The correct statement is   "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."

Mark down refers to a reduction in price of an item or good. The reduction is generally done as a percentage of price of the item. The purpose behind mark down is to increase sales volume.

<h3>Calculation of reduction in price:</h3>

Given:

Markdown in price of baseball bats is 42%

Cost of baseball bats after markdown is $21.46

Markdown in price of hockey sticks is 29%

Cost of hockey sticks after markdown is $39.05

For calculating the amount of markdown, we need to find the original cost of baseball bats and hockey sticks.

Calculation of cost of baseball bats before markdown:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{100-42\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\dfrac{21.46}{58\%}\\&#10;\\&#10;&=\$37\end

Hence the markdown in price of baseball bats is \$37-\$21.46=\$15.54

Similarly, for hockey sticks:

\begin{aligned} \rm Cost \:before\:markdown &= \dfrac{\rm Cost \:after \:Markdown}{100- \rm Markdown\%} \\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{100-29\%}\\\\&=\dfrac{39.05}{71\%}\\\\&=\$55\end

Markdown in the cost of hockey sticks is \$55-\$39.05=\$15.95.

Difference in markdown is:

\$15.95-\$15.54=\$0.41

Therefore it can be concluded that markdown in cost of hockey sticks is more as compared to baseball bats by $0.41

Hence the correct statement is "Hockey sticks had their prices reduced by $0. 41 more than baseball bats."

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

a. Debit to Prepaid Insurance of $10,000

* Option for this question was missing so I have attached a similar question with this answer and answered accordingly.

Explanation:

Insurance purchased for four years was actually prepaid insurance on May 1, Year 2.

The company expensed all amount by positing following entry ( which is a wrong entry)

DR.   Insurance Expense  $12,000

Cr.    Cash                          $12,000

It should be entered as follow:

DR.   Prepaid Insurance   $12,000

Cr.    Cash                          $12,000

At the end of the year 2 8 months has been passed for which $2,000 is accrued and it will be recorded, as all the amount is charged to the expense account we will adjusted the remaining amount of $10,000 to correct this mistake.

Now at the end of year 2 the correct entry which will settle the expense and prepaid insurance as well is as follow.

DR.   Prepaid Insurance   $10,000

Cr.    Insurance Expense  $10,000

Deadweight loss is A. the reduction in consumer expenditure resulting from market failure. B. the reduction in economic surplus
never [62]

Answer:

The answer is: B) The reduction in economic surplus resulting from a market not being in competitive equilibrium.

Explanation:

Deadweight loss is an economic cost to society as a whole when market inefficiencies occur preventing it from reaching its equilibrium point. Market inefficiencies are caused by incorrect allocation of resources.

For example if a price ceiling is established, suppliers will tend to lower the quantity supplied while the quantity demanded either increases or stays the same. That economic deficiency resulting from an unsatisfied demand is what we call deadweight loss.

Other causes for deadweight loss are price floors (reduction of the quantity demanded) and taxation (shifts on the demand or supply curves).

Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

Minimum wages can be defined as the minimum level of wages that an employer is supposed to pay to workers for their work. It cannot be reduced through an individual contract or collective agreement.  

Minimum wages are fixed above the equilibrium level of wages. At this level, the demand for labor is lower while supply is more because of high wages. This creates surplus labor in the market.
