Answer:
a. Income before advertising budget increase:
= Contribution margin - Fixed costs
= (38 * 3,600) - 79,000
= $57,800
Income after advertising budget increases:
= Sales - Variable expenses - Fixed expenses
Sales = (3,600 + 100 units) * 95 per unit
= $351,500
Variable expenses = 60% * 351,500
= $210,900
Fixed expenses = 79,000 + 8,400 advertising
= $87,400
Income = 351,500 - 210,900 - 87,400
= $53,200
b. Income decreased with the increase in advertising so<u> Advertising budget should not be increased. </u>
I think the most appropriate answer would be "inelastic demand". As the demand doesn't decrease significantly high and the cost of gasoline doesn't increase significantly increase that high.
(Inelastic demand is the the demand of a product does not changes too much/vigorously, as compared to elastic demand.)
I hope it helped you!
Answer:
Giancarlo’s initial investment in the Suzuki XL7 is $17,122
Explanation:
The computation of the initial investment is shown below:
= Negotiated price of new Suzuki + Taxes and fees charges on purchase of a new car - proceeds from the old car
= $24,675 + $1,732 - $9,285
= $17,122
The estimated value of the old, new car and the annual repair cost is not relevant for computing the initial investment. Hence, we ignore it and not considered this cost.
Answer:
Adjusting journal entries
a) 1 . Debit Depreciation $10500 Credit Accumulated depreciation $10500.
2 . Debit interest expense $40 , Credit Bank $40
3 . Debit Admission revenue $ 60000, Credit Unearned admission revenue $60000
4. Debit Prepaid expense $1100 , Credit Advertising expense $1100
5. Debit salary $4700, Credit Salary payable ( accrued salary) $4700
Explanation:
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/ useful life
it is said that the equipment has a useful life of 16 years at that date (31 Dec) and depreciation needs to be adjusted for the year. Even even that $192000 is Carrying amount it is not depreciable amount we still need to subtract the salvage value hence (192000- 24000)/16 = $10500 Depreciation
interest expense = 90000*8%*72/360 = $1440
The 72 days numerator is arrived at by adding the remaining 11 days in Oct plus full 30 days Nov plus full 31 days Dec. $1400 of interest has already been recorded so in adjusting to the total of $1440 we need to record $40 of interest.
december coupon = 2000*$30 =$60000
if the coupon admission book revenue for december is not included in the trial balance then its journal entry is debit bank $60000 credit unearned revenue $60000
