kompoz [17]

Answer:

$492

Explanation:

The computation of the total salary for the month is shown below:

= Base salary of a sales women + commission amount

where,

Base salary of a sales women = $420

And, the commission amount is

= ($8,200 - $7,000) × 6%

= $72

So, the total salary for the month is

= $420 + $72

= $492

Basically we added the base salary and the commission amount for computing the total salary

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

the  final payment that investor would received is $11,843.36

Explanation:

The computation of the final payment that investor would received is shown below:

Adjusted face value is

= 10,000 × (1 + 2.5%)^(3 × 2)

= 11,596.93

Final payment = Coupon + adjusted principal

= 11596.93 × 4.25% ÷ 2 + 11,596.93

= $11,843.36

hence, the  final payment that investor would received is $11,843.36

inysia [295]

Answer:

c. $385,958.90

Explanation:

<em>Step 1 Determine the Total Cost Incurred for Both materials and Conversion </em>

<em>Raw Materials</em>

Opening Work In Process                  $200,000

Add Cost Added during the year    $2,000,000

Total                                                   $2,200,000

<em>Conversion</em>

Opening Work In Process                  $200,000

Add Cost Added during the year    $2,500,000

Total                                                   $2,700,000

<em>Step 2 Determine the total equivalent units for materials and conversion</em>

<em>Materials </em>

Closing work in process 100 × 100%                         = 100

Completed and Transferred (600+200-100)×100% =700

Total                                                                            =800

<em>Conversion </em>

Closing work in process 100 × 30%                          =  30

Completed and Transferred (600+200-100)×100% =700

Total                                                                            =730

<em>Step 3 Determine equivalent cost per unit of materials and conversion costs</em>

Materials = $2,200,000/800 = $2,750

Conversion = $2,700,000/730 = $3,699

<em>Step 4 Determine the cost assigned to Ending WIP</em>

Materials  ($2,750×100)           = $275,000

Conversion Cost ($3,699×30) = $110,970

Total                                           =$385970

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$14,000

Explanation:

Company X                                               Company Y

cost per equipment $75,000                  cost per equipment $65,000

sales price $105,000                                sales price $91,000

Both companies sold one unit and they exchanged clients in order to reduce shipping cost:

company X income = $105,000 (selling price) - $75,000 (COGS) + $14,000 (money received from company Y) = $44,000

company Y's income = $91,000 (selling price) - $65,000 (COGS) - $14,000 (money given to company X) = $12,000

This exchange resulted in company X's income increasing by $14,000, while company Y's income decreased by $14,000
