Answer:

D) a checking account, a certificate of deposit, shares of stock, a new vehicle

Explanation:

Being liquid refers to the ability of an asset to convert to cash easily. A liquid asset is one that can be converted to very quickly. The least liquid asset is one that takes a lot of time and effort to convert to cash. Cash is the most liquid asset, as it does not require any conversion.

Cash in the bank is treated as cash. It is highly liquid because conversion is not needed. From the list provided, the motor vehicle will be the least liquid. It is a tangible asset that requires an unspecified amount of time to dispose of. At times buyers can be identified after a lengthy period. A certificate of deposit is fairly liquid as its maturity period is anywhere between days and nine months.

An income statement for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter of the year is presented below:

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

Explanation:

The contribution margin is the sales minus total variable cost. This can be calculated as follows:

Units of books sold = Sales / Selling price per book = $900,000 / $60 = 15,000

Variable selling expenses = Units of books sold * Variable selling expenses per book = 15,000 * $5 = $75,000

Variable administrative expenses = Sales * 3% = $900,000 * 3% = $27,000

Total variable cost = Cost of goods sold + Variable selling expenses + Variable administrative expenses = $635,000 + $75,000 + $27,000 = $737,000

Contribution margin = Sales - Total variable cost = $900,000 - $737,000 = $163,000

Therefore, the contribution margin for Sam's Bookstore for the first quarter is $163,000.

Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 50,000 ounces from the

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.

Explanation:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period can be computed by simply deducting the beginning work in process from the number of ounces completed.

Since we have the following from the question:

Number of ounces completed by Filling = 46,000 ounces

Beginning work in process = 4,000 ounces

Therefore, we have:

Number of ounces started and completed = Number of ounces completed by Filling - Beginning work in process = 46,000 ounces - 4,000 ounces = 42,000 ounces

Therefore, the number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Correct answer is:

Debit Salaries Expense $840

Credit Salaries Payable $840

Explanation:

2 employees each paid at $ 210 per day so daily salary expense is $210*2 = $420.

The accounting period ends on Tuesday and both employees work for Monday and Tuesday so the 2 days salaries expense is $420*2= $840.

As the salaries are paid on every Friday so there is a liability on a company for the 2 days salary payable to be recorded on accounting period close date i.e Tuesday.
