I would say this is an example of the succession in the capitalist system whereby in this case a family business encourages the son to study a related field so he can take over from the father when he retires to own and manage the business and usually the one who inherits the business works in it for a time to get familiar with it.
Answer:
$200,000
Explanation:
Here, in the solution the tax effects are ignored as tax rate is not provided.
Since accrual basis is the acceptable basis, we have:
All the revenues and expenses are to be recognised in the period it belongs to, and not when the actual cash payment is received or made.
Total revenue earned in 2015 = $400,000
Total expense (Wages of employees) for 2015 = $200,000
Therefore, net income for 2015 = $400,000 - $200,000 = $200,000
Note: It is of no relevance that when actual cash was realised from debtors and when actual payment was made to employees.
Answer:
The controllable variance for the month was $1,709 unfavorable
Explanation:
Controllable variance: The controllable variance show a difference between actual overhead expenses incurred and budgeting operating level based on direct labor hour.
In mathematically,
Controllable variance = Actual overhead expenses - budgeting operating level based on direct labor hour
where,
Actual overhead expenses = $11,227
And, budgeted operating level based on direct labor hour
= budgeted operating level × direct labor per hour
= 6,160 × $2.10
= $12,936
Now, put these values on the above formula:
So,
Controllable variance = $11,227 - $12,936 = $1,709 unfavorable
Hence, the controllable variance for the month was $1,709 unfavorable
Answer:
Inflation in 2012:
= 10%
Inflation in 2013:
= 9.09%
Inflation in 2014:
= 5%
Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation
Given that,
Nominal rate = 8%
Therefore,
Real interest rate is as follows:
2012:
= 8% - 10%
= -2%
2013:
= 8% - 9.09%
= -1.09%
2014:
= 8% - 5%
= 3%
$6000 at 8% grows to:
= 1000 × 1.08
= $6,480 in one year
which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years
which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years
so,
Total gain:
= 25.9712%
The price level increases in three years by:
= 26%
So,
Total real rate of return:
= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices
= 25.9712 - 26
= -0.0288%
