Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

If the demand for a product is elastic the tax burden will be borne by the producer. This is because elastic demand means that an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate reduction in the quantity demanded. So with the imposition of a tax, the sellers will not increase the price as it is likely to reduce demand.

If the demand is inelastic, it means that an increase in price will lead to less than a proportionate decrease in the demand. In this situation, after the imposition of tax, the tax burden can be shared between producer and buyer.

The segmented income statement for Gorman Nurseries for the coming year can therefore be presented as follows:

Gorman Nurseries Inc.

Segment Net Income (loss)   <u> (118,125)  </u>       <u>       92,325 </u>    <u>    (25,800) </u>

Workings:

w1. Variable selling expenses = Sales * Commission percentage

Poinsettias = $970,000 * 4% = $38,8000

Fruit Trees = $3,100,000 * 4% = $124,000

w2. Allocation of common expenses using the following assuptions:

a) Use cost of goods sold (COGS) to allocate Common fixed overhead:

Poinsettias = (460,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (1,630,000 / 2,090,000) * $800,000 = $623,923

b) Use common selling and administrative expense using Sales:

Poinsettias = (970,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $176,077

Fruit Trees = (3,100,000 / 4,070,000) * $450,000 = $623,923

anygoal [31]

Answer:

$372,000

Explanation:

The computation of the amount to be reported in the balance sheet is shown below:

= Number of shares of common stock × fair value of the Papa stock on that date per share

= 6,200 shares × $60

= $372,000

Since in the question it is given that the Nana company does not have significant influence over Papa Company which means that the net income, retained earning, dividend is not be considered.

Therefore, the investment should be reported at the fair value

Suppose you invest in 100 shares of Harley-Davidson at $60 per share and 300 shares of Yahoo at $25 per share. Over the next yea
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

(a) $0 (b) 0% (c) 50% (d) -40% (e) 0.444 and 0.556 (f) -0.05

Explanation:

(a) Profit (in $) = (increase in price per share of Harley-Davidson * number of Harley-Davidson shares held) - (decrease in price per share of Yahoo * number of Yahoo shares held)

= $90 - $60 = $30 increase in Harley Davidson and $25 - $15 =$10 decrease in Yahoo

= ($30*100) - ($10*300) = $0

(b) return on portfolio = return/capital invested * 100 = $0/($60 * 100 + $25 * 300) = $0/$13500 = 0%

(c) return on investment in Harley = return/capital invested in Harley * 100 = $30*100/$60*1000 = $3000/$6000 = 50%

(d) return on investment in Yahoo = return/capital invested in Yahoo * 100 = -$10*300/$25*300 = -$3000/$7500 = - 40% (negative rate of return)

(e) Weighting at the beginning of year (in decimals)

Harley Davidson = $60 * 100 units/ total invested ($60 * 100 + $25 * 300)

                            = $6000/$13500 = 0.444

Yahoo = $25 * 300 units/ total invested

           = $7500/$13500 = 0.556

(f) realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio = 0.444*50% + 0.556*-40%

                                                                                 = -0.0493728

                                                                                 = - 0.05 (to decimal places)

Accord Company purchased land for​ $100,000 by making a cash payment of​ $30,000 and promising to pay the remaining amount in a
Volgvan

Answer:

Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.

Explanation:

Given data provided

Purchase land = $100,000

Cash payment = $30,000

The computation of net effect is shown below:-

= Purchase land - Cash payment

= $100,000 - $30,000

= $70,000

Therefore, for computing the net effect we simply deduct cash payment from purchase land. So, Assets and liabilities both will increase by $70,000.
