Answer:

The interest is $189.78

Explanation:

The computation of the interest on January 20 is shown below:

= Principal × interest rate × number of days ÷ total number of days in a year

= $7,000 × 8% × 122 days ÷ 360 days

September - 10 days

October - 31 days

November - 30 days

Answer:

PED = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values, price elastic

Explanation:

the price elasticity of demand (PED) using the midpoint method:

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

% change in quantity = {(Q 2 − Q1 ) / [(Q2 + Q1)/2]} x 100 = {(200 − 300 ) / [(200 + 300)/2]} x 100 = -100 / 250 = -0.4
% change in price = {(P2 − P1 ) / [(P2 + P1)/2]} x 100 = {(1 − 0.75 ) / [(1 + 0.75)/2]} x 100 = 0.286

PED = -0.4 / 0.286 = -1.4 or |1.4| in absolute values

patriot [66]

Answer:

D. Americans purchase more Canadian made products.

Explanation:

The situation that would typically result from an appreciating U.S. dollar relative to the Canadian dollar is "Americans purchase more Canadian made products."

When Americans purchase more Canadian-made products, the Canadian dollar will rise or appreciate against the U.S. dollar. This is based on the principle of trade balance, whereby the monetary value of a country's imports and exports are evaluated over a given period.

In this case, the monetary value of Canadian exports against the U.S. dollar will indicate a positive trade surplus, hence, the Canadian dollar or currency will appreciate against the U.S. dollar.

Giving the following information:

Service department costs= $ 100,000: Period

Direct labor: wages 485,000: Product - DL

Direct labor: fringe benefits 96,000: Product - DL

Indirect labor: fringe benefits 31,000: Product - MOH

Fringe benefits for production supervisor 10,000: Product - MOH

Total overtime premiums paid 55,000: Product - DL

Cost of idle time: production employees 40,000: Product - DL

Administrative costs 150,000: Period

Rental of office space for sales personnel 15,000: Period

Sales commissions 6,000: Period

Product promotion costs 10,000: Period

Direct material used 2,100,000: Product - DM

Advertising expense 97,000: Period

Depreciation on factory building 116,000: Product - MOH

Cost of finished-goods inventory at year-end 115,000

Indirect labor: wages 141,000: Product - MOH

Production supervisor’s salary $ 46,000: Product - MOH

First, we will classify each cost as product/ period, and Direct Material (DM), Direct Labor (DL) and manufacturing overhead (MOH).

A) Prime costs= direct material + direct labor

Prime costs= 2,100,000 + (485,000 + 96,000 + 55,000 + 40,000)

Prime costs= 2,100,00 + 676000= 2,776,000

B) Manufacturing overhead= 31000 + 10000 + 116000 + 141000 + 46000= $344,000

C) conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing overhead

CC= 676000 + 344000= 1,020,000

D) Product costs= DM + DL + MOH= 2100000+676000+344000= $3,120,000

E) Period cost= 100000 + 150000 + 15000 + 6000 + 10000 + 97000= $378,000
