Answer:

  • The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
  • Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.

Explanation:

First part of this question reads:

In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.

The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.

When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.

Bad credit, defined by FICO as a score of 300 to 629, is a common reason that lenders reject small-business loan applications. Borrowers with poor credit scores are considered at higher risk of defaulting on a loan. Still, even with bad credit, you have financing options, including online loans.

laila [671]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Materials Costs = Units × Unit Material Cost

                          = 6,000 × $8

                          = $48,000

Conversion costs = Units × Percentage Complete × Unit Conversion Cost

                             = 6,000 × 75% × $12

                             = $54,000

Ending Work-In Process Inventory:

= Materials Costs  + Conversion Costs

= $48,000 + $54,000

=  $102,000
