Answer:

The best way to find terms of trade that will ensure that two entities are in the best terms of trade will be to look at the opportunity costs of the various products they produce.

A high opportunity cost in one product relative to that of the other entity means the entity with the higher opportunity cost should be trading with the entity with the lower opportunity cost and vice versa.

For example, assume that an entity "A" produces both rice and beans whilst an entity "B" also produces rice and beans too.

If the opportunity cost to A of producing Beans is 300 bags of rice whilst the opportunity cost to B of producing Beans is 120 bags of rice, and the opportunity cost to A of producing rice is 180 bags of beans whilst it is 250 bags of beans to B, the principles of comparative advantage require that A should focus more on producing rice and purchase beans from B whilst B should focus more on producing beans and purchase rice from A.

Cheers!

Answer:

$183,200

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct labor = $86,000

Total current manufacturing costs = $381,000

Manufacturing overhead is applied to production:

= 130% of direct labor cost

= 1.30 × $86,000

= $111,800

Total manufacturing costs = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead.

$381,000 = Direct material + $86,000 + $111,800

Direct material = $381,000 - $86,000 - $111,800

                         = $183,200

Therefore, the amount of direct materials used in production is $183,200.

You are a newspaper publisher. You are in the middle of a one-year rental contract for your factory that requires you to pay $50
Anettt [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Fixed cost is

= $500,000 + $1,000,000

= $1,500,000

And, the marginal cost is

= $0.25 + $0.10

= $0.35 per paer

Now

as we know that

AFC = FC ÷ Q

Now for At 1,000,000 papers,

AFC is

= 1,500,000 ÷ 1,000,000

= $1.50/mo

At 800,000 , it would be

AFC = 1,500,000 ÷ 800,000

= $1.875/mo

MC = $0.35 per paper  and the same is not changed

Now for break even, the average total cost is

ATC = AFC + AVC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + VC ÷ Q

VC = MC × Q

ATC = FC ÷ Q + MC

ATC = FC ÷ Q + 0.35

At Q = 1,000,000,

ATC = 1.50 + 0.35

ATC = $1.85

At Q = 800,000 , it would be

ATC = 1.875 + 0.35

=  $2.225

As it can be seen that

The AFC changes from 1.50 to 1.875 which shows an increment of 0.375.

The MC remains constant or same  at 0.35 as the printing and delivery costs per paper are remain same

And, The minimum amount that we must charge to break even rises i.e. from 1.85 to 2.225. That is a rise of 0.375

Trish receives $450 on the first of each month. Josh receives $450 on the last day of each month. Both Trish and Josh will recei
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The last option is the answer -$141.80

Explanation:

we will use the present value formula for Trish she gets paid every first day of the month therefore she will receive an immediate payment of cash flow which will be added to the present value of future periodic value. Therefore we will find the difference between present values for Trish and Josh which have the same amounts which they'll receive per month.

Given: Trish and josh both receive $450 per month therefore that will be C the monthly future payment that will be received.

They will receive these amounts in a course period of Four years so that will be n = 4 x12=48  because we know that they will receive these payments every month or on a monthly basis for four years. which n represent periodic payments.

i which is the discount rate of 9.5%/12 as we know they will recieve these amounts monthly.

Therefore using the following formulas for present value annuity:

Pv = C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i] and Pv= C[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i](1+i) then get the difference between these two present values for Trish and Josh.

therefore we will substitute the above values on the above mentioned formula to get the difference:

Pv= 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)]  - 450[(1-(1+9.5%/12)^-48)/(9.5%/12)](1+9.5%/12)    then we compute and get

Pv= $17911.77614 - $18053.5777

Pv = -$141.80 is the difference between the two sets of present values as one has an immediate payment and one doesn't have it.

Choose the correct statement(s) below regarding the direct write-off method for calculating bad debt expense.1.It is not normall
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

d. I, II and III.

Explanation:

Under the direct written off method, there is no allowance to be made so the journal entry is as follows

Bad debt expense XXXXX

      To Account receivable XXXXX

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

When it seems that the account is determined to be uncollectible that it would be recorded as a bad debt expense plus it results into overstated of account receivable i.e to be shown on the balance sheet. And, neither it is to be consistent with GAAP and the accrual accounting
