Stu owns an ice cream parlor that is usually closed during the winter. This winter, however, Stu is considering opening his busi

ness in February instead of March. If Stu opens his store in February, he will earn total revenue of $4,000 for the month, incurring variable costs of $3,500 and fixed costs of $1,500. If the store remains closed during February, Stu will earn no revenues and incur fixed costs of $1,500. Stu should:
a) open in February because the $4,000 of total revenue exceeds the $3,500 of variable costs.
b) stay closed in February because he will lose $1,000 if he opens.
c) stay closed in February because the $500 of operating profit is insufficient to cover the $1,500 of fixed costs.
d) open in February because the $4,000 of total revenue exceeds the $1,500 of fixed costs.

Answer:

a) open in February because the $4,000 of total revenue exceeds the $3,500 of variable costs.

Explanation:

In the short run, when the demand for a product decreases below break even point, a business should remain in operations as long as the total revenues are equal or larger than variable costs.

In this case Stu will only earn $4,000, which is not enough to make a profit, but will cover all the variable costs. If he remains closed during February, he will still have to pay $1,500 in fixed costs.

Rufina [12.5K]

The question is incomplete:

If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.

Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

b. increasing at a decreasing rate.

c. increasing at a constant rate.

d. decreasing.

Answer:

a. increasing at an increasing rate.

Explanation:

To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.

You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

Golden Enterprises started the year with the following: Assets $107,000; Liabilities $37,000; Common Stock $67,000; Retained Ear
Tema [17]

Answer:

$3,650

Explanation:

Given that,

Assets = $107,000;

Liabilities = $37,000;

Common Stock = $67,000;

Retained Earnings = $3,000

Amount of net income:

= Revenue - Expenses

= $5,700 - $3,350

= $2,350

Closing retained earnings:

= Retained earnings at the start + Current year net income - Dividends paid

= $3,000 + $2,350 - $1,700

= $3,650

Therefore, the Golden's retained earnings at the end of the year is $3,650.

Anthony Finley wishes to become a millionaire. His money market fund has a balance of $287,270 and has a guaranteed interest rat
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

15 years

Explanation:

The target accumulated future amount is the future value of the initial investment(present value), hence, using the future value formula provided below we can determine the investment time horizon in years required to accumulate the target amount:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

FV=$1,200,000

PV=$287,270

r=10%

n=investment period in years=unknown

$1,200,000=$287,270*(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1+10%)^n

$1,200,000/$287,270=(1.10)^n

take log of both sides

ln($1,200,000/$287,270)=n ln(1.10)

n=ln($1,200,000/$287,270)/ln(1.10)

n=15.00years

belka [17]

Answer:

The correct Ending Balance = $ 390300

Ending Balance of inventory = $ 412500

Less Office Supplies   = $22,200

The correct Ending Balance = $ 390300

Goods already cosigned are the consignor's inventory unless they are sold. They are not included in the consignee's inventory. So they will be included in the ending inventory.The office Supplies are not the inventory goods. They are daily expense goods and are not included in the inventory.
