f the compar- ison of these systems (System I vs. System IT) shows 2-16 total yearly costs for the number of maps dispensed per year for both alternatives. Answer the following questions.
(a) What is the fixed cost for System I?
(b) What is the fixed cost for System II?
(c) What is the variable cost per map dispensed for System I?
(d) What is the variable cost per map dispensed for System 11?
(e) What is the breakeven point in terms of maps dispensed at which the two systems have equal annual costs?

Full question attached

Answer:

A. $1000

B. $5000

C. $0.9

D. $0.10

E. 5 maps

Explanation:

A. From the diagram in the question, we can see the equation of the cost, the constant to the right of the equation is the fixed cost

B. The same is applicable as in question A

C. The variable cost can be seen in the equation where we observe the cost per map- 0.9 per unit X

D. Same is applicable as in question C

E. The break-even point is 5 maps as seen in diagram in question. At this point both equations equal $5500

Freeman​ Motors, a motorcycle​ manufacturer, had the following contingencies. Determine the appropriate accounting treatment for
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit.​ Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be​ $4,500,000.

  • Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.

Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.

  • Do not disclose.

Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.

c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be​ $75,000.

  • Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.

Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.

Grosheim Incorporated has fixed expenses of $213,000 per year. Right now, Grosheim Incorporated is selling its products for $250
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

781 units

Explanation:

Under the CVP concept, the break-even point is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin per unit.

i.e., break-even point = fixed cost/ contribution margin per unit

Currently, fixed costs are $213,000, an increase of 10% will take to

=(10/100 x $213,000) + $213,000

=$21,300 + 213,000

=$234, 300

The selling price is $250, an increase of 40%

=$250 x 1.4

=$350

variable cost will remain the same this year and the following year

Current variable  costs are 20% of sales

=20/100 x 250

=0.2 x 250

=$50

Contribution margin will be new selling price - variable costs

=$350-50

=$300

Break-eve point = $234, 300/300

=781 units

The gains from trade are Group of answer choices a. evident in economic models, but seldom observed in the real world. b. eviden
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": a result of more efficient resource allocation than would be observed in the absence of trade.

Explanation:

Trade has allowed societies to exchange their products according to their needs. Thanks to trade those goods are distributed accordingly more <em>efficiently </em>since, in isolation, countries would be specialists of certain types of products only which is unlikely to be enough to cover all the individuals' needs in those societies.

For an analysis of the salaries of your​ company, you plot the salaries of all employees against the number of years they have w
Arisa [49]

Answer:

1. That values that you must plot are:

  • (1, 4.08))
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

2. Yes, the plot of those three points is straight enough.

Explanation:

<em><u>A. What are the values you will​ plot? </u></em>

The x-ccordinate of your plot is still the number of years the exmployees have worked for the company.

The y-coordinate of your plot is the the​ base-10 logarithm of  the salary.

Therefore:

<u>1) A​ part-time shipping​ clerk</u>: 1 year, $12,000

           ⇒     (1,log_{10}12,000)=(1,4.08)

<u>2) A manager</u>: 20 years, $120,000

  ⇒     (20,log_{10}120,000)=(20,5.08)

<u>3) The​ CEO</u>: 40 years​ ago, $1,500,000

  ⇒     (40,log_{10}1,500,000)=(40,6.18)

Summarizing, the points to plot are:

  • (1, 4.08)
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

<u><em>B. Will the plot of these three points be straight​ enough?</em></u>

To find whether the plot is straight enoguh, you may either plot them, make a regression, or, since they are only three points, you can whether the change of rate of the points is constant.

  • <u>Change of rate of the first two points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (5.08 - 4.08) / (20 - 1) =1.00/19 ≈ 0.05

  • <u>Change of rate of the second and the third points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (6.18 - 5.08) / (20 - 1) = 0.05

Since both rate of changes are equal (or reasonably equal) the plot is  straight enough.

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

time period

Explanation:

In accounting, the time period principle states that a firm must report its financial statements for specific periods of time. For example, the Securities and exchange Commission (SEC) requires public corporations to submit their financial reports every quarter. This is done in order for accounting periods to be comparable, e.g. comparing a quarterly report vs an annual report is not correct.
