Answer and Explanation:
Different things being constant, a slowdown in population growth will lead to an increase in the availability of capital per worker and output per worker.
At the steady state, output per worker will grow at the rate of g while. Thus, steady state per person output growth will be same, however total output will increase at the rate n+g.
In case of transition between steady states, during the transition phase, output per worker will grow at a rate greater than g. Overtime in the long run with a fall in population growth, total output will fall while output per worker will increase.
Answer:
The quantities of products that should be produced each month are:
300, 300, 300, 300, and 300 respectively.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Production Scheduling Based on Level Strategy:
Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 Total
Beginning Inventory 0 100 100 -100 -100 0
Production 300 300 300 300 300 1,500
Forecast Demand 200 300 500 300 200 1,500
Ending Inventory 100 100 -100 -100 0 0
b) The implication is that the firm will be running in shortage for two months within the five months period. This is not ideal to meet customers' demands. It appears very costly with the holding and shortage costs throughout the period.
Answer:
Dr Accounts Payable 9200 Cr Cash 9016 Cr Inventory 184
Explanation:
The payment terms of 2/10, n/45 mean that if paid within 10 days the company is entitled to a 2% discount. Otherwise full payment is required within 45 days.
Since we're settling the account within 10 days ( 7 days after purchase ) we are entitled to a 2% discount.
Originally the inventory was recorded at 9200 Dr and a Cr to Accounts payable of 9200.
The day the invetory is paid we will record the following (August 10)
Dr Accounts Payable $9200
Cr Cash/Bank $9016
Cr Inventory $184
Since we're using the perpetual inventory system the actual cost of inventory is 9016 and not 9200. Thus inventory is now recorded at 9016. The cast amount is the actual amount used to settle the account after the 2% discount was applied.
