Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

Saul and Pepper have been friends since kindergarten. Both Saul and Pepper have good part-time jobs. Pepper deposits a portion o
ella [17]

Answer:

1.  Both IOUs pay out the same amount of money ($107)

2. Saul’s loan from Pepper is less risky

3. Yes, Pepper should lend Saul the money. Yes, John should lend Jackson the money

Explanation:

1. Let calculate the amount of money to be paid on each IOU:

At the end of one month, Saul's IOU = $ (100 + 100 * 0.07) = $<u>107</u>

<u>Saul pays back $107 to Pepper at the end of one month</u>

At the end of three months, Jackson's IOU = $ (100 + 100 * 0.07) = $<u>107</u>

<u>Jackson pays back $107 to John at the end of three months</u>

<u />

Hence, both Saul and Jackson pay the same amount on their IOUs

Whilst both IOU of Saul and Jackson pay out the same amount, they do so under different time durations. Saul’s IOU to Pepper pays out the amount of money in a shorter duration of time (one month) as compared to that of Jackson which takes three months.

2. Saul's loan from Pepper is less risky. This is because Saul and Pepper have been friends for a verl long time (since kindergarten); that's ample time to have known one another. There is little to no surprise to be displayed between them as they pretty much know all there is to know about one another. This stands in contrast with Jackson with whom John recently became friends; although he has a reputation of being reliable but there is still a greater decree of uncertainty about him since its a new friendship. For example, Jackson could default on his IOU agreement.

On the other hand, while Saul's loan from Pepper is to be payed back in one month, Jackson's loan from John is to be returned over a time span of three months. This gives Jackson more time to spread out repayment much more conveniently than Saul but then again, that's what Saul spends most of his income on.

Saul is taking the loan to advance his investment in his baseball collection which could yield more income for Saul

<u>Hence, overall, Saul's IOU seems less risky</u>

3. Yes, Pepper should lend Saul the money. Asides the fact that they have been friends for over a decade (at the least), Saul already spends his income on building his baseball card collection anyway. It's a win-win for both party; Saul gets the satisfaction of adding an extra valuable card to his collection while Pepper gets the satisfaction of getting an extra $7 from her loan to Saul which she can add to her savings.

Yes, John should John lend the money to Jackson. Jackson already has a strong work and office etiquette which is evident by his reliability. Furthermore, if all goes as agreed, John and Jackson's new friendship could be further deepened and strengthened.

Which of the following is not a fee that contributes to the initial cost of leasing a car? a. First payment b. Final payment c.
Darya [45]

The final payment is <u><em>not </em></u>a fee that contributes to the original cost of leasing an automobile, option B is the correct answer.

<h3 /><h3>How is leasing charged?</h3>

The first payment is, predictably, the same as one month's rent.

A lender or lessor will impose an acquisition fee to offset the costs of establishing a loan or lease agreement.

A disposition fee, sometimes known as a turn-in fee, is a cost associated with returning a rented vehicle.

Therefore, final payment doesn't contribute to leasing a car.
