False, because there’s lots that r like that
Answer:
a)
revenue = x amount of phones x price
revenue = x(500 - 0.5x)
revenue = 500x - 0.5x²
we find revenue' (derivative):
revenue' = 500 - x
x = 500
the company should sell 500 smartphones to maximize revenue, the selling price = 500 - (0.5 x 500) = $250 per smartphone. Maximum weekly revenue = $250 x 500 = $125,000
b)
profit = revenue - cost
profit = 500x - 0.5x² - 20,000 - 135x
profit = -0.5x² + 365x - 20,000
we must find profit' (derivative):
profit' = -x + 365
x = 365
In order to maximize profits, you have to sell 365 smartphones per week. Maximum weekly profit = -0.5(365²) + 365(365) - 20,000 = -66,612.50 + 133,225 - 20,000 = $46,612.50.
The smartphone's price = 500 - (0.5 x 365) = $317.50
Answer:
Beta Corp.
A. Arnold = Agent (Arnold exercises significant power on behalf of the Beta's Board of Directors).
B. Carol = Agent-Employee (Carol does not exercise significant power on behalf of the principal (the Board of Directors of Beta). Instead, she is subject to Beta's control)
C. Dave = Agent-Employee, just like Carol. He is a mere employee subject to Beta's control.
D. Fred = Independent Contractor because he controls and directs the result of his work, though he does not decide the work or how it should be done.
Explanation:
Principal = a person who assigns the agent to act on her behalf.
Agent = a person who the principal authorizes to exercise significant power on her behalf.
Agent-employee = an employee of a company. The employee does not exercise the right of control and direction of the results of her work.
Independent contractor = a person who exercises the right of control and direction for work result, and not how and what is done.
Answer:
The answer is : to Update the balance of Retained Earnings and prepare revenue, expense, and dividend accounts for next period's transactions
Explanation:
The closing entries is to set the accounts' balance of temporary account to zero by transferring these balance to other permanent accounts at the end of the accounting cycles.
Temporary accounts includes accounts of revenues and expenses and dividend payment. Permanent account is Retained Earnings.
As Revenues and expenses are recorded for an accounting period, their balances should be all transferred to Retained Earnings account, together with the dividend payment during the period, to determined the ending balance of Retained Earning account at the end of the accounting period.
Once the closing entries has been recorded, the balance of all revenues and expenses, dividend payments accounts will be set back to zero at the start of next account period for recording revenue and expenses taken place in that period only. While Retained Earning Balance will show how much accumulated Earnings a firm retained since the start of its business.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The weighted average contribution margin is calculated by multiplying individual contribution margin with respective size pizzas (i.e number of units sold) then total contribution margin (i.e of both medium and large size) is divided upon total number of units sold, see as follows:
According to Buttercrust Pizza company's sales data medium pizzas sold are twice the number of large pizzas. Now here we have to take an assumption since we aren't given actual sales units. Keeping in mind the sales data we can assume that 100 units of medium pizzas and 50 units of large pizzas are sold during the period.
Contribution margin of medium pizza: (CM× units of medium size pizzas)
Contribution margin of large pizza: (CM× units of large size pizzas)
Contribution margin of medium pizza: $10× 100 = $1000
Contribution margin of large pizza: $22× 50 = $1100
Total contribution (of both pizza sizes) = $2100
Total sales units (of both pizza sizes) = 150
The weighted average contribution margin is calculated as follows:
WACM= $2100÷ 150
WACM= $14
(Disclaimer: the solution of this question has been concluded using self-induced assumptions.)
