Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The break even quantity is

= Fixed cost ÷ (selling price per unit - variable cost per unit)

= $26,000 ÷ ($1 - 0.35)

= $26,000 ÷ 0.65

= 40,000

b. The price is

Let us assume the price per pen  be x

As we know that

Profit = Revenue - costs

$16,000 = (x)(41,000) - $26,000 - .35(41,000)

$16,000 = 41,000x - 40,350

$56,350 = 41,000x

x = $1.37

In most transactions, the buyer is accepting the condition of the property at what point in time:_________
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

b. At the signing of the contract

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement; this is generally referred to as mutual assent and it is at this point they (buyer and seller) sign the contract. Therefore, mutual assent connotes agreement, acceptance and consent to a contract by both parties.

<em>Hence, in most transactions, the buyer is accepting the condition of the property at the signing of the contract as an approval or consent to the terms and conditions. </em>

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts

Unlimited liability in this scenario, means that Paul Hyatt is fully liable for all business debts. That is because unlimited liability is defined as the full legal responsibility that business owners and partners assume for all business debts, and since Paul Hyatt is a sole proprietor which means that he both owns and runs DeepCleans and there is no legal distinction between him and the business entity, then he is fully liable for debts and profits of DeepClean.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

$1,120

Explanation:

Ending Merchandise Inventory is value of closing inventory in hand, to be valued at lower of cost or net realizable value or replacement value

Here, cost of closing inventory = 7 units X $160 each = $1,120

Since current realizable/ replacement value = $1,155

Cost is less than realizable value, therefore cost will be considered.

Thus ending merchandise inventory will be valued at total of $1,120.
