<span>Decrease by $57,400 per month.
Looks look at the cash flow for continuing to produce product a and discontinuing product a.
Continuing to produce
Income = 15900 * $29 = $461,100
Variable Expenses = 15900 * 23 = $365,700
Fixed overhead = $109,000
Total cash flow = $461,100 - $365,700 - $109,000 = -$13,600
So the Lusk company is losing $13,600 per month while producing product a. Let's see what happens if they stop producing it.
Income = $0
Variable Expenses = $0
Fixed overhead = $71,000
Total cash flow = $0 - $71,000 = -$71,000
So if they stop producing it, their fixed overhead decreases, but is still at $71,000 per month, for a total loss per month of $71,000.
The conclusion is to either lose $13,600 per month, or $71,000 per month. So if they stop production of product a, their loss per month will increase by $57,400.</span>
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash $8,730
Sales Discount ($9,000 × 3%) $270
To Accounts receivable $9,000 ($10,000 - $1,000)
Here cash and sales discount is debited as it increased the assets and discount while on the other hand the account receivable should be credited as it reduced the assets
Answer: c. small changes in economic growth rate lead to large GDP changes over time.
Explanation:
If there is even a small change in the rate at which the economy is growing, this increase will increase by even more the year afterward and then even more as time goes on. This is because the interest is being compounded overtime.
Look at the future value formula that shows compounding for instance:
Future value = Amount * (1 + rate) ^ number of periods
Assume even a change of 2% in the growth rate. In 30 years, this rate would have increased the economy by:
= 1 * ( 1 + 2%)³⁰
= 1.81
Which is a rate of:
= 1.81 - 1
= 81%
What started off as only 2% became 81% in 30 years. This is what compounding does.
