Answer:

The correct answer is:

demands reflect a decision about which wants to satisfy and a plan to buy the good, while wants are unlimited and involve no specific plan to acquire the good. (d)

Explanation:

Let me first try to define what demand and want are:

want: want is a desire for a product or service. It is said that wants are unlimited, however, the resources to actualize such wants are in a limited supply.

Demand: Demand is the quantity of good or service that a person is willing and able to pay for because of the availability of resources to do so, at a given price and time.

For a clearer understanding, demand can be seen as a subset of want that a consumer takes a further step to acquire, not just desire. There is a specific plan to acquire such wants.

TEA [102]

Answer:

d. net income for the year will be overstated.

Explanation:

The prepaid rent account is used to record the amount paid in advance for rent. Once the amount is paid, the entries required are

Debit Prepaid rent

Credit Cash account

On subsequent use of the rent, the required entries are

Debit Rent expense

Credit Prepaid rent

As such where at the end of the fiscal year, the usual adjusting entry to update Prepaid Rent for the portion of the benefit that was used up / expired was accidentally omitted, net income for the year will be overstated as the rent expense that would have been posted to reduce it would have been omitted.

The capabilities used to create the sustainability/green initiatives at Walmart and Target are ______ but less likely to be ____

TEA [102]

Answer:

Letter C is correct. <u>Socially complex; rare.</u>

Explanation:

Organizations are increasingly incorporating ecological sustainability initiatives in their processes and activities, this is mainly due to the phenomenon of social complexity, which is the study of human behavior in several broad and complex circumstances that impact individual and group existence, such as example natural disasters, political movements, marriage practices, emigration patterns and others.

Man is not merely a passive agent, but a searcher for fundamental goals for himself and for society for improvement and survival.

Therefore, it is correct to say that organizations' sustainability initiatives are increasingly present in the current world, and that is why they are not uncommon, because sustainability is already seen as a phenomenon of social complexity, where companies that do not act according to sustainable parameters do not they are well regarded by society, which wants to consume products and services from companies in line with the highest social and environmental standards, which act as an active agent for improving the quality of social life.

Suppose seafood price and quantity data for the years 2000 and 2009 follow. Use 2000 as the base period. Seafood 2000 Qty. (lb)

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

a) Price Relative for Halibut is 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster is 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna is 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.

Explanation:

a) The Price Relative for a good refers to it's current price divided by it's base price times 100. It therefore measures a change in price across different periods.

Writing the formula as stated is,

Price Relative = Current Price / Base Price * 100

Price Relative for Halibut = 2.33/2.01 * 100

= 115.9 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Lobster = 3.09/3.62 * 100

= 85.4 (1 d.p)

Price Relative for Tuna = 1.97/1.87 * 100

= 105.35

= 105.4 (1 d.p)

b) The Weighted Aggregate Price Index enables us to see how prices in a particular basket has changed over a period of time. It is calculated as follows,

Weighted Price Index = (Sum of Weighted Current Price ) / ( Sum of weighted Base Price) * 100

Sum of Weighted Current Price = (75,190 * 2.33) + (83,080 * 3.09) + ( 50,779 * 1.97)

= 538,124.53

Sum of Weighted Base Price = (75,190 * 2.01) + (83,080 * 3.62) + ( 50,779 * 1.87)

= 546,838.23

Weighted Price Index = (538,124.53 / 546,838.23) *100

= 98.4

The Weighted Aggregate Price Index for the seafood catch is 98.4.
