Answer:

0.811% per month is the amximum rate it can affor

or 9.732% annual rate with monhly compounding.

Explanation:

We have to solve for the rate at which the monthly payment equals 900 dollars.

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 900.00

time 240

rate r

PV $95,000.0000

900 \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-240} }{r} = 95,000\\

Given the complexity of the formula we solve using excel or a financial calcualtor

we write on a1 =PV(A2;240;95000)

on a2 we write any number between 0 and 1

then we use goal seek tool adn define that we want A1 to be 95,000 by changing A2 (which is the argument for rate)

the value of A2 after this is our answer:

900 \times \frac{1-(1+0.00811)^{-240} }{0.00811} = PV\\

PV $95,000.0000

For a recent year, McDonald's Company-owned restaurants had the following sales and expenses (in millions): Sales $25,700 Food a
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a. $9,338

b. 0.363

Explanation:

a. Contribution Margin  = Sales - Variable Cost

Where Sales = $25,700

Variable Cost = Food & Packaging + Payroll + 40% x General, Selling and Administrative expenses

V.C. = 8,982 + 6,500 + 40% * 3,700

V.C = 8,982 + 6,500 + 1,480

= $16,362

Therefore, Contribution Margin  = Sales - Variable Cost  

= $25,700 - $16,362

=$9,338

b. McDonald's contribution margin ratio  = Contribution Margin / Sales

= $9,338 / $25,700

= 0.363

Mar. 17 Received $275 from Shawn McNeely and wrote off the remainder owed of $1,000 as uncollectible.
kogti [31]

Answer: Please see the required journals below:

Mar. 17:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $1,000

Credit Accounts receivable $1,000

July 29:

Debit Cash $1,000

Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $1,000

Explanation: On March 17, when $275 was received from Shawn and the remaining balance of $1,000 was written off, the allowance for doubtful accounts has to be debited since the company adopts the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible receivables. Note that the allowance account would have the required buffer to take care of this debit. Similarly, when the recovery was made, cash would be debited then the credit would default to income statement.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

a. for pizza rises when income rises.

Explanation:

A normal good is a good that people purchase more when their income increases and that have a lower demand when their income decreases, for example, clothing. According to this, the answer is that Pizza is a normal good if the demand for pizza rises when income rises.

The other options are not right because a normal good is determined by the way in which the demand of a product behaves when the income increases or decreases.
