tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

kondaur [170]

Steadigen Company sells two generators long dash Model A and Model Blong dashfor $ 432 per unit and $ 410 per unit, respectively
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Contribution margin per unit = Sales -  variable cost

Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $432 - $404

Contribution margin per unit (Model A) = $28 per unit

Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $410 - $304

Contribution margin per unit (Model B) = $106 per unit

False, Contribution margin per unit (Model B) is higher so,  motivated to push sales of Model A will be false.

Break-even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit

Break-even in units (Model A) =  Fixed cost / $28

Break-even in units (Model B) =  Fixed cost / $106

   stock dividends payable            577,200 credit

--to record declared stock dividends--

stock dividends payable   577,200 debit

               common stock                156,000 credit

               additional paid-in            421,600 credit

--issued stock dividends--

retained earnings    11,544,000 debit

   stock dividends payable     11,544,000 credit

--to record declared stock dividends--

stock dividends payable   11,544,000 debit

              common stock                      3,120,000 credit

              additional paid-in                 8,424,000 credit

--issued stock dividends--

A 2-for-1 stock split NO ENTRY

Explanation:

<u>Stock dividends of 5%</u>

Shares outstanding 312,000 x 5% x $37 market price

15,600 new shares x $ 37 per share = $ 577,200

First we declare the dividend payable, then we write-off the payable and increase equity.

Common stock for the face value and additional paid-in for the difference:

15,600 x 10 = 156,000

577,200 - 156,000 = 421,600

<u>Stock Dividends of 100%</u>

312,000 x 100% x 37 = 11,544,000

same entries as before but, with difference number

face value 312,000 x 10 = 3,120,000

additional paid-in 8,424,000

<u>A 2-for-1 stock split</u>

No entry is required as the company will have double shares but with halft the value each. It will not effect the total market capitalization.

You are comparing two annuities that offer regular payments of $2,500 for five years and pay .75 percent interest per month. You
bixtya [17]

Answer:

E) Annuity B has a smaller present value than annuity A.

Explanation:

The main premise in finances is that the value of money increases in time, e.g. one dollar today is worth more than one dollar tomorrow.

In this case, annuity A is an annuity due (payment is made at the beginning of each period). An annuity due that has the same payments and the same rates, will always have a higher present value than an ordinary annuity.
