BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$3,400

Salaries earned but unpaid= 4 working days * $850 per day = $3,400

Hence, salaries earned but unpaid at the end of the account period is $3,400

The Oriole Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $100 a night. Operating costs are as follows:

Salaries $7,500 per month

Utilities $1,500 per month

Depreciation $1,300 per month

Maintenance $1,760 per month

Maid service $24 per room

Other costs $46 per room

<u>First, we need to calculate the total fixed costs and the unitary variable cost.</u>

Total fixed costs= salaries + utilities + depreciation + maintenance

Total fixed costs= $12,060

Unitary variable cost= 24 + 46= $70

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 12,060/ (100 - 70)

Break-even point in units= 402 rooms a month

Able Trucking Corporation files a suit in a state court against Bob’s Service Company (BSC), and wins. BSC appeals the court’s d
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

An appellate court will reverse a lower court’s decision on the basis of the facts only

when the finding is clearly erroneous (that is, when it is contrary to the evidence

presented at trial) or when there is no evidence to support the finding. Appellate courts

normally defer to a trial court’s decision with regard to the facts of a case, however, for

several reasons. First, trial court judges and juries have the opportunity to observe

witnesses and tangible evidence first hand. The appellate court sees only a cold record of

the trial court proceedings and therefore cannot make the kind of judgments about the

credibility of witnesses and the persuasiveness of evidence that can be gleaned only from

firsthand experience. Second, as occurs when there is no jury and the case is heard by a

judge, trial judges routinely sit as fact finders. As a result, they develop a particular

expertise in determining what kind of evidence and testimony is reliable and what kind is not
