To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.
x + 50 = (3/2)(x)
Simplifying the equation,
x + 50 = 3x/2
x - 3x/2 = -50
-x/2 = -50
Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100.
To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140
<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>
<u>Answer</u> is D. remain at $30,000.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Rick's Internet Corporation balance in retained earnings = $30,000
Appropriated earning for future business expansion = $15,000
This appropriated earning set for future use will have no effect on the total retained earnings, because for appropriate retained earnings, the entry is to debit the retained earnings account.
Also, it would be board's decision if they want to use the money from the retained earnings or add more capital to it.
Is this a theory type of question?
If it is and if it took place under president Calvin Coolidge then taxes likely would have gone up.
If you are talking about now, then investment might go up but in order to pay for it, the government will just print more money, so that taxes shouldn't go up.
I'd pick C.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, as long as Joe is able to recover the money that he has spent on advertising and still increase his profit, then he should advertise. In this scenario, he wants to spend a fixed $1000 monthly on ads. If these ads generate an increase monthly sales of $3,000 as expected, then this means that Joe's restaurant will increase their total profits by $2,000 after recovering what they spent on the ads. This is what ads are for.
