Answer:

Explanation:

For a cost to be relevant it has to be futuristic and not past

A relevant cost can be said to be a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of a particular make or buy decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision.

A) The machinery used to produce the magnet was purchased five-years ago for $500,000.

<em>IRRELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the machine has already been bought.</em>

B) Four of the employees who produce magnets would be reassigned to the magnifying glass division.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the employees will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their salaries will be a cost to be borne when they employ new hands.</em>

<em />

C) The space now used to produce the magnets would be used to eliminate the need to rent warehouse space.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the space will be reassigned which implies that the cost of their rent will be a cost not to be saved.</em>

<em />

D) Sales volume (units) is estimated to drop by 50% once the competitor becomes fully operational.

<em>RELEVANT</em>

<em>A relevant cost is a cost or costs that will be incurred as a result of the decision, and which will change in the future as a result of that decision. In this case, the revenue will be reduced by 50% which implies that the inflow of sales will be half the original amount going forward. This is futuristic and hence relevant</em>

sammy [17]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

(a)

Journal entry to record the transaction is,

Particulars                                                                  Debit      Credit

Land and Building (460000 + 520000)                 $980,000

Cash Paid                                                                           $360,000

Mortgage Payable (980,000 - 360,000)                         $620,000

We assume that 4% interest is chargeable each semiannual payment and that each subsequent payment is charged 4% on the remaining amount of principal minus any preceding principal payments.

(b)

First installment = Principal + Interest payable

= 31,000 + (620,000 * 0.04) = $55,800

(c)

Second payment = 31,000 + [(620,000 - 31000) * 0.04] = $54,560

Since the chart of accounts is not provided you can confirm the the account headings.

Hope that helps.

Explanation:

Portfolio diversification is the process of holding different asset and security classes in order to minimise the non systemic risk of the portfolio

Correlation is a statistical measure used to measure the relationship that exists between two variables.

1. Positive correlation : it mean that the two variables move in the same direction. If one variable increases, the other variable also increases. It increases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a positive correlation between quantity supplied and price

When there is a positive correlation, the graph of the variables is upward sloping

2. Negative correlation :  it mean that the two variables move in different direction. If one variable increases, the other variable decreases. It decreases the risk of the portfolio

For example, there should be a negative correlation between quantity demanded and price

When there is a negative correlation, the graph of the variables is downward sloping

3. Zero correlation : there is no relationship between the variables. It decreases the risk of the portfolio
