Answer:
a. consumption
b. export
c. Investment
d. Government spending
e. consumption, import
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Net export = exports – imports
When exports exceeds import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.
Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:
1. services not rendered to oneself
2. Activities not reported to the government
3. illegal activities
4. sale or purchase of used products
5. sale or purchase of intermediate products
Latasha's purchase of the made in US video camera would be added as part of consumption spending by households on durable goods.
Latasha's father's purchase of Vermont syrup would be added as export in US's GDP. Export are goods that are sold to other countries.
government purchases includes all of the government spending.
the computer upgrade would be added a part of investment. Investment includes all of business spending.
Jake imported the wine, so it would be recorded as import and also as part of consumption spending on non durable goods
Assume that you work for a company that produces different types of flavored salty snacks for many different target markets (for example, flavored potato chips or flavored sunflower seeds). One part of your job is to explore regularly what flavors your potential customers might like. Taste preferences constantly change, and you may not always be aware of all the flavors people crave. With the above research objective in mind, which type of research would you most likely conduct on a regular basis
Answer:
Focus group
Explanation:
The focus group refers to the people who are involved in a group to discuss about the topic that is related to the research of the market or the analysis of something or discussing for the new product.
It is an open discussion so that everyone who is in a group put their ideas and analyzed it what reactions would be received from an entire population
Since in the question, the taste and preferences changes constantly and the problem is that you are not aware of the flavours what actually people want so it should be discussed in a group so that proper analysis could be made by considering everyone perceptions
Therefore this research represent the focus group
Q 11.35: Felix Incorporated has just exchanged 1,250 shares of $65 par-value preferred stock for a parcel of land advertised for a price of $90,000. If the current market value of the stock is $75 per share, how should Felix journalize this transaction
Answer:
Felix Incorporated
Exchange of Preferred Stock for Land:
Journal Entries:
Debit Land $90,000
Credit Preferred Stock $81,250
Credit Additional Paid-in Capital - Preferred Stock $8,750
To record the issue of 1,250 of $65 par-value preferred stock for land with a fair price of $90,000.
Explanation:
Felix Incorporated will debit Land with the fair price of $90,000 and Credit the Preferred Stock account with $81,250 (1,250 x $65) at par-value. The difference between the fair price of land and the preferred stock at par-value is credited to additional paid-in capital account for preferred stock. Felix Incorporated cannot take into account the current market value of the stock at $75 in its accounting records. The current share price of $75 is for the benefit of investors, and can only serve as basis for Felix Incorporated to decide transactions with potential investors.

Compute gross profit earned by the company for each of the four costing methods. For specific identification, the March 9 sale consisted of 135 units from beginning inventory and 265 units from the March 5 purchase; the March 29 sale consisted of 115 units from the March 18 purchase and 155 units from the March 25 purchase.
Answer:
gross profit:
under FIFO = $21,040under LIFO = $17,930under weighted average = $19,539.79under specific identification = $19,655Explanation:
Some information was missing, so I looked it up:
Date Activities Units Acquired Units Sold at Retail
Mar. 1 Beginning inv. 230 units at $53.60
Mar. 5 Purchase 290 units at $58.60
Mar. 9 Sales 400 units at $88.60
Mar. 18 Purchase 150 units at $63.60
Mar/ 25 Purchase 280 units at $65.60
Mar. 29 Sales 270 units at 90.60
Totals 950 units 670 units
ending inventory = 280 units
so COGS:
under FIFO = (230 x $53.60) + (290 x $58.60) + (150 x $63.60) = $38,862
under LIFO = (280 x $65.60) + (150 x $63.60) + (240 x $58.60) = $41,972
under weighted average = ($57,230 / 950) x 670 = $40,362.21
under specific identification = (135 x $53.60) + (265 x $58.60) + (115 x $63.60) + (155 x $65.60) = $40,247
total revenue = (400 x $88.60) + (270 x $90.60) = $35,440 + $24,462 = $59,902
gross profit:
under FIFO = $59,902 - $38,862 = $21,040
under LIFO = $59,902 - $41,972 = $17,930
under weighted average = $59,902 - $40,362.21 = $19,539.79
under specific identification = $59,902 - $40,247 = $19,655
Production estimates for August are as follows: Estimated inventory (units), August 1 12,000 Desired inventory (units), August 31 9,000 Expected sales volume (units), August 75,000 For each unit produced, the direct materials requirements are as follows: Material A ($5 per lb.) 3 lbs. Material B ($18 per lb.) 1/2 lb. The number of pounds of Materials A and B required for August production is a. 225,000 lbs. of A; 37,500 lbs. of B b. 234,000 lbs. of A; 39,000 lbs. of B c. 216,000 lbs. of A; 36,000 lbs. of B d. 216,000 lbs. of A; 72,000 lbs. of B
Answer: C) 216,000 lbs. of A; 36,000 lbs. of B
Explanation:
Given the following :
Estimated inventory (units), August 1, = 12,000 Desired inventory (units), August 31, = 9,000
Expected sales volume (units) = 75,000
Direct material requirement:
Material A ($5 per lb.) = 3 lbs
Material B ($18 per lb.) = 1/2 lbs
The number of pounds of material A and B required for August production :
Unit of product required for August production :
Expected sales volume + Ending inventory(August 31) - beginning inventory (August 1)
= 75000 + 9000 - 12000
84000 - 12000 = 72,000
Number of pounds required ;
Total Production unit × pounds per unit required
Material A:
72,000 × 3 = 216,000 pounds
Material B:
72,000 × (1/2) = 36,000 pounds

The question is incomplete:
The federal government has asked how your company plans to reduce pollution in your metropolitan area. You decide to organize a team (members from different departments) to handle the government's request. To increase a sense of empowerment, what should you do?
A) Have them generate ideas for you to decide
B) Treat them as a suggestion team and have them teach each other their job
C) Allow them to make the decision but tell them that you will handle how the decision will be implemented
D) Allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well
Answer:
D) Allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well
Explanation:
Empowerment means to provide employees certin autonomy and giving them the resources to handle their projects. According to this, the answer is that to increase a sense of empowerment, you should allow them to make the decision and implement the solution as well as you will be allowing the employees to have the responsability to handle a task completely.
The other options are not right because when the supervisor maintains certain power to make decisions, employees don't increase the sense of empowerment as they are not able to handle the request by themselves.
Zeke's Zipline Adventures sold 6 acres of land used in the business. The sales price was $12,000 and the adjusted basis of the land was $9,000. Zeke received $4,000 at the time of sale and will receive the remaining $8,000 early next year. How much gain will Zeke recognize in the current year
Answer:
$1,000
Explanation:
Zeke's zipline sold 6 acres of land
The sales price of the land was $12,000
The adjusted basis of the land was $9,000
Zeke received an amount of $4,000 at the time of sale
The remaining $8,000 will be received next year
Therefore, the amount of gain that will be recognised by Zeke in the Current year can be calculated as follows
Sales price-adjusted basis/sales price
$12,000-$9,000/$12,000
= $3,000/$12,000
= 0.25
Amount received at the time of sale × 0.25
= $4,000×0.25
= $1,000
Hence Zeke will recognise a gain of $1,000 in the Current year.

Johan is the manager of CycleUp and has agreed to build a new manufacturing plant in Argentina. He realizes this decision will cause him to shut down a small plant in Ohio, but he decides that since the new facility will cut his operating costs in half, that is worth more than closing a plant employing ten people. Which philosophical approach to ethics does this demonstrate
Answer: Utilitarian
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Johan is the manager of CycleUp and has agreed to build a new manufacturing plant in Argentina and that he realizes this decision will cause him to shut down a small plant in Ohio, but he decides that since the new facility will cut his operating costs in half, that is worth more than closing a plant employing ten people

"A 5 year 3 1/2% Treasury Note is quoted at 98-4 - 98-9. The note pays interest on Jan 1st and Jul 1st. A customer buys 5M of the notes. Approximately how much will the customer pay, disregarding commissions and accrued interest?"
Answer:
$4,914.06
Explanation:
Calculation for how much will the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest
The 5M which the customers used to buy the notes means that the customer is buying $5,000 par value of the notes.
Take note that the capital letter M in Latin means for $1,000.
Therefore the customer will have to buy at the ask price of 98 and (9/32nds =0.28125) which means that 98%+0.28125 will gives us 98.28127.
Now let calculate for how much will the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest
98.28125% * $5,000 par
= $4,914.06
Therefore the amount that the customer pay by disregarding commissions and accrued interest will be $4,914.06
Medeco sold goods for $100 to a charge customer. The customer returned for credit $25 worth of goods. Terms of the sale were 1/10,n/30. If the customer pays the amount owed within the discount period, what is the amount the customer should pay?
Answer: $74.25
Explanation:
Sale price of goods = $100
Worth of returned goods = $25
Term of sale = 1/10, n/30
Price if customer pays within the discount period equals :
Term of sale: 1% discount on price if the amount owed is paid within 10 days, else full amount is due in 30 days.
Actual price of goods purchased :
Goods purchased - worth of return
$100 - $25 = $75
Discount on price = 1% of $75
(1/ 100) × $75
0.01 × $75 = $0.75
Amount customer should pay:
$75 - $0.75 = $74.25
In her research paper, Kirstein copied a few paragraphs from a renowned author's work verbatim without placing them within quotation marks or citing the source. The review board rejected her paper on grounds of plagiarism. In this scenario, Kirstein has committed:_________.
Answer:
Word-for-word.

Word for word plagiarism is seen to be an unethical form of writing where the said student or researcher is seen to copy a fellow researchers works verbatim and particularly word for word with also quotation marks too. In as much as this is a bad form for writers, people are always seen to commit themselves in still doing it. This can cause a lawsuit in some places depending on the researcher whose work is been stolen/copied.
In all, it is been tagged an act of intellectual dishonesty which comes with uneasy consequences when it is done to a wrong person; a plagiarized assignment may lead to a failing grade, a suspension, or an expulsion.
Brodrick Company expects to produce 20,000 units for the year ending December 31. A flexible budget for 20,000 units of production reflects sales of $400,000; variable costs of $80,000; and fixed costs of $150,000. If the company instead produces and sells 26,000 units for the year, calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Answer:
For 20,000 units, we have 170,000
For 26,000 units, we have 266,000
Explanation:
Here, we are to calculate the expected level of income from operations.
Formulas that can come in handy from the table are;
Variable amount per unit = sales/number of units
contribution margin = Sales - Variable cost
Income from operations = Contribution margin - fixed cost

On April 30, Jemison Engineering receives a special order for a swing set to be delivered to the customer in a month's time. Jemison purchases a number of items specifically for the construction of the swing set: lumber, chains, railings and paint. According to the matching concept, when will Jemison Engineering record the cost of those special items as a cost of goods sold expense?
Answer:
When they record the sales revenue related to this special order.
Explanation:
The matching principle of accounting states that you must record revenue and all related COGS at the same time, i.e. when Jamison Engineering records sales revenue, they also must record COGS associated to the sales. Accrual accounting establishes that you cannot record COGS at a prior or later date.
