Answer:

(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?

When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.

(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.

beginning membership fees + cash received - membership fee revenue = ending membership fee balance

$1,269 + cash received - $2,646 = $1,362

cash received = $1,362 + $2,646 - $1,269 = $2,739 million

(c) Use the financial statement effects template to show the effect of the cash Costco received during 2016 for membership fees and the recognition of membership fees revenue for 2016.

Use negative signs with answers, when appropriate.

Balance Sheet

Cash Asset + Noncash Assets = Liabilities + Contributed Capital + Earned Capital

Receive cash in advance for membership fees ⇒ $2,739 + na = $2,739 + na + na

Recognized membership fees earned ⇒ na + na = -$2,646 + na + $2,646

Income Statement

Revenue - Expenses = Net Income

na na na

$2,646 na $2,646

A company’s total monthly sales (in millions of dollars) t months from now are given by:

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

b) $S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

c) For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

d) $S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

e) This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function for the sales

$S(t) = 0.5 t^2 +3t -5$

Part a

For this case we want to find the derivate of S respect to t and we got:

$\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

Part b

For this case we want to find the value of S when t = 4 so if we replace we got:

$S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

Part c

For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

Part d

For this case we just need to replace t=4 in the derivate and we got:

$S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

Part e

This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

A budget constraint shows all the combinations that a consumer might purchase of two given products or services. The total consumption can be represented by a consumption possibilities frontier curve:

originally you could purchase 50 beers or 5 hot wings
then as the price of beer increases to $2, you can only buy 25 beers or 5 hot wings
