Variable cost of making                                10

Variable cost buying                                      <u>14</u>

Savings in  cost per from making                 4

Total cost savings (decrease)    4 × 33,168 = $132,672

Mary traded furniture used in her business to a furniture dealer for some new furniture. Mary originally purchased the furniture
likoan [24]

Answer:

$24,000

Explanation:

From the time an asset is acquired until the time it is sold, an asset experiences a number of events which causes an increase or decrease of its total value. Th adjusted basis of a given asset, takes the base price of an asset and adjusts it for changes in value reflecting enhancements and or depreciation. For instance, a given asset purchased for $100, depreciates by $10 and has an improvement of $60 would have an adjusted basis of $100 - $10 + $60 = $150.

Now when Mary bought her furniture, the adjusted basis was $20,000. At the time of exchange, the fair market value of the furniture is $4,000 whereas Mary also gave $4,000 to the dealer in the transaction. This $4,000 changes the value ans is added to the previous adjusted basis of $20,000.

Mary's adjusted basis in the new furniture after the exchange is:

= $4,000 + $20,000

= $24,000

The company is in the process of preparing a cash budget and must determine the expected cash collections by month. To this end,
nydimaria [60]

Answer: $186,000

Explanation:

January is the 2nd month from November which means that all of November's $31,000 will be collected in January.

January is the first month after December so 30% of December sales should be collected in January. 50% has already been collected in December and this left $50,000.

Total credit sales in December must have been:

= 50,000 / 50%

= $100,000

Amount to be collected in January for December:

= 100,000 * 30%

= $30,000

Amount to be collected from January credit sales:

= 50% * 150,000

= $75,000

January cash sales = $50,000

Total cash in January :

= 31,000 + 30,000 + 75,000 + 50,000

= $186,000
