A competitive car wash currently hires 4 workers, who together can wash 80 cars per day. The market price of car washes is $5 pe
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

b) 100 cars per day.

Explanation:

With the information above, we can conclude that each worker washes 20 cars per day, and earns a wage of $60 per day.

So the total labor costs per day is $60 wage per worker  X 4 workers = $240

The total sales revenue per day is: 80 cars washed per day X $5 per wash = $400.

So, we can see that with four workers, the firm has a good profit of = $400 - $240 = $160.

If the firm hired a fifth worker, labor costs would increase to $320 ($240 + $60), the amount of cars washed would increase to 100, and the sales revenue would increase to $500 (100 x $5).

So, profits would increase to $180 ($500 - $320) if the firm hired a fifth worker.

However, productivity should still be stable, so a worker who washed less than 20 cars per day should not be hired, this is why the A option is wrong.

On January 1, year 4, Purl Corp. purchased, as a long-term investment, $500,000 face value Shaw, Inc. 8% bonds for $456,200. The
Alla [95]

Answer:

$468,000

Explanation:

Since the bonds will be held to maturity and purchased at a discount, their value will increase as maturity approaches. On December 31, year 5, the bonds should be reported at $468,002 ≈ $468,000

investment balance = $456,200 + $5,620 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2004) +$6,182 (difference between interest receivable and interest revenue 2005) =  $468,002

interest receivable 2004 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2004 = $456,200 x 10% = $45,620

difference 2004 = $45,620 - $40,000 = $5,620

interest receivable 2005 = $500,000 x 8% = $40,000

interest revenue 2005 = ($456,200 + $5,620) x 10% = $46,182

difference 2005 = $46,182 - $40,000 = $6,182
