Answer:

a) The total dollar amount  = $513.2

b) The interest payment = $13.20

Explanation:

Use following formula to calculate the real interest rate:

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + Nominal Interest rate ) / (1 + Inflation rate )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 7% ) / (1 + 4.25% )

1 + Real Interest rate = (1 + 0.07 ) / (1 + 0.0425 )

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.07 / 1.0425

1 + Real Interest rate = 1.0264

Real Interest rate = 1.0264 - 1

Real Interest rate = 0.0264

Real Interest rate = 2.64%

a) The total dollar amount

A = P x ( 1 + r )^n = 500 x ( 1 + 0.0264)^1 = $513.2

b) The interest payment

Interest payment = $513.2 - $500 = $13.20

TiliK225 [7]

Identifying and removing employment practices which are working against minority applicants and employees is the affirmative action strategies would involve an employer changing the company policy or the way an organization is decorated.

Affirmative action includes a set of policies and practices within a government or organization which seeks to include particular groups based on their race, gender, sexuality, or nationality.

In no way does affirmative action require an employer to hire an unqualified minority over a qualified non minority, which is important to note. Thus, affirmative actions include outreach efforts, training programs, and other positive steps.  

Hence, affirmative action gives a certain advantage to the minority groups in the recruitment process.

All sales are made on credit. Based on past experience, the company estimates 1% of credit sales to be uncollectible. What adjus
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Explanation:

This is an example of provision for doubtful debts. Provision for doubtful debts is an estimated amount of bad debts from accounts receivables that has been issues but not yet collected. This is done under the accrual accounting concept where an expense is identified as soon as invoices have been issued rather than waiting long periods to find out which invoice is irrecoverable. It is typically an estimate based on past experience.

In this question, the sales value has not been provided, hence an assumption is made:

Sales : $200,000

If provision for doubtful debts is 1% of sales and all sales is on credit, then the provision for doubtful debts amount is = 1% x $200,000 = $2000

Provision for doubtful debts is an accounts receivable contra account and thus has a credit balance and is recorded in the balance sheet, listed directly under accounts receivables.

The entry is recorded as:

Debit : Bad Debts account : $2000 (appearing in the income statement)

Credit : Provision for doubtful debts account : $2000 (appearing in the balance sheet)

Bakery has bought 250 pounds of muffin dough. They want to make waffles or muffins in half-dozen packs out of it. Half a dozen o
Alina [70]

Answer and Explanation:

The number of packets of waffles is W

and the number of muffins are M

The weight of dough is 250 pound and a pack of muffins requires 1 lb of dough whereas a pack of waffles uses 3/4 lb of dough.

3÷4W+M≤250

Multiplying both sides by 4

3W+4M≤1000

It takes bakers 6 minutes to make a packer of waffles and 3 minutes to make a pack of muffins, the total time available is 20 hours or 1200 minutes.

3M+6M≤1200

Minus the initial equation from the new equation:

(3M+6M≤1200)−(3W+4M≤1000)

2M≤200

Dividing equation by 2

M≤100

For M≤100

3W+4M≤1000

3W≤1000−4M

For the Maximum values of M

the least value of W is obtained

3W≥1000−4×100

3W≥600

Dividing the equation by 3

W≥300

For maximum profit, the number of waffles and muffins is taken as 300 and 100 respectively :

1.5∗300+2∗100

=650
