The answer is C. If the future price of a good is expected to rise, that means consumers would want to buy more NOW before the price increases. This causes the immediate demand to rise.
Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.

Answer:
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008= 3.223 Times
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= 3.91 times
Explanation:
Inventory Turnover Ratio= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventories
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008= $632,000/ $201,000
+ 191,100/2
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008= $632,000/196,050
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2008= 3.223 times
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= $ 731,000/191,100
+ 182,600/2
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= $ 731,000/ 186,850
Inventory Turnover Ratio for 2009= 3.91 times
Answer:
She needs $150,000 to fund this perpetuity.
Explanation:
In this question we need to find the present value of this perpetuity. Because this is a growing perpetuity we will need to use the formula of present value of a growing perpetuity.
PV of growing perpetuity = Payment/ R-G
The payment is the current payment the perpetuity will pay which is 6,000, R is the interest rate which is 10% and G is the growth rate of the perpetuity which is 6%. Now we will input these values in the formula in order to find the present value of the perpetuity.
6,000/0.1-0.06
=6,000/0.04
=150,000
