Answer:

A. There is no change in real output

B. There is a change of $80,000,000 in the real output.

Explanation:

A. With regards to the question, the output being referred to is the gold amount produced in an imaginary situation.

Sales revenue for the first year is $80,000,000 and it doubled to $160,0000 the following year and the next. Since there is 100% increase in the price of gold over same period, it therefore means that the 100% price increase results in 100% increase in sales revenue.

The above simply means that the actual output of gold from the mine remains the same

B. Where the price remains the same in a possible scenario, it would then be that to achieve full increment in sales revenue(100%), then the actual output of Glitter Gulch would also change by the full output(100%).

The change in value would be

= $160,000,000 - $80,000,000

= $80,000,000

Delvig [45]

Answer:

The net income is $150,500 and the return on assets is 20.06 %

Explanation:

The formula for computing net income and return on assets is shown below and the computation is also made.

Net income =  Sales revenue × Profit margin

                   = $2,150,000 × 7%

                   = $150,500

Return on assets = Net income ÷ total assets

                            = $150,500 ÷ $750,000

                            = 0.2006

                            = 20.06 %

Thus, the net income is $150,500 and the return on assets is 20.06 %

Larry is a hard-working college freshman. One Saturday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 200 practice problems f
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

  • The marginal gain from Larry's second hour of work is 60 problems
  • The marginal gain from Larry's fourth hour of work is 20 problems
  • The best combination is 1 hour of working problems + 3 hours of reading

Explanation:

To get the <em><u>marginal gain</u></em> we subtract from the latest hour, in this case the second hour (140), the production from the previous hour (80). 140-80=60. <em>It's always the same, the latest minus the previous one.</em>

So let's do the same for the fourth hour:

Noon................200 problems

minus

11:00 AM..........180 problems

200-180= 20 problems

Now to know how many hours he should spend working on problems and reading, let's compare:

An hour of reading equals to 70 problems made; (because working on 70 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour).

hours of working problems         problems solved

0............................................................0

1.............................................................80

2............................................................140

3............................................................180

hours reading                    problems equivalent to hours read

4...............................................(4*70)=280

3...............................................(3*70)=210

2...............................................(2*70)=140

1................................................(1*70)=70

finally let's add up the two combinations (0 and 4, 1 and 3, 2 and 2, 3 and 1)

0 and 4_______________0+280= 280

1 and 3________________80+210=290

2 and 2_______________140+140=280

3 and 1________________180+70=250

<em>And the best combination is 1 hour of working problems + 3 hours of reading=</em><em>290</em>

ABC Co. purchased equipment for $72,000 on January 1, 2017. The equipment is expected to have a five-year life and a residual va
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Depreciation expense for 2017: $26,400

The book value of the equipment at December 31, 2017: $45,600

Explanation:

Under the straight-line method, useful life is 5 years, so the asset's annual depreciation will be 20% of the Depreciable cost.

Depreciable cost = Total cost of the equipment - Residual value =  $72,000 - $6,000 = $66,000

Under the double-declining-balance method the 20% straight line rate is doubled to 40% - multiplied times the Depreciable cost's book value at the beginning of the year.

Depreciation expense for 2017 = 40% x $66,000 = $26,400

Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $26,400

Book value of the equipment at December 31, 2017 = Cost of the equipment - Accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2017 = $72,000 - $26,400 = $45,600

Woodland industries manufactures and sells custom-made windows. Its job costing system was designed using an activity-based cost
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a.

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176, 800

Materials handling (508 * 0.28) 142.24

Cutting and lathe work (508 * 12.32) 6258.56

Assembly and inspection (13,600 * 17.5) 238,000

Total manufacturing cost 522,700.8

Cost per unit produced = 522,700.8 / 3,050 =  

= 171.377 per unit.

b.

Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead costs / Estimated Direct labour hours

(61,600 + 2,710,400 + 3,850,000) / 220,000

= 30.1 per direct labour hour

Direct materials 101,500

Direct labour (13,600 * 13) 176,800

Manufacturing overhead (13,600 * 30.1) 409,360

Total manufacturing cost 687,660

Cost per unit produced = 687,660/ 3,050

= 225.46 per unit.
