Answer:
Stockholders' equity changed by $9,000 from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Explanation:
Stockholders Equity at beginning of the year = Total Asset - Total Liabilities
Stockholders Equity at beginning of the year = $20,000 - $5,000
Stockholders Equity at beginning of the year = $15,000
Stockholders Equity at Ending of the year = Stockholders Equity at beginning of the year + Revenue for the year - Expenses for the year + New stock issuance
Stockholders Equity at Ending of the year = $15,000 + $16,000 - $10,000 + $3,000
Stockholders Equity at Ending of the year = $24,000
Change in Equity = $24,000 - $15,000 = $9,000
Answer:
Debit Interest Expense and Credit Long-term Debt Expense.
Explanation:
When Price is acquiring the Duchess Incorporation, it is agreeing upon everything that the Duchess is liable to pay and and receive from any other party. Duchess has a long term debt with a fair value of $1500000, which needs to be paid by the acquiring company now i.e. Prince. Hence, the interest expense would be paid and the long-term debt expense would be decreased by the same amount.
Therefore, for that the entries would be as follows:
Debit Credit
Interest Expense $xxx
Long-term debt expense $xxx
Answer:
a. increase the price of the software
Explanation:
If I were the sales manager for a software company and have been informed that the price elasticity of demand for your most popular software is less than 1. In order to increase total revenues from that product, I will increase the price of the software.
The reason for such decision is based on the fact that when the price elasticity of demand of a product is lower than 1, an increase in the price of that product results in an increase in revenue for the seller.
Answer:
Use more labor and fewer capital.
Explanation:
Given that,
For producing 10,000 gadgets,
Labor hours use = 80
Capital = 6 units
Marginal product of labor = 4 gadgets per hour
Marginal product of capital = 20 gadgets per unit
Cost of each unit of labor = $8 per hour
Cost of each unit of capital = $50 per unit
Therefore,
Marginal product per dollar for labor is as follows:
= 0.5
Marginal product per dollar for capital is as follows:
= 0.4
Hence, the marginal product per dollar for labor is greater than the marginal product per dollar for capital, which means that the firm should use more labor and fewer capital.
Answer:
a. What is the MRP?
marginal revenue product = marginal product of labor x marginal revenue per output unit
MRP = 1,500 packages x $0.10 per package = $150
marginal resource cost (MRC) = $100 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should add the delivery truck because MRP is higher than MRC.
b. Now suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle doubles to $200 per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = $150 (doesn't change from question a)
MRC = $200 (the cost of renting the delivery truck)
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
c. Next suppose that the cost of renting a vehicle falls back down to $100 per day, but, due to extremely congested freeways, an additional vehicle would only be able to deliver 750 packages per day. What are the MRP and MRC in this situation?
MRP = 750 packages x $0.10 per package = $75
MRC = $100
The company should not add the delivery truck because MRP is less than MRC.
