Answer:

•8.74 pounds of robust blend

• 1.25 pounds of mild blend

Explanation:

We are given:

•12 ounces, 6 ounces of mild blend Colombian beans

•4 ounces, 10 ounces of mild blend Brazilian beans.

From the question, we get the following equations:

1) Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

2) Brazilian: 4x + 10y = 760

Let's multiply the Brazilian equation by 3, we now have:

Colombian: 12x + 6y = 1800

Brazilian : 12x + 30y = 2280

Solving simultaneously, we have:

-24y = - 480

Therefore,

y = -480/-24

y= 20 oz

y = 20 oz ( divide by 16 to convert to pounds) = 1.25 pounds

Let's solve for x from Brazilian equation:

4x + 10y = 760

Therefore, since y = 20, we have:

4x + 10(20) = 760

= 4x + 200 = 760

= 4x = 760 - 200

= 4x = 560

Therefore

x = 560/4

x = 140

140 oz = 8.74 pounds

Therefore, they should make;

8.74 pounds of robust blend and 1.25 pounds of mild blend.

Answer:

1800ounces of robust blend requires 1350 ounces of Colombian beans and 450 ounces of Brazilian beans

760ounces of Mild beans requires 285ounces of Colombian beans  and 475ounces of Brazilian beans

the total of Colombian beans needed in both is 1350+285 =1635 ounce

the total of Brazilian beans needed is 450+475 =925 ounce

Explanation:

A pound of the robust blend requires 12 ounces of Colombian beans and 4 ounces of Brazilian beans

Let robust blend be represented as Rb

Let Colombian beans be represented as Cb

Let Brazilian beans be represented as Bb

  • The ounce is abbreviated oz
  • 1 pound is 16oz

1 pound of Rb = 12oz of Cb + 4oz of Bb

16oz of Rb = 12oz of Cb + 4oz of Bb( it is in ratio of 12:4 which is 3:1, meaning Cb is three parts of four while Bb takes one parts of four)

To make 1800 ounces of Rb

Divide by 4 = 1800/4 = 450

Brazilian beans is one part which is 450oz

Colombian beans is three parts = 3 x 450 = 1350oz

1800oz of Rb = 1350oz of Cb + 450oz of Bb

A pound of the mild blend requires 6 ounces of Colombian beans and 10 ounces of Brazilian beans.

Let mild blend be represented as Mb

Let Colombian beans be represented as Cb

Let Brazilian beans be represented as Bb

  • The ounce is abbreviated oz
  • 1 pound is 16oz

1 pound of Rb = 6oz of Cb + 10oz of Bb

16oz of Rb = 6oz of Cb + 10oz of Bb( it is in ratio of 6:10 which is 3:5, adding 3 and 5 we get 8; meaning Cb is three parts of eight while Bb takes five parts of eight)

To make 760 ounces of Mb

Divide by 8 = 760/8 = 95

Colombian beans is three parts of eight which is 3 x 95 =285oz

Brazilian beans is five parts of eight which is 5 x 95 = 475oz

760oz of Mb = 285oz of Cb + 475oz of Bb

1800ounces of robust blend requires 1350 ounces of Colombian beans and 450 ounces of Brazilian beans

760ounces of Mild beans requires 285ounces of Colombian beans  and 475ounces of Brazilian beans

the total of Colombian beans needed in both is 1350+285 =1635 ounce

the total of Brazilian beans needed is 450+475 =925 ounce

<u>Workings</u>

1)

The disparity between the net income and the cash floe are as a result loss of cash to operating activities as a result of  cash tied down to increase in receivable and inventory and also to an increase in payable leading to an overall cash generated by operating activities of 0

Moreover , a larger portion (300,000) of the opening cash balance(400,000) for the year was used in acquiring land and equipment and also 100,000 used in the redemption of bond. , even though this reduced the interest expense and improve equity , yet it was a big blow to the cash flow.

2)

The importance of cash flow is that it helps to analyse and monitor cash movement and cash available for the purpose of business activities towards liquidity and long term solvency.

3)

Renewable sources of cash flow are generated from the company's operating activities as the cash used for the financing and operating activities are generated from this medium.

4)

Suggestion to improve cash flow for Kappler are

  1. Reduce the level of inventory held
  2. Negotiate with the account payable for a longer trade payable payment period
  3. Reduce the trade receivable collection period
  4. Payment of dividends and redemption of bonds van be suspended till alter date when adequate cash is available
  5. it can also negotiate for external sources of financing

Texas Corporation is undergoing a complete liquidation and distributes land to​ Robert, one of its​ shareholders, in exchange fo
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

                                                                  = - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

Lena [83]

Answer:

(B) $38,446,000

Explanation:

Assuming a linear depreciation model, depreciation will occur at the same rate each year. Since the total after 15 years is 90% of the original value, the percentage depreciated per year is given by:

P= \frac{90\%}{15} \\P=6\%

The book value (V) of this purchase after the first year will be:

V=\$40,900,000*(1-0.06)\\V=\$38,446,000

Therefore, the answer is (B) $38,446,000
