Susan quit her job as a teacher, which paid her $36,000 per year in order to start her own catering business. She spent $12,000

of her savings, which had been earning 10% interest per year, on equipment for her business. She also borrowed $12,000 from her bank at 10% interest, which she also spent on equipment. For the past several months she has spent $1,000 per month on ingredients and other variables costs. Also for the past several months she has taken in $3500 in monthly revenue. Should Susan continue operating in the short-run and long-run?

Answer:

In the short run Susan can continue operating because her business is making an accounting profit, but unless her revenues increase, she should not continue operating in the long run. In the long run, economic profit/loss = $0, and Susan is not even close. She should keep working in her catering business until she can return to her old teaching job (or get a new one).

Explanation:

Susan's accounting profit/loss = total revenue - total expenses = ($3,500 x 12) - [($1,000 x 12) + ($12,000 x 10%)] = $42,000 - $13,200 = $28,800

Susan's economic profit/loss = accounting profit - opportunity costs

opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative. In this case, Susan's opportunity cost = $36,000 in lost salaries + $1,200 in lost interests = $37,200

Susan's economic loss = $28,800 - $37,200 = $8,400

In the short run Susan can continue operating because her business is making an accounting profit, but unless her revenues increase, she should not continue operating in the long run. In the long run, economic profit/loss = $0, and Susan is not even close. She should keep working in her catering business until she can return to her old teaching job (or get a new one).

The SRT partnership agreement specifies that partnership net income be allocated as follows:
Assoli18 [71]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Partner S:

Salary allowance = $20,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 60,000

                                                            = $6,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $60,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                   = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $20,000 + $6,000 + $15,000

                                                = $41,000

Partner R:

Salary allowance = $25,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 50,000

                                                            = $5,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $50,000

Remainder = 30% of 50,000

                  = $15,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $25,000 + $5,000 + $15,000

                                                = $45,000

Partner T:

Salary allowance = $15,000

Interest on average capital balance = 10% of 40,000

                                                            = $4,000

Average capital balances for the current year = $40,000

Current year net income = $125,000

Remainder = 40% of 50,000

                  = $20,000

Amount should be allocated = Salary allowance + Interest on average capital balance + Remainder

                                                = $15,000 + $4,000 + $20,000

                                                = $39,000

Workings:

Salary allowed = $20,000 + $25,000 + $15,000

                         = $60,000

Interest on average capital balance = $6,000 + $5,000 + $4,000

                                                            = $15,000

Total = Salary allowed  + Interest on average capital balance

        = $60,000 + $15,000

        = $75,000

Remainder = Current year net income - Total

                  = $125,000 - $75,000

                  = $50,000

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Inventory turnover in days = 43.59 days

Inventory turnover (No of times)=  8.37 times

Explanation:

<em>Inventory turnover days is the average length of time it takes a business to sell its inventory before replacement.</em>

Inventory turnover in days

= Average inventory /Cost of goods sold × 365 days

<em>Average inventory = (Opening Inventory + closing inventory)/2</em>

<em>Average inventory </em>

= (21,000 + 22,000)/2

= 21,500

<em>Inventory turnover in days</em>

(21,500/180,600) × 365 days

=43.597 days

Inventory turnover (No of times )

= Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

=  180,600/21,500

= 8.37 times
