Answer:

Inflation is an increase in the general price level in an economy. It is probably caused by the relative increase in the amount of money in relation to the available economic production. If the social money supply increases and the country's production is not matched, the average price level will rise due to the increased demand for goods. Due to the price increases, the value of money, the purchasing power of money, decreases. You can buy less for the same amount, thus lowering demand.

You are considering two equally risky annuities, each of which pays $5,000 per year for 10 years. Investment ORD is an ordinary

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

A rational investor would be willing to pay more for DUE than for ORD, so their market prices should differ.

Explanation:

If both annuities pay the same amount ($5,000 per year), then the present value of the annuity due will always be higher than the present value of the ordinary annuity. Therefore, an investor will always be willing to pay more (at equal risk) for the annuity due than the ordinary annuity.

E.g. let say that both annuities carry a 10% interest rate.

The present value of the annuity due is:

PV = $5,000 + [$5,000 x 5.7590 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 9 periods)] = $33,795

The present value of the ordinary annuity is:

PV = $5,000 x 6.1446 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 10 periods) = $30,723

The logic behind this is that $1 today is worth more than $1 tomorrow, and the annuity due's first payment is today, while the ordinary annuity's first payment is in 1 year.

Can a person’s general attitude toward risk be applied to his/her approach to investing

seropon [69]

Yes it can be applied.
If an investor is pessimistic that a certain risk that they fear will occur, they avoid investing in the fields prone to the risk.
For example, if an investor is offered an opportunity in the oil and flammable fuels and the persons dreads fire, that person declines the offer no matter how viable it is.

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 13,600 units of direct materials during the period

Answer:

Cost of units completed = $176,528

Workings are attached:

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of production

An equivalent unit of production is an expression of the amount of work done by a manufacturer on units of output that are partially completed at the end of an accounting period. Basically the fully completed units and the partially completed units are expressed in terms of fully completed units.

Equivalent units are used in the production cost reports for the producing departments of manufacturers using a process costing system. Cost accounting textbooks are likely to present the cost calculations per equivalent unit of production under two cost flow assumptions: weighted-average and FIFO.

Conversion costs

Conversion costs is a term used in cost accounting that represents the combination of direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead costs. In other words, conversion costs are a manufacturer's product or production costs other than the cost of a product's direct materials.

Expressed another way, conversion costs are the manufacturing or production costs necessary to convert raw materials into products.

The term conversion costs often appears in the calculation of the cost of an equivalent unit in a process costing system.

For the sake of this question, we will be determining the equivalent units of production:

Units completed and transferred subject to material and conversion costs
Units in the closing inventory subject to material and conversion costs
We will then calculate the cost per units with respect to material and conversion costs for the equivalent units.
These cost per units will enable us to determine the cost of items completed.
