Blue Ridge Hot Tubs manufactures and sells two models of hot tubs: the Aqua-Spa and the HydroLux. Howie Jones, the owner and man
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Using Excel solver, the optimal solution is: 122 Aqua-Spa + 78 Hydro-Lux, and the maximum profit = $66,100

Explanation:

you have to maximize the following equation: 350A + 300H

where:

A = number of Aqua-Spa hot tubs sold

H = number of Hydro-Lux hot tubs sold

the constraints are:

A + H ≤ 200     ⇒ number of water pumps available

9A + 6H ≤ 1,566      ⇒ number of labor hours available

12A + 16H ≤ 2,880      ⇒ number of feet of tubing available

A ≥ 0      ⇒ non-negative numbers

B ≥ 0      ⇒ non-negative numbers

both A and B are integers    

Using Excel solver, the optimal solution is: 122A + 78B, and the maximum profit = $66,100

Accompanying a bank statement for Borden Company is a credit memo for $21,200 representing the principal ($20,000) and interest
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The journal entry to record this note collection carried out by the bank should be:

Dr Cash 21,200

    Cr Notes receivable 20,000

    Cr Interest revenue 1,200

Explanation:

Notes receivable is an asset account and it probably represented a sale made on credit by the company, so when it was collected, the amount should decrease and that is done by crediting it.

On the other hand, since only $20,000 belonged to the note, the rest ($1,200) must be recorded as interest revenue. Revenues are always credited.
