An inventory system answers two important questions: when to order and how much to order. Which of the following statements correctly explains how a Q System (continuous review system) or a P system (periodic review system) answers these questions? A. Under a Q System, a fixed quantity is ordered every P time period. B. Under a Q system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R. C. Under a P system, a fixed quantity is ordered when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R D. Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods.
Answer:
The answer is letter D
Explanation:
Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods.
Under a Q System, orders are placed when inventory drops to a reorder point R, replenishing it to the target level T. A P System orders at fixed time intervals P, with order quantities varying to reach the target level T.
The correct statement explaining how a Q System (continuous review system) and a P System (periodic review system) answer the questions of when to order and how much to order is: B. Under a Q system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T when the inventory position reaches the reorder point R.
In a Q System, the inventory is continuously monitored, and when the inventory level drops to a predetermined reorder point R, a fixed quantity Q is ordered to bring inventory up to the target level T. This approach responds promptly to inventory level changes, maintaining service level and minimizing stockouts.
Contrastingly, D. Under a P system, an order is placed to replenish the inventory position up to the target level T every P time periods. In a P System, inventory is checked at fixed intervals P, and the order quantity varies depending on the current inventory level and the target inventory level T. This system is suited to controlling inventories with less frequent reviews and tends to batch orders, which may result in larger inventory holdings.
An individual's ecological footprint is equivalent to the:
a.total amount of food consumed by that individual.
b.total amount of energy used by that individual.
c.total amount of carbon emissions from that individual's car.
d.amount of land required to provide all the resources used by that individual.
e.All of these choices are correct.
Answer: option D is correct
Explanation:
This is the biologically productive land that can sustain the individuals activities. It takes into account resources needed to produce goods and clean up it's waste.
An individual's ecological footprint is the total amount of land required to provide all the resources they use, and to absorb their waste. It is a comprehensive measure encompassing all areas of resource consumption and waste generation. In short, it reflects the true environmental impact of our lifestyle.
Explanation:An individual's ecological footprint refers to much more than simply the food they consume, the energy they use, or the emissions from their vehicles. It is a comprehensive measure that is most accurately represented as the amount of land required to provide all the resources (like food, water, energy) used by that individual, and to absorb the waste they generate. Therefore, the correct answer to your question is d. amount of land required to provide all the resources used by that individual.
This footprint is equivalent to how much of the Earth's resources we use and how much waste we create compared to how much the planet can regenerate and absorb. If everyone lived like an average American, we would need five Earths to support us!

Lily has suffered severe injuries from a car accident. She would like to sue for compensation, but does not have enough funds on hand to retain an attorney on her own. What is the best type of fee arrangement for Lily?
a. Hourly fee
b. Contingency fee
c. Fixed fee
d. Administrative fee
Answer:
The correct answer is b. Contingency fee
Explanation:
Contingency fee agreements are generally used in cases where a victim seeks monetary damages due to an injury. There is an agreement called a contingency fee agreement, which allows an individual to obtain legal representation without having to pay in advance. Instead of having to pay in advance, the client will agree to pay the lawyer a percentage of what is guaranteed in case he wins the case. The contingency fee agreement will include any circumstances of payment and the amount of money the lawyer will charge at the end of the case.
The concept of having a contingent fee agreement is that the plaintiff will not have initial expenses. This should help relieve some of the stress that comes with being a victim of personal injury. The client will not pay any legal fee unless and until he wins and his lawyer will receive a percentage of the recovery based on his fee. There will be no legal fees for the lawyer if he does not win the case.
Of 1000 homeowners insured with Crown Insurance, 250 live in a flood plain, 150 live in an area with frequent tornadoes, 100 live in earthquake prone regions, and the remaining 500 reside in small communities located in less hazardous regions. Which of the following will likely apply to the low-risk group of homeowners? Group of answer choices the low and medium-risk groups will pay less than the high-risk group those in the low-risk group will be discouraged from buying home insurance. they must buy insurance and pay more than the actuarially fair amount for their risk group those in the low-risk group will pay less than both the medium-risk and high-risk group
Answer: The answer is (B)
Explanation: For clarity, the options are:
(A) the low and medium risk groups will pay less than the high risk groups
(B) those in the low risk groups will be discouraged from buying home insurance
(C) they must buy insurance and pay more than the actually fair amount for their risk group
(D) those in low risk groups will pay less than both the medium risk and high risk groups
EXPLANATION:
(A) can't be the answer because in Insurance, you are not necessarily allowed to pay according to the exact risk you forsee. The company will have static amounts for each type of insurance e.g. home insurance, car insurance, etc. So, the low and medium risk groups will pay the same amount as the high risk groups once they have decided to insure their homes.
(B) is correct because low risk home residents who haven't taken up a home insurance will see that they don't really benefit from it as much as high risk home residents do. So they will be discouraged to take up a home insurance.
(C) the key word here is "must" and there is no enforcement when it comes to taking up an insurance plan
Answer:
the answer is B

Ecology Co. sells a biodegradable product called Dissol and has predicted the following sales for the first four months of the current year: Jan. Feb. March. April. Sales in units 3,500 4,600 5,700 4,300 Ending inventory for each month should be 20% of the next month's sales, and the December 31 inventory is consistent with that policy. How many units should be purchased in February?
Answer:
4,820 units
Explanation:
The computation of the purchased units in February month is shown below:
= Sale units + ending inventory units - beginning inventory units
where,
Sale units is 4,600 units
Ending inventory units = 5,700 units × 20% = 1,140 units
Beginning inventory units = 4,600 × 20% = 920 units
Now put these units to the above formula
So, the units would equal to
= 4,600 units + 1,140 units - 920 units
= 4,820 units

Vansel Inc. retains most of its earnings. The company currently has earnings per share of $11. Vansel expects its earnings to grow at a constant rate of 2 percent per year. Furthermore, the average PE ratio of all other firms in Vansel's industry is 12. Vansel is expected to pay dividends per share of $3.50 during each of the next three years. If investors require a 10 percent rate of return on Vansel stock, a fair price for Vansel stock today is $____.
a. 113.95
b. 111.32
c. 105.25
d. none of the above
Answer:
A. $113.95
Explanation:
Vansel's expect that the EPS will grow by 2% annually, the earnings per share in 3 years are forecast to be:
Earnings in 3 years = $11×(1+2%)³ = $11.67
The forecasted earnings per share can be multiplied by the PE ratio of the firm’s industry to forecast the future stock price. The average PE ratio of all other firms in Vansel industry is 12, the stock price in three years can be forecast as follows:
Stock price in three years = (Earnings in three years)×(PE ratio of industry) = $11.67×12 = $140.08
This forecasted stock price can be used along with expected dividends and the investor’s required rate of return to value the stock today. Vansel pay a dividend of $3.5 per share over the next three years and the investor’s required rate of return (Re)is 10%, then the present value of expected cash flows to be received by the investor is:
PV = Dividend₁/(1+Re)¹ + Dividend₂/(1+Re)² + Dividend₃/(1+Re)³ +Stock price in three years/(1+Re)³ = $3.5/(1+10%) + $3.5/(1+10%)² + $3.5/(1+10%)³ + $140.08/(1+10%)³ = $113.95
On July 1, 2019, Montana Company has bonds with balances as shown below. Bonds Payable 66,000 Discount on Bonds Payable 3,800 If the company retires the bonds for $71,150, what will be the effect on the income statement?
Answer:
Loss on the retirement of $4,750
Explanation:
The following have the effect on the income statement which is a loss on the retirement and it amounts to $4,750
It is computed as:
Loss on retirement = Retirement value of the bonds - Issued price of the bonds
= $71,150 - $66,400
= $4,750
Working Note:
Issued Price of bonds = Face value - Discount on bonds payable
= $70,000 - $3,600
= $66,400
The retirement of Montana Company's bonds for $71,150 will result in a loss of $8,950, negatively impacting the income statement as this amount exceeds the carrying value of the bonds.
Explanation:On July 1, 2019, Montana Company had bonds payable of $66,000 and a discount on bonds payable of $3,800. If the company decides to retire the bonds for $71,150, the effect on the income statement will be determined by calculating the loss or gain on this retirement. Firstly, we need to adjust the carrying amount of the bonds by subtracting the discount from the bonds payable, resulting in a carrying amount of $62,200 ($66,000 - $3,800). When the bonds are retired for $71,150, this results in a loss because the retirement cost is greater than the carrying amount. The loss calculated would be $8,950 ($71,150 - $62,200), which will negatively affect the income statement as an expense.
Shen manages a grocery store in a country experiencing a high rate of inflation. He is paid in cash. On payday, he immediately goes out and buys as many goods as he can for himself for the next two weeks in order to prevent the money in his wallet from losing value. What he can't spend, he converts into a more stable foreign currency for a steep fee. This is an example of the of _______? inflation.a. menu costsb. shoe-leather costsc. unit-of-account costs
Answer:
b. shoe-leather costs
Explanation:
The shoe leather cost refer to the cost of time and effort to reduce the amount of cash you have with the idea of not losing the value of the money because of a high inflation. So, what people do immediately after they receive the money is to change it to a foreign currency or make purchases as its value is lost quickly. Acording to this, the situation explained is an example of shoe-leather costs.
Cotton created the antebellum South. The wildly profitable commodity opened a previously closed society to the grandeur, the profit, the exploitation, and the social dimensions of a larger, more connected, global community. How did this profitable commodity effect the institutions of slavery in America?
Answer:
Slavery in the southern US began to expand in the Virginia Colony with the tobacco plantations in the Chesapeake area. It expanded southwards with time, first to the Carolinas, were slaves were imported to work in Rice Plantations, and, finally the Georgia colony.
However, cotton began to replace tobacco, rice and sugar in the South, because it was more profitable, and suited better the soil and climate of the region. With the cultivation of cotton, slavery became widespread in the US. The majority of slaves were "imported" from the end of the 17th century to the first decades of the 18th century.
Cotton plantations made then, slavery institutions of the antebellum South widespread, strong and entrenched. The economics of the South practically depended on slavery, just like the economics of the Roman Empire a millenium ago.
Net Steels is a steel manufacturing company. It orders 180 metric tons of raw material per order. It was observed that the company often faces stockout. To tackle this issue, the company incorporated a fixed-quantity system (FQS) and collected the following data. Demand 11,000 metric tons per year Order Cost $18,000 per order Item Cost $36,000 per year Inventory-Holding Cost 20 percent per year Using the data, Net Steels determined that the economic order quantity (EOQ) should be 235 metric tons. In this scenario, the annual amount that Net Steels can save by ordering as per the EOQ instead of its conventional order is________.a. more than $45,000 but less than or equal to $55,000.b. more than $65,000.c. less than $45,000.d. more than $55,000 but less than or equal to $65,000.
Final answer:
To calculate the annual amount that Net Steels can save by ordering as per the economic order quantity (EOQ), we compare the total cost of the conventional order with the total cost of the EOQ. The annual amount saved is the difference between the two costs.
Explanation:
To calculate the annual amount that Net Steels can save by ordering as per the economic order quantity (EOQ), we first need to calculate the total cost of ordering as per the conventional order and the total cost of ordering as per the EOQ.
For the conventional order:
Number of orders = Total demand / Quantity per order = 11,000 / 180 = 61.11 orders (rounded to 61)
Total cost = (Number of orders × Order Cost) + (Total demand × Item Cost × Inventory-Holding Cost)
Total cost = (61 × $18,000) + (11,000 × $36,000 × 0.20) = $1,098,000 + $79,200,000 = $80,298,000
For the EOQ:
Total cost = (Total demand × Item Cost × Inventory-Holding Cost) = 11,000 × $36,000 × 0.20 = $79,200,000
The amount saved by ordering as per the EOQ instead of the conventional order is the difference between the total costs:
Amount saved = Total cost (Conventional order) - Total cost (EOQ) = $80,298,000 - $79,200,000 = $1,098,000
Therefore, the annual amount that Net Steels can save by ordering as per the EOQ instead of its conventional order is less than $45,000 (option c).
Among the advantages of cycle counting is that it: allows more rapid identification of errors and consequent remedial action than is possible with annual physical inventory. makes the annual physical inventory more acceptable to management. does not need to be performed for less expensive items. does not require the detailed records necessary when annual physical inventory is used. does not require highly trained people.
Answer:
Allows more rapid identification of errors and consequent remedial action than is possible with annual physical inventory
Explanation:
Cycle counting is a prominent stock tallying arrangement that enables organisations to include various things in various zones inside the distribution centre without calculating the whole stock. Cycle checking is an inspecting method where the count of a specific number of things derives the mean the entire distribution centres. It also helps in the identification of errors.
Cycle counting offers advantages such as rapid error identification and maintains accurate records, making annual inventories more manageable and reliable. It requires detailed records just like annual inventories and needs to be performed on all inventory items for effectiveness.
Explanation:Among the advantages of cycle counting is that it allows for a more rapid identification of errors and enables quick remedial action, which can be more efficient than what is possible with an annual physical inventory. This ongoing process can help make the annual physical inventory more acceptable to management, as it ensures that inventory records are accurate throughout the year. However, it's important to note that cycle counting still requires detailed records similar to annual physical inventory and needs to be performed even for less expensive items to maintain accuracy. While it may not require highly trained people, sufficiently trained personnel are essential to perform cycle counting effectively, especially when identifying and correcting errors.

d. This cannot be determined from the given information
Explanation:
To find the average revenue of 200 units it is necessary to know the total units. However, the function of the marginal revenue is not given. It is impossible to infer the marginal revenue (price) of other units (of output) only from knowing the marginal revenue of the 100th unit.
If a perfectly competitive firm with constant returns to scale was reorganized as a monopoly, its monopoly price would be ________ the perfectly competitive price and its monopoly output would be ________ the perfectly competitive output.
Answer:
The correct answers are: greater than; less than.
Explanation:
In the perfect competition model, the nature of the scale returns poses serious problems, whatever the case considered. Sise assumes that the returns of scale are increasing, the supply of companies is infinite; if they are constant, the offer is null, infinite or indeterminate (equilibrium case); if they are decreasing, the profit of the companies is strictly positive in the balance '. In the latter case, if they could do so, companies would be interested in dividing themselves, without any limit, into entities as small as possible.
In class, we considered the way in which value-pricing is used by firms like McDonald's to provide more value to consumers. In general, this one useful approach to get consumers' attention for our product. However, as discussed, a practical problem can arise if: a. The COSTS for ingredients may rise, so that the firm cannot produce a profit at the value-priced amount. b. COMPETITION can charge us with illegal price competition. c. Consumer groups accuse us of caring more about profits than about our consumers' health. d. Managers cannot calculate the value price in the store e. as a practical matter, we pointed out that value-pricing always reduces our profits.
Answer:
A) The COSTS for ingredients may rise, so that the firm cannot produce a profit at the value-priced amount.
Explanation:
Value pricing strategies usually work because consumers always like good offers and what better offer than a cheap price. But for any company to be able to sell at very low prices, the inputs they use including labor, materials and capital must be cheap also. That is the reason why McDonald's pays a low salary and they have to buy the cheapest possible ingredients.
If the price of any of their inputs increases significantly, then they will start losing money if they keep their prices low. If we want to pay $1 for a hamburger, then we cannot expect it to be made with the best ingredients available or by the best paid chefs in the world.

Your client performed the physical count of inventory as of November 30, one month prior to year-end. Subsequently, your client closed the sales journal on 12/29/XX, two days before year-end, and reported those two days' credit sales in January of the next year. Assuming the client uses a perpetual inventory system, which of the following is most likely to be overstated relating to the year XX financial statements?
A. Sales.
B. Cash.
C. Inventory.
D. Accounts receivable.
Answer:
The answer is C, that is, for the inaccurate accounting recording described in the question, inventory is most likely to be overstated.
Explanation:
For the year XX, any sales happening in the last two days of the year must be recorded in the year XX. However, as sales journal closes 02 days before year end, these recordings will be recorded in (XX +1) year.
As a sales transaction happens, Cash and Account Receivable go up (Dr), Sales also increases (Cr) while Inventory decreases (Cr).
With the early closing of sales journal, as explained above, if any sales takes place in the last two days of the year, Cash and Account Receivable and Sales for the year XX will be understated (because they are inaccurately recorded in the (XX+1) year ) and Inventory will be understated (also because they are inaccurately recorded in the (XX+1) year).
Premier Co. produces park equipment and is currently producing 10,000 park benches annually. A supplier has offered to produce the bench for Premier Co. for $500 per bench. Premier Co. incurs unit-level costs of $490 per unit. Premier also spends $50,000 on product design each year and incurs $100,000 of facility-level costs. Calculate the avoidable production cost for Premier Co. to produce 1 bench.
Final answer:
Premier Co.'s avoidable production cost to produce one park bench is $490, which represents the direct unit-level costs associated with producing each bench. Other costs such as product design and facility-level costs are not considered avoidable as they would be incurred irrespective of production decisions.
Explanation:
The question asks to calculate the avoidable production cost for Premier Co. to produce one park bench, given that the company currently produces 10,000 benches annually, incurs unit-level costs of $490 per bench, spends $50,000 annually on product design, and has facility-level costs of $100,000.
Avoidable costs are those that can be saved if the company stops producing the benches. The unit-level cost of $490 per bench is the direct cost of producing each bench and is thus considered an avoidable cost. However, the product design costs of $50,000 and facility-level costs of $100,000 are sunk costs and not avoidable in the short term as they are incurred regardless of the number of benches produced. Thus, the avoidable cost for producing one bench is $490, only considering the unit-level costs.
