I would say false. the par value is not necessarily the amount that the investor must pay in order to purchase the preferred stock. the par value is known to be the market price of the stock however, investors may offer the stock above or below the par value depending on the decision of the board

Answer:

$358,150

Cost of goods manufactured is calculated in a Schedule of Manufacturing Costs as follows :

Total Manufacturing Costs :

Materials used in product $124,260

Depreciation on plant $69,650

Property taxes on plant $21,750

Labor costs of assembly-line $120,570

Factory supplies used $25,810

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Department C should be closed

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

A B C

$ $ $ Total

Sales Revenue 12,000 48,000 40,000 100,000

Operating cost 11,400 59,800 50,500

Operating income 600 (11,800) (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost 3,000 12,000 10,000

Contribution 3,600 200 (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000 × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution. It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed

Department C should be closed

A buyer values a house at $525,000 and a seller values the same house at $485,000. If sales tax is 8% and is levied on the selle

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

$523,800

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Cost price by buyer = $525000

Selling price by seller = $485000

Sales tax = 8%

Unknown:

The lowest selling price by the seller = ?

Solution:

To solve this business problem, we must understand that the price the seller would be will to part with will be his selling price and the percentage of sales tax incurred in the procurement.

This will be the minimum and least profitable estimated amount the seller is willing to sell at.

Lowest selling price = selling price by seller + amount of sales tax incurred

Sales tax amount = selling price x sales tax percentage

= $485000 x $\frac{8}{100}$

= $38800

Lowest selling price = $485000 + $38800 = $523,800
