Answer:
Customer and Product Margin under Activity-based Costing and Traditional Costing
True Statements:
1. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the customer margin under activity based costing will decrease.
2. If a customer orders more frequently, but orders the same total number of units over the course of a year, the product margin under a traditional costing system will be unaffected.
Explanation:
Customer Margin is the difference between the total revenue generated from a customer minus the acquisition and service costs. In the above instance, the customer margin decreases because of the costs of servicing the customer's frequent orders. Customer service costs are usually higher with more frequent orders, when activity-based costing is employed because frequent orders increase the activity level and the associated costs.
Product Margin is the profit margin generated per product. It is the markup on the cost of the product. It shows the difference in amount between the selling price and the manufacturing cost. Frequent orders cannot change the product margin under the traditional costing technique unlike it does with the activity-based costing technique.
Explanation:
The journal entries are as follows:
On July 1
Prepaid Insurance A/c Dr $20,700
To Cash A/c $20,700
(Being prepaid insurance is paid)
On December 31
Insurance expense A/c Dr $
To Prepaid insurance A/c $1,110
(Being the insurance expense is recorded)
The insurance expense is shown below:
= $20,700 ÷ 3 years × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $3,450
Answer:
$24135.72
Explanation:
Given pmt 320, r 9% n 5 years
This amount is paid monthly s\and there are 12 months in a year
r = 9%/12 =0.75%
n = 5* 12 =60
We will use the future value of annuity
FV = pmt *[(1+r)^n - 1/r)]
= 320 *[(1+0.0075)^60-1/0.0075
=$24135.72
Answer: Capital, Good Market Economy and Massive Urban Centres
Explanation:
Commercial sports are most likely to grow and prosper in societies with enough capital because for every buying and selling process, capital must be involved to set up marketable products. So, a commercial sport would require capital to have nice viewing areas, infrastructure and manpower.
Also, sports is incomplete without a massive urban center. A society with massive urban centres has a profitable potential for commercializing its sporting activities.
Lastly, a society with a good market economy that has its investment and production decisions dependent on supply and demand is a good spot for commercial sports.
