Ocean sediment core provides a climate record of the past 70 million years.

1880 is the reliable global record which we can say the climate began. Proxies(climate) helps the scientists to determine the climatic patterns even before starting record-keeping.

Some examples of proxies are sub-fossil pollen, lake and ocean sediments, tree rings, and ice cores. Climatic of the time influenced the growth rate of proxies material. It is from proxies where we can recover quantities of particular isotopes from climatic changes.

The combination of proxies can produce temperature reconstruction which is longer the instrumental temperature.

<span>Ocean sediment cores provide a climate record for the past 70 million years. Ocean sediment cores from the bottom of the ocean work as an event timeline. Every year the ocean sediment was piled above the sediment from the previous year. The deeper the ocean sediment, the older it was. </span>

The Midwest Division of Grainger Company has investment center average invested assets of $200,000 and investment center income

EleoNora [17]

The return on investment for this division is (B) 20%.

<h3>What is the return on investment (ROI)?</h3>

Return on investment (ROI) or return on costs (ROC) is a ratio of net income to investment over time (costs resulting from an investment of some resources at a point in time).
A high ROI indicates that the benefits of the investment outweigh the costs.
ROI is used as a performance indicator to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiencies of several investments.
It is one method of connecting profits to capital invested in economic terms.

<h3>To find the return on investment for this division:</h3>

= income/average invested assets

= $40,000/$200,000

= return on investment

= 20%

Therefore, the return on investment for this division is (B) 20%.

Carter Company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $4,110,00

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

$1,83,000

Explanation:

Sales = 4,535,000

Cost of goods sold = $2,560,000

Operating expenses = $1,382,000

Average total assets = $4,110,000

Net Income = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Operating expenses

= $4,535,000 - $2,560,000 - $1,382,000

= $5,93,000

Target income = 10% of Average total assets

= 0.10 × $4,110,000

= $410,000

Thus,

Residual income = Net income - Target income

= $5,93,000 - $410,000

= $1,83,000

Which of the following are characteristics of a perpetuity?

QveST [7]

Answer:

B. The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows.

C. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.

Explanation:

A Perpetuity is a financial instrument that pays the holder forever or in perpetuity. For example, a bank paying you $800 per year for ever because you invested $40,000.

There are certain characteristics

Option B

The Perpetuity like most financial Securities has its value based on the underlying cashflows that it can accumulate. This means that it's value is based on the present value of it's future cashflow so the other the cash payments, the higher the present value.

Option C.

As the discounted cashflows in the nearer future will be discounted less by the discount rate as opposed to the cash flows further in future, the cashflows nearer to the present in time will contribute more to the Perpetuity than the cashflows further in time.

For example using that first example, $800 per year at a rate of 5% will be discounted to $762 in the first year but in year 10 will be discounted to $491.

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue t

jonny [76]

Answer:

a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?

contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95

b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?

total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000

c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?

estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975

d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold

e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?

$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold

f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95

10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95

$272,475 = $121,000 + ?

? = $151,475

you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion

Answer:

Choice A is the correct answer

Explanation:

Howorth Dental Products

Cost of Production Report

Equivalent Units Materials Conversion Costs

Finished Goods 383000 383000

Ending WIP 19000 6650 ( 19000* 35%)

Total Equivalent Units 402,000 389650

Costs Material D.LAbor FOH

Preceding Department 46,100 25,000 25000

Added 85,800 98,300 98,700

Total Costs 131,900 123,300 123,700

Material Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 131,900/ 402,000= 0.328

Direct LAbor Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 123,300/ 389,650=0.316

FOH Costs Per Equivalent Unit = 123,700/ 389,650=0.317

Total Cost per Equivalent unit = 0.328 + 0.316+0.317= 0.961≅ 0.962 (rounding would give a difference)

Costs Transferred to Finished Goods = 0.962* 383,000= $368,446

Costs OF Ending work in Process = 0.328 * 19,000 + 0.316* 6650 + 0.317 * 6650

Costs of Ending WIP= 6232 +2108.5+ 2101.4= 10,441.9

Total Cost Allocation= 368,446 + 10,441.9= 378,887.9

Equivalent units of direct material 402,000

Equivalent units of direct labor 389,650

Equivalent units of overhead 389,650

Costs per equivalent unit $0.962

Transferred to Finished Goods $368,446

Total Ending Work in Process $10,449

Total Cost Allocation $378,895

There's a minute difference in the WIP ending Inventory Costs ( 10449 - 10441.9 = 7.1)and Total Costs ($378,895-378,887.9= 7.1) which is only due to rounding off. If you round off you will get the exact figures as given in the option.
