Brad Essary owned a small company that sold garden equipment. The equipment was expensive, and a perpetual system was maintained

for control purposes. Even so, lost, damaged, and stolen merchandise normally amounted to 5 percent of the inventory balance. On June 14, Essary's warehouse was destroyed by fire. Just prior to the fire, the accounting records contained a $136,000 balance in the Inventory account. However, inventory costing $16,900 had been sold and delivered to customers but had not been recorded in the books at the time of the fire. The fire did not affect the showroom, which contained inventory that cost $35,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

lost, damaged, and stolen merchandise normally amounted to 5 percent of the inventory balance. On June 14, Essary's warehouse was destroyed by fire. Just before the fire, the accounting records contained a $136,000 balance in the Inventory account. However, inventory costing $16,900 had been sold and delivered to customers but had not been recorded in the books at the time of the fire. The fire did not affect the showroom, which contained inventory that cost $35,000.

Accounting record= 136,000

Normal Damaged merchandise= 136,000*0.05= 6,800 (-)

Sold inventory= 16,900 (-)

Showroom= 35,000 (-)

kkurt [141]

Answer:

1,370.85 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Standard rate :

= Budgeted variable overhead costs ÷ Budgeted direct labor hours

= $13500 ÷ 640

Direct labor hours = $21.09 per direct labor hour

Standard time to produce goods :

= Budgeted direct labor hours  ÷ Production volume

= 640 ÷ 6,400

= 0.10 hours

VOH Efficiency Variance

= ( SH − AH ) × SR

where,

SH are standard direct labor hours allowed

AH are the actual direct labor hours

SR is the standard variable overhead rate

(SH − AH ) × SR

= [(4,200 × 0.10) - 485] × $21.09

= (420 - 485) × $21.09

= 1,370.85 Unfavorable

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

To maximize utility, Bill can will buy one banana and one apple.

Explanation:

Utility maximisation refers to the concept that individuals and firms seek to get the highest satisfaction from their economic decisions.

For example, when deciding how to spend a fixed some, individuals will purchase the combination of goods/services that give the most satisfaction.

The theory of Utility maximization highlights two fators

  • combination of goods
  • Highest satisfaction that is cost effective

if a banana cost half as much as an apple,

Cost of banana = cost of apple/2

cost of apple - cost of banana × 2

Assuming the cost of one banana is $1

The cost of buying 6 bananas = 6×$1 = $6

the same $6 can only buy 3 apples

Therefore the price of apples is $2

If the total amount available = $6,

It can purchase one banana and one apple.

A customer buys $10,000 of Government Bond Fund shares from Acme Investors, a fund sponsor and broker-dealer. Acme is the sponso
timofeeve [1]

Answer: customer will pay a sales charge

Explanation:

The statement which states that customer will have to pay sales charge in order to exchange shares within the family is not true. The fund family possesses an "exchange feature" at NAV. This means that the shares of one fund has the right to be redeemed and then reinvested in shares of another fund that is within the family without no sales charge.

For the customer that is exchanging Government bond Fund shares for the Growth Fund shares, tax event has occurred. Therefore, it will be expected that the customer's yield will reduce but that the capital gains will increase, because the person is moving from an "income" fund into a "growth" fund.

When Argentina fixed the exchange rate of their peso to the U.S. dollar, one outcome was: Group of answer choices Argentinean ce
MariettaO [177]

Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.

Explanation:

The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.

By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.
