Answer:

Profit in the combined market OR Combined profit is

π = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars

Explanation:

NOTE: The second or B part of the question is incomplete hence only answers to A part are provided

(A) The data given are:

TFC = $11,000 /month

TVC = $4 /unit = $4Q

QD = 600 - 6P

MR = 100 - 0.333Q

The data derived from this are:

TC = TFC + TVC = 11,000 + 4Q

PROFIT = TR - TC

TR = ∫MR = ∫(100 - 0.333Q) = 100Q - 0.1665Q²

PROFIT = 100Q - 0.1665Q² - 11,000 - 4Q

PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars

If the money used to purchase WestCo is factored in, then you'll subtract it from this profit. That will be;

PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 69,000 dollars

Answer:

= $40,815

Explanation:

For computing the assets first determine the equity for the year 2018 which is shown below:

Equity is

= Total assets - total liabilities

= $28,160 - $15,206

= $12,954

Now the total assets for the year 2019 is

= total liabilities + total equity

= $16,086 + $12,954 + $9750 + $7,900 - $5,875

= $16,086 + $24,729

= $40,815

Answer: c. The controllable variance pertains solely to fixed costs

Explanation:

For overhead variance, it should be noted that standard hours allowed are used in calculating the controllable variance, standard hours allowed are used in calculating the volume variance and the total overhead variance pertains to both variable and fixed costs.

Answer:

PV= $5,342.89

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= $9,500

First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate (i) and the number of periods (n):

i= 0.0825/12= 0.006875

n= 7*12= 84

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 9,500/(1.006875^84)

PV= $5,342.89

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Answer:

Dr Cash ($500,000 * $103 / $100) $507,500

Cr Bond Payable                                           $507,500

Cr Bond premium                                          $7,500  

Explanation:

The bond was issued at 1st March and the interest due is at 31st of December which means that first 2 month interest has been accrued and thus requires journal entry to record:

Dr Interest Expense ($500,000 * 9% * 2/12)  $7,500

Cr Interest Payable                                                $7,500

At the issuance date, the price of the bond is $103 and this is the price that was received when the bond was issued, hence the cash collected would be:

Cash Collected = ($500,000 * $103 / $100) = $515,000

$7,500 would be the interest accrued which means:

Cash collected for bond = $515,000 -  $7,500 = $575,000

Now the entry would be:

Dr Cash ($500,000 * $103 / $100) $507,500

Cr Bond Payable                                           $507,500

Cr Bond premium                                          $7,500  

Answer:

Difference between accrual accounting and cash basis accounting:

The insurance expense for the period will be $900 under the accrual accounting basis.  But with the cash basis of accounting, the insurance expense for the period will be $1,200 being the amount of insurance paid during the period.

Explanation:

a) Data:

A. Prepaid insurance beginning $400

B. Payments for insurance during the period $1,200

C. Prepaid insurance ending $700

With accrual basis, the insurance prepaid of $400 at the beginning will be accounted as expense in the current year when the services are consumed.  The amount would be debited to the Prepaid Insurance account as a current asset.  The payments for insurance during the period of $1,200 are also added to the beginning prepayment.  Then the prepaid insurance ending of $700 is deducted (credited) to the insurance account to arrive at the insurance expense for the period.

The cash basis accounting will charge the sum of $1,200 as the insurance expense for the period with no regard for the beginning and ending balances of prepayments.

Answer:

                                                              ($500,000 - $469,500)  

June 30         $22,500         $23,475                $975        $29,525  $470,425

  ($500,000 × 4.5%)            ($469500 × 5%)

The six months rate would be the half of the rates given in the question

Answer:

I'm not sure what a gigastrap is or if it is just a some term made up for this question, but whenever an import tariff is set, the price of the product will increase. It doesn't matter if it is something simple as sugar, microchips, diamonds, cars, etc. It doesn't even matter if the product can be produced domestically or not, the price will still increase since the domestic producers will increase their price to match the increase in price of foreign goods. This is the reason why sugar is so expensive in the US, since the domestic producers charge extremely high prices because they know there is no way foreign sugar producers can compete with them due to the import tariffs and quotas.

Answer:

235.5 days

Explanation:

Chik's chicken has accounts receivables of $6,333

The sales for the year for Chik's chicken is $9,800

The first step is to calculate the receivables turnover

= $9,800/$6,333

= 1.55

Therefore the average collection period for Chik's chicken can be calculated as follows

= 365/1.55

= 235.5 days

Hence the average collection period for Chik's chicken is 235.5 days

Requirements as provided in the question

Answer:

Granger Services Inc.

a. Net Working Capital:

Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $43,800 - 20,300

= $23,500

b.  Current ratio:

Current assets / current liabilities

= $43,800/20,300

= 2.16

c. Debt Ratio:

Total Liabilities/Total Assets * 100

= $36,300/$93,000 * 100

= 0.39 or 39%

d) At ​January 31, ​2016, net working capital was $23,500​, the current ratio was ​2.16, and the debt ratio was 0.39.

e) Grange's ability to pay both current and total debts improved marginally during the fiscal year with less current liabilities vis-a-vis the current assets and more long-term debts as can be discerned from the current ratio and debt ratio respectively.

f) Grange's debt position became weak in 2016 as its debts can be settled with 39% of the total assets as against 2015's 15%.  This implies that whereas, 15% of the assets could settle the debts in 2015, Grange needed 39% of assets to settle debts in 2016.  This is a deterioration for a company that does not want to be highly leveraged.  Otherwise, it is an improvement in debt leverage.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

So 385,000 yards will be needed.

The estimated January 1, 2012, beginning inventory is $124,000.

The desired ending balance is $120,000.

The material costs $4.00 per yard.

Direct material budget:

Production= 385,000*4= 1,540,000

Desired ending inventory= 120,000
