Using the Lower of Cost or Market (LCM) approach, Smith Company's inventory should be valued at $104, as this is the smaller value between the replacement cost and the market price.
Option C is correct
Explanation:The lower of cost or market (LCM) approach indicates that inventory should be valued at the lesser of the cost to replace the inventory or the market value. In the case of Smith Company, the cost of the inventory is $100, and the replacement cost is $106.
However, the market price (the expected sales price less the selling costs: $110 - $6 = $104) is lower than the replacement cost. Therefore, following the LCM approach, the inventory should be valued at $104.

C) An increase in government spending is not because they are expenditure on goods and services that is not part of capital formation.

Suppose the rate of return on a 10-year T-bond is 6.90%, the expected average rate of inflation over the next 10 years is 2.0%, the MRP on a 10-year T-bond is 0.9%, no MRP is required on a TIPS, and no liquidity premium is required on any Treasury security. Given this information, what should the yield be on a 10-year TIPS? Disregard cross-product terms, i.e., if averaging is required, use the arithmetic average.
Answer:
4%
Explanation:
We start with the nominal rate of return and then we adjust it to inflation.
real rate of return = nominal rate of return - inflation rate = 6.9% - 2% = 4.9%
finally we must subtract the maturity risk premium (MRP) of the bonds:
bond yield = real rate of return - MRP = 4.9% - 0.9% = 4%

A ____________ gap between GDP and NDP indicates an increasing obsolescence/depreciation of capital goods..
A. growing C
B. shrinking
C. constant
D. all the above
Answer:
Explanation:
GDP is gross domestic product and NDP is net domestic product.
GDP measures market value of total goods and services produced in a particular period of time.
NDP is net domestic product . In its calculation, we deduct the value of depreciation of capital goods produced from the value of GDP.
So
NDP = GDP - depreciation .
So growing gap between GDP and NDP reflects the increasing obsolescence of capital goods , which warrants replacement of capital goods .

b. greater reliance on debt contracts than financial intermediatries
c. greater reliance on.
d. equity contracts and less on debt cotracts

Suppose there are only two firms in an economy: Cowhide, Inc. produces leather and sells it to Couches, Inc., which produces and sells leather furniture. With each $1,000 worth of leather that it buys from Cowhide, Inc., Couches, Inc. produces a couch and sells it for $2,600. Neither firm had any inventory at the beginning of 2015. During that year, Cowhide produced enough leather for 25 couches. Couches, Inc. bought 80% of that leather for $20,000 and promised to buy the remaining 20% for $5,000 in 2016. Couches, Inc. produced 20 couches during 2015 and sold each one during that year for $2,600. What was the economy's GDP for 2015?
a. $25,000
b. $52,000
c. $57,000
d. $65,000
Answer:
C) $57,000
Explanation:
The gross domestic product is the total production of final and legal goods and services in an economy.
total production of final goods = (20 couches x $2,600 per couch) + (5 leather sets x $1,000 per set) = $52,000 + $5,000 = $57,000
the leather sets are considered final products since they are part of the ending inventory of Cowhide, Inc.

Which of these is a measure of risk to reward earned by an investment over a specific period of time?
A. Coefficient of variation
B. Market deviation
C. Standard deviation
D. Total variation
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Coefficient of variation.
Explanation:
Coefficient of variation is the risk of an asset or portfolio per unit of return.
Coefficient of variation = Standard deviation/ Return
Lower the coefficient, better it is.
If portfolio have same return but different risk or same risk but different return then inventor will prefer portfolio with
higest return at a given level of risk orLowest risk at given level of returnIf portfolio have different returns with different risks, then protfolio with lower coefficient of variation is preferred.
The Coefficient of variation is the measure that best represents the risk to reward ratio for an investment over a specific time period.
Explanation:Among the options provided, the measure risk to reward earned by an investment over a specific period of time is best represented by the Coefficient of variation (Option A). The coefficient of variation is calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the investment's returns by the mean (expected value) of those returns.
This statistic provides information on the degree of variability in relation to the average return, thus reflecting risk in comparison to the potential reward. Option B, Market deviation, is not a commonly used term in this context. Option C, Standard deviation, measures the variability of returns, but does not directly relate it to the reward. Lastly, Option D, Total variation, is a broad term, and not one that specifically measures risk to reward ratio.

Equipment purchased for $85,000 on January 1, 2010, was sold on July 1, 2013 for $30,000. The company uses the straight-line method of computing depreciation, assuming a five year useful life and no salvage value. When recording the sale, the company should record a debit to Accumulated Depreciation for:
A) $51,000
B) $59,500
C) $68,000
D) Nothing; Accumulated Depreciation is not debited.
E) None of the above
Answer:
B) $59,500
Explanation:
The equipment was purchased for 85,000 and has no salvage value which means that all 85,000 will be depreciated over it lifetime. It has a life of 5 years and because it uses straight line method it means that it will depreciate equally each year. The equipment is bought on JAN 1 2010 and sold on July 1 2013 which means that the equipment is used for 3.5 years and in order to find its depreciation we will divide 3.5 by 5 and multiply it by 85,000.
3.5/5*85,000=59,500
Assume that the market for base-balls is in equilibrium. There is a sudden decrease in income throughout the economy. If all else is held constant, we would expect that if base-balls are a(n) ________ good, then the demand curve will shift to the ________, causing the equilibrium price and quantity to ________.a) normal; left; rise b) normal; right; rise c) inferior; right; fall d) normal; left; fall e) inferior: left; fall
Answer:
d) normal; left; fall
Explanation:
A normal good is a good whose demand increases when income increases and whose demand falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls.
If baseball is a normal good and income falls, quantity demanded falls. The demand curve would shift to the left. This leads to a fall in price.
If baseball were an inferior good, if income falls, quantity demanded rises and the demand curve shifts to the right and the equilibrium price and quantity rises.
