Answer:

(C) utility

Explanation:

Utility is defined as the full satisfaction and the complete fulfillment of need received from consuming a good or service.

And the consumption of the first few units of any good tends to bring a higher level of utility to a person than consumption of later units. For instance, Mr A might board a vehicle to quickly make up with an appointment. But some other time, such rides might provide less utility, maybe to just save time.

tangare [24]

Answer:

See explanation Section

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the purchase of merchandise -

Merchandise Inventory          Debit        $300

Cash                                         Credit           $300

Note: As the perpetual inventory shows the running inventory of cost of goods available for sale. Therefore, every purchase of merchandise will directly debit the merchandise inventory and not the purchase account. Since the company paid immediately, cash decreased.

3-30 Operating leverage. Cover Rugs is holding a 2-week carpet sale at Josh’s Club, a local warehouse store. Cover Rugs plans to
Leni [432]

Answer:

The step by step answer to your problem is given below:

Explanation:

1A) Break even point for option 1:    

Sales- Variable cost= Fixed cost    

Q* $950-Q*$760= $7410    

Q*$190= $7410  

Q=$7410/$190  

Q= 39 carpets

1B) Breakeven point for Option 2    

Sales- variable cost-rent cost= 0    

Q*$950- $760*Q- (Q*950*10%)= 0    

95Q= 0    

Q= 0

2. At what level of revenues will Cover Rugs earn the same operating income under either option?

Operating income under Option 1 = $190Q - $7140

Operating income under Option 2 = $95Q

We have to find Q such that $190Q - $7140 = $95Q

Q=$7410/$95= 78 Carpets

Revenue= $950 x 78 = $74,100

For Q = 78 Carpets, operating income under both option 1 and 2 will be = $7410

a. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 1? b. For what range of unit sales will Cover Rugs prefer Option 2?

For Q > 78, say 79 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*79) - 7410= $7600

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*79= $7505

So color rugs will prefer Option 1.

For Q < 78, say 77 carpets:

Option 1 gives operating income= (190*77) - 7410= $7220

Option 2 gives operating income= 95*77= $7315

So color rugs will prefer Option 2.

3. Calculate the degree of operating leverage at sales of 65 units for the two rental options.

Operating Leverage= \frac{Contribution margin}{Operating Income}

= Contribution margin per unit x Numbers of Carpet Sold= Contribution Margin

Under Option 1,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760=$190,

Operating income= $190*65-$7410= $4940.

Degree of Operating Leverage= \frac{190*65}{6175}

=2.5

Under Option 2,

Contribution Margin per unit= $950-$760-$760-0.10*$950=$95,

Operating income= $95x65-$0= $6175.

\frac{95*65}{6175}

=1.0

4. Briefly explain and interpret your answer to requirement 3.

The degree of operating leverage helps managers calculate and anticipate the effects of fluctuations in sales on operating income. The calculation in requirement 3 show that when sales are 65 units, a % change in sales and contribution margin will result in 2.5 times that % change in operating income for option 1. But the same % change in Option 2 because there are no fix costs attached in option 2.

nformation taken from a Sears, Roebuck and Company annual report follows. December 31 Long-Term Debt ($ in millions) Year 2 Year
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The interest expense company recorded during Year 2 on the 7% debentures is $27,535,600

Explanation:

As the interest expense is different from the interest payment made on the debenture. It also includes some other costs. Effective interest rate includes the effects of all related costs of debentures. So the interest expense of a debenture will base the effective interest rate of the debenture.

We can calculate the Interest expense on 7% debtures as below

Interest Expense = Value of Debenture x Effective interest rate

Interest Expense = $188,600,000 x 14.6%

Interest Expense = $27,535,600
