To answer this item, we let x be the current number of chairs. After adding 50 chairs to the current inventory, the total number of chairs would then be equal to x + 50. The equation that would allow us to determine the value of x is written below.

     x + 50 = (3/2)(x)

Simplifying the equation,
   x + 50 = 3x/2
  x - 3x/2 = -50
   -x/2 = -50

Dividing both sides of the equation by -1/2, the value of x is equal to 100. 

To increase the inventory by 40%, the equation would be,
    y = x(1.4) = 1.4(100) = 140

<em>ANSWER: 140 chairs</em>

Flitter reported net income of $25,500 for the past year. at the beginning of the year the company had $216,000 in assets and $6
Brut [27]

Answer:

There are two ways in which Return on Assets can be calculated depending on whether we consider Total assets at year-end or average total assets.

Return on Assets = \frac{Net Income}{Total Assets at year end}   1

                                                          or

Return on Assets = \frac{Net Income}{Average Assets}       2

Substituting the values in equation 1 we get,

Return on Assets = \frac{25500}{316000}

Return on Assets = \frac{25500}{316000}

Return on Assets = 0.080696203  or 8.07%

Substituting values in equation 2 we get,

Return on Assets = \frac{Net Income}{Average Assets}

Return on Assets = \frac{Net Income}{\frac{Assets at beginning + Assets at year end}{2}}

Return on Assets = \frac{25500}{\frac{216000 + 316000}{2}}

Return on Assets = \frac{25500}{266000}

Return on Assets = 0.095864662 or 9.58%

Mrs. Beld sold marketable securities with a $79,600 tax basis to her daughter for $60,000 cash. Two years later, the daughter so
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

$13,400

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Tax basis of marketable securities = $79,600

Amount for which securities sold to daughter = $60,000

Amount for which daughter sold the  securities = $93,000

Now,

Mrs. Beld disallowed loss on the related party sale to her daughter

= Tax basis of marketable securities - Amount for which securities sold to daughter

= $79,600 - $60,000

= $19,600

Realized gain by her daughter = $93,000 - $60,000

= $33,000

Therefore,

The daughter's gain recognized on sale

= Realized gain by her daughter - Mrs. Beld disallowed loss

= $33,000 - $19,600

= $13,400

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Accounts receivable turnover = 11.58

Explanation:

The total sales of the company = $980000

Net sales of the company = $955800

Average account receivable =  $82500

We have total sales, net sales, and average accounts receivable. Here, we are required to find the account turnover.

Use the below formula to find the account turnover:

Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales  / average accounts receivable

Now insert the values:

Accounts receivable turnover = 955800 / 82500 = 11.58

The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

-1.33

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.

Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y

Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%

Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%

25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33
