Answer:
B - $13,556.82
Explanation:
Amount to be invested is equal to the present value of future inflows
Present value = future value/(1+Interest rate)^Number of years
The actual amount at the end of the first year should be $3000 if there is an answer in the options
The amount at the end of the second year is $4000
The amount at the end of the third, fourth and fifth year is $5000
Hence, amount to be invested = 3000/(1.17) + 4000/(1.17)^2 + 5000/(1.17)^3 + 5000/(1.17)^4 + 5000/(1.17)^5
= $13,556.82
Hence, the answer is $13,556.82
Answer:
Break-even point in dollars= $36,364
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A firm is selling two products, chairs and bar stools, each at $50 per unit. Chairs have a variable cost of $25, and bar stools $20. The fixed cost for the firm is $20,000.
To calculate the break-even point in dollars for the firm, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / [(weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)/ weighted average selling price]
weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)= $50
weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)
weighted average variable cost= (25*0.5 + 20*0.50)= $22.5
Break-even point in dollars= 20,000/ [(50 - 22.5)/ 50]= $36,364
Answer:
Correct option is (a)
Explanation:
Adjusting journal entries are passed before financial statements are prepared to so as to confirm if revenue recognition and matching principles are complied with. Adjusting entries are required to be passed if transactions is spread over multiple financial periods. For example, adjusting entry is passed if goods are received this year but payment will be made next year.
Before income statement and balance sheet is prepared, these entries are passed. Thereafter, adjusting trial balance is prepared and finally financial statements are prepared.
Answer: c. $1,650 unfavorable
Explanation:
The direct labor rate variance shows the difference between the cost of direct labor that the company thought it would incur vs what it actually incurs for the period.
Formula is:
Direct labor rate variance = Actual cost of direct labor - Standard cost of actual hours of direct labor
= Actual hours * (Actual cost - Standard cost)
= 5,500 * (24 - 23.70)
= $1,650 unfavorable
Unfavorable because the actual cost incurred was more than the cost anticipated.
The number of each type of book is what is unknown, so we can represent those quantities with variables. Let x = the number of hardbacks and y = the number of paperbacks. Then we know that: x + y = 65 (the total number of books sold) We also know the total cost of both editions, which is $1356. It can be written algebraically as: 28x + 12y = 1356 We now have a system of two equations, which can be solved by substitution. It would be easier to solve the first equation for either x or y and substitute that into the second equation.
