A mother earned ​$ 7500.00 from royalties on her cookbook. she set aside​ 20% of this for a down payment on a new home. the bala
Marina CMI [18]
Amount of money deposited in the two accounts is 80% of 7500$.
Amount of money in the two accounts = 0.8 * 7500 = 6000$

Now assume that the amount deposited in CD account is m and the amount deposited in the saving bond is n.
m + n = 6000 
Therefore: m = 6000 - n ................> equation I

Now we write another equation expressing the savings:
0.04m + 0.07n = 360 ............> equation II

Substitute with equation I in equation II:
0.04 (6000-n) + 0.07n = 360
240 - 0.04n + 0.07n = 360
0.03n = 120
n = 4000 $

Substitute with n in equation I to get the value of m as follows:
m = 6000 - n = 6000 - 4000 = 2000

Based on these calculations:
The amount of money deposited in the CD = 2000$
The amount of money deposited in the saving account = 4000$

Giving the following information:

Make in-house:

Direct material $ 8

Direct labor 24

Overhead 40

Total costs per unit $72

Buying price= $60

<u>We need to determine which option provides the lower cost. Because 40% of overhead will remain constant, we have to take it out of the equation.</u>

<u>Production cost:</u>

Direct material $ 8

Direct labor 24

Overhead= 40*0.6= 24

Barnes Company reports the following operating results for the month of August: sales $305,000 (units 5,000); variable costs $21
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

1. $30,500;

2. $30,000;

3. $22,000;

=> Option 1 produce the highest net income.

Explanation:

We have sell price per unit = 305K /5K = $61

1.  Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume:

Sell price = 61 x 1.1 = $67.1

Sales revenue = 67.1 x 5,000 = $335,500

Increase in sales revenue = 335.5K - 305K = $30,500

As costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,500.

2.  Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales:

New variable cost = $305,000 x 60% = $183,000

Saving in variable cost = 213K - 183K = $30,000

As fixed cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $30,000

3. Reduce fixed costs by $22,000:

As variable cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in fixed cost which is $22,000

What is one of the three functions of the central vision area of a driver?
ruslelena [56]
Although the focus vision is the one responsible for the targeting function, it is the central vision that allows the viewing of the line of sight to the target area. It is the central vision that allows a relative focus for mid distances and blurring of what's around. It is important on a motorway, for example, as what's ahead is the most important once there isn't people or very busy areas around.
