We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

Shelly has $200,000 of QBI from her local jewelry store (a sole proprietorship). Shelly's proprietorship paid $30,000 in W–2 wag
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Qualified Business Income (QBI) Deduction:

With respect to the applicable provisions, the following are the provisions relating to QBI deduction:

(a) For Joint filers, if the taxable income is less than $315,000, the QBI deduction is limited to 20% of the qualified business income.

(b) The qualified business income includes the interest income not allocable to the business.

In the present case, the interest amount of $20,000 will not be considered for the calculation of QBI deduction (refer point (b) above).

Therefore, the total taxable income of S and her spouse will be $274,400 ($200,000 + $74,400) which was below the threshold limit of $315,000. Hence, they can claim the QBI deduction of 20% on the qualified business income of $200,000. The QBI deduction for 2018 is calculated as under:

QBI Deduction for 2018 = QBI x 20%

= $200,000 x 20%

= $40,000

Therefore, the QBI deduction for 2018 is $40,000.

Note: If the total taxable income exceeds the threshold limit of $315,000 for QBI deduction, the value of W-2 wages and qualified property would have been considered.

True or false: When a capital investment decision is being made between two or more alternatives, the project with the shortest
Flura [38]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The payback period refers to the specific period of time that it is required to recover the amount invested and it is an important factor to take into account but the project with the shortest payback period is not necessarily the most desirable investment because other factors are also considered, for example, the expected profit and the conditions in the environment that may affect the assumptions made. Because of that, the answer is that the statement is false.

Sawaya Co., Ltd, of Japan, is a manufacturing company whose total factory overhead costs fluctuate considerably from year to yea
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Indirect Material variable cost Per Direct Labor HR 5000000/50000=100

Indirect Material (variable) 100*75000 =7500000

Rent Fixed 6000000

Hence total Maintenace Fixed =17625000-7500000-600000= 4125000

2.

                   Low            High      Change

Cost 3250000 4125000 875000 [4125000-3250000]

Activities 50000          75000   25000

variable Portion of Maitencance cost =875000/25000= 35.00

Fixed cost=4125000-75000*35=1500000

Variable cost=35

cost formula for maintenance= 1500000+35b

3.

Indirect Material (variable) 100*70000 = 7000000

Rent Fixed                      6000000

Maintenance cost = 1500000+35*70000=3950000

Consider consecutive processes A-B-C, where process A has a capacity of 20 units per hour, process B has a capacity of 25 units
g100num [7]

Answer:

The operation manager would want the inventory in front of process A based on the lean system.

Explanation:

To fully understand the basis on which we chose the answer, we need to define what a lean system is.

A Lean system refers to a business process plan. More a of business model canvass that meticulously deal with business process plan and development for the purpose of achieving maximum value in production, client and customer satisfaction while still at a reduced cost of running business.  It should also be noted that the lean system is mostly a continuum of existing process and subsequent process progress are mostly determined by the level of integrity attained by the primary design stage.

With the understanding gotten from the definition above, it then obvious from the narrative of the question that the process is consecutive. As such, follows a pattern of A to B to C and thus the level of integrity of process design achieved at A will be passed down to B and C.

This is the more reason why the operation manager will prefer to to want an inventory at A which is the primary point of start.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

3.12%

Explanation:

We use formula in excel to calculate annual rate of return

Rate = (Nper,PMT,,FV,1)

Nper (number of payments): 30

PMT (payment made every period) : -$20,000

FV (future value of investment): $1,000,000

type 1 for payment beginning of period

Then rate = (30,-20000,,1000000,1)= 3.12%

Please see excel attached for the calculation
