<em>Answer:</em>

<em>1. Availability of Money:</em>

<em>The expenditure of a family depends upon the availability of money or total income of the family. It can afford to spend under various needs. In lower income group, families expenditure is more on food. Higher income group families spend more on recreation, education and luxuries etc.</em>

<em>2. The size and the composition of the family:</em>

<em>Expenditure depends upon the size and composition of the family. The size of the family means the number of adults and children. The more the mouths to eat the expenditure is more on food, clothing and shelter. With the growth of children, more will be spent on education and clothing. More will be spent towards transportation when the members go out of the house for work or study.</em>

<em>Composition of the family means the number of adults and children in the family. It also includes the number of males, females and old persons. For old persons, extra expenditure will be incurred towards health and medical expenses.</em>

<em>3. Stages of family life cycle:</em>

<em>Family life cycle plays an important role in spending money. At the beginning stage, most part of the family income is spent towards the establishment expenditure as a newly married couple starts their family life. In the expanding stage families need money for the children, their food, dress, education etc. Some families in the expanding stage spend more on purchasing durable household goods, furniture etc. In the contracting stage major expenditure is on wedding celebration of their children. During this stage, the family income is gradually reduced. So the expenditure should be cut short.</em>

<em>4. Occupation of the family members:</em>

<em>Sometimes expenditure of the family depends upon the occupation of the family members. In certain jobs, there are special benefits like free quarters, educational facilities for children, health and medical allowance, travelling allowance etc.</em>

<em>5. The needs and objectives of the family:</em>

<em>Expenditure will be done according to the needs and objectives of the family. For example, a family where young children are there, more will be spent for nutritious foods. Old people require health and medical expenses. Working women spend money for the servants as they do not find time to do the household work.</em>

<em>6. Resources:</em>

<em>Both human and material resources can make significant changes in the pattern of expenditure of a family. The abilities, skill, knowledge, interest, attitude and habits of the members of the family can be utilized for various purposes as supplementary income.</em>

<em>7. Locality of the family:</em>

<em>In rural areas more will be spent on food. But in urban areas the expenditure is more on education, recreation, transportation, accommodation etc.</em>

<em>8. Socio-economic status of the family:</em>

<em>The socio-economic status of the family is determined by its income, education level and occupation of the members. The higher the socio-economic status the expenditure will be more on interior decoration, higher education, club membership, accommodation, recreation etc. The total expenditure depends on the standard of living the family maintains.</em>

<em>9. Social and religious traditions:</em>

<em>Some families accept old and traditional values. So they spend more on marriages and religious festival.</em>

<em>10. Personal choice:</em>

<em>Expenditure depends upon the personal choice. For example, one person may have a liking for expensive perfumes and jewellery while another may have simple tastes. Expenditure is also affected by the measures taken in the family to make provision for the future like house building, higher education of children etc. The home-maker will be able to manage with her income by cutting out unnecessary and extravagant expenditure. “One must cut one’s coat according to his cloth.”</em>

<em />

<em>This saying is rightly proved in home management. Balancing of income and expenditure is the best way of money management. Whatever the income may be, the efficient management of money is a requisite for a happy, successful and peaceful family life.</em>

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Company net income will DECREASE by $2,000 if the order is accepted.

Explanation:

Company net income will DECREASE by $2,000 if the order is accepted.

Additional order will produce additional sales revenue of $150 per unit

The marginal cost for this order = Variable costs (Direct material + Direct labour + variable cost) =$152 per unit

Since the marginal cost ($152) is more than the revenue ($150)per unit, there will be a loss of $2 per unit.

So the net income of the company will DECREASE by $2000 ($2x 1000)

What two possible reasons could cause the required return to differ from the coupon interest​ rate? ​(Select the best answer​ be
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A. Cost of funds has changed

B. Firm's risk has changed

Explanation:

The required rate of return on bonds refers to an investor's expected rate of return which is based upon rate of return other investors earn in the market on similarly priced bonds. This is also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.

Coupon rate of payment of bond is the interest payment on such bonds which is usually fixed at the time of issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may differ on account of change in cost of funds to the issuer which is cost of debt denoted as K_{d} . Cost of debt is determined by tax rate and net proceeds from the issue of such bonds.

Required rate of return may also change on account of change in the firm's risk. If the firm assumes more risk, such risk would deter investors from investing in such bonds and in such scenario, the firm has to offer higher coupon rate than the rate prevailing in the market to attract the investors.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

$281,612

Explanation:

Plane Operating Cost = Fixed cost + (Variable cost per unit1 × q1) + (Variable cost per unit 2 × q2)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + ($2709*88) + ($10 * 303)

Plane Operating Cost = $40,190 + $238,392 + $3,030

Plane Operating Cost = $281,612

So, the plane operating costs in the planning budget for August would be $281,612

face value x quote:

590,000 x 101/100 = 595,900

face value                <u> (590,000)</u>

<em>premium </em>                        5,900

<em>There is a premium as we are receiving more than we are going to pay at maturity.</em>

We will debit the cash proceeds form the bond

and credit the bonds and premium
