Answer:

increase in income = $18736

Explanation:

solution

we consider here 2 case

case 1 is

Credit Sales with bad debt estimation @ 2.2%

and

Case 2 is

Cash Sales only

so as in both the cases we are indifferent towards cash sales of $135000 as Gilmore would earn the same margin and there is no bad debt scenario.

so in case 1  gross margin is  

Gross Margin = 20% of 512000

Gross Margin  = $102400

and

Bad Debt Estimation @ 2.2% is  = $11264

so Net Margin =  $102400  -$11264  =

Net Margin =  $91136

and

in case 2 is

as company have gone for all cash sales then it will able to sell $150000 less

so cash Sales =  512000 – 150000

cash Sales = $362000    

and

Margin = 20% of 362000

Margin = $ 72400

so that  increase in income from operations by selling on credit is

increase in income from operations by selling on credit = 91136 - 72400

increase in income = $18736

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

44,780 units

Explanation:

When a company uses the weighted average method in its process costing system, the beginning inventory nor the units transferred in are included in the calculations for equivalent units. Only units transferred out and ending inventory are use to calculate equivalent units:

equivalent units = units transferred out + (ending inventory x % of completion)}

equivalent units = 37,100 units + (9,600 units x 80%) = 37,100 units + 7,680 units = 44,780 units

Rick has met with the Small Business Administration, which analyzed his entrepreneurial skills and provided him with a summary o
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

c) Rick has an external locus of control.

Explanation:

What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.

The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.

During the current year, Elk Company incurred the following direct labor costs: January $40,000 and February $60,000. Elk uses a
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

January Overheads are <u>under-applied</u> by $2,000.

Explanation:

When,

Actual overheads > Applied overheads we say overheads are under-applied.

Actual overheads < Applied overheads we say overheads are over-applied.

Where,

Applied overheads = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual Activity

Therefore,

Applied overheads (January) = 120% × $40,000

                                                = $48,000

Actual overheads (January) = $50,000.

Conclusion

It can be seen that from the above : Actual overheads : $50,000 > Applied overhead : $48,000, therefore overheads were under-applied.

Amount of under-applied overheads = $50,000 - $48,000

                                                             = $2,000

A low inflation rate is preferred because...
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

the correct answer is  low inflation indicates steady growth

Explanation:

inflation can be explained as the increase in the general price level of a country over a specific period of time. this is an indicator of the rise in the price of the goods and services of a country and indirectly can show the standard of living, economic growth and the purchasing power of an economy.

Generally, the inflation is said to be in an healthier range when it is between 1% and 5%, it is regarded as good when it is below 10% and said to be unhealthy when it is over 10%.

when the inflation is low, the price levels rise systematically and gradually. this allows business and investors to predict the economy more accurately and preserves the purchasing power of the currency and money, which is good for both investments, national and international trade.

moreover, when the inflation is lower, the cost of capital financing remains low as well. and the real interest rates are higher too.
