Baltimore, MD. The line started forming at 4 a.m. By 8 a.m. there were over 3,000 people in the line snaking around Amazon's ful

fillment center. Despite 85-degree heat and equally high humidity, these people were willing to stand in line for hours, just for a chance to land a job at Amazon's local fulfillment center.

castortr0y [4]

Answer & Explanation :

Bank Reconciliation Statement is prepared to reconcile (match) the differences between bank balance as per cash book & bank balance as per pass book, at end of an accounting period.  

The differences may arise because of following reasons :

  • Errors committed by firm or bank
  • Cheques paid but not collected, upto the last date (added in cash book, but not in bank balance)
  • Cheques issued but not yet presented for payment, upto last date (subtracted in cash book, but not in bank balance)
  • Direct expenses & direct incomes settled by bank (done in bank balance, but not in cash book)

BRS involves starting with balance as per any book - cash book or passbook. Then, the adjustments for mismatch are done, to arrive at correct balance as per the other book.

If the price of natural gas rises , when is the price elasticity of demand likely to be the highest?
AlexFokin [52]

If the price of natural gas rises, the price elasticity of demand is likely to be the highest one year after the price increase.

<h3>What is the price elasticity of demand?</h3>

A measure of a product's consumption shift in response to a price change is called price elasticity of demand. The quantity shift in percentage terms divided by the price change in percentage terms is used to determine the price elasticity of demand.

The price elasticity of demand would probably be at its peak if the price of natural gas increased. Elasticity will be strongest in the long run since consumers would start exploring alternatives as a result of ongoing price increases.

pychu [463]

Answer:

Part 1

Absorption Costing Net Income = $760,700

Part 2

Income under absorption costing will be: Lower than income using variable costing

Explanation:

The difference in net income under absorption costing and variable costing is because of fixed costs that are in closing inventory.

If we are given net income under one method we can find the net income under the other method by performing a reconciliation as follows :

Reconciliation of Variable Costing Income to Absorption Costing Income

Variable Costing Net Income                                    $767, 200

Add fixed cost in closing stock (4, 700 × $2.50)          $11,750

Less fixed costs in opening stock (7, 300 × $2.50)   ($18,250)

Absorption Costing Net Income                                $760,700

Year 1 Deposit $90

Year 2 Deposit $80

First find the present worth of the gradient deposits.  

P = 100 + 90(P/A, 12%, 6) - 10(P/G, 12%, 6) = $380.69  

A = 380.69 (0.12)

A= $45.68
