Answer:

a. $395,000

Explanation:

Since the depreciating method is practiced in a straight-line basis, the equation for the value of the building as a function of the time in years (V(t)) is:

V(t) = -kt + C

Where k is the yearly depreciation rate of $15,000 per year and C is the initial cost.

For t = 25 years, V(t) = $20,000. Thus:

V(t) = -15,000t + C\\V(25) = 20,000 = -15,000*25 +C\\C= 20,000 + 15,000*25\\C= 395,000

The original cost of the building was $395,000

Valiant Petro products refines crude oil to produce gasoline and kerosene. Joint costs incurred during the month of May were $1,
arsen [322]

Answer: $1,400,000

Explanation:

Joint cost = $1,800,000

Further processing cost(Gasoline) =$100,000

Further processing cost(kerosene) =$200,000

Price of gasoline = $4 per gallon

Price of kerosene = $3.50 per gallon

Processed gasoline in May = 500,000

Processed kerosene in May = 600,000

Allocation of joint cost(Gasoline) = (Total cost × share ratio)

Share ratio = further processing cost of component ÷ total further processing cost

[$1,800,000 × ( 100000 ÷ 300000)]

($1,800,000 × 0.33333333) = 599,999.999

Net realizable value = (Final sales price - processing cost)

[ $(500,000×4) - $600,000]

$2,000,000 - $600,000

$1,400,000

Production cost of gasoline is $1,400,000

Zibba Company enters materials at the beginning of the process. In January, there was no beginning work in process, but there we
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

units started less 200.

Explanation:

Unit at which the process is started on the beginning of January minus the closing inventory is the number of completed units in work in process when there is No beginning Work in process.

Using following formula we will calculate the Units completed in WIP.

Work in process Closing Inventory = Opening WIP + Addition during the period - Completion during the period

200 units = $0 + Addition during the period - Completion during the period

Completion during the period = Addition during the period - $200 units

In the absence of Beginning Inventory the the addition during the period is the number of unit at which the process is started.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

Explanation:

A budget line represents the maximum possible combination of two goods that can be purchased by an individual by spending all of his income.  

George has a weekly income of $50.

He spends this income on donuts and coffee.

The price of a donut is $1 and the price of coffee is $2.50.

As George's income increase to $100, George will be able to afford more coffee and donuts as the price of coffee does not change.  

So, the budget line will shift to the right, indicating the increase in the quantity of goods George can afford.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

a. This part can be drawn here, so I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to attachment for this part of the question.

b. First blank = 13 marks

2nd Blank = Astronomy

c. Economics for 3 hours

Astronomy for 1 hour

d. In this case, Jade's Performance Possibility Frontier graph will shift to left. As obviously, she will get low marks in both exams if her laptop dies.  

Explanation:

Jade have total 4 hours to study and have two exams of Economics and Astronomy. If she only studies Economics then she will lose marks in Astronomy and vice versa. So, she needs to plan wisely to gain optimum marks and this questions is all about the planning.

Solution:

a. This part can be drawn here, so I have attached it in the attachment. Please refer to attachment for this part of the question.

b. Supposing Jade spend first 2 hours studying economics.

It means from the data, she would obtain 90 marks in Economics.

Now, the other part is asking that, if she spends 3rd hour studying Economics then what is the opportunity cost of spending that hour. And how much marks she will compromise for the other subject

So,

Suppose, she spends that 3rd hour studying Astronomy. So, according to data given, she will acquire 13 marks in Astronomy. And it is exactly the opportunity cost of spending the third hour studying Economics.

First blank = 13 marks

2nd Blank = Astronomy

c. In order to maximize the score from the combination of exams, Jade need to study Economics for 3 hours which will give her total marks = 95 marks

and she need to study Astronomy for 1 hour which will give her total marks = 83 marks.

In this combination, she will get maximum marks = 95 + 83 = 178 marks

d. In this case, Jade's Performance Possibility Frontier graph will shift to left. As obviously, she will get low marks in both exams if her laptop dies.
