Answer:
a) $1,400
b) $1,800
c) $820
Explanation:
If the annual income is $60,000, the gross monthly income is I=60,000/12=5,000.
a) The maximum amount you should spend each month on a mortgage payment is:
![MP=0.28*I_m=0.28*5,000=1,400](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=MP%3D0.28%2AI_m%3D0.28%2A5%2C000%3D1%2C400)
b) The maximum amount you should spend each month for total credit obligations (including mortage) is:
![DP = 0.36*I_m=0.36*5,000=1,800](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=DP%20%3D%200.36%2AI_m%3D0.36%2A5%2C000%3D1%2C800)
c) If we need only 70% of the maximum allowed for the mortage, we have more income available for other debt payments.
The 70% represents:
![MP'=0.7*(0.28*5,000)=980](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=MP%27%3D0.7%2A%280.28%2A5%2C000%29%3D980)
We substract this from the total budget for debt payments and we have the budget for all other debts but mortage:
![ODP=1800-980=820](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ODP%3D1800-980%3D820)
Answer:
$260,000
Explanation:
Opening balance = Ending balance - Increase in ending balance
=$66,000 - $10,000
=$56,000
Supplies Expenses = Opening balance + Purchases - Closing balance
=$56,000 + $270,000 - $66,000
=$336,000 - $66,000
=$260,000
Therefore, the amount that will be the adjusting entry to supplies expenses is $260,000
Answer: Wages are flexible if the economy is self-regulating.
Explanation:
Classical economists believe that the economy is self-regulating. This means that if the economy is not at equilibrium, it will return to equilibrium if it is left without interference.
For this to happen, inputs such as wages have to flexible to enable them to adjust to market conditions and thus take the Economy back to equilibrium.
For instance, if there is a recession, wages will reduce so that the prices that the producers can charge will reduce as well which will enable supply to match demand and bring the economy back to equilibrium.
Answer:
a.
Cash 27000 Dr
Common Stock 13500 Cr
Paid in capital in excess of par-Common stock 13500 Cr
b.
Cash 135000 Dr
Preferred Stock 135000 Cr
Explanation:
a.
When we issue stock at premium, we always record the amount received from such issuance of stock at full. So, the cash account will be debited for 4500 * 6 = 27000
However, we record the common stock issued at par value and the remaining is credited under the reserve account which is Paid in capital in excess of par.
Thus the common stock will be credited by its par value of 4500 * 3 = 13500 and the remaining 4500 * 3 will be credited to the Paid in Capital account.
b.
The par value of the preferred stock is 4500 * 30 = 135000
Thus the preferred stock is issued at par and we simply debit the cash received from the issue and credit the preferred stock.
