2. Situation: F signed a 60 days, 10% note when it purchased items from another company.

Account treatment: Record the liability on the balance sheet.

Does the amount of effort that you put into your courses increase or decrease the marginal cost of your education? Explain your
velikii [3]

The amount of effort that you put into your courses increases the marginal

cost of your education.

Marginal cost refers to the incremental cost which is accrued as a result of

increase in goods and services.

In this scenario, amount of effort put into courses entails more time and

money spent from buying of books and other materials. This therefore

depicts an increase in the incremental and marginal cost.

Suppose the tax rate on the first​ $10,000 income is 0​ percent; 10 percent on the next​ $20,000; 20 percent on the next​ $20,00

The marginal tax rate is the rate paid on the last dollar of income; this would be whatever tax bracket the family is in. The average price is the total tax divided by the total revenue. </span><span>

Family A: </span><span>

total income $40,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), and $10,000 at 20% (tax of $2,000). The last rate paid is 20% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $4,000, divide that by $40,000 total income, that is the average rate. </span><span>

Family B: </span><span>

total income $100,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), $20,000 at 20% (tax of $4,000), $30,000 at 30% (tax of $9,000), and $20,000 at 40% (tax of $8,000). The last rate paid is 40% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $23,000, divide that by $100,000 total income, that is the average rate.</span>

Electrodo Co. purchased land for $55,000 with $20,000 paid in cash and $35,000 in notes payable. What effect does this transacti
Archy [21]

Answer:

(c). Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000

Explanation:

Accrual basis of accounting attempts to record transactions as and when they arise and not on the basis of  when money is actually received or paid. Once a liability is certain, such a liability is provided for immediately.

The journal entry for purchase of Land partly by cash and partly for issuing a notes payable would be:

Land                                                  Dr. $55,000

     To Cash                                                          $20,000

     To Notes Payable                                           $35,000

(Being land purchased by payment of $20,000 in cash and a note being issued against the balance amount)

Land and cash are assets whereas Notes Payable is a liability.

So, the effect of the above transaction would be:

Net increase of $35,000 ( $ 55,000 - $ 20,000) as debit in fixed assets account increases their balance whereas cash being a real account, the rule being debit what comes in, credit what goes out. So credit in cash account would reduce the cash balance by $ 20,000.

Notes Payable account which is to be paid in future is a liability which shall increase the liabilities by $ 35,000.

So, the correct answer is (c), Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000.

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A. 37,500 balls

B.2.67

Explanation:

A. Compution for the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls.

First step is to calculate the Contribution margin

Selling price $25 100%

Variable expenses $15 60%

Contribution margin $10 40%

($25-$15)

Now let calculate the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls using this formula

Unit sales to break even=Fixed expenses/Unit contribution margin

Let plug in the formula

Unit sales to break even=$375,000/$10

Unit sales to break even= 37,500 balls

Therefore the CM ratio and the break-even point in balls will be 37,500 balls

b. Computation for the degree of operating leverage at last year

Using this formula

Degree of operating leverage =Contribution margin/Net operating income

Let plug in the formula

Degree of operating leverage=$600,000/$225,000=

Degree of operating leverage = 2.67 (rounded)

Therefore the degree of operating leverage at last year will be 2.67

Bartoletti Fabrication Corporation has a standard cost system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basi
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable

Explanation:

Actual variable overhead rate = \frac{Actual variable overhead}{Actual Hours} = \frac{66,170}{6,400}  = 10.34

Therefore variance with the budgeted standard variable overhead

= (Standard Overhead rate - Actual overhead rate) \times Actual Hours

= ($9.70 - $10.34) \times 6,400 = -$4,096

And Fixed Overhead variance = Standard Fixed Overhead - Actual Fixed Overhead = $69,000 - $74,000 = -$5,000

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = -$4,096 + -$5,000 = -$9,096

Since the value of variance is negative it means the expense both variable and fixed are over absorbed, which means it is unfavorable.

Total of the variable overhead rate and fixed manufacturing overhead budget variances for the month = $9,096 Unfavorable
