Answer:

B

Explanation:

Money as a medium of exchange means money can be used a means of payment. That is, money is used is sorting everyday transactions. Recall that there are three motives of holding money;

1. Transactionary

2. Precautionary

3. Speculative

Transactionary motive means you can use money to sort your everyday transactions.

Precautionary motive - You can save money for rainy days. (i.e. accident, sickness etc)

Speculative motive means you can use money to invest - make investment decisions with money (buy treasury bills, money market fund instruments, currency, etc)

All of the above motives can not be achieved if money does not serve as a means of payment.

Money as a medium of exchange means the legal tender (money) has a government backing.

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

6.06%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return is shown below:

Given that

NPER = 20 years

PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000

PMT = $0

FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years

= $75,000 × 8.6487

= $648,652.50

The following formula should be applied

= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)

The present value comes in negative

After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%

Total collections               $44,190

b. A Schedule of Estimated July Cash Payments for Purchases

                                      June         July

Sales                         $42,000    $51,000

Ending inventory         18,000*    27,000

Beginning inventory   21,000      18,000*

Estimated Purchases 39,000    60,000

Payment for purchases:

50% purchase month              $30,000

50% following month                 19,500

Total payment for purchases $49,500

c. Selling and administrative expenses

Non-Cash expenses:

Depreciation expense $1,667

Cash disbursements:

Other fixed costs          5,333

Variable costs               6,375

Total costs                 $13,375

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Selling price per product = $30

Purchase cost per product = $20

Total sales dollars for next year = $720,000

Month Sales Revenue

May         $30,000

June          42,000

July            51,000

August     54,000

July 1:

Cash balance = $20,000

Merchandise inventory $18,000

Accounts receivable (sales) 23,000

Accounts payable (purchases) 12,000

Ending inventory = $27,000 ($54,000 * 50%)

Ending inventory = 50% of next month's budgeted sales

Selling and administrative expenses (excluding bad debts) for the year = $180,000

Fixed costs = $90,000

Depreciation    20,000

Cash fixed costs = $70,000

Monthly fixed costs = $5,833

Variable costs = $90,000

Variable costs per sales dollars = $90,000/$720,000 = $0.125

Cash variable cost for July $0.125 * $51,000 = $6,375

a. Schedule of Estimated Cash Collections:

Cash collections:                May        June         July       August
