Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current wage rate of the workers = $8 per hour

Current year CPI = 160

Previous year CPI = 128

Inflation rate:

= (Current year CPI - Previous year CPI) ÷ Previous year CPI

= (160 - 128) ÷ 128

= 32 ÷ 128

= 0.25 or 25%

Therefore, the firm should increase the hourly wages of its workers by:

= Inflation rate × Current wage rate of the workers

= 25% × $8 per hour

= $2 per hour

The firm receives an average of $20,000 in checks per day. The weighted average delay in clearing the checks received is 3 days.
katrin [286]

Answer:

<u>$26000</u>

Explanation:

from the question;

check per day; 20000

delay: 3 days

checks to pay suppliers; 17000

clearing time 2 days

<u>we first calculate collection flaot:</u>

collection flaot = average amount of check x outstanding days

= 20000 x 3

= 60000

now we have to calculate <u>disbursements float:</u>

average amount of check x days to clear

= 17000 x 2

= 34000

with these two values we can get the net float

= collection flaot - disbursements float

= 60000 - 34000

= <u>$26000</u>

You plan to make a series of deposits in an interest-bearing account. You will deposit $1,000 today, $2,000 in 2 years, and $8,0
solniwko [45]

Answer:

$5,641

Explanation:

DEPOSIT NOW  

$1000 * FVIF 9%,8 PERIODS

= $1000 * 1.9926

= $1992.6

IN 2 YEARS

= $2000 * FVIF 9%,6 PERIODS

= $2000 * 1.6771

= $3354.20

IN 5 YEARS

= $8000 * FVIF 9%, 3 PERIODS

= $8000*1.2950

= $10360

WITHDRAWAL: IN 3 YEARS

= ($3000) * FVIF 9%, 5 PERIODS

= ($3000) * 1.5386

= ($4615.80)

IN 7 YEARS

= ($5000) * FVIF 9%, 1 PERIOD

= ($5000) * 1.0900

= ($5450)

Total value = $1992.6  + $3354.20 + $10360  - $4615.80 - $5450

Total value = $5,641

So, the total future value after eight years is $5,641

Murrr4er [49]

Since the corporation intended to take the discount by paying early within the number of days allowed so upon payment the following entry should be made.

Accounts Payable (Debit)                             96,000

Purchase Discount Income (Credit)                9,600

Cash (Credit)                                                  86,400
