Answer:

The appropriate journal entry to record the sale of the 15,000 shares:

Dr Cash                                            800,000

Cr Investment - Thomas Corp       780,000

Cr Gain on investment disposal    20,000

(to record the investment disposal of 15,000 Thomas Corp's shares)

Explanation:

Before the disposal of the investment on Thomas, Roberts Co. should use the equity method to account for this investment because 30% of Thomas' shares which is 30,000 ( 100,000 x 30%) is possessed by Robert Co. and Robert Co. has significant influence over Thomas.

So, by the end of 2013, Robert's treatment to this investment should be:

Opening balance as of 2013:        $1,500,000

Plus: Share of net profit        :        $90,000   (calculated as 300,000 x 30%)

Minus: Dividend received     :        $(30,000) (calculated as 100,000 x 30%)

Closing balance as of 2013:          $1,560,000

=> Value per share = 1,560,000 / 30,000 = $52.

So, as at January 4 2014, because 15,000 shares is sold, the Investment account is Credited ( decreased) by $780,000 ( 52 x 15,000) and the total sales's receipt of $800,000 will generate the profit of $20,000 ( calculated as $800,000 - $780,000).

trapecia [35]

Answer: 12%

Explanation:

Stated interest rate is used in the calculation of the annual interest payment.

Interest payment = Face value of bonds * Stated interest rate

Annual Interest payment = Semi annual interest payment * 2

= 12,000 * 2

= $24,000

24,000 = 200,000 * Stated interest

Stated interest = 24,000 / 200,000

= 0.12

= 12%

Service products cannot generally be produced in ________or __________. Services are typically _________________________________
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Service products cannot generally be produced in advance or stored.

Services are typically variable, and in almost every service offering, the service cannot start until the customer arrives and actively participates.

Explanation:

Services have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them  from goods.

To start with, services cannot be produced in advance as production and consumption happen at the same time.

Also,the customer must be present and actively contributes to the delivery of the service, for instance, haircut cannot happen except the customer comes to the salon and obeys the instructions of the barber as they go along.

Besides,there is no physical substance in service unlike purchase of goods.
