Answer:
C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.
Explanation:
During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.
Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.
Answer: $688.17
Explanation:
He has to pay $60 every month on the first day or a lump sum.
The lump sum will be the present value of monthly payments.
This is a stable Cashflow and so is an Annuity and because it is done on the first day of the month it is an Annuity due.
Calculating present value of annuity due is;
= Annuity + Annuity (( 1 - ( 1 + r) ^ -(n - 1)) / r)
= 60 + 60 (( 1 - ( 1 + 0.833%)-¹¹) / 0.833%) )
=60 + 60* 10.4695
= $688.17
Note: interest rate must be divided into 12 to make it monthly rate.
=10%/12
= 0.833%
Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
A rise in the general price level is called inflation and it affects the nominal value of the company's output. E.g. you sell pants and last year they sold at $10 and now since inflation rate is 10%, they sell at $11. But inflation only affects nominal values, it doesn't affect real values which are calculated using a base price of a certain year X, times the quantity sold. Following the example, your real output would not be $11 per pair of pants, instead it would still remain at $10 since the inflation is discounted.
Answer:
0.97
Explanation:
The computation of the acid-test ratio is given below:
= Quick assets ÷ current liabilities
= (cash + short term investment + account receivable + supplies) ÷ (accounts payable + wages payable)
= ($58,110 + $14,000 + $58,000 + $5,600) ÷ ($108,000 + $31,900)
= $135,710 ÷ $139,900
= 0.97
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 135,000 units
Explanation:
<u>The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.</u>
<u></u>
Conversion costs:
Units completed and transferred out= 133,000 units
Ending WIP= 10,000*0.2= 2,000 units
Total equivalent units= 135,000 units
