Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

That would be a monopoly (only one supplier).

An oligopoly is a market where there are very few suppliers, and competition is very limited since the barriers to entry are very significant.

For example, the automobile industry is an oligopoly. There are only a few car manufacturers in the world, and they all are very large corporations. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to introduce a new car model, and every time that happens, the corporations must carry on expensive advertising and promotional campaigns.

Answer:

Insurance expense debit for 3,800

Insurance prepaid credit for 3,800

Step 1: Currently equals to $4,700

Step 2: It should equal $900

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount unexpired, which means the ending balance. So the diference will be the adjuting entry

Step 3: $4700 - $900 = $3,800

insurance expense debit for 3,800

PART B

Answer:

insurance expense 1040 debit

prepaid insurance 1040credit

Explanation:

b.- Prepaid Insurance. The Prepaid Insurance account has a $5,890 debit balance at the start of the year. A review of insurance policies and payments shows $1,040 of insurance has expired by year-end.

Step 1: Curently equals to $5,890

Step 2: 5,890 - 1,040 expired portion = 4,850 unexpired portion

The blaance should be 4,850

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us the ammount expired, which means the adjusting entry. So the diference will be the ending balance

Step 3

The adjusting entry must be made for 1,040 which is the expired portion

insurance expense 1040 debit

prepaid insurance 1040credit

PART C

Answer:

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit

Explanation:

C.- PrepaidRent. On September 1 of the current year, the company prepaid $24,000 for 2 years of rent for facilities being occupied that day. The company debited Prepaid Rent and credited Cash for $24,000.

Step 1 Current balance is 24,000

In this Case: It is giving us the begining balance, and then it proceeds to tell us information about the contract, which means we are going to work to get the expired portion and with that calculate the ending balance like on part B

Step 2 We are at December 31th the expired portion will be 4 months (September, October, November and December) so:

24,000

----------------------------- x 4 months expired = 4,000 expired portion

24 month of contract

24,000 - 4,000 = 20,000

begining - expired = ending AKA "unexpired"

The balance should be equal to 20,000

Step 3: the adjusting entry should be done for 4,000 which is the expired portion of the rent.

rent expense 4,000 debit

prepaid rent 4,000 credit

Use the following information to determine the break-even point in units (rounded to the nearest whole unit): Unit sales 58,000

Tema [17]

Answer:

29,394 units

Explanation:

The formula for break even point is given as Fixed cost / Contribution margin.

Where;

Contribution margin = Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit

Given that ;

Fixed cost = $194,000

Unit selling price = $14.90

Unit variable cost = $8.30

Therefore;

BEP(units) = $194,000 / $14.90 - $8.30

= $194,000 / $6.6

= 29,394 units

Whiteville Co. can further process Product B to produce Product C. Product B is currently selling for $45 per pound and costs $3

Annette [7]

Answer:

In this case, the differential cost os $18.

Explanation:

The differential cost is the increase in unitary or total production value in two or more steps of the decision-making process. In this case, the unitary cost of product B is not a differential cost. It would remain constant in both products, but, the additional $18 is a cost incurred only in product C.

In this case, the differential cost os $18.
