Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization =  $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

                    Journal Entry

Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

      Patent Credit -  $7.25 million

Explain why supply and price are positively related
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A positive correlation signifies that an increase in one variable results in the other variable moving in the same direction. Because supply and price are positively correlated, a price increase will increases supply. The opposite is also true.

Suppliers are business people whose main objective is to make profits. Higher prices give higher margins. Suppliers make higher profits when prices are high. The possibility of making higher profits motivates suppliers to increase supplies to the market. On the other hand, low prices may result in losses. When prices are low, supplies will shy away from the market to avoid making losses.

Maru [420]

Answer:

                                              30-Nov                 31-Dec

                                       debit      credit        debit      credit

supplies                       $2,000                    $3,500

prepaid Insurance      $8,000                    $6,000

salaries payable                           $11,000                  $16,000

unearned revenue                       $3,000                    $1,500

1. Purchases of supplies in December total $4,500.

Dr Supplies expense 3,000

    Cr Supplies 3,000

beginning balance = $2,000 + $4,500 = $6,500

supplies expense = $6,500 - ending balance

2. No insurance payments are made in December.

Dr Insurance expense 2,000

    Cr Prepaid insurance 2,000

Insurance expense = November 30's balance - December 31's balance

3. $11,000 is paid to employees during December for November salaries.

Dr Salaries expense 16,000

    Cr Salaries payable 16,000

The beginning balance of salaries payable = $11,000, then it was paid (balance = $0), so any ending balance represents wages expense.

4. On November 1, a tenant pays Golden Eagle $4,500 in advance rent for the period November through January.

Dr Unearned revenue 1,500

    Cr Rental revenue 1,500

Monthly rent revenue = $4,500 / 3 = $1,500

unearned revenue balance Nov. 30 = $3,000

unearned revenue balance Dec. 31 = $1,500

rental revenue = Nov. 30's balance - Dec. 31's balance

Popped! is a specialty popcorn store. It offers two varieties of popcorn:
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Plain = 450 per month

Flavored = 1800 per month

Explanation:

We will calculate the breakeven in composite units first and then separate the into both products to find out individual number of both products that needs to be sold to break even.

The breakeven in units = Fixed cost / composite contribution margin

The composite contribution margin per unit = Contribution of Product 1 * weight of product 1 + Contribution of product 2 * weight of product 2

Thus, the composite contribution margin (CM) per unit for Popped is,

CM per unit-composite units = (2-0.8) * 1/5 + (4-2.5) * 4/5 = $1.44 per unit

The breakeven in units = 3240 / 1.44 = 2250 units per month

Out of this,

Plain = 2250 * 1/5 = 450 unts

Flavored = 2250 * 4/5 = 1800
