Answer:

c) Hotel rates for AAA members are lower than for nonmembers.

Explanation:

In business, the term price discrimination refers to the strategy by which the seller charges a different price for the SAME product because the seller knows that the client will pay that price. The key word of this definition is that the seller is offering the <u>same</u> service/product but at different costs

If we take a look at our options we can see that a) offers a different service (one is overnight shipping and the other is standard), b) also offers a different product (first-class seats vs. coach), finally, c) offers the same product (the same hotel rooms) but non members pay more for the rooms than AAA members.

Thus, the correct answer is c) Hotel rates for AAA members are lower than for nonmembers.

Material 1 costs $7 a pound, material 2 costs $5 a pound, and labor costs $15 per hour. Product A sells for $101 a unit, product
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Some answers are attached below

Explanation:

We need to maximize profit -

Selling prices for A,B,C are given; Costs of materials 1,2 and labor are given.

Also given is that 1 unit of each product A,B,C requires certain units of material 1, material 2 and labor based on the table provided.

Profit for 1 unit of A = Selling Price - Cost = 101 - [(7*3)+(5*2)+(15*4)] = 10 $

Profit for 1 unit of B = Selling Price - Cost = 67 - [(7*1)+(5*4)+(15*2)] = 10 $

Profit for 1 unit of C = Selling Price - Cost = 97.5 - [(7*5)+(5*0)+(15*3.5)] = 10 $

LP Formulation

Maximize profit Z = 10A+10B+10C

subject to Constraints

3A+B+5C<=300 ----> Material 1 constraint

2A+4B<=400 ---->Material 2 constraint

4A+2B+3.5C <=200 ----->Labor

C>=10 -----> Product C Demand constraint

A,B,C>=0

Below is the solver solution and formulation table from Excel -

Maximum profit = 925 $

Porches, Inc. sells lawn furniture. Selected financial information for the most recent year is as​ follows:Beginning merchandise
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The operating income for the​ year is $97,000

Explanation:

For computing the operating income, first, we have to calculate the cost of goods sold. The formula to compute the cost of good sold is shown below:

= Beginning merchandise inventory + Purchases during the year - Ending merchandise inventory

= $33,200 + $92,000 - $35,000

= $90,200

Now, the operating income would be

= Sales - the cost of good sold - selling and administrative expenses

= $262,900 - $90,200 - $75,700

= $97,000

"Zurich Company reports pretax financial income of $70,000 for 2014. The following items cause taxable income to be different th
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

Income tax expense: The expense account that reveals the amount of pre-determined tax paid on income for a required period of time is known as income tax expense account. The following formula can be used to determine the income tax expense:

Income tax expense = (Income before tax\times Income tax rate

Income statement: This is the financial statement of a company which reports all the revenues that are earned and expenses that are to be expended by the company on the immediate accounting year. Income statement is also known profit and loss statement.

Rules for debit and credit:

  • When asset increases, debit it and when asset decreases, credit it.

  • When liabilities increase, credit it and when liabilities decrease, debit it.

  • When stockholders’ equity increases, credit it and when stockholders’ equity decreases, debit it.

  • When the expenses and losses increase, debit them and when the expenses and losses decrease, credit it.

  • When incomes and gains increase, credit them and when incomes and gains decrease debit them.

Earnings before tax: It is the revenue of a company before adjustment of tax. It consists of all operating expenses. It is the earning retained by the company.

1.) To calculate the taxable income and income tax payable:

    Particulars                              Current year      Deferred asset     Deferred liability

Financial income                            $70,000

Excess tax collected                      $16,000                                           $16,000

Excess rent collected                    $22,000              -$22,000

Fines (permanent)                          $11,000

Taxable income(IRS)                     $87,000              -$22,000            $16,000

Tax rate                                           30%                      30%                     30%

Income tax                                     $26,100               -$6,600              $4,800

Therefore, the taxable income is $87,000, and the income tax is $26,100 for current year.        

The taxable income is calculated by adding the income earned, which are eligible for taxation. The financial income is $70,000, the excess tax depreciation is $16,000 (which should be deducted), and the excess rent collected is $22,000. The fines are $11,000. It is taxable as it is permanent. Thus, the taxable income is $87,000. The tax rate is 30 percent. The taxable income should be multiplied with the tax rate. Thus, the taxable income is $26,100. It is income tax payable.

2.) To Prepare a journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income tax payable for 2014.

Date      Account titles and ex[planations      Debit           Credit

2014      Income tax expense                          $24,300

             Deferred tax asset                             $6,600

             Deferred tax liability                                                  $4,800

             Income tax payable                                                  $26,100

Therefore, income tax expense is debited with $24,300, deferred tax asset is debited with $6,600, deferred tax liability is credited with $4,800, and the income tax payable is credited with $26,100.

It is given that the income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable should be recorded. The income tax expense is $24,300, deferred tax asset is $6,600, deferred liability is $4,800, and the income tax payable is $26,100. The income tax payable is calculated by adding the income tax expense to the deferred tax asset and deducting the obtained value from the liability. Thus, $24,300 is added to $6,600 and deducted by $4,800 and $26,100. Therefore, the income tax expense is debited with $24,300, deferred tax asset is debited with $6,600, deferred tax liability is credited with $4,800, and the income tax payable is credited with $26,100.

3.) To Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2014.

                                      Income Statement

Particulars                                             Amount       Amount

Income before taxes                                                 $70,000

Income tax expenses current             $26,100

Income tax expenses deferred          -$1,800         $24,300

Net income(loss)                                                       $45,700

It is given that the income before taxes is $70,000, income tax expense of current year is $26,100, and for the deferred year is $1,800. The net income tax expense is $24,300. The net income is calculated by deducting the income before taxes from the income tax expenses. Thus, $24,300 is deducted from $70,000. Therefore, the net income is $45,700.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Direct labor cost= $31,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 48,000 units

Standard time= 3 minutes per unit

Rate= $13 per hour

First, we need to calculate the number of hours required:

The proportion of minuted per hour= 3/60= 0.05

Number of hours= 48,000*0.05= 2,400 hours

Now, the direct labor cost:

Direct labor cost= 2,400*13= $31,200

Suppose our firm produces chartered business flights with capital (planes) and labor (pilots) in fixed proportion (i.e. one pilo
qaws [65]

Answer:

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same

Explanation:

One pilot for each plane implies A = B

Let cost be C

So, isocost line is xA + rB = C

So, xA + yA = C (as L = K)

So, (x+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x+y) =B

Optimal capital labor ratio = B/A = 1 as B =A

Now, wage rate increases to x'

So, isocost line is x'A + yB = C

So, x'A + yA = C (as A = B)

So, (x'+y)A = C

So, A = C/(x'+y) = B

New optimal capital labor ratio =B/A = 1 as B = A

Thus, optimal capital labor ratio remains same because capital (planes) and labor (pilots) are used in fixed proportion.

Thus the answer is

C. optimal capital labor ratio remains the same
