Answer:

The optimal bundle is 6 pairs of dress shoes and 3 pairs of Crocs.

Explanation:

From the question,

Allowance (M) = $450; Price of dress shoes, Pd = $50; Price of crocs, Pc = $50

Note: MRS-price ratio, MUC- marginal utility from consuming casual Crocs ,MUD- marginal utility from consuming dress shoes

Optimal bundle is determined where MRS = Price ratio

MRS = MUC/MUD = 20DC/10C2 = 2D/C

Price ratio = Pd/Pc = 50/50 = 1

So, 2D/C = 1

       Therefore, C = 2D

Budget constraint:  M = Pd*D + Pc*C

So, 50D + 50*(2D) = 450

      50D + 100D = 150D = 450

So, D = 450/150 = 3

C = 2D = 2*3 = 6

During the current year, the Guileman Manufacturing Company signed a noncancelable contract to purchase 1,000 lbs. of a raw mate
Dovator [93]

Answer:

B) A loss of $6,000 in the income statement.

Explanation:

The appropriate journal entry should be:

December 31 (recognition of loss on purchase commitments)

  • Dr Loss on Purchase Commitments account 6,000
  • Cr Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments account 6,000

Since the price of raw materials lowered by $6,000, the company lost money on its purchase commitments:

Purchase commitments loss = contracted price - market value = $32,000 - $26,000 = $6,000

The loss on purchase commitments is an expense, and accrued loss on purchase commitments is a liability.

If the cost of the beginning work in process inventory is $56,000, direct materials cost is $346,000, direct labor cost is $212,
babunello [35]

Answer:

d. $878,000

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:

= Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work-in- process inventory - ending work-in-process inventory

= $346,000 + $212,000 + $315,000 + $56,000 - $51,000

= $878,000

We simply deduct the ending balance of work in process inventory and the rest items are added to find out the cost of goods manufactured

D. J. Masson Inc. recently issued noncallable bonds that mature in 10 years. They have a par value of $1,000 and an annual coupo
OleMash [197]

Answer:

$894.65

Explanation:

Given data:

n= time = 10 years

par value= $1000

annual coupon = 5.5%

interest rate = 7.0%

bond price = present value of interest + present value of redemption value.

present value of interest:

C = 5.5% of 1000 = $55

PV = C x (1 - (1 + r)^(-n)/r

PV = 55 x 1.07^(-10)/0.07

PV = 386.3

present value of redemption value:

pv = f / (1 + r)^(n)

where f = par value

PV = 1000 / (1.07)^(10)

PV = 508.35

summing up both values

508.35 + 386.3

= $894.65

McGuire Company acquired 100 percent of the voting common shares of Able Corporation by issuing bonds with a par value and fair
-Dominant- [34]

Answer: $650,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fair and par value of issued bonds = $150,000

Prior acquisition, McGuire reported

Total assets = $500,000

Liabilities = $280,000

Stockholders’ equity = $220,000

At that date, Able reported

Total assets = $400,000

Liabilities = $250,000

Stockholders’ equity = $150,000

Account payable to McGuire = $20,000

Total assets reported by McGuire after acquisition:

= Total assets + Fair value of investment

= $500,000 + $150,000

= $650,000

what would the length of time you have had a checking or savings account help determine your credit score?
GenaCL600 [577]

It shows a pattern of responsibility.

If you have only had accounts for 1 month, it doesn't really give a full picture of whether or not you always make your payments on time, etc. However if you have had accounts for 20 years, creditors have more history to look through to determine if you are responsible.

Keep in mind, checking and savings accounts are not the primary type of accounts that creditors want to look at because those only deal with spending money you already have. Lenders really want to know how you handle money that you <em>borrow</em>, such as school loans, credit cards, rent payments, and auto loans.
