Answer: 3

Explanation:

The marginal rate of substitution simply means the rate at which one good will be exchanged for another good based on the current market price.

Since you like servants three times as much as robots, this implies that the utility that one gets from one servant is exactly like the utility that will be gotten from three robots.

Therefore, the utility function will be:

U = 3X + Y

Then, the marginal rate of substitution will be:

= MUX/MUY

= 3

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

                                                             a)                      b)

Unpaid balance for the year       $229,500      $229,500

Allowance for doubtful accounts    (18,900)          (14,820)

Net Realizable Value =                $210,600        $214,680

d. The recognition of bad debts expense does not have any direct effect on the net realizable value.  It is the Allowance for doubtful accounts that has a negative effect on the net realizable value.

The write-off of accounts reduces the net realizable value by $3,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning balances:

Accounts receivable = $105,000

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,950

Sales in 2017 = $787,500

Credit Sales = $630,000 (80% of $787,500)

Total collections on account = $502,500

Uncollectibles written off =   $3,000

Unpaid balance for the year = $229,500 ($105,000 + $124,500)

Bad Debts Expense = $18,900 ($630,000 * 3%)

Allowance for Uncollectibles = $13,770 ($229,500 * 6%)

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

33.77%

Explanation:

In one year, you are going to receive ($42 x 100) + ($0.56 x 100) = $4,256

you must return ($35.50 x 50) = $1,775

plus interests = $1,775 x 6% = $106.50

total return = $4,256 - $1,775 - $106.50 = $2,374.50

you invested $1,775

return on your investment = ($2,374.50 / $1,775) - 1 = 33.77%

anygoal [31]

Answer: Attached below is the missing data related to your question

answer :  66 boxes

Explanation:

<u>Determine the number of boxes of screws that ADR should order </u>

we can determine the number of boxes by applying the relationship below

Q ( quantity of boxes ) = d ( T + L ) + SS - I   ------ ( 1 )

where: d = 2 ( average daily demand )

           T = 21 ( frequency of visit by local rep )

           L = 4 ( lead time )

           SS = 20  , I = 4

back to equation 1

Q = 2 ( 21 + 4 ) + 20 - 4

   = 2 ( 25 ) + 16

   = 50 + 16 =  66 boxes
