Answer:
The answer is: $29,000
Explanation:
To calculate Job A3B's costs during September we must add direct materials plus 3 times direct labor:
September costs = direct materials + (direct labor x 3) = $1,500 + $9,000
September costs = $10,500
We do the same for October:
October costs: direct materials + (direct labor x 3) = $2,000 + $16,500
October costs = $18,500
The total cost for Job A3B is: $10,500 + $18,500 = $29,000
Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.
b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.
c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.
d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.
e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "B": A gift inter vivos.
Explanation:
A gift inter-vivos refers to the transfer of a property from one party to another while the donor is alive. This transfer must be celebrated through a written agreement providing the beneficiary absolute ownership of the property. In such a case, the donor cannot request the property back and gives up any right over it.
The beneficiary must accept the gift for the transfer to be complete and if the property has value, the beneficiary will accept it as well.
