Floyd and Merriam start a partnership business on June 12, 2019. Their capital account balances as of December 31, 2020 stood as
Serga [27]

Answer:

d. Cash 27,000

Floyd, Capital 5,250

Merriam, Capital 1,750

Ramelow, Capital 20,000

Explanation:

First of all we need to calculate the total capital after admission

Total Capital after admission = $50,000 + $23,000 + $27,000 = $100,000

Share of Ramelow = Total Capital x Partnership share = $100,000 x 1/5 = $20,000

Actual Payment made by Ramelow = $27,000

Amount of goodwill paid by Ramelow = $27,000 - $20,000 = $7,000

This goodwill will be distributed between Floyd and Merriam as per their partnership ratio

Share of Goodwill ro Flyod = $7,000 x 3/4 = $5,250

Share of Goodwill ro Merriam = $7,000 x 1/4 = $1,750

The Yum and Yee food truck near the business school serves customers during lunch hour by taking orders and making fresh batches
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Setup time = 2.5 min. per order

Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute

Utilization = 7.5 minutes

Explanation:

The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes

Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes

cooking three orders = 4 minutes

bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes

a) Setup time:

Setup time = 3 - 0.5

= 2.5 min. per order

b) Process capacity:

Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)

= 5.5 minutes

Process capacity = Batch size / Production

= 6 / 5.5

= 1.09 units/minute

c) Utilization:

Batch size = 10

Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)

= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)

= 7.5 minutes

An accountant increases the price he charges for his services by 2 percent. In​ response, the demand for his services decreases
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The reason is that the price and demand are inversely proportional so if the price has been increased then the demand of the product will be decreased. Take the example of Bugatti Chiron, the price of the car is $19 million and total number of people that own is in tens this is because the buyers are less in quantity due to higher prices of the product. Same is the case here, if the accountant is going to charge high then his revenue will drop due to lower people are willing to buy its services.

lutik1710 [3]

The answer is: c) dates peaks and troughs only after the fact.

This mean that millions of dollar spents by the Bureau cannot necessarily used to address the economic problems that people currently face.

One argument to counter such criticism is that the data from the Bureau could be used to make future predicitons and prevent any mistakes in the past from occuring again in the future.
