Answer:

1) In general, is it a good idea to make only minimum payments on your credit cards?

No, the small payment requirement is mathematically guaranteed to keep you in debt for many years.

All you have to do is analyze the interest rates charged by the credit card companies and it is really difficult for any investment to match those interest rates.

2) Assuming you have $1,500 in your budget this month with which to pay down your credit cards, how much should you pay on each card?

I would start with the cards that charge the highest interest rates. I would pay the full balance of the department store card and the gasoline card = $600 + $300 = $900

Since I have $600 left, I would then pay the minimum payments for the cards that charge the least interest rates. I would pay $40 to Discover card and $60 to VISA.

The remaining $500 would be used to pay MasterCard 1 card and lower its balance.

High Country Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $80,000. The acquisition included 6,000 units of pro

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of gross profit that should be recognize

First step is to calculate the

A's sale value = 6,000 unit*12 per unit

A's sale value = $72,000

Second Step is to calculate B's sale value

B's sale value = 14,000 units*4 per unit

B's sale value= $56,000

Third step is to calculate the Total sale value

Total sale value = $72,000 + $56,000

Total sale value= $128,000

Fourth Step is to calculate the Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units and 2,000 units

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = ($72,000/$128,000) * $80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units = 0.5625*$80,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 6,000 units= $45,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $45,000*2,000/6,000

Cost of goods sold of A for 2,000 units = $15,000

Last step is to calculate the Gross profit of A for 2,000 units

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = (2,000*12 per units) - 15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $24,000 - $15,000

Gross profit of A for 2,000 units = $9,000

Therefore the amount of gross profit that should be recognize will be $9,000

You plan to invest in bonds that pay 6.0%, compounded annually. If you invest $10,000 today, how many years will it take for you

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The answer is 16 years.

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the value of an investment that is compounded annually is given by:

$V(n)=(1+R)^nP$

Where:

$n$ is the number of years the investment is compounded,

$R$ is the annual interest rate,

$P$ is the principal investment.

We know the following:

$25000=(1+0.06)^n \times 10000$

And we want to clear the value n from the equation.

The problem can be resolved as follows.

First step: divide each member of the equation by $10,000$ :

$\frac{ 25000}{10000}=(1+0.06)^n \times \frac{ 10000}{10000}$

$2.5=(1.06)^n$

Second step: apply logarithms to both members of the equation:

$log(2.5)=log (1.06)^n$

Third step: apply the logarithmic property $logA^n=n.logA$ in the second member of the equation:

$log(2.5)=n.log (1.06)$

Fourth step: divide both members of the equation by $log1.06$

$\frac{log(2.50)}{log (1.06)} =n$

$n= 15.7252$

We can round up the number and conclude that it will take 16 years for $10,000 invested today in bonds that pay 6% interest compounded annually, to grow to $25,000.

Cinnamon Corp. started business in 2007, uses a periodic inventory system and uses the weighted average cost method. During 2007

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

€4,883,000

Explanation:

The computation of cost of sales is shown below:-

Inventory = 35,000 ÷ €12

= 2,917 units

Weighted average cost of inventory

= (2,917 × €12) + (35,000 × €14)

= €35,004 + €490,000

= €525,004

So weighted average cost = €525,004 ÷ €40,833.33

= €12.85

So, cost of sales = weighted average cost × sold units

= €12.85 × 38,000

= €4,883,000
