Answer:

A. $60

Explanation:

Recall that, consumer's surplus refers to the price that a consumer is willing to pay less the amount he or she actually pays.

Thus

Consumer surplus = maximum price willing to pay - actual market price.

Given that

Market price = $40

Vonda is willing to pay = $90

Aleiyah is willing to pay = $50

Hence.

Vonda consumer surplus = 90 - 40

= $50

Aleiyah consumer surplus = 50 - 40

= $10.

Total consumer surplus = 50 + 10

= $60.

likoan [24]

Answer:

overhead rate $4 per machien hour

applied overhead 1,560,000

The overhead was underapplied for 15,000

entry to adjust against COGS

Cost of Goods of sold   15,000 debit

            Factory overhead      15,000 credit

Explanation:

\frac{Cost\: Of \:Manufacturing \:Overhead}{Cost \:Driver}= Overhead \:Rate

we divide the expected overhead over the total amount of budgeted machine hours to determinate the overhead rate:

1,600,000 / 400,000 =  $4 per machine hours

Actual machine hours 390,0000

applied overhead:

actual cost driver x  rate per driver

390,000 x $4 = 1,560.000‬ applied overhead

Actual overhead 1,575,000

As aplies is lower, we should adjust for 15,000 difference

You want to buy a car, and a local bank will lend you $20,000. The loan will be fully amortized over 5 years (60 months), and th
EastWind [94]
Amortizing a loan P over n periods at i% interest / period, the payment per period is given by:
A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)

In given situation,
P=20000
period=month
i=10%/12
n=5*12=60 months

A.  monthly payment amount
A= P(i(1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)
= 20000(.1/12(1+.1/12)^60)/((1+.1/12)^60-1)
=424.98 to the nearest cent

B. EAR (effective annual rate)
the APR is 10%, but compounded monthly.
So 
EAR=(1+i/12)^12-1
=(1+0.1/12)^12-1
=0.104713
=10.4713%  (effective annual rate)
