Answer:

25

Explanation:

Let number of passengers greater than 20 be 'x'

thus,

the total number of passengers = 20 + x

and,

the total cost = $60 - $2x

now,

The revenue function will become as:

R(x) = cost × Number of passengers

or

R(x) = ( 60 - 2x ) × ( 20 + x )

or

R(x) = 1200 + 60x - 40x - 2x²

or

R(x) = 1200 + 20x - 2x²

Now,

for point of maxima, differentiating w.r.t 'x'

we have

R'(x) = 20 - 4x = 0

or

x = 5

Hence,

the ideal number of passenger is 20 + x = 20 + 5 = 25

Assume again that the cost of capital is 7 percent and the effective tax rate is 40 percent. How would the payback, internal rat
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

If the effective tax rate increases then the net savings coming from investments will get lowered as a result the investment will have higher payback period (The increase in effective tax rate would lower demand of the product which means there is decline in net saving arising from the sale of the product). Likewise this decrease in annual net savings will also decrease the internal rate of return which shows that their are increased chances of project rejections. The NPV method is based on cash flows and relevant costing just like IRR and payback method but the only difference is that it assumes that the cash earned would be reinvested at cost of capital. The NPV will also decrease due to increased effective tax rate.

Soriano Company had net sales of $300,000 for the month (after returns and allowances of $1,500 and sales discounts of $3,250).
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Ending Inventory  $ 64,000

Explanation:

To define the final inventory of the company it's necessary to find the cost of good of the period.  

As the company had a 43% of gross profit, it means that for every dollar of sales we have 0,43 dollar of Gross Profit, with this value is possible to know the total cost of the goods sold during the period, that it's the difference between Sales Revenue and Gross Profit.  

Total Sales Revenue had to be the net value after returns and discounts as it's detailed.  

Income Statement  

Sales revenue        $ 300,000  

Cost of goods sold  -$ 171,000  

Gross Profit            $ 129,000 43%

Beginning Inventory  $ 60,000

Purchases                  $ 175,000

Cost of goods sold  -$ 171,000

Ending Inventory    $ 64,000

yulyashka [42]

The Healthcare industry is a great example of how the industry has become involved in Washington lobbying, as the number of their lobbies has increased recently.

According to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC), lobbying is "attempting to influence the approval or rejection of any rule, standard, rate, or another legislative enactment by any state agency under the state Administrative Procedure Act, RCW.

In  Washington, the sector that has spent the most on lobbying over the past 24 years is the pharmaceutical and health goods sector. Insurance, electric utilities, electronics manufacturers, and business groups are further businesses that spend a lot of money on lobbying.

The pharmaceutical and health goods business has outspent all others in lobbying spending $5.17 billion total.
