Answer: 4 containers

Explanation:

The formula used to get the number of containers that are needed will be:

N = DT(1+X)/C

where,

N = total containers

D = planned usage rate used by the work center = 111 parts per hour

T = average waiting time = 100 minutes = 100/60 hours = 1.67 hours

X = inefficiency factor = 0.21

C = capacity of standard container = 5 dozens = 5 × 12 = 60 parts

N = DT(1+X)/C

N = (111 × 1.67)(1 + 0.21)/60

N = (185.37 × 1.21)/60

N = 224.2977/60

N = 3.738

N = 4 approximately

4 containers will be needed

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is 1400 and the industry is categorized as a competitive industry

Explanation:

The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is a market indicator that is used to measure how competitive the companies or firms in an industry is. It tells whether the industry is highly competitive or monopolistic.

It is obtained by adding the square of the market share of all the firms in an industry. That is,

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = s1 + s2 + s3 +....... sn

(where s = market share of individual firms in an industry.)

From the question,

Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) = (30)² + (20)² + 10)² +(10)² + (10)²+ (5)²            

                                                            + (5)²+ (5)² + (5)²

                                                         = 600 + 400 + 100 +100 + 100 + 25 + 25 +

                                                            + 25 + 25

                                                         =  1400

An industry with an Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of less than 1500 units is categorized as a COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY.

One with an index of between 1500 to 2500 is considered as moderately competitive.

While an industry with higher values of HHI tends towards a monopoly.

A company has $107,000 in outstanding accounts receivable and it uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

None of these

what would be the correct answer choice?

  • Assuming 5% of outstanding accounts receivable, the journal entry:

Dr Bad Debt Expense $ 6.320  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 6.320

Explanation:

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account  

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the  5% of outstanding receivables as debit.

Because the company has a credit balance in that account it's necessary to register an entry  that compensate the value as credit and reflect as debit the value estimated as 5% of account receivable.

  • Initial Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable                              $ 107,000

Dr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 970

  • The journal entry adjustment will be:

Dr Bad Debt Expense                                    $ 6,320  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 6,320

  • FINAL Balance  

Dr Accounts Receivable                                    $ 107,000

Arctic Cat sold Seneca Motor Sports a shipment of snowmobiles. The snowmobiles were delivered on January 1, 2021, and Arctic rec
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Assume the note indicates that Seneca is to pay Arctic the $39,700 due on the note on December 31, 2021. Prepare the journal entry for Arctic to record the sale on January 1, 2021.

Dr Notes receivable 39,700

    Cr Sales revenue 36,759.26

   Cr Discount on notes receivable 2,940.74

Discount on notes receivable is a contra asset account that decreases the net amount of notes receivable.

Assume the same facts as in requirement 1, and prepare the journal entry for Arctic to record collection of the payment on December 31, 2021.

Dr Cash 39,700

    Cr Notes receivable 36,759.26

    Cr Interest revenue 2,940.74

Assume instead that Seneca is to pay Arctic the $39,700 due on the note on December 31, 2022. Prepare the journal entry for Arctic to record the sale on January 1, 2021.

Dr Notes receivable 39,700

   Cr Sales revenue 34,036.35

   Cr Discount on notes receivable 5,663.65

Discount on notes receivable is a contra asset account that decreases the net amount of notes receivable.

Assume instead that Arctic does not view the time value of money component of this arrangement to be significant, and that the note indicates that Seneca is to pay Arctic the $39,700 due on the note on December 31, 2021. Prepare the journal entry for Arctic to record the sale on January 1, 2021.

Dr Notes receivable 33,900

    Cr Sales revenue 33,900

Explanation:

Non interest bearing notes must be recorded at present value, so we need to determine the present value of the payment:

Payment due December 21, 2021, PV = $39,700 / (1 + 8%) = $36,759.26

Payment due December 21, 2022, PV = $39,700 / (1 + 8%)² = $34,036.35

We use the discount on notes receivable account (contra asset account) to decrease the net value of notes receivable.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The answer is: D) $1.75

Explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price that a consumer is willing to pay for a good and the actual price paid for the good.

Larry, Alan and Ryan were all willing to pay more for a bottle of soda than the actual price of the soda.

  • Larry's consumer surplus = $2 - $1 = $1
  • Alan's consumer surplus = $1.50 - $1 = $0.50
  • Ryan's consumer surplus = $1.25 - $1 = $0.25

The total consumer surplus is $1 + $0.50 + $0.25 = $1.75
