Based on the ending balance on salaries payable in 2019, and the salaries expense, the salaries payable at December 2018 must have been $30 MILLION.

<h3>What was the Salaries payable balance?</h3>

This can be found by the formula:

= Ending salaries in 2019 - Salaries expense in 2019 + Salaries paid in 2019

Solving gives:

= 20 million  - 90 million  + 100 million

= $30 million

In conclusion, the ending salaries payable in 2018  was $30 million.

The Besnier Company had $250 million of sales last year, and it had $75 million of fixed assets that were being operated at 80%
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$312.5 million

Explanation:

Given that,

Besnier Company's sales last year = $250 million

Fixed assets last year = $75 million

Previous operating capacity of fixed assets = 80%

Sales at full capacity:

= Previous sales ÷ Previous Capacity

= $250 million ÷ 80%

= $312.5 million

Therefore, if the company had operated at full capacity then the sales could have been $312.5 million.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

$22 per pound

The computation of the differential revenue of producing and selling Product C is shown below:

= Sale value per pound of product C - Sale value per pound of product B

= $82 per pound - $60 per pound

A buyer values a house at $525,000 and a seller values the same house at $485,000. If sales tax is 8% and is levied on the selle
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$523,800

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Cost price by buyer = $525000

Selling price by seller = $485000

Sales tax = 8%

Unknown:

The lowest selling price by the seller = ?

Solution:

To solve this business problem, we must understand that the price the seller would be will to part with will be his selling price and the percentage of sales tax incurred in the procurement.

This will be the minimum and least profitable estimated amount the seller is willing to sell at.

   Lowest selling price = selling price by seller + amount of sales tax incurred

Sales tax amount = selling price x sales tax percentage

                             = $485000 x \frac{8}{100}

                              = $38800

Lowest selling price = $485000 + $38800 = $523,800
