Answer:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost Hours
$24,000 5,000
$26,100 6,300
$34,700 7,900
$48,000 11,000
$38,300 9,250
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed cost. We will use the following formulas:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (48,000 - 24,000) / (11,000 - 5,000)
Variable cost per unit= $4 per unit
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 48,000 - (4*11,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 24,000 - (4*5,000)
Fixed costs= $4,000
Now, we can express the cost formula:
Total cost= 4,000 + 4x
x= hours

Both are qualified charitable organizations. Disregarding percentage limitations, Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year is
Answer:
$56,250.
Explanation:
So, we are given the following data or parameters or information which we will use to solve this particular problem or Question;
=>" Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) = $1,350 for Basis and Fair market value = $ 375 "
=> "Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months 12,000 for Basis and 10,875 for fair market value."
=>" Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months 15,000 for Basis and 18,000 for fair market value. "
=> "Real estate held as an investment for two years 15,000 for basis and 30,000 for fair market value."
Zeke's charitable contribution deduction for the year can be calculated by adding the the fair markets values of :
Used clothing of taxpayer and his family (all acquired more than a year ago) + Stock in ABC, Inc., held as an investment for 15 months + Real estate held as an investment for two years
Then, the result gotten will be added to the Basis value for Stock in MNO, Inc., held as an investment for 11 months. Thus;
$ 375 + 10,875 + 30,000 = 41,250.
41,250 + 15,000 = $56,250.
Assuming no employees are subject to ceilings for their earnings, Harris Company has the following information for the pay period of January 15 - 31.
Gross payroll $19,676
Federal income tax withheld $3,438
Social security rate 6%
Federal unemployment tax rate 0.8%
Medicare rate 1.5%
State unemployment tax rate 5.4%
Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of
a) $15,018.09
b) $13,542.39
c) $14,762.30
d) $19,676.00
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of 13,542.39.
Explanation:
Given that the company's gross payroll is $19,676, and that a discount of $3,438 must be applied by the Federal Income Tax, a 6% social security rate, a 0.8% federal unemployment rate, a 1.5% rate Medicare and 5.4% state unemployment rate, the following gross discounts must be made to gross payroll to determine wages to be paid after taxes:
3,438 (Federal Income Tax)
19,676 x 0.06 = 1,180.56 (social security rate)
19,676 x 0.008 = 157.408 (federal unemployment rate)
19,676 x 0.015 = 295.14 (Medicare rate)
19,676 x 0.054 = 1,062.5 (state unemployment rate)
Therefore, those discounts should be subtracted from the gross payroll in order to get the Salaries Payable:
19,676 - 3,438 - 1,180.56 - 157.4 - 295.14 - 1,062.5 = 13,542.39.
You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years. The inflation rate is 2.7% and the nominal rate of return on your investment is 10%. What real amount must you deposit each year in the account to achieve your goal?
Answer:
Annual deposit= $6,952.82
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to have $1.5 million in real dollars in a retirement account when you retire in 40 years.
Inflation rate= 2.7%
Interest rate= 10%
First, we need to deduct from the interest rate the inflation rate.
Real interest rate= 0.10 - 0.027= 0.073
Now, using the following formula, we can determine the annual deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,500,000*0.073) / [(1.073^40)-1]
A= $6,952.82
After observing the heavy snow that his town received the previous winter, Ajay Patel, an enterprising student, plans to offer a show-clearing service in his neighborhood this winter. If he invests in a new heavy-duty blower. Ajay forecasts a profit of $700 if snowfall this winter is heavy, a profit of $200 if it is moderate and a loss of $900 if it is light. As per the current weather forecasts, the probabilities of heavy, moderate and light snowfall this winter are 0.4, 0.3 and 0.3 respectively.
Rather than purchase a new blower, Ajay could get his father's blower repaired and just accept smaller jobs. Under this option, Ajay estimates profit of $350 for a heavy snowfall, and a loss of $150 for a light snowfall. Ajay, of course has the option of choosing neither of these options.
The local weather Adams, is Ajay's good friend. For $50, she is willing to run sophisticated computer weather models on her computer and tell Ajay whether she expects this winter to be cold. For the sake of solving this problem, assume that the following information is available. There is a 45% chance that Samantha will predict this winter to be unseasonably cold. If she does say this, the probabilities of heavy, moderate, and light snowfall are revised to 0.7, 0.25, and 0.05, respectively. On the other hand, if she predicts that this winter will not be unseasonably cold, these probabilities aye revised to 0.15, 0.33, and 0.52, respectively.
Draw the decision tree for the situation faced by Ajay. Fold back the tree and determine the strategy you would recommend he follow. What is the efficiency of Samantha's information?
Also assume that a U.S. exporter denominates its Swiss exports in Swiss francs and expects to receive SF250,000 in 1 year. Using the information above, what will be the approximate value of these exports in 1 year in U.S. dollars given that the firm executes a forward hedge
Answer:
The question is missing some key features such the relevant forward rates which are found in the attached complete question:
The correct option is D,$ 255,750.00
Explanation:
The forward rate agreement stipulate that one Swiss Franc would be exchanged for $1.0230 in one year's time,if the forward rate agreement is settled for the value of SF 250,000 worth of export in a year' s time is calculated as below:
value of SF 250,000=250,000*$1.0230=$255,750.00
As a result, the correct options out of the multiple choices provided as found in the attached is option D with $ 255,750.00 as the worth of SF 250,000 using one year forward rate of $1.0230

The main cause of downsizing, refocusing, and outsourcing during the latter part of the 20th century was: Group of answer choices (a) Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet (b) A more turbulent business environment Both (a) and (b) Neither (a) nor (b)
Answer: Both (a) and (b)
Explanation:
Developments in IT—especially the advent of the internet
The latter 20th century saw many technological changes as the world evolved in IT. Markets that were not previously accessible became more accessible and many new products were created and flourished. The internet brought markets and people together and there was an immense opportunity for growth and success. This forced companies to adapt to the new environment because failure to take advantage on the new opportunities that IT offered could spell doom. Companies responded by downsizing to take advantage of better production technologies that required less people, they refocused their strategies to enable higher productivity and with IT making the world so interconnected, they were able to outsource production to cheaper places knowing that they could maintain regular contact with such place. These are but a few reasons why.
A more turbulent business environment.
The latter 20th century also saw a wave of turbulence in the business world. With a rise in nationalistic feelings and conflict that made acquiring raw materials harder such as the oil crises of the '70s and the 80s. This as well as the presence of more companies which led to increased competition forced some companies to engage in actions necessary for survival. They had to downsize, refocus and sometimes outsource to remain profitable.
Many large, packaged goods marketers like Procter & Gamble, Kraft, and Pillsbury have used the product manager (or brand manager) system of marketing organization and implementation. Which of the following is the key advantage of this system?
A. Product managers have relatively little authority
B. Product managers are short-term in their orientation
C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products
D. Product managers can assume profit-and-loss responsibility for the performance of the product line
E. Product managers have line responsibility over sales managers
Answer:
C. Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products
Explanation:
The position of Product manager is an all-encompassing role. He is tasked with the job of ensuring the members of the team are up and doing; he ensures each member of the team supplies considerable input to the end that the team effort can be evidently seen. The Product manager is also saddled with the responsibility of ensuring swift communication amidst all parties; he splits complex tasks into easily understandable processes. He sets the target and goal for each team member; he is the one who accesses and optimizes team members' performances.
Despite and inspite of these varying responsibilities, the biggest and most vital task of the Product manager is to research products, assess the market (customers), create services/products which are innovative and solve critical problems thereby, adding value to the customer base. The more information he has about the market and need of the customers, the better he is able to tailor the products and services rendered to address those needs. Overall, the Product manager due to his extensive involvement and oversight, he ensures that the chances of product failure is significantly reduced.
In the light of the explanation above, Option C. (Product managers have direct responsibility for research and development of new products) is the correct answer.
Light-emitting diode (LED) light bulbs have become required in recent years, but do they make financial sense? Suppose a typical 60-watt incandescent light bulb costs $.45 and lasts for 1,000 hours. A 7-watt LED, which provides the same light, costs $2.25 and lasts for 40,000 hours. A kilowatt-hour of electricity costs $.121, which is about the national average. A kilowatt-hour is 1,000 watts for 1 hour. However, electricity costs actually vary quite a bit depending on location and user type (you can get information on your rates from your local power company). An industrial user in West Virginia might pay $.04 per kilowatt-hour whereas a residential user in Hawaii might pay $.25. You require a 10 percent return and use a light fixture 500 hours per year. What is the break-even cost per kilowatt-hour?
Answer:
(A) For incandescent bulb, your break even cost is $32.67
(B) With LED bulb, your break even cost is $3.8115
Conclusion: It makes financial sense to use LED bulbs.
Explanation:
We start by checking the cost of your electricity bill when you use incandescent bulb and when you use LED bulb.
Since your answers are to be in kilowatt hour, we transform the watt measurement of the bulbs into kilowatt thus:
60watt incandescent bulb = 0.06kw
7watt led bulb = 0.007kw
National average cost of electricity per kilowatt hour is $1.21
Cost per kWh using incandescent bulb is 1.21 × 0.06 = $0.0726
Cost per kWh using led bulb is 1.21 × 0.007 = $0.00847
(A) WITH INCANDESCENT
0.06kw × 500hrs/year = 30kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 30 =$36.3
Your 10% return = $3.63
Break even cost per year, in kWh is = 36.3 - 3.63 = $32.67
(B) WITH LED
0.007kw × 500hrs/year = 3.5kwhrs/year
Cost of electricity bill = 1.21 × 3.5 = $4.235
Your 10% return = $0.4235
Break even cost per year in kWh is = 4.235 - 0.4235
(C) The incandescent bulb costs $0.45 but draws you a bill of $32.67 a year WHILE the led bulb costs $2.25 but draws you a bill of $3.8115
We conclude hence, that light-emitting diode bulbs make financial sense. Overlook the cost of purchasing the bulb because it uses less kilowatts per hour and draws you a very low bill, compared to the incandescent bulb!
A food truck operator originally produced hamburgers and hotdogs. To serve the tastes of their various customers, the hot dog vendor decides to start producing turkey dogs and ham sandwiches as well. Since the new products were introduced, average costs rose dramatically. The vendor is experiencing:________.
A. Economies of scope.
B. Diseconomies of scope.
C. Economies of scale.
D. Diseconomies of scale.
The correct answer is B. Diseconomies of scope
Explanation:
In businesses, diseconomies of scope occur when costs increase when two or more products are produced by the same business. This means it is cheaper and more efficient for a business to specialize in a few products rather than focusing on diverse products. This occurs in the case presented because the production of turkey dogs and ham sandwiches increased the costs, which shows it is more efficient for the business to specialize in a few products. Thus, this vendor is experiencing diseconomies of scope.

The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to occur. Give an example to show that these conditions are not sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur. When are these conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur
Explanation:
The conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur is when a deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.
Solution
Deadlock conditions
A deadlock is a situation where two or more processes request for same critical resource at the same time.
The mutual exclusion applies a restriction to a resource when the resource is used by any process, it should become unavailable for the other resources
The hold and wait allocations explains that any process which is allocate resources must hold them; till all needed resources are nor sure.
In the meantime, if any other processes need a resource which is held by another process, then the latter will release the resource to prevent deadlock.
No pre-emption states that the operating system can grant access to resources to another process while it is in use by another process; depending on the priority , to prevent deadlock.
Circular wait should not be implemented so that resources being requested by process are allocated when they get free.
Now,
Three processes A, B, and C functions on a system, having two distinct resources R and S.
The resource R has one instant active while resource S has two instances available.
The instance of R is allocated to a process A after request. first instance of resource S is allocated to process B, and second instance of resource S is allocated to process C.
When a request is placed by process B for resource R, then the resource is not available for execution. the process A request for resource S which is used by both C and B.
All the four conditions prevail in this situation; yet deadlock does not occur.
The resource S is released by process C and is allocated to process A. when process A finishes, it releases resources and resources R is allocate d to process B.
Hence all three processes end without a deadlock.
However, the deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.
Hahn Flooring Company uses a perpetual inventory system.
A. Sales returns of $97,650 and merchandise returns of $48,100 are estimated for the current year's sales.
B. The inventory account has a balance of $673,400, while physical inventory indicates that $663,800 of merchandise is on hand.
Journalize the December 31 adjusting entries based on the above transactions. Assume that the inventory shrinkage is a normal amount. Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles.
Answer and Explanation:
The adjusting journal entries are as follows
1. Sales $97,650
To Customer refunds payable $97,650
(Being the sales return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales as it reduced the sales and credited the customer refund payable as it increased the liabilities
2. Estimated Returns inventory $48,100
To Cost of goods sold $48,100
(Being the merchandise return is recorded)
For recording this we debited the estimated returns inventory and credited the cost of goods sold
3. Cost of goods sold $9,600
To Inventory $9,600
(Being the inventory shrinkage is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cost of goods sold as it increased the expenses and credited the inventory as it reduced the assets
The computation is shown below:
= Balance of inventory account - physical inventory merchandise on hand
= $673,400 - $663,800
= $9,600
Ivory Corporation, a calendar year, accrual method C corporation, has two cash method, calendar year shareholders who are unrelated to each other. Craig owns 35% of the stock, and Oscar owns the remaining 65%. During 2019, Ivory paid a salary of $100,000 to each shareholder. On December 31, 2019, Ivory accrued a bonus of $25,000 to each shareholder. Assuming that the bonuses are paid to the shareholders on February 1, 2020, compute Ivory Corporation's 2019 deduction for the above amounts.
Answer:
$225,000
Explanation:
Computation for Ivory Corporation's 2019 deduction for the above amounts.
In a situation where a Corporation uses the accrual method such Corporation cannot in any way claim a deduction for an accrual with respect to a related party reason been that the recipient have to reports the amount as income.
Therefore Ivory Corporation cannot deduct the $25,000 bonus which was attributable to Oscar because Oscar is the related party until the year 2018.
Ivory Corporation should go ahead and deduct in 2017 the salary payments which is been made to each shareholder plus the accrued bonus to Craig, or $225,000
Salary of $100,000 + Salary of $100,000 + $25,000 bonus
$225,000
g Lydia, a citizen of Italy, produces scarves and purses that she sells to department stores in the United States. Other things the same, these sales a. increase U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. b. decrease U.S. net exports and have no effect on Italian net exports. c. increase U.S. net exports and decrease Italian net exports. d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Answer:
d. decrease U.S. net exports and increase Italian net exports.
Explanation:
As it is given that
Lydia, who is a citizen of Italy produced scarves and purses in order to sell to the department stores in the united states keeping other things constant. So the sales would reflect an increased in the net exports of Italian as she is a producer and sell its products to the united states and at the same time it decreased or decline the net exports of united states
The net exports is
= Exports - imports
Hence, the correct option is d.
On May 31 of the current year, the assets and liabilities of Riser, Inc. are as follows: Cash $16,800; Accounts Receivable, $7,050; Supplies, $700; Equipment, $11,750; Accounts Payable, $9,000. What is the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year?
Answer:
$27,300
Explanation:
Riser Inc. had the following liabilities and assets on May 31 of the current year
Cash= $16,800
Account receivables= $7,050
Supplies= $700
Equipment= $11,750
Account payable= $9,000
Since Assets = Liabilities+ stockholder's equity
The stockholder's equity can be calculated as follows
Cash+Account receivables+Supplies+Equipment= Account payable+stockholder's equity
$16,800+$7,050+$700+$11,750=$9,000+stockholder's equity
$36,300=$9,000+stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity= $36,300-$9,000
Stockholder's equity= $27,300
Hence the amount of owner's equity as of May 31 of the current year is $27,300

Juanita is deciding whether to buy a skirt that she wants, as well as where to buy it. Three stores carry the same skirt, but it is more convenient for Juanita to get to some stores than others. For example, she can go to her local store, located 15 minutes away from where she works, and pay a marked-up price of $103 for the skirt:
Determining opportunity cost Juanita is decidin
Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Skirt
(Minutes) (Dollars per skirt)
Local Department Store 15 103
Across Town 30 89
Neighboring City 60 63
Juanita makes $16 an hour at work. She has to take time off work to purchase her skirt, so each hour away from work costs her $16 in lost income. Assume that returning to work takes Juanita the same amount of time as getting to a store and that it takes her 30 minutes to shop. As you answer the following questions, ignore the cost of gasoline and depreciation of her car when traveling.
Complete the following table by computing the opportunity cost of Juanita's time and the total cost of shopping at each location.

Assume that Juanita takes opportunity costs and the price of the skirt into consideration when she shops. Juanita will minimize the cost of the skirt if she buys it from the:_________.
Answer:
Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest.
Explanation:
three options:
local store 15 minutes away and a price of $103across town 30 minutes away and a price of $89neighboring city 1 hour away and a price of $63Juanita makes $16 per hour at her work, and her purchase decision includes the opportunity cost of lost wages:
total economic cost:
local store = $103 + [1/4 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $111across town = $89 + [1/2 hours x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $105neighboring city = $63 + [1 hour x 2 (round trip) x $16] = $95Juanita should purchase the skirt at the store across town because the total economic cost will be lowest ($105)
Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs incurred for choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. Economic costs include both accounting costs and opportunity costs.
Segment Contribution Margin Analysis The operating revenues of the three largest business segments for Time Warner, Inc., for a recent year follow. Each segment includes a number of businesses, examples of which are indicated in parentheses. Time Warner, Inc. Segment Revenues (in millions) Turner (cable networks and digital media) $75,100 Home Box Office (pay television) 43,200 Warner Bros. (films, television, and videos) 44,500 Assume that the variable costs as a percent of sales for each segment are as follows: Turner 27% Home Box Office 16% Warner Bros. 25% a. Determine the contribution margin and contribution margin ratio for each segment from the information given. When required, round to the nearest whole millionth (for example, round 5,688.7 to 5,689). Round contribution margin ratio to whole percents for each segment from the information given. Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros. Revenues $ $ $ Variable costs Contribution margin $ $ $ Contribution margin ratio (as a percent) % % % b. Does your answer to (a) mean that the other segments are more profitable businesses
Answer:
Time Warner, Inc.
a) Contribution Margin and Contribution Margin Ratio for each segment:
Turner Home Box Office Warner Bros.
Revenues $75,100 $43,200 $44,500
Variable costs 20,277 6,912 11,125 Contribution margin $54,823 $36,288 $33,375
Contribution margin ratio
(as a percent of Revenue) 73% 84% 75%
b) The answer in (a) does not mean that the two other segments are more profitable than Turner. The Contribution Margin Ratio is not enough to decide the profitability of each segment. It only shows the percentage of revenue that is left after deducting the variable costs. To determine profitability, fixed costs will be deducted from the contribution margin. Fixed costs refer to the periodic costs associated with running the different segments.
Explanation:
Segment Contribution Margin Analysis helps management to review the contributions made by each segment to the entity. It shows the difference between segmental revenues and segmental variable costs.
At the beginning of the year, Quaker Company's liabilities equal $78,000. During the year, assets increase by $60,000, and at year-end assets equal $190,000. Liabilities decrease $14,000 during the year. What are the beginning and ending amounts of equity?
Answer:
$52,000 and $126,000
Explanation:
The computation of the beginning and ending amount of equity is as follows
Particulars Assets (A) Liabilities (L) Equity (A - L)
Beginning $130,000 $78,000 $52,000
Add: increase or less decreased
Change $60,000 -$14,000
Ending $190,000 $64,000 $126,000
We simply applied the accounting equation to find out the beginning and ending amounts of equity
Sort the items below into two main categories: whether demand for each type of good is relatively elastic or relatively inelastic.
A. Goods that are narrowly defined.
B. Goods on which consumers spend a small share of their budget.
C. Consumers have a long time to adjust to a change in price.
D. Goods that have a large number of available substitutes.
E. Goods that are necessities.
Answer:
A. Relatively elastic
B. Relatively inelastic
C. Relatively elastic
D. Relatively elastic
E. Relatively inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in quantity demanded when the price of the good changes.
If Consumers have a long time to adjust to a change in price, demand is usually elastic because consumers would have enough time to adjust to price changes. For example, if the price of the good has increased and the consumer has enough time to adjust to the price change, the consumer would have enough time to find cheaper suitable substitutes.
The elasticity of demand for necessities is usually inelastic because consumers have no choice but to buy the product. For example, water is considered a necessity. If the price of a bottle of water increases, consumers have no choice but to consume water so they would keep buying the bottle of water despite the increase in price.
Goods that have many substitutes usually have an elastic demand because the good can be easily replaced with the numerous substitutes available.
Goods on which consumers spend a small share of their budget usually have an inelastic demand. For example, if you earn $500,000 and you usually buy a product for 10 cents and the price increases to 15 cents, you would probably not stop purchasing the product as a result of the price increase since it constitutes a negligible part of your budget.
Goods that are narrowly defined have an elastic demand. For example, there are many substitutes for bread but there are no subsituites for food.

Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40?
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Suppose the demand for Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) is given by Q = 250 - .25p + 4pc, where Q is the quantity of DVRs demanded (in 1000s), p is the price of a DVR, and pc is the price of cable television. How much does the quantity demanded for DVRs change if the p rises by $40? A) drops by 10,000 DVRs B) increases by 16,000 DVRs C) drops by 2,500 DVRs D) increases by 4,000
Answer:
Drops by 10,000 DVRs
Explanation:
The demand for digital video recorders is expressed by
Q= 250- .25p+4pc
Where
Q represents the quantity demanded by the customers
P represents the price of DVR
pc represents the price of cable television
Since the factor of p in the expression above is negative, this implies that the quantity of DVR demanded in the market will reduce
If the price of DVR increase by $40, then the quantity demanded will reduce by
= 0.25×40×1000
= 10×1000
= 10,000 units
Hence the quantity of DVRs drops by 10,000 DVRs if the price is increased to $40
Account A pays simple interest.
Future ValueA = Principal + Interest
= Principal + [(Principal x Interest Rate) x Investment Period]
= $2,000 + [($2,000 x 996) x 3 years]
Future Value of Account X Note: Account X pays compound interest.
Future Valuex = Present Value x Interest Rate Factor
= Present Valuex(1 +Interest Rate)n years
= $2,000 x (1 + 0.09)3
To find the interest rate factor, you can use three different ways, including multiplying it out:
Interest Factor(1 0.09) x (1 0.09) x (1 0.09)1.2950
Or using exponents and calculating it directly:
Interest Factor(10.09)31.2950

Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below: Claim Jumper Makeover Total Sales $ 104,000 $ 52,000 $ 156,000 Variable expenses 32,200 6,800 39,000 Contribution margin $ 71,800 $ 45,200 117,000 Fixed expenses 86,850 Net operating income $ 30,150 Required: 1. What is the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company
Answer:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
Claim Jumper= $104,000
Makeover= $52,000
Variable cost:
Clain Jumper= $32,200
Makeover= $6,800
First, we need to calculate the participation of the sales for each product:
Claim Jumper= 104,000/156,000= 0.67
Makeover= 52,000/156,000= 0.33
To calculate the weighted average contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average sales - weighted average variable cost)/ weighted average sales
weighted average sales= (0.67*104,000) + (0.33*52,000)
weighted average sales= 86,840
weighted average unitary variable cost= (0.67*32,200) + (0.33*6,800)
weighted average unitary variable cost= 23,818
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (86,840 - 23,818) / 86,840
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= 0.726

Urban Bloom, Inc.'s books show an ending cash balance of $16,000 before preparing the bank reconciliation. Given the bank reconciliation shows outstanding checks of $4,200, deposits in transit of $3,200, NSF check of $220, and interest earned on the bank account of $130, the company's up-to-date ending cash balance equals:
Answer:
$15,910
Explanation:
Calculation for Urban Bloom, Inc.'s company's up-to-date ending cash balance
Using this formula
Up-to-date ending cash balance = Ending cash balance per books + Interest received from bank - NSF check
Hence:
=16,000+130-220
=15,910
Therefore the company's up-to-date ending cash balance equals: $15,910
