Answer:
total fixed cost= 90,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A firm expects to sell 25,000 units of its product at $11 per unit. Pretax income is predicted to be $60,000. The variable costs per unit are $5.
The pretax income is calculated using the following formula:
Pretax income= total contribution margin - total fixed cost
60,000= 25,000*(11 - 5) - total fixed cost
60,000 - 150,000= - total fixed cost
total fixed cost= 90,000

<h2>
W Smith, a sole trader</h2>
Identification and Explanation of Highlighted Accounting Concepts and Treatment in the Final Accounts:
1. Economic Entity: The business (economic entity) is separate from the individual (W. Smith). Accounts are kept to ensure this separation of ownership from the business. This withdrawal is treated as Drawings, a reduction of capital (owner's equity) in the balance Sheet.
2. Consistency concept: This concept requires that an accounting estimate or principle is consistently applied. However, if there is a change in an accounting estimate, the effect of the change needs to be disclosed in the final accounts.
3. Going concern concept: A business is assumed to continue indefinitely in life. Therefore, assets and liabilities are stated at their cost or fair values. Where there is a contrary view, this must be disclosed and accounts be kept to reflect the revised view. Then, assets and liabilities will reflect market or disposal values.
4. Materiality concept: This concept requires that values in accounts be material. Though, materiality is a matter of judgement, a threshold can be established based on the value of the individual item to the value of the business. Will its disclosure or not affect decisions of a knowledgeable investor or analyst, is a consideration under the materiality concept. The office stationery can be expensed in the income statement if the amount involved is not material, even though, they will continue to be used in the business for more than a year. This somehow contradicts the concept of the matching principle.
5. Accrual Concept: The concept states that "Revenue is recognized when earned, and expenses are recognized when assets are consumed," and not when cash is received or paid. This unpaid electricity bill for £900 must be accrued in the income statement as an expense and treated as a liability in the balance sheet in line with the accrual concept.
Explanation:
These are the basic accounting concepts:
1. Accruals concept
2. Conservatism concept
3. Consistency concept
4. Economic entity concept
5. Going concern concept
6. Matching concept
7. Materiality concept
Saturn and Jupiter both have large quantities of liquid
hydrogen and liquid metallic hydrogen while Neptune and Uranus just have the
gaseous form of hydrogen because they are too little to compress hydrogen to
its metallic state. Also, the two latter planets have icy cores.
Answer:
Reduction in supply
Explanation:
Equilibrium is when demand matches supply. At the equilibrium price, the market has no excess demand or supply or demand. Changes in either supply or demand affects the equilibrium price and quantity.
A reduction in supply while demand remains constant results in buyers competing for few products in the market. A scarcity will emerge as the supply cannot satisfy demand. The supply curve shifts outwards or to the right creating a new equilibrium point. The new price will at a higher point in the graph, and the quantity will decrease.
