Answer: decrease by $31,875
Explanation:
Net Operating income;
= Sales - variable cost - fixed cost
= (70 * 3,000) - ( 50 * 3,000) - 25,000
= $35,000
Sales volume decreases by 25%;
= 3,000 * ( 1 - 25%)
= 2,250 units
Variable cost per unit increases by 15%;
= 50 * ( 1 + 15%)
= $57.50
New Net Operating income;
= (70 * 2,250) - (57.50 * 2,250) - 25,000
= $3,125
Net Operating income change;
= 3,125 - 35,000
= -$31,875
Decrease by $31,875
Answer:
2.20
Explanation:
The Price elasticity will be:
Δdemand/ΔPrice
<u>The mid point is used to calculate the increases.</u>
Δdemand = ΔQ/midpointQ
(Q2+Q1)/2 = mid point quantity = (300+ 200)/2 = 250
ΔQ = 300-200 = 100
Δdemand = 100/250 = 0.4
<u>Same procedure is applied with the Price numbers:</u>
Δprice = ΔP/midpointP
(P2+P1)/2 = mid point price = (3+ 2.5)/2 = 2.75
ΔP = 2.5-3 = 0.5
Δprice = 0.5 / 2.75 = 0.181818
FInally we calculate the price elasticity:
Δdemand/ΔPrice
0.4/0.1818181818 = 2.2

Question:
Eagle Life Insurance Company pays its employees $.30 per mile for driving their personal automobiles to and from work. The company reimburses each employee who rides the bus $100 a month for the cost of a pass. Tom, in his Mazda 2-seat Roadster, collected $100 for his automobile mileage, and Mason received $100 as reimbursement for the cost of a bus pass.
a. What are the effects of the $100 reimbursement on Tom's and Mason's gross income?
b. Assume that Tom and Mason are in the 24% marginal tax bracket and the actual before-tax cost for Tom to drive to and from work is $0.30 per mile. What are Tom's and Mason's after-tax costs of commuting to and from work?
Explanation:
a.
For Tom:
He is required to include the $100 in gross income therefore, he would have to pay after-tax cost on the reimbursement.
For Mason:
He is not required to include the $100 in gross income due to qualified transportation fringe.
b.
For Tom:
Marginal tax = 24%
The after-tax cost of commuting = 0.24*$100 = $24
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
For Mason:
The after-tax cost of commuting = $0
The before-tax cost of commuting = $0 (since he was reimbursed)
Answer:
Straight line method rate = 1/ Number of years * 100 = 1/25*100 = 4%
Double declining balance depreciation = 2*Straight line method rate*Book value
First Year depreciation = 8%*$960,000
First Year depreciation = $76,800
Second year depreciation = 8% * (Book Value as on 1st year - First Year depreciation)
Second year depreciation = 8%*($960,000-$76,800)
Second year depreciation = 8%*$883,200
Second year depreciation = $70,656
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The year-end adjusting entry to record the cost side of sales returns and allowances will be:
Dr Inventory Return estimated $3200
Cr Cost of goods sold $3200
(To record expected coat of returns)
Note that the above calculation was done as:
= $64,000 × 5%
= $64,000 × 0.05
= $3200
