Answer:

A. double

Explanation:

Rule 70 is used to calculate the numbers of years it takes for an investment or variable to double in value given a certain growth rate. In this case, the variable is prices and the growth rate is inflation rate. It is calculated by dividing number 70 by inflation rate.

For example;

Assume inflation rate is 6%, the prices will double in ; 70/6 = 11.7 years

And if inflation is 2%, the prices will double in 70/2 = 35 years

A university is trying to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of $24 per ticket, attendan

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Price per ticket should be charged in order to maximize revenue is $15.

70000 people will attend at this price.

Explanation:

Let 'x' represent the decrease .

Using the given information,

Price per ticket = 24 - 3x

Average no. of people that watch the game = 40000 + 10000x

Additional money spent by every person = 6(40000 + 10000x)

Revenue [R(x)] = Price per ticket $\times$ Average no. of people that watch the game + Additional money spent

Revenue [R(x)] = (24 - 3x) $\times$ (40000 + 10000x) + 6(40000 + 10000x)

On solving the above equation we get ,

Revenue [R(x)] = -30000 $x^{2}$ + 180000x + 1200000

In order to find the critical point we'll differentiate the following with respect to x;

R'(x) = -60000x + 180000

∵ R'(x) = 0

x = 3

Thus, the price per ticket that should be charged in order to maximize revenue is (24 - 3 $\times$ 3 = 24 - 9 = $15)

People that will attend at this price = (40000 + 10000 $\times$ 3) = 70000

A company uses the declining-balance method of calculating depreciation expense.On January 1, the company buys machinery for $75

elixir [45]

Answer:

Book value for the 3rd year = $ 750,000 - $366,000 = $ 384,000

Explanation:

Straight line rate= 100 % ÷ Useful Life = 100 ÷ 10= 10 %

Double Declining rate = 2 * Straight Line rate= 2 * 10= 20 %

Depreciation expense= Double declining balance rate * Beginning period book value

Depreciation expense for the first year = 20 % $ 750,000= $ 150,000

Book value for the first year = $ 750,000 - $ 150,000= $ 600,000

Depreciation expense for the 2nd year = 20 % $ 600,000= $ 120,000

Book value for the 2nd year = $ 750,000 - $ 270,000= $ 480,000

Depreciation expense for the 3rd year = 20 % $ 480,000= $ 96,000

Book value for the 3rd year = $ 750,000 - $366,000 = $ 384,000

When GaGa began adding novelty bars in new flavors, what was the effect on the width and depth of its product mix?

Yanka [14]

Answer:

It increased the depth of their product mix.

The depth of the product mix is basically how many different types of variations of the same product are offered, e.g. Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, etc. Increasing product depth involves new flavors, different package sizes or other specific characteristics regarding the product.

Product width refers to the different types of products offered by the company, e.g. Toyota offers sedans, trucks, SUVs, minivans. In this case, product width is not affected.

Orion Iron Corp. tracks the number of units purchased and sold throughout each year but applies its inventory costing method at

balandron [24]

Answer:

Transactions Units Unit Cost

a. Inventory, Beginning 300 $ 14

b. Purchase, April 11 950 12

c. Purchase, June 1 850 15

d. Sale, May 1 (sold for $42 per unit) 300

e. Sale, July 3 (sold for $42 per unit) 630

f. Operating expenses (excluding income tax expense), $18,200

1 and 2) When you use a periodic inventory method, cost of goods available for sale and ending inventory are the same. They differ only when you use a perpetual inventory.

ending inventory = 1,170 units

Ending inventory under FIFO:

$28,350 - $11,760 = $16,590

Ending inventory under LIFO:

$28,350 - $13,710 = $14,640

Ending inventory under weighted average:

$28,350 - $12,555 = $15,795

3) total units sold = 930 units

COGS under FIFO:

(300 x $14) + (630 x $12) = $11,760

COGS under LIFO:

(850 x $15) + (80 x $12) = $13,710

COGS under weighted average:

($28,350 / 2,100) x 930 = $12,555

4) Income statement under FIFO

Sales revenue $39,060

COGS ($11,760)

Gross profit $27,300

Operating expenses ($18,200)

Operating income $9,100

Income statement under LIFO

Sales revenue $39,060

COGS ($13,710)

Gross profit $25,350

Operating expenses ($18,200)

Operating income $7,150

Income statement under weighted average

Sales revenue $39,060

COGS ($12,555)

Gross profit $26,505

Operating expenses ($18,200)

Operating income $8,305

6) FIFO minimizes operating income, therefore, minimizes income tax expense.
