Explanation:
The amount they need to save is the down payment for the house:
= 800,000 * 15%
= $120,000
They are saving a total of:
= 1,050 + 490
= $1,540 per month
Interest is 3.4%/12 as it is monthly.
On excel, insert the details as shown in the attachment.
You should get 70.5 months.
In years this is:
= 70.5/12

Answer:
1- Increasing
Explanation:
Term insurance is kind of a life insurance which during a specified term promises payment in case of death and when that specified term comes to an end it can be renewed (renewable term), terminated or made permanent. There are three types of term insurances.
- Renewable
- Decreasing
- Level
There is no such policy as Increasing under term insurances.
Under renewable term insurance the insurer can renew on a yearly basis without specifying specific term.
Under decreasing term insurance the insurer pays a fixed amount for the duration of the policy. The coverage of this life insurance policy declines at a predetermined rate over the life of the policy that's why the name decreasing.
Under Level term insurance the insurer also pays a fixed amount and policies under this insurance type cover a period, mostly between ten to thirty years.
None of them is the answer
Answer:
1. "Would you consider these mixers to be inventory or should they be classified as supplies or equipment?" Why?
The mixers will be part of merchandise inventory since Mei-ling is purchasing them and will later resell them at a higher price and hopefully make a profit. Products classified as supplies or equipment are used by the company in their day to day activities and are not meant for resale.
2. "I’ve learned a little about keeping track of inventory using both the perpetual and the periodic systems of accounting for inventory. Which system do you think is better? Which one would you recommend for the type of inventory that I want to sell?"
The perpetual inventory system is much better than the periodic inventory system, but it is also more expensive to use. Depending on the number of mixers that are going to be sold, you can do it hand or use a computer software which would make things much easier, but you need to spend time (labor) and money to do so.
If Mei-ling is expecting to sell only a small number of mixers, then she could use a periodic inventory system which is much more simple and is only updated every certain period of time (monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually). This is a cheaper system but it is the best alternative.
3. "How often do I need to count inventory if I maintain it using the perpetual system? Do I need to count inventory at all?"
Even if you use the perpetual inventory system, you will eventually need to physically count your inventory in order to make sure that the records have been properly made, but you could do it once or twice a year. Again it depends on the total units that she expects to have in inventory.
Answer:
Fixed costs that can be avoided by discontinuing the line.
Explanation:
Avoidable costs are those costs which can be eliminated by closing or rejecting a decision under evaluation. These costs are mostly variable coasts which vary with the change in activities. More activity more cost, less activity less cost and no activity no cost.
So fixed costs that can be avoidable by discontinuing the project is the only irrelevant cost between the given options.
