Answer:

Monthly Cell Phone Bill

Explanation:

Other things being equal, the higher the price of a good relative to a consumer's income, the greater the price elasticity of demand. Hence, the price elasticity of demand for low-priced items, such as thumbtacks and fish food, tends to be lower than the price elasticity of demand for relatively expensive items, such as monthly cell phone bill, that represent a more significant fraction of a consumer's annual income.

Be sure to consider not just the price, however, but also the overall portion of a consumer's annual income spent on an item. For example, one latte costs only $3.00, but for daily coffee drinkers the annual expense could be around $1,000. The elasticity of demand for lattes is therefore likely to be higher than that for other low-priced items (such as thumbtacks) that may need to be purchased only a few times annually.

During the year Waterway reported net sales of $951000. The company had accounts receivable of $75500 at the beginning of the ye
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

37.9 days

Explanation:

Given that,

Net sales = $951,000

Beginning accounts receivables = $75,500

Ending accounts receivables = $122,000

Average accounts receivables:

= (Beginning accounts receivables + Ending accounts receivables) ÷ 2

= ($75,500 + $122,000) ÷ 2

= $98,750

Accounts Receivable Turnover:

= Net sales ÷ Average accounts receivables

= $951,000 ÷ $98,750

= 9.63

Average collection period:

= 365 days ÷ Accounts Receivable Turnover

= 365 days ÷ 9.63

= 37.9 days

Last year, Company X paid out a total of $1,050,000 in salaries to its 21 employees. If no employee earned a salary that is more
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

$42,000

Explanation:

Let L be the lowest possible salary;

the maximum salary would be (L x 20%) + L = 1.2L

If we want to determine the minimum value for L, we need to assume that everyone else earns the maximum salary: 20 employees earn 1.2L each

L + 20(1.2L) = 1050000

L + 24L = 1050000

25L = 1050000

L = 42000

Polk Company manufactures basketballs. Materials are added at the beginning of the production process and conversion costs are i
wariber [46]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

1. Calculation of the equivalent units

<u>Particulars         Physical units   %     Material   %      Conversion cost</u>

Units transferred

out                          900             100%    900     100%     900

Ending

work in process     600            100%     600     40%       240

Equivalent

units                                                        1,500                  1,140

2. Cost per equivalent unit is

Particulars         Material      Conversion cost

Beginning

inventory           $750               $600

Cost during

period                $2,400            $2,820

Total cost          $3,150             $3,420

Divided by

Equivalent

units                   $1,500            $1,140

Cost per

equivalent unit    $2.1              $3

3. Transferred out cost is

= (3 + 2.1) × 900

= $4,590

And, the ending work in process cost is

= (600 ×$2.1) + (240 × $3)

= $1,960

2. Now the preparation of the production report is presented below:

Beginning work in process       $1,350

Cost during period                    $5,220

Total cost accounted for           $6,570

Transferred out cost                   $4,590

Ending work in process              $1,960

Total cost accounted as             $6,570
