Competition: there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, as well as free entry and exit in the market. Thus, consumers are free to make their economic choices or decisions such as deciding on which product to buy, which goods interest them, where to shop for goods, etc.

In conclusion, a market is characterized by the following economy;

I. Economic freedom

II. Competition between businesses

III. Decisions motivated by profit

Use the information below to calculate the number of orders per year when using the EOQ: Annual demand for an item is 43,000 uni
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The closest answer is 49.

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual demand, D = 43,000 units

Ordering cost, O = $200

Per unit cost of the item = $50

Annual holding cost, H =  annual holding rate × Per unit cost of the item

                                      = 35% × $50

                                      = $17.5

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 43,000\times 200}{17.5} }

              = 991.39

              = 992 units

Therefore,

Number of orders per year = Annual demand ÷ EOQ

                                             = 43,000 ÷ 992

                                             = 43.34

Hence, the closest answer is 49 and this is not given in the question.

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

3. 5,110,000 and 5,170,000

Explanation:

Number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000

= 5,110,000

Number of shares to be used in computing dilute earnings per share

= 4800000*12/12 + 200000*9/12 + 4800004/12 + (6000000/1000)*40*3/12

= 4800000 + 150000 + 160000 + 60000

= 5,170,000

Therefore, The number of shares to be used in computing basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share on December 31, 2018 is 5,110,000 and 5,170,000.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

At the end of the financial year, manufacturing companies have to assign costs to the goods which they produced in that period. At year end, the production does not stop, therefore, there could be items still in production at reporting date. In order to give as accurate information as possible, the company has to cost the production items with an estimate of the total items produced. Equivalent units of production refer to the summation of items that have been started and completed during the reporting period and the items still undergoing production at their estimated stage of completion. This provides an approximation of the total units of production, had the incomplete items been counted as complete at their estimated stage of completion.

Example: if 3,000 units were started and completed during the period and 2,000 units were in closing inventory at 60% completion, then the total equivalent units of production would be equal to 4,200 units (3,000 + (2,000*60)).

Using the First in First Out Method:

Equivalent units of Production =  Total units completed during the period + Units in Ending WIP

Note1: the question indicates the equivalent units of production for the <u>materials</u> in the Machining Department.

Materials are introduced at the beginning of the production process, making them 100% complete at the end of the period. Equivalent units of production for materials is therefore 12,600(8,600+4000)

Note2: 8,600 from the above calculation consists of:

Opening balance of 6,000 units at 100% completion - Materials

Started and completed during the period 2,600 units -Materials

4,000 units in the closing balance are 100% complete in terms of Materials
