GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

$2,740,251.24

Explanation:

Applying power sizing technique or an exponential model to determine the cost of new boiler.

This model identify the cost variation along with change in capacity or power of the equipment.

\frac{C_{A} }{C_{B} } =(\frac{S_{A}}{S_{B}})^{x}

Where,

Cb = Cost of new plant

Sa = capacity of new plant

Sb = capacity of old plant

x = cost capacity factor

Therefore,

\frac{C_{A}}{2,000,000} =(\frac{400,000}{250,000})^{0.67}

C_{A}=2,000,000\times\frac{400,000}{250,000}

               = 2,000,000 × 1.3701

               = $2,740,251.24

babymother [125]

Answer:

d. 12.5 times.

Explanation:

The computation of the accounts receivable turnover ratio is shown below:

Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable  

where,  

Net credit sales is $8,500,000

And, the Average accounts receivable would be

= (Accounts receivable, beginning of year + Accounts receivable, end of year) ÷ 2

= ($600,000 + $760,000) ÷ 2

= $680,000

So, the accounts receivable turnover ratio would be

= $8,500,000 ÷ $680,000

= 12.5 times

We simply applied the above formula

arsen [322]

Answer:

A share of ownership in a company.

Explanation:

A stock represents ownership of a company. The total value of an organization is subdivided into small units called stock, shares, or equity.  Each stock or share is a small portion of the organization. Holders or owners of the shares are the owners of the company. They are known as shareholders or stockholders.

Shareholders acquire their shares or equity by either being the founders of the business or by purchasing them. When a business is being formed, the founders contribute capital, which converts to shares. The business may opt to sell more shares to the public through IPO when they need to raise additional capital.
