1 answer:

Profit maximization is usually a main aim of most businesses in the private sector.

1) Usually people invest personal savings into starting businesses so that the return (aka profits) can be greater than the investment and they can earn a better living.

2) If profit is earned then the business would have enough money to pay dividends to its investors/shareholders, otherwise it wouldn’t have enough money to give as dividends and it will lose its investors.

3) Profit is required for the business to survive in competitive markets.

It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Explanation:

A bank will often hold government securities as an asset. If a bank were to sell S500,000 in government securities to an individual who paid for the bond in cash and the bank placed this cash in its vault, by how much would the money supply change as a result - It would increase by $500,000 multiplied by the reciprocal of the required reserve ratio.

Answer:

Please see answers below

Explanation:

We know that ;

Beginning work WIP 10,000

Units started 170,000

a. Ending WIP 20,000

Material 100% complete = 20,000 EU

Conversion 100% complete = 8,000 EU

b. Units completed = 160,000

Units started and completed = 150,000

Beginning WIP costs;

Materials cost $8,500

Conversion cost $4,900

Costs added during the period;

Materials cost $139,400

Conversion cost $244,200

Equivalent units for July;

EU for materials = 170,000

EU for conversion = 7,000 + 150,000 + 8,000 = 165,000

Costs per EU:

Materials = $139,400 / 170,000 = $0.82 per EU

Conversion = $244,200 / 165,000 = $1.48 per EU

c. Total costs;

Ending WIP = [20,000 × $0.82] + [8,000 × $1.48] = $28,240

Units transferred out = [$383,600 - $28,240] + $8,500 + $4,900 = $368,760

d. Therefore,

Costs to be accounted for ;

Beginning work in process $13,400

Cost added $383,600

Total costs to be accounted for $397,000

Also,

Costs account ted for are as follow

Units transferred out $368,760

Ending WIP $28,240

Total costs accounted for $397,000
