Answer:

(B) $0.50

Explanation:

The total cost is a function of the number of maps sold and the number of books sold. To determine the cost of each, a set of equations have to be solved simultaneously.

Let the cost of a map be m and that of a book be b

12m + 10b = 38

20m + 15b = 60

6m + 5b = 19

4m/3 + b = 4, b = 4 - 4m/3

6m + 20 - 20m/3 = 19

2m/3 = 1

m = 3/2 = 1.50

b = 4 - 4m/3

b = 4 - 2 = 2

The cost of a book is $2 while that of a map is $1.50

Hence a map sell for $0.50 less than a book.

X = 0.20 
C = 10

Find the value of N.

N = DT (1 + X) / C 
N = [40/hr * 0.60 hr (1 + 0.20)] / 10
N = [24 (1.20)] / 10
N = 28.8 / 10
N = 2.88 or 3

Answer:

A corporation had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of this year.

                                                     Assets             Liabilities

Beginning of the year             $ 76,500             $ 32,796

End of the year                           132,000               53,460

    Details                                                a           b        c       d

1 Beginning of the year Equity    43,704      43,704    43,704     43,704

2 Owner's investment (+)                 -         -           45,000      35,000

3 Dividends (-)                                 -          10,200        -     10,200

4 Net income / loss (+)               34836     45,036     -10164       10,036

5 End of the year Equity          78540      78540      78540      78540

Explanation:

Equity = Assets - Liability

Beginning of the year = 76500 - 32796 = $43,704

End of the year = 132000 - 53460 = 78540

Net income = End of year equity -  (Beginning of the year Equity + Owner's Investment - Dividends)

a) Net income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                   = 78540 - (43704  + 0 - 0)

                   = 34,836

b) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                   = 78540 - (43704  + 0 - 10200)

                   = 45,036

c) Net Income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                       = 78540 - (43704  + 45000 - 0)

                       = -10,164

d) Dividend of 850 per month = 850 * 12 = 10,200

Net Income = 5 -  (1 + 2 - 3)

                     = 78540 - (43704  + 35000 - 10200)

                       = 10,036

Owner's investment increases equity

Dividends reduce equity

Net Income increases equity

Blue Co. had the following first-year amounts related to its $12,000,000 construction contract: Actual costs incurred and paid $
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

$900,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total amount excluding cash is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be done

% completion during the year is

= $3,000,000 ÷ ($3,000,000 + $6,000,000)

= 33.3333%

Now Total revenue to be recognized for the year is

= $12,000,000 × 33.33333%

= $4,000,000

Profit for the year is

= $4,000,000 - $3,000,000

= $1,000,000

Now Accounts receivables at the end of year is

= Billings - Collection

= $3,500,000 - $3,100,000 = $400,000

Now Cost and profits in excess of billings

= ($3,000,000 + $1,000,000) - $3,500,000

= $500,000

And, finally Total amount of current assets to be recognize at year end is

= $400,000 + $500,000

= $900,000
