Why do many companies find that providing employees a comprehensive benefits package that includes insurance, retirement investm

ent and other benefits is worth the cost associated with these benefit packages?
1. Providing a strong benefits package reduces some of the stress most of us feel when it comes to paying for medical care, having enough money for retirement and other employer-sponsored benefits.
2. Few employers believe that offering employee benefits is a worthwhile or cost-effective strategy for attracting and retaining the best employees.
3. When employees use the company medical benefits package, they are forced to go to doctors and health providers selected by the company for their low-cost services.
4. When the employer offers health benefits but not accrued vacation hours, employees find that their health care options actually serve as vacation time as well.

Which of the following typically happens as prices for a good or service rises?a. suppliers leave the marketb. consumers seek mo
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

As the price of product increases the consumers will demand less because they now have to pay more than earlier.

The supply however is directly related to price level and will increase with the increase in price. The producers will produce more in order to enjoy higher revenue and profit.

This would encourage the other potential firms to enter the market, to earn higher profits.So more suppliers will enter the market.

However, this would lead to increase in supply of output. The excess supply will cause the price to fall eliminating higher profits.

Calculate the amount of depreciation to report during the year ended December 31, 2013, for equipment that was purchased at a co
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1) Straightline   $ 2000

2) Double-Declining-Balance  $ 4000

3) Units of Production  $ 2000

Explanation:

Cost of equipment $43,000

Residual value of equipment  $3,000

Useful life of equipment 5 years

Formula:

1) Straight Line Method Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Method Depreciation = $43,000 -$3,000/5=$ 8000

The amount of depreciation using Straight Line Method Depreciation for the year ended December 31, 2013, is

($ 8000/12)*3= $ 2000

The straight Line depreciation expense for 3 months is $ 2000

2) Straight Line Rate= 100%

Useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

Year     Book Value      Dep          Dep               Accu.       Book

                                      Rate         Expense      Dep.          Value

1           40,000             40              16000          16000         24000

Depreciation Expense for the whole year would be $ 16000.

Depreciation expense using double declining method for 3 months would be = ($ 16000/12 )*3= $ 4000

3) Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production

Depreciation per unit=  $43,000 -$3,000/20,000=40,000/20,000=2

Depreciation Expense = Depreciation per unit * No of Units Produced

Depreciation Expense =  2*1000= $ 2000

Depreciation Expense using  Units of Production method would be $ 2000 for 3 months. i.e on 31st Oct 2013

If the demand curve is linear and downward sloping, which of the following statements is not correct? Select one: a. Starting fr
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

If a demand curve is linear and downward sloping, different points on the line can show different values of slope. The value of slope will be equal to the ratio of change in price to change in quantity demanded. The value of slope will be the same throughout the line.

The price elasticity is the ratio of change in quantity to change in price. The price elasticity can be different for different points on the demand curve.

The points on the lower parts are more inelastic while the points on the upper portion are more elastic. The midpoint represents unit price elasticity.

Since the upper portion is more price elastic, an increase in price will cause a more than proportionate decrease in the quantity demanded. This will cause the total revenue to decrease.
