SELLING OR ADMINISTRATIVE

Cost $197,000

PRODUCT COST

Direct Indirect

$212,000 $94,000

2. Computation to determine the average product cost of one patio set.

Using this formula

Average product cost of one patio set =(Direct costs +Indirect costs)/Capacity set per year

Let plug in the formula

Average product cost of one patio set=($212,000+$94,000)/2,000 sets

Average product cost of one patio set =$306,000/2,000 sets

Average product cost of one patio set = $153 per set

Therefore The Average product cost of one patio set will be $153 per set

3. In a situation were the production drops I Would expect the average product cost per set to INCREASE, reason been that the fixed costs would extend over few units which will inturn cause the average cost per unit to increase.

Proposal #2 would establish local collection centers throughout the region to decrease the time it takes to convert credit payme
mezya [45]

Answer: a. $120,000

b. $6,000

c. Yes

Explanation:

a. It is said that the collection centres would help reduce the collection time by 2 days and that every day $60,000 comes in.

If the proposal will reduce the amount of time taken to collect by 2 days then that means that the amount freed up is the amount that they would have collected in two days had it not been for the system.

That amount would be,

= $60,000 * 2

= $120,000

b. If they used this free up cash to pay off a debt that was accumulating 5% per year then the 5% will be saved.

The amount saved therefore is,

= 120,000 * 5%

= $6,000

By retiring a $120,000 that was accruing $6,000 a year, the proposal has enabled that $6,000 to be saved instead.

c. The cost of implementing this proposal is $5,200 per year and yet the savings it gives in interest is $6,000.

As the savings are higher than the cost, the number definitely suggest that the project should be implemented because it is more beneficial than it costs.

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d. 5.5.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not properly arranged. It is therefore rearranged before answering the question as follows:

Balance sheet and income statement data indicate the following:

Bonds payable, 10% (due in two years)                              $842,000

Preferred 5% stock, $100 par (no change during year)       220,000

Common stock, $50 par (no change during year)             1,672,000

Income before income tax for year                                       376,000

Income tax for year                                                                  89,000

Common dividends paid                                                         83,600

Preferred dividends paid                                                          11,000

Based on the data presented, what is the times interest earned ratio (rounded to one decimal place)?

Oa. 7.9

Ob. 4.5

Oc. 3.5

Od. 5.5

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest expenses ................ (1)

Where;

Interest expenses = Bonds payable * 10% = $842,000 * 10% = $84,200

EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax for year + Interest expenses = $376,000 + $84,200 = $460,200

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Times interest earned ratio = $460,200 / $84,200 = 5.46555819477435

Rounded to one decimal place, we have:

Times interest earned ratio = 5.5

Therefore, the correct option is d. 5.5.

2. As a teenager, why might creating a budget be important?
Vadim26 [7]

A budget can help teens start to discern between genuine needs and wants and will show them where their money is going each month. A good budget will provide for both needs and at least some wants and should be flexible and relatively easy to use and understand.
