Getty Company expects sales for the first three months of next year to be $200,000, $235,000, and $298,000, respectively. Getty

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Getty’s cash receipts for the months of February: $225,900

Getty’s cash receipts for the months of March: $281,620

Explanation:

Cash sales:

In January = 35% x $200,000 = $70,000

In February = 35% x $235,000 = $82,250

In March = 35% x $298,000 = $104,300

Credit Sales:

In January = 65% x $200,000 = $130,000

In February = 65% x $235,000 = $152,750

In March = 65% x $298,000 = $193,700

Getty’s cash receipts for the months of February = Cash sales of February + 40% x Credit sales of January + 60% x Credit sales of February = $82,250 + 40% x $130,000 + 60% x $152,750 = $225,900

Getty’s cash receipts for the months of March = Cash sales of March + 40% x Credit sales of February + 60% x Credit sales of March = $104,300 + 40% x $152,750 + 60% x $193,700 = $281,620

A firm incurs $400 to manufacture a television. In the market, customers are willing to pay a maximum of $600 for the television

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

D. Economic value created.

Explanation:

The reason is that the economic value created is the difference between the price the customer is willing to pay and the cost that the product actually costs to the firm.

Following is the formula for calculation of economic value created:

Economic Value Created = Value customer willing to pay - Cost of product

Here the television costs $400 to the firm and the customer is willing to pay $600 for the television. So by putting the values we have:

Economic Value Created = $600 - $400 = $200

So the correct option is option D.

In each of the following scenarios, explain and categorize the cost of inflation.a) Because inflation has risen, the J.Crew clot

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.

b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.

c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.

d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.

e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.

There are two ratios which are used to measure airline performance. one measures efficiency while the other measures equipment u

den301095 [7]

Operating ratio-measures the portion of operating revenue that goes to operating expenses, only revenue and expenses generated from passenger and freight transportation are considered

(operating expenses/operating revenue)*100

load factor-measures the percentage of a plane's capacity that is utilized,

(number of passengers/total number of seats)*100

All pilots should be interested in weight and balance control. The two changeable factors that can alter an aircraft's total weight and CG location are loading and fuel management, both of which are under the control of the pilot.

The owner or operator of the aircraft should guarantee that the pilots have access to current information and that the proper entries are made in the records when repairs or modifications are completed. The CG is altered as a result of equipment removal or addition.
