Suppose the price of apples goes up from $20 to $22 a box. In direct response, Goldsboro Farms supplies 1,200 boxes of apples in

OLga [1]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded or supplied of a good to a change in its price. It is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded—or supplied—divided by the percentage change in price.

Elasticity can be described as elastic—or very responsive—unit elastic, or inelastic—not very responsive.

Elastic demand or supply curves indicate that the quantity demanded or supplied responds to price changes in a greater than proportional manner.

An inelastic demand or supply curve is one where a given percentage change in price will cause a smaller percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.

Unitary elasticity means that a given percentage change in price leads to an equal percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.

A construction company entered into a fixed-price contract to build an office building for $32 million. Construction costs incur

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

company gained a gross profit of $2 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Contract price to build an office = $32 million

Construction costs incurred during the first year = $9 million

Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year = $21 million

Therefore,

Total cost incurred to complete the construction of the office at the end of the first year

= Construction costs incurred during the first year + Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year

= $9 million + $21 million

= $30 million

Thus,

The revenue generated by the company = Contract price - cost incurred

= $32 million - $30 million

= $2 million

since the revenue is positive, hence the company gained a gross profit of $2 million

A company uses the percent of sales method to determine its bad debts expense. At the end of the current year, the company's una

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: $5,440

Explanation:

When using the percent of sales method to determine bad debts, the company estimates a percentage that it believes will results in uncollectible debt and then applies it to the sales/revenue figure. The figure that is calculated is then debited along with the debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful accounts to the Bad debts account for the year and credited to the Allowance for doubtful accounts.

This company estimates that they will have 0.6% of credit sales uncollectible.

There are also $790,000 in sales of which all are on credit.

The Uncollectible estimate is therefore,

= 790,000 * 0.6%

= $4,740

This figure is then added to the debit amount on the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts.

= 4,470 + 700

= $5,440

Note; A debit balance on the Allowance for doubtful debt account signifies that the bad debts were higher than anticipated the last time. This is why the figure is added to the current bad debts expense.

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2019, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relati

hoa [83]

This question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

The Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2016 to $2,000 in 2017. Here is the December 31, 2016, balance sheet:

Cash $ 100 Accounts payable $ 50

Accounts receivable 200 Notes payable 150

Inventories 200 Accruals 50

Net fixed assets 500 Long-term debt 400

Common stock 100

Retained earnings 250

Total assets $1000 Total liabilities and equity $1000

Booth's fixed assets were used to only 50% of capacity during 2016, but its current assets were at their proper levels in relation to sales. Spontaneous liabilities and all assets except fixed assets must increase at the same rate as sales, and fixed assets would also have to increase at the same rate if the current excess capacity did not exist. Booth's after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 3% and its payout ratio to be 50%. What is Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year = 370

Explanation:

Additional Funds Needed (AFN):

Additional Funds Needed (AFN) is a way of calculating how much new funding will be required, so that the firm can realistically look at whether or not they will be able to generate the additional funding and therefore be able to achieve the higher sales level.

Formula of AFN:

AFN = [ ( A / S0 ) * ΔS - ( L / S0 ) * ΔS - MS1 * ( RR ) ]

where

A = Assets linked with sales

Formula for Assets:

Assets = Cash + Account receivable + Inventories

As

Cash = 100

Account receivable = 200

Inventories = 200

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

= 100 + 200 + 200

= 500

ΔS = Difference in sales between S0 and S1

S0 = Sales of last year

S1 = Total projected sales for next year

As the Booth Company's sales are forecasted to double from $1,000 in 2016 to $2,000 in 2017 so

ΔS = 2000 - 1000

ΔS = 1000

L = Spontaneous liabilities

Formula for Spontaneous liabilities:

L = Accounts payable + Accruals

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

L = 50 + 50

L = 100

MS1 = Projected net income

RR = Retention Ratio

M = 0.05

RR = 1 - 0.7

RR = 0.3

therefore by putting the values in the above formula, we get

Additional Funds Needed = ( 500 / 1000 ) * 1000 - ( 100 / 1000 ) * 1000 - 0.05 * 2000 * 0.3

Additional Funds Needed = 370

Therefore, Booth's additional funds needed (AFN) for the coming year = 370
