Answer:

Explanation:

A:

Number of contracts required:

= (0-1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -192

Since negative value, short 192 contracts.

B:

= (0.9 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -48

Since negative value, short 48 contracts.

C:

= (1.8 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= 96

Since positive value, long 48 contracts.

                    equipment’s productivity by 10% a year

                       Cash                                                                          $6,250

                    Being payment for equipment repair

     3.            Equipment                                       $14,870

                       Cash                                                                          $14,870

                    Being payment for equipment repair to prolong the useful life

                    the asset

Explanation:

The initial cost incurred in acquiring an asset is debited to asset account, subsequently every other cost spent on the assets are either expenses against the earning of that period or expensed over many years over the useful life of the asset.

Capitalization is the recognition of an expense as an asset in the balance sheet rather than expenses in the income statement.

The payment of $22,000 paid for the equipment productivity must be capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset because it is a cost that is  expected to increase the equipment’s productivity by 10% a year.

The  $6,250  paid for normal repair is a revenue items which is to be expensed against the earning of that period.

The $14,870 paid for repairs which will increase the useful life of the equipment from four to five years is a capital expenditure which should capitalized, that is added to the cost of the asset.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is A: interest= $21048

Explanation:

An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off at the end of its term. While each periodic payment is the same amount early in the schedule, the majority of each payment is interest; later in the schedule, the majority of each payment covers the loan's principal.

Each payment is the same ($49,148), but the proportions of interest and capital pay changes. The interest proportion decreases from pay to pay.

Loan= 186000

i= 15%

n= 6 years

First pay:

i=186000*0,15=27900

amortization= 49148-27900=21248

Second pay:

i=(186000-21248)*0,15=24712

amort=49148-24712=24436

Third pay:

i=(164752-24436)*0,15=21048

amort=49148-21048=28100

While payments progress, interest decreases and amortization increases.

Missing information:

How much is the value of full costing ending inventory?

Answer:

$8,750

Explanation:

1,000 units were produced and 800 were sold, so ending inventory = 200 units

total production cost per unit (under full costing) = $35,000 / 800 = $43.75

ending inventory = $43.75 x 200 = $8,750

Full costing basically refers to absorption costing, which calculates COGS using both variable and fixed costs (total production costs).
