The country of Baurisia has, until now, been self-sufficient in both grain and meat. However, with growing prosperity in Baurisi

a has come a steadily increasing per capita consumption of meat, and it takes several pounds of grain to produce one pound of meat. Therefore, since per capita income in Baurisia is almost certain to rise further but increases in domestic grain production are highly unlikely, Baurisia is soon likely to become an importer of grain.Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?A) When people increase their consumption of meat, they also tend to increase their consumption of grain.B) The per capita consumption of meat in Baurisia is roughly the same accross all income levels.C) Per capita consumption of meat has not increased substantially in recent years in those countries from which Baurisia is likely to import meat.D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.E) During Baurisia's years of growing prosperity, the country's population has remained relatively stable.

Answer:

D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.

Explanation:

The argument states that meat consumption in Baurisia is steadily increasing while domestic production is not.

There are two alternatives:

  1. import more grains to feed more animals and produce more meat (the argument favors this option),
  2. or simply import more meat.

But if importing meat is cheaper than importing grains, then there is no need to import more grains in order to feed animals and later get meat from them, you just simply and directly import meat.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

The returns of a capital amount to a compensation rate for depositing the money, to calculate these returns an interest rate is used by which the deposited capital is multiplied, in this case the rate is 4%.

As the money distributed is only the product of interest, then that money is the result of multiplying the capital by the interest rate, to obtain how much money Mr. Jefferson contributed, the reverse process will have to be done.

Answers

let <em>C</em> be the capital, then :

C\times4 \%  = 170500\\C\times\frac{4}{100}= 170500\\C=170500\times\frac{100}{4}\\C=4262500

The capital contributed by Mr. Jefferson was <em>$4,262,500</em>

maria [59]

Answer:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The estimated manufacturing overhead costs are​ $275,000 and an estimated​ 40,000 machine hours.

To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 275,000/40,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.875 per machine-hour

Cashen Co. paid $2,400,000 to acquire all of the common stock of Janex Corp. on January 1, 2017. Janex's reported earnings for 2
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

(D) $3,588,000.

Explanation:

Consolidated net income is defined as the sum of net income of the parent company (minus income from investment in subsidiary and unrealized income from downstream sales) plus net income of subsidiaries, which results after deducting depreciation (or amortization), income from transactions with the parent company and unrealized gains in inventories.

In the example, the parent company is Cashen Co. and the subsidiary is Janex´s. Recall that a parent company is one that owns more than 50 percent of the shares of the subsidiary, in this case, it is 100%.

According to the information provided, Cashen Co's net income was $ 3,180,000 and neither income from investment in subsidiary nor unrealized income from downstream sales is reported, so it is not necessary to subtract anything.

On the other hand, we know that Janex´s reported earnings totaled $432,000. However, the amortization of allocations related to the investments ($ 24,000) must be subtracted here. Therefore, the net income of that company was $408,000 ($432.000 - $24.000).

Finally, we add the net income of both companies. That is, $ 3,180,000 + $ 408,000 = $ 3,588,000.

<em>Note: I want to point out that there is a typo in the question. It says: "What is the amount of consolidated net income for the year 2010?", instead of "What is the amount of consolidated net income for the year 2017?"</em>
