Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Last year:
DVDs sold = 10
Selling price of each DVD = $20
DVD players sold = 5
Selling price of each DVD player = $100
This year:
DVDs sold = 150
Selling price of each DVD = $10
DVD players sold = 10
Selling price of each DVD player = $60
Real GDP:
= (No. of DVDs sold this year × Selling price of each DVD last year) + (No. of DVD players sold this year × Selling price of each DVD player last year)
= (150 × $20) + (10 × $100
)
= 3,000 + 1,000
= $4,000.
Answer:
$87,200
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of merchandise purchase is shown below:
As we know that
Cost of goods sold = Beginning merchandise inventory + purchase of merchandise - ending merchandise inventory
$69,400 = $11,600 + purchase of merchandise - $29,400
$69,400 = -$17,800 + purchase of merchandise
So, purchase value of merchandise is
= $69,400 + $17,800
= $87,200
Answer:
d.) discretionary expenses
Explanation:
We can explain going further into what is each item.
<u>A and B are your income </u>(for this question don’t sweat about the difference between gross and realized). They will constitute all the money you have in that period (the period will depend on the regularity of your income, it could be weekly, monthly, etc.).
Your fixed expenses are the things you will expend money on which, no matter what happens, will not change (it could be your rent, tax, health insurance, etc.).
Discretionary expenses, however, are costs that are things that you WANT, not NEED. It could go anywhere from a new shoe to a new boat (if you´re feeling rich, that is lol). That kind of expense will impact your available money (hey, nothing is free) but is not part of your budget as it is not a planned cost.
However, is important to note that if you wanna be super Monica Geller with your money you should forecast your discretionary expenses. Using your history as a base for calculating will eliminate most of the margin error.
