Answer:
This is the sample answer
Explanation:
After a natural disaster, such as a major hurricane, there is increased demand for gasoline, lumber, bottled water, clothing, and other essential goods as people try to replace and rebuild what was lost. At the same time, the supply of these goods likely decreases because of disruptions to factories and transportation. Under normal market conditions, producers would raise their prices at the first sign of trouble, both to offset their own losses from the disaster and to obtain optimal profits.
However, people who have lost everything need to start rebuilding as soon as possible at a price they can afford to pay. The sooner the community is rebuilt and back to normal, the sooner the local economy will return to normal for both consumers and producers. For this reason, I think the government should introduce price ceilings on essential goods during a disaster. Many people would not be able to buy the goods they need without price ceilings. Although producers lose out on maximizing their profits, their actual losses are limited because they are allowed to raise prices to cover production and transportation costs driven up by the disaster.
Because citizens benefit so greatly from them, I think emergency price ceilings are beneficial to the economy as long as producers do not suffer significant losses from them.
Answer: verifiable
Explanation:
A financial information is verifiable when the independent measurers get similar results when using the same accounting measurement methods.
In this scenario, the independent measures use thesame method but do their work separately without them knowing the results gotten by the other person. When there's similarity in the results, it shows that the results are verifiable.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Month - Lease cost - Machine hours
April: $15,000 - 800
May: $10,000 - 600
June: $12,000 - 770
July: $16,000 - 1,000
Using the high-low method, first, we need to determine the unitary variable cost. We need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (16,000 - 10,000) / (1,000 - 600)
Variable cost per unit= $15 per unit
Now, we can calculate the fixed costs:
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 16,000- (15*1,000)
Fixed costs= $1,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 10,000 - (15*600)
Fixed costs= $1,000
Answer:
17.4%
Explanation:
original purchase price 1 year ago = $1,044
current market price:
0.06 = {80 + [(1,000 - MV)/13]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.06 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 80 + [(1,000 - MV)/13]
0.06 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 80 + 76.92 - 0.0769MV
30 + 0.03MV = 156.92 - 0.0769MV
0.1069MV = 126.92
MV = 126.92 / 0.1069 = $1,187.28
total returns during the year = $80 (coupon) + ($1,187.28 - $1,044) = $223.28
nominal return on investment = $223.28 / $1,044 = 21.387%
real return on investment = [(1 + i) / (1 + inflation)] - 1 = [(1 + 0.21387) / (1 + 0.034)] - 1 = 1.174 - 1 = 0.174 = 17.4%
