The following information relates to Clyde Corporation, which produced and sold 50,000 units during a recent accounting period.
KiRa [710]

Answer:

option $13.30

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Units sold = 50,000

Revenue = $850,000

Fixed cost = $210,000

Variable cost = $140,000

Selling and administrative costs:

Fixed = $300,000

Variable = $45,000

Tax rate = 40%

Production and sales for the next accounting period = 40,000

Now,

Total Contribution margin = Revenue - Variable cost

= $850,000 - $140,000 - $45,000

= $665,000

Therefore,

For 40,000 units

Contribution margin per unit

= ( Total contribution margin ) ÷ (Number of units sold )

= $665,000 ÷ 50,000

= $13.30

Note : Contribution margin remains the same in per unit

Hence,

For 40,000 sales the Contribution margin per unit will be option $13.30

A person is required to keep a $300 balance for a free checking account. What would be the amount of lost interest over five yea
Helga [31]

The amount lost by the person as interest over five years is  $65

Explanation:

Given information's are

Amount = $300

years  =  Five years

Interest rate = 4 percent

If that person deposits $300 in to a saving account which gives 4% interest per year will get $365 after completion of five year period as follows..,

Usually bank follows compound interest method for five years holding of  deposits in the savings accounts.The compound interest formula is ((P×(1+i)^n) - P),

where

P is the principal,

i is the annual interest rate, and

n is the number of periods

Interest = $300 ×(1+0.04)5 - $300 = $65

Interest = $300 ×(1+0.04)5 - $300 = $65

So.,the amount lost by the person as interest over five years is  $65

1. Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to ensure that investors invest only in companies that will be profitable.
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

1. False

2. False

3. False

4. True

5. True

Explanation:

1.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act was a federal law that was established by congress to sweep auditing and financial statements for public companies. The main aim for this was to improve the investor confidence by improving reliability in accounting statements. Errors in the financial statements for the public companies were to be minimized following this law especially in the wake of numerous cases of corporate crime. This law was never passed to ensure that investors only invest in companies that will be profitable, since the choice of which company to invest in is exclusively left to the investor. So the above statement is false.

2.

Ethics can be defined as a set of rules and regulation that govern the moral behavior of someone. Ethical standards vary from one region to another since they are majorly cultural, for example; a behavior in the United States can be considered as appropriate while the same behavior in a different place can be inappropriate. Ethical standards are either right or wrong, and the actions are judged on these terms. Ethics don't measure whether a actions are loyal or disloyal, thus the statement is false.

3.

The primary accounting standard setting body in the United States is Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This body is charged with regulating and setting the best standard of accounting practice. The FASB usually constitutes a board whose officials are rigorously assessed. The board members have to be professionals in the field of accounting.  Securities and Exchange Commission on the other hand is an independent federal agency with the authority to enforce federal security laws. Thus the statement above is false.

4.

The historical cost principle suggests that the companies record assets cost at their original cost and continue to report them at their original cost over the time the asset is held. The historical cost principle is a generally accepted accounting principle that has been in use for a long time. The definition about the historical cost principle in the question above is therefor true.

5.

The monetary unit assumption dictates that business related activities be converted to monetary units. There are some business transactions that are however quite difficult to convert into monetary units, therefor the accountant in using this principle is only obliged to record only the transactions that can be measured in money terms. The statement about monetary units in the question above is thus true.
