Answer:

D

                                          A             B             C

Contribution per unit      20          30           40

Machine hours per unit  2.5          3.25       4.5

Contribution per hour     8             9.23       8.89

Product B has the highest contribution per hour .

It is stated that the capacity is constrained by the number of hours the machine can run during a period . and all products produce will be sold. This has made the machine hour the determinant factor in the situation.

Therefore product B should be emphasized if the goal is to maximize contribution margin.

Read the following except from a warranty. What time period is this warranty for? "This warranty is given by XYZ motors. The Zoo
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The warranty period is for three years.

Explanation:

A warranty is a promise a buyer receives from the seller that the latter will repair or replace the product should it develop defects within a stated period. Warranties are granted with specific conditions. The universal condition is that the defects in the product are a result of the manufacturing process and not the buyers' misuse. The defect must occur within a stated period.

In the case of XYZ, the stated period is three years. However, the seller has introduced another condition of "or 30,000 miles whichever comes first." For business reasons, and from market experience, the seller expects that XYZ will use the vehicle at an average rate of 10,000 miles per year. At this rate, the warranty will last for three years. Should the buyer use the vehicle at a faster rate than this, the 30,000 miles will be exhausted earlier, which will bring the warranty to an end. If XYZ uses the vehicle at a slower or the expected rate, the warranty will last for three years.

A matrix organizational structure is a work arrangement in which employees report to two or more supervisors rather than one line manager overseeing every project aspect.

For example, an employee may have a direct manager they report to, plus one or more project managers they operate under.

The matrix organizational structure is useful when sharing skills across departments is necessary to complete a project.

Answer: The cases in which the Review Commission renders decisions arise from inspections conducted by a Federal agency separate from the Review Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which is a part of the Department of Labor. OSHRC, or the Review Commission, and OSHA were created by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, but the Act mandated that the Review Commission be an independent agency (i.e., not part of another Federal department) to ensure that parties to agency cases receive impartial hearings.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Explanation:

Lees notes:

Dec. 13 Accepted a $9,500, 45-day, 8% note dated December 13 in granting Miranda Lee a time extension on her past-due account receivable.

First interest due = $9,500 x 8% x 45/360 = $95

On the 31st 18 days would have accrued of the 45days = 18/45 x $95 = $38

On Dec 31, 2012 Lee's liability would be $9,500 (principal amount) and $38 (accrued interest)

Debit Miranda Lee with $9,538

Credit interest on Receivables $38

Credit Account receivables account with $9,500

When the full interest became due we will pass an additional entry:

Dr. Lee with $58

Cr. Interest on receivables with $58

(Being the balance interest on receivables due )

On Jan 27 when Lee paid her interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Account receivables with $9,500

Debit interest on receivables Account with $95

Credit Tomas account with $9,595

( being liquidation of Lee's indebtedness)

Tomas notes:

Mar 3, Accepted a $5,000, 10%, 90-day note dated March 3 in granting a time extension on the past-due account receivable of Tomas Company.

Let's recognize the full interest due first:

$5,000 x 10% x 90/360 = $125

At this time we will:

Debit Tomas with $5,125

Credit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Account Receivables account with $5,000

On June 1 when Tomas paid his interest and principal amount, we will:

Debit Accounts receivable with $5,000

Debit interest on receivables with $125

Credit Tomas account with $5,125

( being liquidation of Tomas indebtedness)

Hiroshi Cheng notes:

Accepted a $2,000, 30-day, 9% note dated March 17 in granting Hiroshi Cheng a time extension on his past-due account receivable.

Interest = $2,000 x 9% x 30/360 = $15

The entries recognizing this liability will be to :

Debit Cheng Account with $2,015

Credit interest on receivables with $15

Credit Accounts receivable with $2,000

(Being receivables payable balance and interest on balance owed by Cheng)

However Cheng failed in paying up. It was decided to write off the debt.

The entries would be:

Dr. Accounts receivables $2,000

Dr. Interest on Accounts receivables with $15

Cr. Cheng's Account with $2,015

(Being debt owed by Cheng written off)
