Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

We assume that

X = No. of children

Y  = Standard type

Z = Executive type

So,

5x + 4y + 7z = 185.........(1)

3x + 2y + 5z = 115.........(2)

2x + 2y + 4z = 94

x + y + 2z = 47.........(3)

Equation (2) multiply by 2

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

From equation (1) to (2)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

6x + 4y + 10z = 230

-x + 0 - 3z = -45

x + 3z = 45.......(4)

Equation (3) multiply by 4

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

From equation (1) to (3)

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

4x + 4y + 8z = 188

x + 0 - z = -3

- x + z = 3……(5)

From equation (5) to (4)

x + 3z = 45

-x + z = 3

4z = 48

Executive type = Z = 48 ÷ 4 = 12

Z = 12 in equation (5)

-x + 12 = 3

x = 9 (children type)

x=9, z=12 in equation 1

5x + 4y + 7z = 185

5 × 9 + 4 × y + 7 × 12=185

45 + 4 × y + 84 = 185

4y = 56 ÷ 4

Y= 14(Standard type)

Suppose the gdp is in equilibrium at full employment and the mpc is .80. if government wants to increase its purchase of goods a
melamori03 [73]

<span>The marginal propensity to consume is a metric that quantifies the concept of increase in consumption with an increase in income. Mathematically MPC is defined as:</span>

MPC = Change in consumption / Change in income

Purchase of goods and services is considered as consumption, therefore:

Change in consumption = $16 billion

In the government’s perspective, taxes are considered as income, therefore the problem ask us to find for the necessary change in tax collection to maintain equilibrium GDP. Substituting the values in the formula:

0.80 = $16 billion / Change in income

Change in income = $20 billion

<span>Therefore the government should increase the tax collection by $20 billion.</span>

Gonzalez Company has been in business for several years. At the end of the current year, the ledger shows:
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

Explanation:

The question states that bad debts are expected to be 5% of the accounts receivables. This means that it is: $327,400 x 5% = $16,370.

An account for allowance for doubtful debts is a contra account created, predicting that certain debtors will not be able to pay for the goods and services they purchased. The 5% may be based on historical experiences. Doubtful debts aren’t officially uncollectible, it is simply a prediction, but bad debts are, where you have officially written off a certain accounts receivable as uncollectible.

An allowance for doubtful debts is recorded in the balance sheet, directly under accounts receivables. Bad debts are recorded as an expense in the income statement.

The initial entry for allowance for doubtful debts is incorrect, hence it would have to be corrected before the new amount can be recorded. Correction:

Debit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $7900

Credit : Bad debts = $7900

The accounts will be cancelled off and the new entry can be recorded...

Debit : Bad Debts = $16,370

Credit : Allowance for doubtful debts = $16,370

When the amount is officially declared uncollectible, the allowance for doubtful debts account will be debited and the accounts receivables account will be credited.

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The actual quantity of direct materials purchased 20,000 pounds.

standard price of direct materials $ 7.00 per pound.

Material price variance $ 5,000 Unfavorable.

Material quantity variance S 2,500 Favorable.

Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

-5,000= (7 - AP)*20,000

5,000= 140,000 - 20,000AP

20,000= 145,000AP

Actual price= 7.25

In April of the current year, Steelman Press Company transferred Ken Sherm from its factory in Louisiana to its plant in Florida
Verdich [7]

Answer:

A) $158.40

B) $77.90

C) $42

Explanation:

The question is to determine the tax figures for both the State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA) for Louisiana and Florida and the net Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) on Sherm's wages.

A) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Louisiana on Sherm's wages

Out of the $14,190 wages of Sherm for the year, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana

Meaning the State SUTA tax in Louisiana = $4,950 x the tax rate for SUTA in Louisiana = 3.2%

= $4,950 x 3.2% = $158.40

B) Amount of SUTA tax the company must pay to Florida on Sherm's wages

Out of $14,190, $4,950 was paid in Louisiana meaning (14,190 - 4,950) = 9,240 was paid in Florida

However, the taxable wage limit is $7,000

threefore, SUTA in Florida = ($7,000-$4950 x 3.8%

= $77.90

C) Amount of the net FUTA tax on Sherm's wages

Using the same taxable wage limit of $7,000

FUTA tax = $7,000 x 0.6% = $42

Explanation:

a. At a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the average total cost of production is<u> </u><em><u>falling </u></em>and the marginal cost of cheeseburger production is <em><u>rising</u></em>.

From the table in the question, it can be observed that the average total cost of production at a quantity of 30 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the average total cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, while the average total cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the average total cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the average total cost of production is<u> falling.</u>

Also from the table in the question, it can be observed that the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 30 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, while the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the marginal cost of production at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 40 cheeseburgers per hour, the marginal cost of production is<u> rising.</u>

b. At a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, the average variable cost of production is <u> </u><em><u> rising</u></em><u> </u> and the average total cost of cheeseburger production is <em><u>at a minimum</u></em>.

From the table in the question, it can be observed that the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 50 cheeseburgers per hour is lower than the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, while the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 70 cheeseburgers per hour is higher than the average variable cost of production at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour. This implies that at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour, the average variable cost of production is<u> rising.</u>

Also from the table in the question, it can be observed that the average total cost of cheeseburger production at quantities of 50 and 60 cheeseburgers per hour are equal and the lowest on the table, this implies that the average total cost of cheeseburger production is <u>at a minimum</u> at a quantity of 60 cheeseburgers per hour.
