Answer:

$535,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Latham's basis in the building is shown below:

= The material cost + direct labor cost + worker pension cost + architectural fees + depreciation on equipment  + interest paid during the year

= $300,000 + $150,000 + $5,000 + $15,000 + $25,000 + $40,000

= $535,000

It includes both direct and indirect cost

Since we have to compute for the building so we do not considered the purchase value of land and the loan amount

A deli is offering a special for its sandwiches. a customer will receive three free sandwiches for every five sandwiches purchas
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
We see that for every 8 sandwiches that the customer needs, he will pay for 5. Lets see how many groups of 8 sandwiches the order of 675 sandwiches contains. If we do Euclidean Division we see that there are 84 groups of 8 and that three sandwiches are the remainder. 675/8=84.375; Hence we have 84 groups and 0.375*8=3 sandwiches that remain. Thus, the customer would play for 84*5= 420 sandwiches if he had ordered 84 groups of 8 (namely 672 sandwiches). Since he needs another 3 sandwiches and there is no promotional offer for those, he will have to pay in total for 423 sandwiches. It is important to not divide the total number by 8 and then multiply it by 5; the customer gets the free sandwiches only if he completes an offer of 5 sandwiches, thus we have to group the sandwiches in octads and deal with the remainder separately.

Answer:

Salary and Commission compensation benefit has its pros and cons. However, The Company that adopts Salary Compensation benefit might be making a mistake.

Explanation:

If you pay salesmen a straight salary, some may have limited motivation to exceed basic expectations. However, commission based remuneration is pro performance in that drive salesmen to set more aggressive goals, work through obstacles and rejection to meet their target for a particular period.

Businesses that pay fixed salaries incur higher overhead costs because you have to pay whether you are making profits or not. But the case is different in Commission based compensation benefit where the risk is shared and commission is only paid when money is made.

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The working capital for 2017 is $15,500

Explanation:

Working capital: It shows a difference between the currents and the current liabilities

In mathematically,

Working Capital = Current Assets - current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Cash + short-term investments + net accounts receivable + merchandise inventory

= $46,500 + $24,000 + $57,000 + $158,000

= $285,500

And, the current liabilities = Accounts Payable​ + Salaries Payable

                                           = $133,500 + $17,000

                                           = $150,500

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $285,500 - $150,500

= $15,500
