Answer:

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Explanation:

Retained earnings at the end = Retained earning at the beginning + Net income - Dividend paid

The net income would increase the balance of the retained earnings hence it is added to it.

The Dividend paid would be a cash outflow which would reduce the balance of the retained earnings, hence it is deducted from it.

So applying this to the question, we have

Retained earning balance at the end would be:

25,000 + 200,000 - 20,000 = $205,000

Retained earning balance at the end would be = $205,000

Parsley, a world-famous chef, signs a contract to give lessons in French cooking to Curry. Parsley wants to transfer his duties
Margarita [4]

Answer:

C. <u>not valid because performance depends on Parsley's personal skills</u>

Explanation:

A valid contract refers to an agreement entered into by parties which legally binds both parties and is enforceable under the law.

For a contract to be termed as valid, it must be performed by the parties to it.

Performance clause in a valid contract refers to doing or acting in a way as is required by the terms of the contract.

In the given case, Parsley signed a contract to provide services i.e provide French cooking lessons to Curry. Later, Parsley wants to transfer his duties to Relish.

The transfer will not be valid since the performance i.e service to be provided by Parsley are of personal nature and the consideration is based upon that. No two individuals can provide exact services.

ABC, a chain of candy stores, purchases its candy in bulk from its suppliers. For a recent shipment, the company paid $1,500 and
spin [16.1K]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount paid for candy = $1,500

Items received = 8,500 pieces of candy

Group 1 =  2,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.15 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 2,500 ×  $0.15 each

                 = $375

Group 2 = 5,500 pieces

Selling price = $0.36 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 5,500 ×  $0.36 each

                 = $1,980

Group 3 = 500 pieces

Selling price = $0.72 each

sale value = pieces sold × Selling price

                 = 500 ×  $0.72 each

                 = $360

Total sale value = $375 + $1,980 + $360

                           = $2,715

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{Sale\ value}{Total\ sale\ value}\times 100

Percentage\ of\ sale\ in\ Group\ 2=\frac{1,980}{2,715}\times 100

= 72.92%

Proportion of cost for Group 2 = cost × Percentage of sale in Group 2

                                                   = $1,500 × 72.92%

                                                   = $1,093.8

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{cost}{total\ units}

cost\ per\ unit= \frac{1,093.8}{5,500}

= $0.1988

= $0.20(approx)
