Solution:
Slope = y2 - y1 / x2 -x1
slope = 81 - 111 / $2.00 - $1.25
slope = -30/$0.75
So every $0.75 increase causes a decrease of 30 sales.
So the rise over run or slope of the line is -30/0.75 = -40/1
Start forming the equation:
y = mx + b
y = -40x + b
Substitute one of the points to find the y-intercept:
81 = -40(2) + b
Isolate for the y-intercept:
b = 161
So,
y = -40x + 161

Credit the following;
Investment (Available for sale) $18,000
Gain on sale of an investment $2,000
Explanation:
Assuming all the unrealized holding gains and losses have been reversed, the investment will be recorded at the original cost of $18,000 instead of the fair value and the gain would then be $2,000.
The Journal entry for the sale would be;
DR Cash.......................................... .............$20,000
CR Investment (Available for sale)......................... $18,000
Gain on sale of an investment .................................$2,000
<em>(To record sale of bond investment)</em>
Answer: c. $94,240
Explanation:
On December 31, 2005, one payment has already been made which would mean that only 7 payments are left. As the first of these remaining 7 will be paid the year after, this is an ordinary annuity.
Note payable value = Present value of seven $20,000 payments
= 20,000 * Present value of ordinary annuity of 1 at 11% for 7 years.
= 20,000 * 4.712
= $94,240
Answer:
While setting the price of a product, managers must consider all of the following: A) cost of the whole marketing mix B) buying capacity of the customers C) profit it should bring the company D) transportation cost E) personnel cost to the company
Explanation:
Key factors in calculating the sale price can be:
- Costs are a major factor in determining the selling price and a way of forming a price that is primarily related to costs called “ground” because it represents the minimum at which the price can be set. It includes cost plus other costs with no projected or minimal profit;
- Demand/buying capacity as a key factor in price calculation is tied to a method called the "ceiling" because capacity exceeds the price limit that customers are willing to accept to get a product or service.
- Competition as a pricing factor refers to alternatives that customers can choose from, and competition allows them to do so;
Cost-based pricing has its sub-methods such is Cost plus method
The basic principle is to add a rate of profit to the sum of direct and indirect costs. This way price consider a profit to it should bring to company.
Direct costs include material and labor costs, and indirect or general costs comprise a portion of fixed indirect costs such as depreciation, administration costs, sales costs and other general costs.
Formula: price = Direct costs + Indirect costs + Rate of profit
