Ahat [919]

Answer:

1. B) Deflation

2. A)-10.00%

3. D) 8

4. E) 8.89 baskets.

5. (A) Rises

Explanation:

Deflation is a fall in general price levels. When deflation occurs, the value of money increases: The purchasing power of money increases.

The deflation rate = ( this year price level - last year's price level ) / last year's price level

Deflation rate =( $9 - $10) / $10 = -10%

In the previous year, $80 would purchase $80 / $10= 8 baskets

This year, $80 would purchase $80 / $9= 8.89 baskets

Inflation is a rise in the general price levels.

Megan is training for a triathlon, a timed race that combines swimming, biking, and running. Consider the following sentence: In

Elodia [21]

Answer: 1) The cost of something is what you give up to get it

Explanation:

Because there is scarcity in the world, we cannot get everything that we want. This is what gives rise to opportunity costs which explain that the cost of doing something is the benefit that one would have accrued from their next best alternative or the thing they gave up for the first choice.

The cost of going swimming for an hour for Megan is $15 because she would have kept the $4 entrance fee she paid as well as earned $11 had she instead worked instead of swam.

Answer:

Consumer behaviour

Explanation:

Consumer behaviour is comparatively a new field of study which evolved just after the Second World War . The sellers market has disappeared and buyers market has come up. This led to paradigm shift

of the manufacturer‘s attention from product to consumer and specially

focused on the consumer behaviour. The evaluation of marketing concept from mere selling concept to consumer - oriented marketing has resulted in buyer behav i our becoming an independent discipline. The growth of consumerism and cons umer legislation emphasizes the

importance that is given to the consumer. Consumer behaviour is a study of how individuals make decision to spend their available resources ( time, money and effort) or consumption related aspects (W hat they buy ? W hen they bu y ? , How t h ey buy ? e tc ).

The heterogeneity among people makes understanding consumer

behaviour a challenging task to marketers. Hence marketers felt the need to obtain an in - depth knowledge of consumers buying behaviour. Finally this knowledge acted as an imperative tool in the hands of marketers to forecast the future buying behavior of customers and devise four marketing strategies in order to create long term customer relationship.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

1. Total fixed costs to $190,000 ________ Break Even Sales Volume in Units 316,666.67

2. Variable costs to $34 per unit _________ Break Even Sales Volume in Units = 260357. 14

3. Selling price per unit to $80 ----------Break Even Sales Volume in Units =254545.45

Explanation:

SBD Phone Company

Without Changes

Break Even Sales Volume in Dollars= Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Costs/ Sales)

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (36/ 90)

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1=0.4

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.6

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =270000

1.When Total fixed costs are changed to $190,000

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$190,000/0.6= 316,666.67

The increase in fixed costs shows an unfavorable increase in break even units

2. When Variable costs are changed to to $34 per unit

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (34/ 90)

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.622

Break Even Sales Volume in Units = 260357. 14

The decrease in Variable costs shows a favorable decrease in break even units

3. When Selling price is changed to $80

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/1- (36/ 80)

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =$162,000/0.55

Break Even Sales Volume in Units =254545.45

The decrease in Selling price shows a favorable decrease in break even units

Yes it is necessary to compute new break-even points because this is how we can see the changes in units and the effects of the changes.

bonufazy [111]

Complete Question:

Matt and Meg Comer are married and file a joint tax return. They do not have any children. Matt works as a history professor at a local university and earns a salary of $64,100. Meg works part-time at the same university. She earns $33,400 a year. The couple does not itemize deductions. Other than salary, the Comers’ only other source of income is from the disposition of various capital assets (mostly stocks). (Use the tax rate schedules,Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Rates.) (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

STCG - $1,500

STCL - $0

LTCG - $13,160

LTCL - ($10,000)

Solution:

Total tax liability = $8,564 + $0 = $8,564

The Comer's taxable income of $74,600 is less than the actual $9% or $78,750 of $2,600 including capital gains.

Consequently, their $3,080 is nil percent paid. Would have the capital gains reach $2,600, the first $2,600 would also be taxed at zéro%, and the remainder would have been taxed at 15%.
