The George Company has a policy of maintaining an end-of-month cash balance of at least $40,000. In months where a shortfall is

expected, the company can draw in $1,000 increments on a line of credit it has with a local bank, at an interest rate of 12% per annum. All borrowings are assumed for budgeting purposes to occur at the beginning of the month, while all loan repayments (in $1,000 increments of principal) are assumed to occur at the end of the month. Interest is paid at the end of each month. For April, an end-of-month cash balance (prior to any financing and interest expense) of $14,000 is budgeted; for May, an excess of cash collected over cash payments (prior to any interest payments and loan repayments) of $31,200 is anticipated.
a. What is the interest payment estimated for April (there is no bank loan outstanding at the end of March)? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
b. What is the total financing effect (cash interest plus loan transaction) for May? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer:

A.$130

B. $13,130

Explanation:

Loan taken at the beginning of april in order to maintain cash balance of $40,000 = $40,000 - $27,200 = $12,800 = $13,000 (Increment of $1,000)

Interest payment estimated for april = $13,000*12%*1/12 = $130

Solution b:

Cash balance at the end of april = $27,200 + $13,000 - $130 = $40,070

Cash balance at the end of may before financing effect = Cash balance at the beginning + Excess of cash collected over cash payments

= $40,070 + $31,200 = $71,270

Total financin effect for may = Loan repayment + Interest repayment = $13,000 + $13,000*12%*1/12 = $13,130

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation: The three options listed could explain why the productivity of labor increased with a reduction in the quantity of labor hired. The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more inputs of production are added, a time comes in when additional inputs causes no corresponding increase in productivity. At points like this a reduction in the input added would restore productivity.

Reducing the amount of labor obviously is a labour saving technical change. Changes in organizational innovation can also result in changes in productivity.

Suppose independent truckers operate in a perfectly competitive constant cost industry. If these firms are earning positive econ
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The price of trucking services would fall until equilibrium prices are reached. Only normal profit would be earned in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $13 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price = $13 per unit

Variable expense = $11 per unit

Fixed expense = $4,600

Computation:

Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed expense / [Selling price - Variable expense]

Break-even point in unit sales = 4,600 [13-11]

Break-even point in unit sales = 2,300 units

Contribution margin = [(13-11)] / 13 = 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales =  Fixed expense / Contribution margin

Break-even point in dollar sales = $4,600 / 15.38%

Break-even point in dollar sales = $29,908.97 (Approx)

New break-even point in unit sales = [4,600+600][13-11]

New break-even point in unit sales = 2,600 units

New break-even point in dollar sales =  Fixed expense / Contribution margin

New break-even point in dollar sales = $5,200 / 15.38%

New break-even point in dollar sales = $33,810.14 (Approx)
