Answer:

decrease the stockholder equity and decrease in assets

Explanation:

As we know, the accounting equation is

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

In the given case,

The rent is paid for the current month, so the journal entry would be

Rent expense A/c Dr XXXXX

To Cash A/c XXXXX

(Being rent is paid)

So it decreases the stockholder equity as it includes the income and expenses part and it decreases in assets as it reduces the cash balance

pishuonlain [190]

In this problem he need 19.500 but only earns 325 a month. From this we take what is needed (19500) and divide it by what is earned (325). This will give you 60. So therefore it will take him 60 months to earn enough for one year at university.

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Indirect Material variable cost Per Direct Labor HR 5000000/50000=100

Indirect Material (variable) 100*75000 =7500000

Rent Fixed 6000000

Hence total Maintenace Fixed =17625000-7500000-600000= 4125000

Low High Change

Cost 3250000 4125000 875000 [4125000-3250000]

Activities 50000 75000 25000

variable Portion of Maitencance cost =875000/25000= 35.00

Fixed cost=4125000-75000*35=1500000

Variable cost=35

cost formula for maintenance= 1500000+35b

Indirect Material (variable) 100*70000 = 7000000

Rent Fixed 6000000

Maintenance cost = 1500000+35*70000=3950000

The portfolio is considered to be less risky if its volatility is low. The higher standard deviation the more risky is the project. For Duke Energy and Microsoft the investment portfolio required is risk free investment. To calculate the risk free rate we calculate using the formula;

Var Rp = x1 2Var R1 + x2 2Var R2 +2 x1 x2 Corr (R1, R2) SD1 SD2

Var Rp = 0.14 + 0.44 + 2 (1) * (-1) * 6% * 24%

Solving for this we get the risk free investment at 4%.
