Answer:

$135.52

Explanation:

Calculation for How much would it cost to buy a similar amount of goods and services in 2016

Using this formula

Cost to buy similar amount of goods and services in 2016=Amount in 2001x (Price level 2016/Price level 2001)

Let plug in the formula

Cost to buy similar amount of goods and services in 2016=$100*(240.0/177.1)

Cost to buy similar amount of goods and services in 2016=$100*1.3552

Cost to buy similar amount of goods and services in 2016=$135.52

Therefore How much would it cost to buy a similar amount of goods and services in 2016 is $135.52

baherus [9]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Here, we want to select which of the given options in the question is true/correct.

From the question we can observe that the two bonds have required return less than coupon rate. Hence we can conclude that, both are premium bonds. The 7-years bond however. will have closer price to par value.

Bond prices will gradually decrease as we have a decrease in years to maturity. This means that the closer the year to maturity, the lesser the value of the bond price

Swifty Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $315,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $21
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Net income to be earned =   $58,500

Explanation:

The net income to be earned can determined as follows:

<em>Net income = (sales value - Variable costs) - Fixed costs</em>

With an increase in selling price by 10%, the total sales value would now be

Total sales value = 110% × 315,000 =$346,500

Net income therefore would be

                    = (346,500 - 218,000) - 70,000

                  =   $58,500

Not that the fixed cost will not change because it is independent of volume and also the variable cost has been  stated to remain the same.

It costs Sheridan Company $28 of variable costs and $17 of allocated fixed costs to produce an industrial trash can that sells f
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Variable costs = $28

Allocated fixed costs = $17

Selling price = $84

Due to acceptance of M offer, S would be got excess contribution margin per unit. Because acceptance selling price ($34) is greater than the variable cost per unit ($28).

We don't have any information about the fixed cost due to acceptance. Therefore, we assumed that fixed cost is not increased.

Increased contribution margin per unit:

= Selling price - Variable cost

= $34 - $28

= $6

For 3,000 units, Increased contribution margin = 3,000 × $6

                                                                               = $18,000

Therefore, net income is increased by $18,000 when the offer is accepted.
