Answer:
1.89%
Explanation:
The book value of the merchandise is $178,000
Physical inventory reveals stock is worth $169,000
The shrinkage = $178,000 - $169,000
=$9000
As a percentage of sales, the shrinkage will be
=$9000/$476,000 x 100
=0.0189076 x 100

Answer:
It should accept the special order at the price of $36 as the total marginal cost will be $28.5 (27 variable cost + 1.15 shipping cost).
Explanation:
Special orders are accepted only if marginal revenue increases the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the total cost incurred to fulfill any order.
In the given scenario, since the Company already has adequate capacity and it will not incur any additional fixed cost, therefore the order can be accepted by taking variable cost in to consideration.
Marginal Revenue 36
Less: Marginal Cost
Variable Cost (27)
Shipping Cost <u> (1.15)</u>
Total Profit from Order <u> 7.85</u>
$3878.55
Explanation:
Step 1 :
It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good
Explanation: What is a normal good and what is an inferior good.
Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.
This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.
From the question above, we can say that car trips are inferior goods while the air travel are normal goods.
