Answer:
In the March 31 statement of financial position, the company should record the futures contracts as a loss and liability of $100,000
Explanation:
GAAP specifies that all derivatives instrument and hedging activities recorded in the balance sheet are assets and liabilities and measured at fair value.
At the starting of the futures contracts, the fair value is $0 since the prices of the future contract was entered at that date.
Given that 200 futures contracts was sold at the commodity exchange foo $$0.83/lb and each contract was for 25,000 lb. Therefore a fair value hedge of 5 million lb. (25,000 lb. × 200 contracts) of copper at $0.83/lb is expected to be delivered.
The price had risen to $0.85/lb at the date of the financial statements, Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability = (5 million lb) × ($0.83 – $0.85) = 5000000 × 0.02 = 100000
Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability of $100,000

$2.8
Explanation:
Data provide in the question:
Selling price of the raisins = $3.50 per pound
Weight of the mixture = 2 pounds
Percentage of raisins in the mixture = 40%
thus,
the weight of raisins present in the mixture
= Percentage of raisins × Total weight of the mixture
= 0.4 × 2
= 0.8 pounds
Therefore,
the amount paid for the raisins = weight of raisins in mixture × price of raisin
or
The amount paid for raisins = 0.8 × $3.50 = $2.8
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $60
Variable costs are $30 per unit
Fixed costs total $120,000.
Desired profit= $300,000
<u>To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 300,000) / 30
Break-even point in units= 14,000 units
