Answer:

Social Security benefits are increased each year in proportion to the increase in the CPI, even though most economists believe that the CPI overstates actual inflation.

True

Explanation:

We realize that the elderly who receive Social Security do not consume the same market basket of goods and services as other people in the economy.  Assuming that the elderly do consume the same market basket as others, Social Security would provide the elderly with an improved standard of living each year since the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which represents a weighted average of a basket of goods and services, overstates inflation and Social Security payments are tied to the CPI.

During the year, Hamlet Inc. paid $22,000 to have bond certificates printed and engraved, paid $170,000 in legal fees, paid $9,0
xenn [34]

Answer:

$481,000

Explanation:

Bond issue costs are either direct or indirect costs:

  • direct costs include underwriting fees, listing fees, professional fees, compliance costs and other costs related to the IPO or APO (secondary issues), e.g printing costs
  • indirect costs include underpricing costs (IPO pricing is too low) and loss of proprietary information

Total bond issue costs = $22,000 + $170,000 + $9,000 + $280,000 = $481,000

Firm A employs a high degree of operating leverage; Firm B takes a more conservative approach. Which of the following comparativ
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Statement B is correct.

Explanation:

High Operating Leverage represents higher fixed cost in comparison to variable cost, and thus that means the company will get its break even earlier or we can say with low units, but after break even profits will be higher.

As in the given case Firm A has higher Operating Leverage than Firm B, thus Firm A has lower Break even point but eventually its profit after reaching break even will grow higher.

Thus, Statement B is correct
