Publix has 2,700 pounds of bananas with a total cost of $864. Because the bananas have become too ripe, Publix is contemplating

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: an increment in profit $1615

Explanation:

2700 pounds of Banana

Total cost = $864

If sold = $1485

When converted into bread $2565 and sold at the cost of $4480

Oven rentage = $300

What is the incremental effect on income if Publix converts the bananas to banana bread?

Sales Amount - Expenses incurred

= $4480 - $2565 + $300

= $4480 - $2865

= $1615

If he had sold the bananas

Sales amount - cost amount

= $1485 - $864

= $621

By converting the bananas to bread the incremental effect on income is it would yield more profits at $1615 compared to when sold at which is $621

Your boss, Penny Dirks, has asked you to analyze the airline industry using Porter's Three Generic Strategies. Which of the foll

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Low cost companies, such as Southwest, Horizon, Frontier and JetBlue, are already one of the first options when organizing a trip. Flying is easier and more accessible every day, partly thanks to the low prices that airlines offer us, but also more uncomfortable, so you may ask yourself: what tricks do airlines use to make flying so cheap now?

Point to point routes. Low-cost companies do not offer transshipment services (network), so they save the cost of moving luggage from one plane to another and do not have to worry about the costs of connections between their routes.
Staff costs. When operating point-to-point flights and only short and medium radius, low cost never pay hotels to their crews to spend the night outside the airport where they are destined. Pilots and cabin staff always return to their base. In addition, their salaries are usually lower than those of traditional airline personnel.
Small airports. Operating in small airports and far from the main urban centers allows these airlines to avoid traffic jams, thus saving fuel and time.
Homogeneous fleet. Low cost usually use modern fleets and similar models, allowing them significant savings in maintenance.
Reduced services. These low-cost airlines do not serve meals, cut seat space and eliminate seat allocation, which saves a lot of time, but also money.
Additional income. Most low-cost airlines promote a wide range of gifts and lotteries on board, which gives them significant extra income.
It pays for everything. The reservation of tickets, billing at a counter and the right to carry a suitcase in the hold of the plane is paid with low-cost airlines.
Less expenses at the airport. Many low cost even give up having customer service offices, replacing them with call centers that involve a high cost of calling.
Public incentives. Many public administrations grant great economic aid to these low costs to prevent them from stopping to fly to their airports.
Very high rotation. Companies basically care about two things: get the maximum number of flights and fill the planes to the maximum. A plane is only profitable when it is flying, so more flights, more profitability.

On January 1, 2020, Tamarisk Corporation issued $700,000 of 9% bonds, due in 8 years. The bonds were issued for $740,784, and pa

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Cash 740,783 debit

Bonds payable 700,000 credit

Premium ob BP 40,783 credit

--to record issuance--

Interest expense 29,631.32 debit

premium on BP 1,868.68 debit

cash 31,500 credit

--to reocrd first interest payment--

Interest expense 29,556.57 debit

premium on BP 1,943.43 debit

interest payable 31,500 credit

--to record accrued interest at year-end on BP--

Explanation:

procceds 740,783

face value <u> 700,000 </u>

premium on bonds payable 40,783

When comparing, the firm received more than the face value hence, there is a premium on the bonds as the coupon payment are above the market rate.

Now, the interest will be calculate as follow:

carrying value x market rate:

740,783 x 0.08/2 = 29,631.32 interest expense

cash outlay:

700,000 x 0.09/2 = 31,500

amortization on premium (difference) 1,868.68

new carrying value: 740,783 - 1,868,68 = 738,914

second payment accrual:

738,914 x 0.04 = 29,556.57

cash outlay 31500

amortization 1,943.43

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of a machine over its useful lifetime.

There are different types of depreciation like the straight line , double declining and the units of production method.

<u>Workings</u>

Depreciable amount = 120,000-5000 = 115,000

Useful life = 4 years

Depreciation rate = 115000/4 = 25% = 28,750

2015 2016 2017 2018

Straight line depreciation 28,750 28,750 28,750 28,750

Double declining

Double declining rate = 25%*2 = 50%

2015 = 50% * 115,000= 57,500

2016

Opening book value = 115,000-57,500 = 57500

Depreciation = 57,500*50% = 28,750

2017

Opening book value = 57500-28,750 =28750

Depreciation = 50%*28,750 =14,375

2018

Opening book value 28750-14375 = 14375

Depreciation = 14375*50% = 7188

Units of production

2015 = 280000/1150,000*115,000 = 28,000

2016 =430,000/1150000*115000 = 43,000

2017= 360000/1150000*115000 = 36,000

2018 = 80,000/1150000*115000 = 8000

IF the machine was bought on July 1, 2015

Straight line depreciation

2015 = (25%*115000 ) /2 = 14,375

2016 =25%* 115,000 = 28,750

2017 = 25%*115000 = 28750

2018 = 25%*115,000 =28750

2019 =(25%*115000)/2 = 14,375

Double declining method

2015

(115,000*50,000)/2 =28750

2016

Opening book value =115,000-28750 =86250

Depreciation = 50%*86250 = 43,125

2017

Opening book value =86250-43125 =43125

Depreciation = 43,125*50% = 21,563

2018

Opening book value

43125-21563 =21562

Depreciation = 21562*50% =10,781

2019

Opening book value = 21562-10781 =10781

Depreciation = 50%*10781 = 5391

For $20 million, Ross Adams Mining acquired a tract of land containing a large deposit of anthracite coal. Ross Adams believes t

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

$6.25 per ton of coal

Explanation:

the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs

purchase cost = $20 million
restoration costs = $6 million

depletion base = $26,000,000

depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal

The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.
