PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

a)

P 175

Q = 250

Profit6,250

b)

P 325

Q = 875

Profit 153,125

c)

Q = 1200

P = 260

Profit = 287,000

Explanation:

It maximize profit at MR = MC

MR = 200 - 0.2Q

MC = 150

150 = 200-0.2Q

Q = 50/0.2 = Q = 250

Price:

250 = 2000 - 10P

P = 1750/10 = 175

<u></u>

<u>Profit: revenue - cost</u>

$175 x 250 session - $150 per session = 6,250

<em>At new functions:</em>

150 = 500-0.4Q

Q = 350 / 0.4 = 875

Price:

875 = 2,500 - 5P

P = (2500-875)/5= 325

<u>Profit</u>

(325 - 150) * 875 = 153,125

<u>If cost changes:</u>

cost: 1000 + 20Q

marginal cost: 20

20 = 500 - 0.4Q

Q = 480 / 0.4 = 1,200

Price:

1,200 = 2500 - 5P

P = 1300/5 = 260

<u>Profit</u>

(260 - 20)Q - 1,000 = 287,000

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Explanation:

Cash.......1000

Merchandise inventory...12,500

Store supplies....5800

Prepaid Insurance...2400

Accounts Payable...................10,000

Sales..............................111950

Cost of Goods Sold....38,400

Store supplies still available at fiscal year-end amount to $1,900. Expired insurance, an administrative expense, for the fiscal year is $1,650. Depreciation expense on store equipment, a selling expense, is $1,600 for the fiscal year. To estimate shrinkage, a physical count of ending merchandise inventory is taken. It shows $11,000 of inventory is still available at fiscal year-end. 4. Compute the current ratio, acid-test ratio, and gross margin ratio as of January 31, 2018.

Therefore Balance Store supplies = 5800-1900

Prepaid Insurance = 2400-1650

Balance Inventory = 11,000

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current liabilities

Current Ratio = (1000 cash + 11,000 inventory + 3,900 Store supplies + 750 prepaid insurance) / 10,000 Accounts payable = 16650/10000 = 1.67

Current Ratio = 1.67:1

Acid test Ratio = Current Asset - inventory / Current Liabilities

(16,650 -  11,000 inventory - 3,900 Store supplies - 750 Prepaid Insurance) /10,000 = 0.1

Acid Test Ratio = 0.1:1

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales x 100

Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 111,950 - 38400 = 73550

Therefore Gross profit Margin = 73550/111950 x 100 = 66%

Gross Profit Margin = 66%

Cole Co. began constructing a building for its own use in January 2016. During 2016, Cole incurred interest of $50,000 on specif
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

The accounting procedure involved in the above is that one picks the lower between the actual interest incurred and the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditures for PPE.

The actual interest incurred on specific construction debt and other borrowings

= $50,000 + $20,000

= $70,000

Since the interest computed on the weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure for the building is $40,000 , the lower between the actual interest incurred and interest on weighted average amount of accumulated expenditure is $40,000, hence will be the capitalized amount.
