C. the demand curve, as consumers try to economize because of the shortage.
D. the demand curve, resulting in a price ceiling in the market.
Answer:
B. the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
Explanation:
In this scenario, a severe freeze has damaged the Florida orange crop. Thus, the impact on the market for orange juice will be a leftward shift of the supply curve, resulting in a higher equilibrium price.
An equilibrium price can be defined as the price at which the quantity of goods demanded is equal to the quantity of goods supplied.
Additionally, the equilibrium price is generally said to be stable because at this price, the quantity of goods or services demanded is equal to the quantity of goods or services supplied to the consumers.
There is very simple logic between demand and supply. When demand is high, price rises and currency appreciates in its value. On the other hand, price should decline if import rate is mare compared with export rates. As prices of U.S goods increases which ultimately goes to international market where producers have to pay domestic currencies. Americans will demands comparatively less expensive goods. So it will result in supplying more dollars to foreign exchange market.
Finally, increasing demand of pounds. Finally, U.S dollars appreciates and pound depreciates. Trade value is amount by which total import value deviates from export value. Due to changes in interest rates results in trade imbalance in U.S. There is not greater effect on Scotland as it is key player in transporting of energy products to rest of U.K.
Answer:
1. "Would you consider these mixers to be inventory or should they be classified as supplies or equipment?" Why?
The mixers will be part of merchandise inventory since Mei-ling is purchasing them and will later resell them at a higher price and hopefully make a profit. Products classified as supplies or equipment are used by the company in their day to day activities and are not meant for resale.
2. "I’ve learned a little about keeping track of inventory using both the perpetual and the periodic systems of accounting for inventory. Which system do you think is better? Which one would you recommend for the type of inventory that I want to sell?"
The perpetual inventory system is much better than the periodic inventory system, but it is also more expensive to use. Depending on the number of mixers that are going to be sold, you can do it hand or use a computer software which would make things much easier, but you need to spend time (labor) and money to do so.
If Mei-ling is expecting to sell only a small number of mixers, then she could use a periodic inventory system which is much more simple and is only updated every certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually). This is a cheaper system but it is the best alternative.
3. "How often do I need to count inventory if I maintain it using the perpetual system? Do I need to count inventory at all?"
Even if you use the perpetual inventory system, you will eventually need to physically count your inventory in order to make sure that the records have been properly made, but you could do it once or twice a year. Again it depends on the total units that she expects to have in inventory.
