Answer:

the option of $200,000 because the value of 1400 for 20 years every monthy is only 195,413.

Explanation:

To determine which is better, we compare the value of $200,000 with the future value of $1400  per month for 20 years at 6 per interest.

The formula  for calculating the future value of annuities is as follows

PV = P × ( 1 − (1+r)−n)/ r

P V= present

P= $1,400

r =6 % or 0.06 % or 0.005 per month

n = 20 years or 240 periods

PV = $1400 x ( 1-(1+0.005]-240)/ 0.005

P=  $1400 x (1-0.3020961415)/0.005

P =$1400 x (0.697903859/0.005)

P= $1400 x 139.5807718

P=$195,413.078

The future value of $1400 at 6 percent for 20 years is $195,413, which is less than $200,000.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

INCORRECT.

In income summary account, all revenue accounts are closed by debiting them and crediting the income summary account. expense accounts are closed by crediting them and debiting income summary account. then on closing income summary account it shows debit balance if there is a net loss and it shows credit balance if there is a net income.

In the given case clever auto services has debit balance of $5,300 i,e it implies that clever auto services has loss .

Therefore above statement is wrong. It implies a loss of $5300 not the net income of $5,300.

inn [45]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total Per Unit Sales (37,000 units at $6) $ 222,000  

Variable expenses 111,000 ($3.00)

Contribution margin 111,000 ($ 3.00)

Fixed expenses 41,000

Net operating income $ 70,000

1) sales increase by 12%

Income= contribution margin* 1.12 - fixed expenses= 111,000*1.12 - 41,000= 83,320

2) selling price decreases by $1.30 per unit and the number of units sold increased by 19%.

Income= (37000*1.19)*(4.7-3) - 41,000= 33,851

3)  the selling price increases by $1.30 per unit, fixed expenses increase by $6,000, and the number of units sold decreased by 7%

Income= (37000*0.93)*(7.30-3) - 47000= $100,963

4) the selling price per unit increases by 20%, variable expenses increase by 20 cents per unit, and the number of units sold decreased by 13%

Income= (37000*0.87)*(7.2-3.2) - 41000= $87,760
