Answer:

Date of selling machine is 31 Dec 2021, then gain of $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then gain of 2,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per year = (original cost $80,000  - residual value $5,000)/ useful life of 10 years

= $7,500 per year

Date of purchase: January 1, 2009

Date of sold:  December 31, 2021

⇒ Actual life of this machine = 13 years, but the maximum depreciation as accounting rule is for 10 year only

After 13 years, the book value = original cost - depreciation booked

= $80,000 - $7,500*10 = $5,000

Gain/ Loss =  sold price - boo value = $52,000 - $5,000 = $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then we have:

Gain/ Loss = sold price - book value

= $52,000 - ($80,000 - $7,500*4) = 2,000

Tasya [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is A)

Explanation:

There is no good or service that is unlimited.

The concept of the Barter system was simply a method of exchanging value for value.

  • It was phased away due to several reasons:
  • It was not a good store of value as many of the goods were perishable
  • it didn't make for good administration: It was too cumbersome and problematic. Imagine having to store three trailers of eggs awaiting a barter exchange

Cheers!

Ordinary simple interest brings increased revenue to the lender. The general practice
densk [106]

Answer:

Exact = $34.5

Ordinary = $35

Explanation:

Given that :

Principal, P = $1500

Interest rate = 14% = 0.14

Number of days = 60

For exact :

Exact simple interest uses 365 days :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 365 = 34.520547 = $34.5

For ordinary simple interest :

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

Simple interest = $1500 * 0.14 * 60 / 360 = $35

1. A Contribution Format Income Statement for divisions:

2a. Increase monthly advertising for the West Division by $28,000 to increase its sales by 12%

                                    East          Central        West          Total

Sales                   $412,000  $670,000   $520,000 $1,602,000

Variable exp.         181,280     207,700      166,400      555,380

Contribution

          margin    $230,720    462,300    353,600    1,046,620

Fixed expenses  290,000    332,000     191,000       813,000

Non-Traceable

    Fixed Expenses                                                       338,000

Net operating Income

  (loss)               ($59,280)  $130,300  $162,600   ($104,380)

2b. How much Company's Net Operating Income Increase (Decrease) with the implementation of the above Proposal:

Net operating income before advert = $162,600

Division's net operating income after advert = $160,366

Therefore, the company's net operating loss will increase by $2,234

Explanation:

a) Wingate Company's recent monthly contribution format Income Statement:

Sales                                    $ 1,602,000

Variable expenses                    555,380

Contribution margin               1,046,620

Fixed expenses                        1,151,000

Net operating income (loss) $ (104,380)

b) Division West's Income Statement:

Sales                                 $582,400 ($520,000 x 1.12)

Variable expenses             203,034  ($181,280 x 1.12)

Contribution margin        $379,366

Fixed Expenses                 219,000 ($191,000 + 28,000)

Net Operating Income    $160,366

c) If sales value increases by 12%, the variable expenses will increase proportionately, unless there is an increase in the price, which will ultimately reduce demand, further depressing the sales value.  This is why it is called Variable Cost.  Therefore, a different result will be obtainable if the variable expenses are held constant, contrary to its behavior.

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Sale value of the merchandise = $74,900

Sales tax liability = $74,900 × (7% ÷ 107%)

                         = $4,900

Sale value prior to sales tax = $74,900 - $4,900

                                               = $70,000

Sales tax @7% on $70,000 = $4,900

Hope the above calculation will clear the concept since the question clearly mention that

Calhoun Crockery sold merchandise; the total proceeds collected, including a 7% sales tax, amounted to $74,900.

This $74,900 includes 7% tax also it means that the collected proceed is 100% + 7% = 107%

which includes 7% tax liability.
