Answer:

Loss of $7,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing cost = $78,000

Residual value = $3,000

Useful life = 5 years

Selling cost = $8,000

Now,

Annual depreciation = [ Cost - Residual value ] ÷ Useful life

= [ $78,000 - $3,000 ] ÷ 5

= $75,000 ÷ 5

= $15,000

Therefore,

Accumulated depreciation of 4 years = 4 × Rate of depreciation

= 4 × $15,000

= $60,000

Therefore,

Book value at the end of 4 year = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

= $75,000 - $60,000

= $15,000

Since,

Book value at the end of 4 year is greater than the selling cost

therefore,

there is loss = Book value - Selling cost

= $15,000 - $8,000

= $7,000

Hence,

Loss of $7,000

Jones Company has the following data to make 10,000 seats for its bicycles: Variable Product Costs 80,000 Fixed Product Costs 10
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The company should make the bicycle seats.

Explanation:

Given:

Number of seats to be made = 10,000

Variable cost = 80,000

Fixed cost = 10,000

Outside source cost for seats = $ 8.50 per seat

Since, the fixed cost of the seats cannot be eliminated. Therefore, the deciding factor will only be the variable cost.

Thus,

contribution margin per unit seat if made by own

= ( Variable cost / Number of seats )

Or

= 80,000 / 10,000

or

= $ 8

now,

the making the seats by own is $ 0.5 cheaper.

Hence, the company should make the bicycle seats.

Total demand for money=Transactions demand+precautionary and speculative demand for the money

Which is not a part of your budget?
rewona [7]

Answer:

d.) discretionary expenses

Explanation:

We can explain going further into what is each item.

<u>A and B are your income </u>(for this question don’t sweat about the difference between gross and realized). They will constitute all the money you have in that period (the period will depend on the regularity of your income, it could be weekly, monthly, etc.).

Your fixed expenses are the things you will expend money on which, no matter what happens, will not change (it could be your rent, tax, health insurance, etc.).

Discretionary expenses, however, are costs that are things that you WANT, not NEED. It could go anywhere from a new shoe to a new boat (if you´re feeling rich, that is lol). That kind of expense will impact your available money (hey, nothing is free) but is not part of your budget as it is not a planned cost.

However, is important to note that if you wanna be super Monica Geller with your money you should forecast your discretionary expenses. Using your history as a base for calculating will eliminate most of the margin error.
