Answer: B. The investor has a short-term capital loss of $20,000.

Explanation:

A short-term loss occurs when a deficit is realized when there's a sale of an asset which has been held by the person for a period of one year or less.

In this case, since the security was worthless, it's a loss and was also help for six months which is less than one year, then it's a short term capital loss.

Therefore, the correct option is B

atroni [7]

Answer:

cost of goods sold is $197,800

ending inventory is $55,000

Explanation:

LIFO System is an Inventory Management Method that sells the Recent Inventory Acquired First followed by older Inventory.

<u><em>Cost of Goods Sold</em></u>

March 14 = (1,380×$62) = $85,560

August 31 = (1,130×$80) =  $90,400

                 =  (70×$62)    =   $ 4,340

                 = (350×$50)   =  $ 17,500

Total                                =  $197,800

<em><u>Closing Inventory</u></em>

(1,100×$50) = $55,000

A decrease in the price level a. increases the quantity of goods and services supplied in the short run. b. decreases the quanti
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

c. increases the quantity of goods and services demanded.

Explanation:

According to the law of demand, there is an indirect relationship between demand and the prices for good or service. Should the price of a good or service increase, its demand will decrease. Demand comprises of the willingness and ability to buy.

A decrease in the price level will make the product affordable by more buyers. The market will afford to buy more of that product. The law of demand works together with the law of supply. The intersection of demand and supply curves determines the price of a product.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

The answers is: B) 5 apples; 2 apples

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is how much of one product you are giving up when you decide to take a different product.

In this case, for every pair of shoes an American worker decides to make, he is not growing 5 apples (100 apples / 20 pairs of shoes).

And for every pair of shoes a Canadian worker decides to make, he is not growing 2 apples (20 apples / 10 pairs of shoes).
