Answer:
New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.
The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.
Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.
Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.
Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

Answer:
$318,000
Explanation:
The computation of the total assets is shown below:
= Current assets + property, plant, and equipment - difference in amount
= $85,000 + $235,000 - $2,000
= $318,000
The difference of amount is
= Account receivable - collected amount
= $50,000 - $48,000
= $2,000
Since the current asset is already given so we considered the difference in amount to find out the total asset.
Answer:
Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard quantity 7.5 liters per unit Standard price $ 2.00 per liter
Actual production was 3,400 units.
The company used 26,200 liters of direct material.
<u>To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7.5*3,400 - 26,200)*2
Direct material quantity variance= (25,500 - 26,200)*2
Direct material quantity variance= $1,400 unfavorable
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the outstanding checks is shown below:
For the November end
= Checks - presented in the bank
= $10,230 - $8,240
= $1,990
For the December end
= Checks - presented in the bank + presented in th bank - checks
= $10,230 - $8,240 + $11,815 - $10,655
= $3,150
We simply applied the above formula
