Answer:

Explanation:

a) To maximise profit, we would charge a price of 7 for adults and a price of 4 for children.

Profit would be = 7 x 300 + 4 x 200

Profit = 2900

This is the maximum profit other than fixed cost

b) If we have to keep one price of the ticket, then it would be 7. This would yeild a profit of 2100

c) From the law, the adults dont get any benefit, rather the children are in best position of free ticket

d) Fixed cost wont effect the answers above as long as the price and numbers of participants wont change

Large aircraft producers such as the Boeing Company normally use: Select one: a. Job order costing. b. Process costing. c. Mixed
insens350 [35]

Answer: Job order costing

Explanation:

The costing of work orders or job costing refers to the method for distributing and collecting production costs to a specific production unit. The costing method for job orders is implemented when the different items generated vary significantly from one another and each one has a substantial cost.

     The job cost documents also perform as the conglomerate ledger for the expense of the job-in-process stock, the stock of finished products, and the charge of selling products to the supplier. Because there is a considerable difference in the produced goods, a separate department order cost report for each individual item is required for the job order pricing system.

On July 1, 20x1, Fox Co. purchased as a held-to-maturity investment $5,000,000 of Owl, Inc.'s 8% bonds for $4,580,000, including
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,556,500

Explanation:

The carrying amount of bonds = $4,580,000 - $50,000

The carrying amount of bonds = $4,530,000

Amortization of discount from july 1 to dec 31 (6 months):

Interest Revenue = $4,530,000* 10% * 6/12

Interest Revenue= $226500

Interest Receivable = $5,000,000 * 8% * 6/12

Interest Receivable = $200000

Discount amortized =Interest Revenue - Interest Receivable

Discount amortized = $226500 - $200000

Discount amortized = $26500

So:

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,530,000 + $26500

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,556,500

Mikey is very picky and insists that his mom make his breakfast with equal parts of cereal and apple juice any other combination
timofeeve [1]

Answer: Mikey's mom will buy 80 tablespoons each of cereal and juice. Option C.

Explanation:

We will get the correct option by calculating each option thus:

Cereal = 4 cents per tablespoon.

Juice = 6 cents per tablespoon.

Option A. 40 tablespoons of cereal and 75 tablespoons of juice.

40 tablespoons of cereal X 4 cents = 160 cents = $1.6

75 tablespoons of juice X 6 cents = 450 cents = $4.5

Option A gives a total of $6.1 (WRONG).

Option B. 100 tablespoons of cereal and 67 tablespoons of juice

100 tablespoons of cereal X 4 cents = 400 cents = $4

67 tablespoons of juice X 6 cents = 372 cents = $3.72

Option B gives a total of $7.72 (WRONG).

Option C. 80 tablespoons each of cereal and juice.

80 tablespoons of cereal X 4 cents = 320 cents = $3.2

80 tablespoons of juice X 6 cents = 480 cents = $4.8

Option C gives a total of $8 (CORRECT)

Option D. 40 tablespoons each of cereal and juice.

40 tablespoons of cereal X 4 cents = 160 cents = $1.6

40 tablespoons of juice X 6 cents = 240 cents = $2.4

Option D gives a total of $4 (WRONG)

Therefore, the correct option is C.
