Answer:

A 2.9% pay increase in 2014 for U.S. workers will cause the AS (aggregate supply) curve to shift inward in the short-run, signaling a decline in the quantity supplied.

Explanation:

The supply quantity declines because a pay increase increases suppliers' cost of production and reduces their ability to produce more goods and services.  On the contrary, a fall in workers' pay causes the aggregate supply curve to shift outward, thereby increasing the quantity supplied.  In the long-run, the pay increase will increase aggregate demand, thereby pushing prices to increase, while, at the same, suppliers try to increase the quantity supplied to meet with increased prices and demand.

During the year, Trombley Incorporated has the following inventory transactions.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a. Ending inventory = $162, Cost of Sales = $593, Gross Profit = $478

b. Ending inventory = $227, Cost of Sales = $528, Gross Profit = $543

c. Ending inventory = $492.30, Cost of Sales = $557.94 , Gross Profit = $513.06

d. FIFO

Explanation:

FIFO

Ending inventory = 18 units × $9   = $162

                                Total               = $162

Cost of Sales = 11 units × $13 = $143

                         16 units × $12= $192

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                           3 units × $9 = $27

                         Total              = $593

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $593

                   = $1,071 - $593

                   = $478

LIFO

Ending inventory = 11 units × $13    = $143

                                 7 units × $12   =  $84

                                 Total               = $227

Cost of Sales = 9 units × $12 = $108

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                         21 units × $9 = $189

                         Total              = $528

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $528

                   = $1,071 - $528

                   = $543

Weighted-average cost

First determine the average cost.

Average cost = Total Cost / Total units

                      = $ 755 / 69

                      = $10.94

Ending inventory = Units Remaining × Average Price

                             = 45 units × $10.94

                             = $492.30

Cost of Sales = Units Sold × Average Cost

                      = 51 units × $10.94

                      = $557.94

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $557.94

                   = $1,071.00 - $557.94

                   = $513.06

3. As the crisis in Venezuela deepened in late 2002 and early 2003, on January of 2003 the VEF was trading VEF1400/$. By Februar
aleksley [76]

Answer: 39.29%

Explanation:

For us to calculate the percentage change, we have to deduct the trading for VEF in January from the trading for VEF in February and then divide by VEF trading in January. This will be:

= (1950 - 1400)/1950

= 550/1400

= 0.3929

= 39.29%

The percentage change in January is 39.29%.

mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Estimated overhead cost = $1,540,000

Estimated direct labors (in dollars) = $3,360,000

Estimated direct labor hours = 240,000

Actual overhead cost = $1,240,000

Predetermined overhead rate:

= Estimated overhead cost ÷ Estimated direct labor hours

= $1,540,000 ÷ 240,000

= $6.42 per direct labor hour

Kay [80]

Answer:

B) Single agency.

Explanation:

In real estate, a single agency relationship means that the broker can only represent one of the parties involved in the transaction, either the buyer or the seller, but he/she cannot represent both parties. Most broker-client relationships are single agencies, since that way the broker should pursuit his/her client's best interest.

In a dual agency relationship, the broker represents both he seller and the buyer.
