Answer: b. The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers.

Explanation:

Real reciept = (Dollar amount) ×( Ending-period CPI) ÷ (Beginning-period CPI)

Here, Receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $1,515.8 million

Receipt for Star wars in 1977 = $798.0 million

CPI in 2012 = 229.6

CPI in 1977 = 606

Now, Real receipt of Star wars in 2012 = $((798.0) × (229.6) ÷ 60.6)

=$ 3023.45 ≈ Twice  of receipt for Avengers in 2012.

<em>[Twice of receipt for Avengers in 2012 = $3031.6]</em>

<em />

Hence, the correct statement is b."The real receipts of Star Wars were nearly two times greater than those for The Avengers."

ozzi

Answer:

Actual overhead= $153,400

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

During the year the company's Finished Goods inventory account was debited for $360,000 and credited for $338,800. The ending balance in the Finished Goods inventory account was $36,600.

At the end of the year:

Manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $15,900.

If the applied manufacturing overhead was $169,300.

Because the manufacturing overhead was overapplied, we need to subtract from the applied overhead to determine the actual overhead.

Actual overhead= applied overhead - overapplied overhead

Actual overhead= 169300 - 15900= $153,400

IgorC [24]

Answer:

a. $28.5

b. 12.28%

c.  $29.18

d. 13.09%

Explanation:

a. let current price = p

p*1.10 = 2(1-0.3)+30

= 1.4+30/1.10

= 31.4/1.10

= 28.5

the current price of the stock is approximately 28.5 dollars

b. (30+2 /28.5)-1

= 32/28.5 - 1

= 0.1228

= 12.28%

expected before tax rate is 12.28%

c. 3(1-0.3)+30 / 1.10

= 3*0.7+30/1.10

= $29.18

d. before tax rate of return

= (3$ + 30-29.18)/29.18

= 0.1309

= 13.09%

it is now higher here given that given that a greater dividend causes more tax burden.
