Answer:

$1,700

Explanation:

Although the minimum equity to open a long margin account is $2,000. However, this does not apply if the securities in the account are paid fully.

It will amount to potential loss if a customer is asked to deposit more than 100% when buying. Since the customer wants to buy 1,700 of stock, it means that 100% or $1,700 (100 shares × $17) must be deposited.

Darya [45]

Answer:Product 1 will be valued at $16, Product 2 will be valued at $29

Explanation:

Lower of Cost or Market

Lower of Cost or Market is a Method for Valuing inventory which stipulates that inventory must be valued at the lower of cost or market price. Market price is defined as the replacement cost of inventory. There is however a Criteria to be followed when using Replacement costs

The replacement cost should not exceed or should not be greater than the Net Realizable Value, Net Realizable Value is the net amount we would receive from the sale of inventory after settling cost of selling inventory. If Replacement Cost is greater than Net relizable value, Net Realizable Value will be compared to historical cost in determining the value of inventory

The Replacement Cost Should also not be less than Net relizable value minus Ordinary profit, if it is less , Net relizable value minus Ordinary profit will be compare to historical costs in determining the value of inventory.

Replacement costs will be used if they are lower than Net realizable value and Higher than Net relizable value minus Ordinary profit

Product 1

Historical cost = $26

Net Realizable Value = $52 - 23 = $29

Net realizable Value minus Ordinary Profit = $29 - ( 52 -26) = $3

Replacement Cost $16

Replacement costs ($16) are less than Net realizable value ($29) But they are higher than Net realizable value minus Ordinary Profit ($3),. Product 1 will be valued at the lower of cost $26 or $16

Product 1 will be valued at $16

Product 2

Historical cost = $51

Net Realizable Value = $80 - 25 = $55

Net realizable Value minus Ordinary Profit = $29 - ( $80 -51) = $29

Replacement Cost $28

Replacement costs ($28) are less than Net realizable value ($55). They are also lower than Net realizable value minus Ordinary Profit ($29). Product 2 will be valued at the lower of cost $51 or $29

Product 2 will be valued at $29

Marshmellow Corporation sells a product for $140 per unit. The product's current sales are 12,500 units and its break-even sales

xeze [42]

Answer:

c. 10%

Explanation:

Margin of safety is the sales value at which the business is safe from making loss. It measures the profit after the break-even point. The sales over the break-even point is considered as the margin of safety.

Margin of safety = Actual Sales - Break-even point = 12,500 units - 11,250 units = 1250 units

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = Margin of safety / Actual sales

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 1,250 / 12,500

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 0.10

Percentage of margin of safety to sales = 10%
