Boney Corporation processes sugar beets that it purchases from farmers. Sugar beets are processed in batches. A batch of sugar b

eets costs $54 to buy from farmers and $13 to crush in the company's plant. Two intermediate products, beet fiber and beet juice, emerge from the crushing process. The beet fiber can be sold as is for $24 or processed further for $17 to make the end product industrial fiber that is sold for $65. The beet juice can be sold as is for $45 or processed further for $21 to make the end product refined sugar that is sold for $65.
What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar? Multiple Choice $(4) per batch $18 per batch $(180) per batch $28 per batch

Answer:

$25 per batch

Explanation:

Combined final sales value:

= Sales value of refined sugar + Sales value of industrial fiber

= $65 + $65

= $130

Financial advantage:

= Combined final sales value - Further Processing - sugar beets costs - Cost to Crush

= $130 - ($17 + $21) - $54 - $13

= $130 - $38 - $54 - $13

= $25 per batch

Therefore, the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar is $25.

Suppose the price of gasoline decreases from $4.20 to $2.00, and in response quantity demanded increases from 10600 to 11200. Us
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

0.079

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand using midpoint formula can be calculated as follows

Formula

Elasticity of demand = (change in quantity/average quantity)/(change in price/average price)

Calculation

Elasticity of demand = (600/10,900)/(-2.1/3.05)

Elasticity of demand =-0.055 / -0.688

Elasticity of demand =-0.079

working

Change in price (2-4.1) = -2.1  

Average price (2+4.1)/2=3.05

Change in quantity (11,200-10600) = 600

average quantity (11,200+10,600)/2 = 10,900

 

The elasticity of demand is inelastic as the elasticity is below 1.

Company A has a beta of 0.70, while Company B's beta is 1.45. The required return on the stock market is 11.00%, and the risk-fr
stira [4]

Answer:

company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity

Explanation:

cost of equity = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)

risk free rate = 4.25%

market premium = market return - risk free rate = 11% - 4.25% = 6.75%

Company A's cost of equity = 4.25% + (0.7 x 6.75%) = 8.975%

Company B's cost of equity = 4.25% x (1.45 x 6.75%) = 14.0375%

this means that company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity.

How many days will it take for $1500 to earn $16 interest if it is deposited in a bank paying simple interest at the rate of 4%/
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

97 days

Explanation:

In simple interest method, the interest is calculated by the following formula

I= P x R x T

I= interest

P = principal amount

R =interest rate

T= Time

In this case

I=$16

P=$1500$

R= 4% or 0.04%

T= time

$16= $1500 x 0.04 x Time

$16 =60 x Time

Time = 16/60

time = 0.2666 year.

time in days =  0.26666 x 365 days

=97.333 days

=97 days

On January 1, 2010, the balance in Tabor Co.'s Allowance for Bad Debts account was $13,085. During the first 11 months of the ye
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

(a) What was the total of accounts written off during the first 11 months?

bad debts written for the first 11 months = allowance for bad debt accounts January 1 balance + bad debt expense - allowance for bad debt accounts November 30 balance = $13,085 + $21,937 - $9,919 = $25,103

(b) As the result of a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the December 31, 2010, balance of the Allowance for Bad Debts account should be $9,450. Show the adjustment required in the journal entry format.Allowance for bad debt Debit $Bad debt expenses Credit $

to determine the amount of bad debt expense that must be adjusted, we must subtract the estimated balance in December 31 from the balance in November 30 = $9,919 - $9,450 = $469. Since the November 30 amount is larger, it means that we over estimated our bad debt expense and it must be reduced:

Dr Allowance for doubtful accounts 469

    Cr Accounts receivable 469
