A refrigerator sells for $1,044 on the installment plan. After making a down payment of $100, you pay $59 a month. How many months will it take to pay for the refrigerator?
Answer:
16 months
Explanation:
Calculating the remaining amount to pay by subtracting the down payment from the installment price:
$1,044 - $100 = $944
The remainder to pay is $944
Calculating the monthly payment by dividing the remainder to be paid by the number of months as shown below
$944 / Number of months = $59
Number of months * $59 = $944
Number of months = $944 / $59
Number of months = 16 months
When should the trial balance totals differ?
A. Only when it is drawn up by the accountant
B. When drawn up before the profit and loss account is prepared
C. If drawn up halfway through the financial year
D. Never
Answer:
C. If drawn up halfway through the financial year
Explanation:
A business prepares a trial balance to check on the accuracy of the double-entry system. The trial balance detects any mathematical errors that may have occurred during recording or posting information in various accounts.
A trial balance lists all the accounts as obtained from a firm's general ledger. It sums up the closing balances of all debits on one column and credits on the other. If the debits and credits balance, the firm's ledger book is presumed not to have mathematical errors.
The preparation of a trial balance is at the end of a financial period, before the main financial statements. It uses the closing balances of the ledger accounts. If some accounts are not closed, then a trial balance will not balance.
The equation Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity is called the
Answer:
Accounting Equation
Explanation:
The accounting equation forms the basis of preparing a balance sheet and the double-entry accounting concept.
The accounting equation is presented as Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder’s Equity. The balance sheet presentation follows this concept. It is divided into three segments, assets, liabilities, and equity.

Which of the following is NOT a good reason to buy a stock index fund like the
S&P 500?
0 You want to have an investment that you don't have to monitor as closely as an actively
managed fund
0 You want to have an investment with low fees
O You want to "beat the market" with the return on your investment
O You want to have a diversified portfolio
Previous
Next
Answer:
You want to "beat the market" with the return on your investment
Explanation:
The SP 500 is a good example of diversified portfolio investment. Investing in the index fund is less costly compared to other investment instruments. The SP 500 is considered the benchmark of investment returns in the US. Any attempts to perform better than the SP 500 is termed as trying to "beat the market."
Investors prefer good stock indexes like the SP 500 because they represent diversified investments. They spread risks in many sectors of the economy. Stock indexes have low investment costs and don't need close contact monitoring. Trying to "beat the market" with stock indexes is a daunting task. Any investor who attempts it will end up very frustrated.
Suppose that Italy and Austria both produce fish and shoes. Italy's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 5 pounds of fish while Austria's opportunity cost of producing a pair of shoes is 10 pounds of fish. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing shoes in the two countries, you can tell thatItaly has a comparative advantage in the production of shoes andAustria has a comparative advantage in the production of fish. Suppose that Italy and Austria consider trading shoes and fish with each other. Italy can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than5 pounds of fish for each pair of shoes it exports to Austria. Similarly, Austria can gain from trade as long as it receives more than1/10 pair of shoes for each pound of fish it exports to Italy. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of shoes in terms of fish) would allow both Austria and Italy to gain from trade?
a. 9 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
b. 18 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
c. 3 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
d. 1 pound of fish per pound of cheese.
Answer:
a. 9 pounds of fish per pound of cheese.
Explanation:
The gain from trade would arise at the time when the price of the cheese with respect to the fish is more than 5 and less than 10
So according to the given option the first option is met the criteria
The 9 is more than 5 and less than 10
And, the other options does not met the criteria
So, the first option i.e. a is correct
And, all other options are wrong

Some organizations may choose to have job applicants complete an application form created by the firm, instead of just allowing the employee to write his own. Give ONE (1) key reason why
the firm may prefer to have an application form completed.
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Job applicants complete an application form created by the employer to gather relevant information from potential employees. One reason employers prefer Job application forms is to gather comprehensive and consistent data from all applicants. This facilitates a fair analysis of applicants' backgrounds.
Application letters and resumes may not have uniform data. The employer designs the application form to ensure they get all the data they require from all applicants. Again, resume's do not include important information such as names and contacts of immediate and past supervisors.

Explain why the scenario below does or does not meet the definition of successful leadership. Situation: Barbara is the owner of a coffee shop. Two of her employees disagree on the best way to order the right amount of coffee. Barbara: "I've developed ordering software that uses our sales history to establish an average amount of coffee that we will order each week. This way we won't order too little and run out or order too much and have waste." Employee #1: "That makes sense." Employee #2: "I think that's a good idea."
Answer:
Some of the characteristics of successful leaders are that they must be able to direct, guide and commit their employees. In this example, Barbara is just doing that, she is telling her employees what will be done in a way that they both agree upon and believe it is a good option.
She was able to stop an argument that could eventually lead to more serious problems within the organization and provided a solution that satisfied both parties.

Charlie likes both apples and bananas. he consumes nothing else. the consumption bundle where charlie consumes xa bushels of apples per year and xb bushels of bananas per year is written as (xa, xb). last year, charlie consumed 20 bushels of apples and 5 bushels of bananas.
Answer:
the question is incomplete:
It happens that the set of consumption bundles (xA,xB) such that Charlie is indifferent between (xA,xB) and (20,5) is the set of all bundles such that xB = 100/xA. The set of bundles (xA,xB) such that Charlie is just indifferent between (xA,xB) and the bundle (10,15) is the set of bundles such that xB = 150/xA.
I also found the attached graph.
The requirements are:
Is (30,5) ≈ (10,15) true or false? Is (10,15) > (20,5) true or false? Is (20,5) ≥ (10,10) true or false? Is (24,4) ≥ (11,9.1) true or false? Is (11,14) > (2,49) true or false? A set is convex if for any two points in the set, the line segment between them is also in the set. Is the set of bundles that Charlie weakly prefers to (20,5) a convex set? Is the set of bundles that Charlie considers inferior to (20,5) a convex set? The slope of Charlie’s indifference curve through a point, (xA,xB), is known as his ______________ ___ of ___________ at that point. Find Charlie’s marginal rate of substitution at the point (10,10). Find Charlie’s marginal rate of substitution at the point (5,20). Find Charlie’s marginal rate of substitution at the point (20,5). Do the indifference curves you have drawn for Charlie exhibit diminishing marginal rates of substitution?Answers:
true, they are on the same red linetrue, (10,15) is on the red line while (20,5) is on the blue linetrue, they are equivalent since both are on the blue linefalse, (11,9.1) is on the blue line and (24,4) is on the red linetrue, (11,14) is on the red line while (2,29) is on the blue portionyes, it is a convex set no, they are not a convex setThe slope of Charlie’s indifference curve through a point, (xA,xB), is known as his RATE of SUBSTITUTION at that point. marginal rate of substitution at (10,10) = -10/10 = -1marginal rate of substitution at (5,20) = -20/5 = -4marginal rate of substitution at (20,5) = -5/20 = -1/4 = -0.25yes, this curves shows diminishing marginal rates of substitutions, e.g. goes from -4 to -1 to -0.25when you should send an email

Explanation:
Esther estimates that she will need about $8,600.00 for the first year of tuition at college. Her grandparents contribution will cover $3,010.00 of the tuition expenses, and Esther will need to save to pay for the rest. If Esther has 2 years to save, what is the minimum amount that she should save each month for the next 2 years? Be sure to round your answer to the hundreths place value and answer in a complete statement.
Answer:
$232.92
Explanation:
Since Esther's parents have contributed a total of $3,010 to her tuition then Esther would need a total of
$8,600 - $3,010 = $5,590
Since there are a total of 24 months in a span of 2 years, then we would need to divide the total amount of money that Esther needs by these 24 months to calculate the minimum amount that she needs to save each month to reach her goal. Like so...
$5,590 / 24 = 232.916
Therefore, we can see that Esther would need to save a minimum of $232.92 every single month to be able to hit her goal of $5,590 in 2 years.
