Sometimes they don’t want loose change in their wallets, pockets, etc. Coins are pretty heavy as well.

Also, with credit card you can track your purchases. Everything is linked to your card. With cash, it’s not linked to your name, if you lose it there is no way to prove that you are the rightful owner.

Novay_Z [31]

<span>Profit is the payment to entrepreneurship. When the entity’s amount earned exceeds the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing something and it has a financial gain, this is then the term we call the profit. This is what an entity obtains when the amount of revenue from a business activity exceeds the expenses, costs and taxes which are all needed to sustain the activity.

Answer:

July 19

Cash $792

Discount expense $8

Account Receivable $800

Explanation:

The term 1/15, n/30 mean there is a discount of 1% is available on the sales value, if payment is made within 15 days of sale with credit term of 30 days.

The sale of $900 was made on July 10 and discount period is until July 25.

On July 12 goods amounting $100 was returned and now the amount due from the customer is $800 ( $900 - $100 ).

The payment made on July 19 is actually in the discount period and it is eligible for the discount as it is made before July 25.

Discount = Amount due x Discount rate

Discount = $800 x 1% = $8

$792 Cash received against the sale made on July 10 and discount $8 is expensed. Total of $800 is credited from the account receivable account to eliminate it.

A manager checked production records and found that a worker produced 160 units while working 40 hours. In the previous week, th

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A. 4; 3.83 units per hour

B. Increases by 4.44%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current period:

Output = 160 units

Input = 40 hours

Previous period:

Output = 138 units

Input = 36 hours

A. Current period productivity:

= Current period output ÷ Current period input

= 160 units ÷ 40 hours

= 4 units per hour

Previous period productivity:

= Previous period output ÷ Previous period input

= 138 units ÷ 36 hours

= 3.83 units per hour

B. Percentage change in worker's productivity:

= [(change in productivity) ÷ Previous period productivity] × 100

= [(4 - 3.83) ÷ 3.83] × 100

= (0.17 ÷ 3.83) × 100

= 0.0444 × 100

= 4.44%

Therefore, the worker's productivity increases by 4.44%.

Coache Corporation is considering a capital budgeting project that would require an investment of $120,000 in equipment with a 4

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

a. $44,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total cash flow net of income taxes in year 3 is shown below:

= Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense - income tax expense + depreciation expense

= $310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000 - $6,000 + $30,000

= $44,000

Since depreciation is a non-cash expense so it would be added back to the computation part

The depreciation expense would be

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($120,000 - $0) ÷ (4 years)

= ($120,000) ÷ (4 years)

= $30,000

And, the income tax expense would be

= (Incremental sales - annual incremental cash operating expenses - one-time renovation expense - depreciation expense) × tax rate

= ($310,000 - $230,000 - $30,000 - $30,000) × 30%

= $20,000 × 30%

= $6,000

A firm has determined its cost of each source of capital and its optimal capital structure which is comprised of the following s

barxatty [35]

Answer:

10.25%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Long-term debt = 45%, after-tax cost = 7%

Preferred stock = 15%, after-tax cost = 10%

Common stock equity = 40%, after-tax cost = 14%

Now,

The weighted average cost of capital for this firm will be calculated as:

= Long term debt × after-tax cost + Preferred stock × after-tax cost + Common stock equity × after-tax cost

= 0.45 × 0.07 + 0.15 × 0.10 + 0.40 × 0.14

= 0.0315 + 0.015 + 0.056

= 0.1025

= 0.1025 × 100%

= 10.25%
