Answer:
A). The price of gasoline increased in coastal cities since gasoline was harder to find.
Explanation:
As per the principles of demand and supply, a decrease in supply while demand remains constant will cause the price to increase. In Georgia, the supply of gasoline was interrupted by the storm's effect. There was little gasoline coming in, leading to a shortage. After Electricity went off, gasoline demand must have gone high as people needed fuel for generators.
Gasoline has no close substitutes, especially when used as fuel for cars and generators. A shortage results in the scramble for the little available products. Sellers hike prices to maximize profits, and buyers are willing to pay more to get the scarce gasoline, thereby increasing its prices.
Answer:
New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.
The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.
Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.
Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.
Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

Answer:
Ending inventory : $868
Explanation:
FIFO (First-In-First-Out) is a method of inventory valuation where the inventory that is received first is sold first. In other words, the earliest inventory is used first. This is common for perishable inventory such as fruits and vegetables which if not used fast, will be wasted.
01/01/21 : Beginning Inventory : 200 units x $5 = $1000
01/15/21 : Purchases : 100 units x $5.3 = $530
01/28/21 : Purchases : 100 units x $5.5 = $550
Total units = 200 + 100 + 100 = 400 units
Units sold = Total inventory available for sale - ending inventory
= 400 - 160 = 240 units.
COGS:
Beginning Inventory : 200 units x $5 = $1000
Purchases : 40 units x $5.3 = $212
Cost of goods sold : $1000 + $212 = $1212
Ending inventory:
Purchases : (100 - 40) units x $5.3 = $318
Purchases : 100 units x $5.5 = $550
Ending inventory : $318 + $550 = $868
More moderate. Now there are more organizations that focus on a far left or far right audience and their coverage is more polarized/biased toward their opinion that in the past.
