Answer:
D) Original cost.
Explanation:
When the company uses the lower of cost or market method, it should assign value to its inventory by calculating the middle figure between replacement cost or net realizable value, and net realizable value - normal profit.
In this case, the market value must be either the replacement cost or the net realizable value, but both values are the highest. Since the original cost is below the market value, but above the net realizable value - normal profit, the inventory must be valued at the original cost.
Answer:
Amount of cash at the end of one year is $16,200
Explanation:
Amount invested = $15,000
Rate of return = 8%
Amount at the end of one year = $15,000 + (0.08×$15,000) = $15,000 + $1,200 = $16,200
Answer: Unilateral contract.
Explanation:
A unilateral contract is a contract in which promise to fulfill a requirement is made only in one direction, when only the offeror makes a promise and the offeree is on the receiving end of the promise. In insurance the insurer is the only one who makes a promise while the insured is the one receiving the offer(and can break from the agreement at any time).The insurer is the offeror while the insured is the offeree.
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at
a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they
would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is
450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass
the cost benefit analysis.
If the fireworks' cost is to be split
equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let
us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would
We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.
2) Town of River Heights:
We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community
is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than
their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be
bought.
However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.
Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.
3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.
Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.
The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
Answer:
Inelastic
Explanation:
Price Elasticity of demand is the a measure which is used to show the responsiveness of the quantity to its price.
Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price
% Change in quantity = ( 45,000 - 35,000 ) / 45,000 = 22.22%
% Change in price = ( 20 - 30 ) / 20 = -50%
Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price
Price Elasticity of demand = 22.22% / -50% = -0.4444
As the answer is less than 1 so, demand is Inelastic.
