Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Unleaded fuel prices are expected to fall by June 2019 according to future demand forecasts.
Since the future price is less than the spot price, it would be better for long-term buyers who can wait for the price to increase because the market is currently in BACKWARDATION. This happens due to a short-term disparity in demand and supply.
b.
If the information in this sector is reliable and impartial, the expected June price will most likely be similar to the real price we will see in June.
It is reliable if the market is accurate and impartial, i.e. the market research on which knowledge flows.
The prices of goods are either integrated or expressed in such a flow of knowledge.
So, if it's unbiased and reliable, the forecast prices would be reasonably similar to the real future price.

Explanation:
The general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31 will be:
1. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $8,000 × 9% × 51/ 360 = $102
Credit: Interest payable = $102
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on November 10).
2. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% ×30/360 = $120
Credit: Interest payable = $120
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 1)
3. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% × 11/360 = $36.67

9. Stabilization Suppose the US educational system improves, making workers more productive. If the federal reserve is trying to stabilize the price level in response, they should A. do nothing, because prices will not change anyhow. B. do nothing, because prices cannot be prevented from changing in the long run C. sell bonds in open market operations. D. lower the reserve requirement. E. increase the discount rate F. Raise taxes. G. Increase government spending.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
If workers become more productive, the supply curve shifts rightward. As a result prices would fall. In a bid to stabilise price, the federal reserve would conduct an expansionary monetary policy to increase money supply in the economy
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing reserve requirement and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Increasing discount rate and selling bonds are examples of contractionary monetary policies. Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply.
Raising tax is an example of contractionary fiscal policy
Increasing government spending is an example of expansionary fiscal policy

Anthony Thomas Candies (ATC) reported the following financial data for 2021 and 2020:
2021 2020
Sales $ 314,000 $ 290,000
Sales returns and allowances 8,000 4,700
Net sales $ 306,000 $ 285,300
Cost of goods sold:
Inventory, January 1 62,000 18,000
Net purchases 139,000 142,000
Goods available for sale 201,000 160,000
Inventory, December 31 61,000 62,000
Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days
The following data relate to Department no. 3 of Winslett Corporation: Segment contribution margin$540,000 Profit margin controllable by the segment manager 310,000 Segment profit margin 150,000 On the basis of this information, Department no. 3's variable operating expenses are: Multiple Choice Not determinable. $160,000. $80,000. $390,000. $230,000.
Answer:
$230,000
Explanation:
The Profit margin controllable by the segment manager contains only items directly controllable by the manager and this consists of variable costs. So deduct the profit margin controllable by the segment manager from segment contribution margin to arrive at Variable operating expenses.
Calculation of Variable operating expenses
Segment contribution margin $540,000
Less Profit margin controllable by the segment manager ($310,000)
Variable operating expenses $230,000
You and your friends want to buy a condo at the beach to time share. Each of you has single peaked preferences with a most preferred value that you are willing to spend. These values are: Mabel, $10,000; Gertrude, $20,000; Myron, $30,000; Wilber, $40,000; and you, $50,000. The condo costs $150,000. Explain how to implement a uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares.
Answer:
Individual Cost Shares to be enjoyed
Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67%
Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%
Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%
Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%
You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%
Explanation:
peaked preferences
Most preferred value to spend :
Mabel = $10,000
Gertrude = $20,000
Myron = $30,000
Wilber = $40,000
you = $50,000
cost of Condo = $150,000
Implementing a Uniform rule mechanism to allocate costs and shares
The uniform rule ; ∑ j∈I Uj (p) = Ω.
where Ω = fixed amount of resource
hence the summation of all allotment should = Ω ( $150,000 )
Number of friends = 5
cost of condo = $150,000
If divide equally each person will have to pay ; $150,000 / 5 = $30,000
Total money to be spent by friends = 10,000 + 20,000 + 30,000 + 40,000 + 50,000 = $150,000
Individual Cost shares to be enjoyed
Mabel $10,000 10000 / 150000 = 6.67∑%
Gertrude $20000 20000 / 150000 = 13.3%
Myron $30000 30000 / 150000 = 20%
Wilber $40000 40000 / 150000 = 26.6%
You $50000 50000 / 150000 = 33.3%
∑shares ≈ 100% ( 150,000 )
Difference between free market and capitalism.
A firm will maximize the present value of future profits by maximizing current profits when: the growth rate in profits is constant. the growth rate in profits is larger than the interest rate. Correct! the interest rate is larger than the growth rate in profits and both are constant. the growth rate and interest rate are constant and equal.
Answer:
the interest rate is larger than the growth rate in profits and both are constant.
Explanation:
In the case when the firm wants to maximize the present value of the profits that arise in near future so here the current profits would be maximize at the time when the rate of interest would be more than the growth rate and both would remain constant
Hence, the option c is correct
