<u>Answer</u>: Certain brand names, such as Kleenex or Xerox, have become generic name.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Generic name is the term used to refer a product with its brand name rather than the product itself. Kleenex  and Xerox are the brand names of the products. Xerox is photocopying product and Kleenex is the brand name for wet wipes. People commonly use the word Kleenex instead of tissues or wet wipes.

This process can be called as genericization and companies loose their trademarks due to these usage of names. These generic names have wide spread popularity.

Parton Company, a manufacturer of snowmobiles, is operating at 80% of plant capacity. Parton's plant manager is considering maki
ira [324]

Answer:

The answer is: a

Explanation:

The Parton Company has a 'make or buy' decision. This decision involves analysing the incremental costs associated with each option. Incremental costs are costs incurred as a result of producing one more unit of a product. If the excess capacity can be utilised to produce the headlights at a lower cost than the cost of acquiring the headlights from an external supplier, then the company should produce the headlights.  

The Parton Company incurs $12.80 per headlight purchased from the external supplier. Added to this cost, are the existing costs of operating below plant capacity. If making the headlights in the manufacturing plant yields a positive contribution to fixed costs, then the Parton company should produce the headlights in the manufacturing plant.

By producing the headlights, the Parton company gains a contribution to fixed costs of $1.03 per headlight.

Foregone purchase costs from supplier:                          $12.80

Incurred costs (directly) from production:                        ($11.77)

Direct materials                                                                     ($4.45)

Direct Labour                                                                         ($3.45)

Manufacturing Overheads: $(6.45*0.6)                               <u>($3.87)</u>

Net gain per headlight                                                           <u> </u><u>$1.03</u>

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

accounts receivable = $276,000

total credit sales = $1,000,000

3% of accounts receivable will not be decollete = $276,000 x 3% = $8,280

if allowance for doubtful accounts has a credit balance of $2,200, you must add = $8,280 - $2,200 = $6,080

the adjusting entry should be:

Dr Bad debt expense 6,080

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 6,080

Since allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account it has a credit balance that reduces the value of accounts receivable.

The risk premium two years back = 11.5 - 8.7 = 2.8 %

current risk premium = 2.8/2 = 1.4%

Current risk free bond yields 7.8 %
