Answer: If the government sets a price floor of $5 per bushel, Say 1000 bushels of corn are produced, of which 300 bushels are purchased by consumers, and 700 bushels by the government. The program costs the government $3500. Farmers receive $5000 in total revenue.

Explanation: A price floor is a legitimate minimum value that the government sets on a product in the market, usually to protect the suppliers/farmers. Using the ballpark values as in the answer, to estimate and explain the concept of a price floor:  

Say total quantity produced is 1000 bushels of corn from which the Market demands 300 bushels. Given that the government has set a price floor at $5 per bushel; then the Government has to buy the surplus bushels of corn in the market from the farmers.  

Surplus bushels = Quantity produced – Quantity purchased  

1000 bushels – 300 bushels = 700 surplus bushels of corn to be purchased at $5 each by the government

Therefore: It would cost the government (700 bushels x $5 =) $3,500 to mop up the surplus in the market and pay the farmers. The 300 bushels purchased by consumers would yield (300 x $5 =) $1,500 in earnings for the farmers. Total earning by the farmers = $3500 (from the government) and $1500 from consumers) = $5000.

I hope this helps to understand the concept of price floors.

Exercise 5-15B Record notes receivable and interest revenue (LO5-7) On March 1, Company A provides legal services to Company B r
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

March 1: Note acceptance

Debit Note receivable $9,100

Credit Accounts receivable $9,100

<em>(To record note receivable from Company B)</em>

Sept 1: Cash collection

Debit Cash $9,100

Credit Note receivable $9,100

<em>(To record cash collection of note receivable)</em>

Debit Cash $364

Credit Interest receivable $364

<em>(To record cash collection of interest receivable on note)</em>

Explanation:

Note is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

Interest revenue on the note is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

The total interest revenue is $9,100 x 8%/12 x 6 months = $364.

Monthly interest revenue is therefore $364 / 6 months = $60.67.

<em>The 6 months is from March 1 to Sept. 1.</em>

On a monthly basis, Company A would accrue for the interest revenue as follows:

Debit Interest receivable $60.67

Credit Interest revenue $60.67

<em>(Interest accrual on notes receivable)</em>

exis [7]

Answer:

Effective tax rate =28.50 %

Explanation:

given data

Net Income before taxes = $2,00,000  

Interest revenue = $20,000  

Life insurance Premium = $10,000

tax rate = 30%

to find out

Fern's effective tax rate

solution

first we get here Taxable Income that is express as

Taxable Income = Net Income before taxes + Life insurance Premium - Interest revenue   ........................1

put here value we get

Taxable Income = $2,00,000 + $10,000 - $20,000

Taxable Income = $190000

so

Income tax Liability will be

Income tax Liability = Taxable Income × Tax rate  .....................2

Income tax Liability = $190000  × 30%

so Effective tax rate will be

Effective tax rate = \frac{Income\ tax\ Liability}{Net\ Income}

Effective tax rate = \frac{57000}{200000}

Effective tax rate =28.50 %

Who was your most difficult customer?
jeka57 [31]

Answer: when I was working at AXA as a Financial Advisor, my most difficult clients or customers are the SKEPTICAL CUSTOMERS ( their ask much questions and always doubt everything you say).

one of the days I never meet a clients need, was the day a client wants to liquidate his money market investment ( it's a fixed account where clients deposit money and expect good returns or interest when ever they want to cash out the money). The clients wants his money immediately, but at that moment we had some Network issue, and claims has to be posted before liquidation can be done. I called the head office to inform them the issue on ground, as they work to rectify it, I took the client to our lounge room, I bought him ice cream and cake, we ate together and I cracked some jokes, we laughed together as we wait for the Network issue to be resolved,

Customers satisfaction is actually difficult when it comes to large number, I always have a note book, to write down appointment and discussions with customers, so it will be easy for me to satisfy everyone according to what we have discussed earlier. When I have much work to do per hour, I have to inform them on how each issue will be treated accordingly, as their patiently wait.

The last time I apologized to someone was few hours ago, I mistakenly stepped on someone's foot in a public transport, I just have to apologize immediately.
