slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The ratio that is helpful in understanding whether the relationship between cash and marketable securities is reasonable in relation to current assets or total assets is;

Current assets/Total assets

Explanation:

Current assets represent a portion of the total assets that can be converted into cash or marketable securities quickly. A higher Current assets to total assets helps one to know the amount of the total assets that can be liquidated fairly quickly. The current assets should be able to be converted into cash or cash equivalents within a year to be deemed as a current asset. Examples of current assets are; cash, cash equivalents, stock inventories, market securities, accounts receivable, inventories and other liquid assets.

Current assets are the exact opposite of long-term assets, since the latter represents the portion of total assets that can not be easily converted in cash and cash equivalents within a year. They usually take a much longer time to convert into cash. They are; equipment, land and buildings.

The total assets include all the assets mentioned above. The summation of currents assets and long-term assets form the total assets.

Future Value= $156,901.16

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assume Coronado Industries deposits $98000 with First National Bank in an account earning interest at 8% per annum, compounded semi-annually.

To calculate the future value of this investment, we need to use the following formula:

FV=PV*(1+i)^n

PV= 98,000

i= 0.08/2= 0.04

n= 6*2= 12

FV= 98,000*(1.04^12)= $156,901.16

Big Money Monster

The spending variance for course supplies is:

$50 Unfavorable.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Fixed cost Variable cost Variable cost Total

per month per student per course

Faculty wages $4,000 $0 $20

Course supplies $1,000 $10 $50

Administrative expenses $2,000 $20 $30

Budgeted number of students = 300

Budgeted number of courses = 15

Actual number of students = 280

Actual number of courses = 18

Actual Faculty wages = $4,200

Actual Course supplies = $4,800

Budgeted Costs:

Fixed cost Variable cost Variable cost Total

per month per student per course

Faculty wages $4,000 $0 $20 $4,300

Course supplies $1,000 $10 $50 4,750

Administrative expenses $2,000 $20 $30 8,450

Budgeted costs:

Faculty wages = $4,000 + $0 + $20 * 15 = $4,300

Course supplies = $1,000 + $10 * 300 + $50 * 15 = $4,750

Administrative expenses = $2,000 + $20 * 300 + $30 * 15 = $8,450

Budgeted Cost of Course Supplies = $4,750

Actual Cost of Course Supplies = 4,800

Spending variance for Course Supplies = 50 Unfavorable
