Answer: y = 66x - 1200

Explanation: The charity organisation has to sell a number of tickets to cover their production costs of $1,200. It is given that after selling 200 tickets they retain a net profit of $12,000. Net profit is deduced as: Total sales - total costs. Sales is calculated as total tickets x selling price per ticket.

If we let b represent the sales earned from selling tickets, then:

Net profit = total sales - total costs

12,000 = 200b - 1,200

We can then solve for b by taking the 1200 to the other side of the equal sign. When we do that the sign of that number changes. This is also the same as adding 1200 to both sides of the equal sign:

∴12000 + 1200 = 200b

13200 = 200b

To get the price of one single ticket, b, we need to divide both sides by 200.

∴ b = 66

This means that each ticket's selling price is $66.

So when when we take it back to the calculation of net profit then it becomes:

Net profit = total sales - total costs

y = 66x - 1200

To test:

y = 66x - 1200

= 66 (200 tickets) - 1200

= $12,000

Answer:

b = 66

Explanation:

b will be represent the sales earned from selling tickets:

Net profit = total sales - total costs

Net profit is 12,000

Total sales is 200b

Total costs is 1,200

Put them together and then you get:

12,000 = 200b - 1,200

Change the minus sign in the equation to an addition sign so now it's:

12000 + 1200 = 200b

Now add it:

13200 = 200b

Now divide to get b alone

13200 = 200b

/200       /200

The answer:

66 = b

So now we get the price if you were to buy 1 ticket

Rank the following types of businesses in order of risk to you, with the highest being number 1: partnership, limited partnershi
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. Partnership
  3. Limited Partnership
  4. Limited Liability Company      

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

Colorado Mountain Mining paid $ 896,900 for the right to extract mineral assets from a 500,000​-ton deposit. In addition to the
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

(a) The asset would be recorded in accordance to IAS 16 Property, plant & equipment.

Dr  Mining Asset   896,900

Cr       Bank                     896,900

(b) IAS 16 says that the costs incurred to make the asset ready for use must be capitalized as part of the asset. This means the license fee $1000 filing fee, License fee $2100 and $50,000 amount paid for geological survey must be capitalized. So the entry is as under:

Dr Mining asset (1k+2.1k+50k) $53,100

Cr                      Bank                       $53,100

(c) This assets must be depreciated on the basis of tons of minerals extracted which is 60 thousands tons in the first year.

Depreciation Expense = (60k tons / 500k tons)   * (Total capitalized cost)

=(60,000/500,000) * (896,900+53,100) = $108,000

The Double entry of Depreciation Expense would be as under:

Dr Depreciation Expense  $108,000

Cr                Accumulating Depreciation  $108,000

The difference between variable costs and fixed costs is (CMA adapted) A. Unit variable costs fluctuate and unit fixed costs rem
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

<em>(A) Unit variable costs fluctuate and unit fixed costs remain constant.</em>

Explanation:

The <em>fixed costs</em> are the costs which have to be incurred always, irrespective of what the output produced is by the firm. For instance, a firm always has to charge depreciation on its fixed assets, pay salary to the premises staff and pay fixed salary to the managers for managing etc, irrespective of whatever output it produces.

<em>Variable costs</em> are the costs which vary with the level of output produced activity. For example, if more output is produced more will be the raw material payments, more will be the manufacturing related other expenses and more will be the wages paid to the labour etc and vice-versa.

Hence, thereby the per <em>unit variable costs fluctuate and unit fixed costs remain constant.</em>
