Quickbrush Paint Company is developing a linear program to determine the optimal quantities of ingredient A and ingredient B to

blend together to make oil-based and water-based paint. The oil-based paint contains 90 percent A and 10 percent B, whereas the water-based paint contains 30 percent A and 70 percent B. Quickbrush currently has 10,000 gallons of ingredient A and 5,000 gallons of ingredient B in inventory and cannot obtain more at this time. Assuming that x represents the number of gallons of oil-based paint, and y represents the gallons of water-based paint, which of the following constraint correctly represents the constraint on ingredient A?
a. 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000
b. 0.9A + 0.1B ≤ 10,000
c. 0.9x + 0.1y ≤ 10,000
d. 0.3x + .7y ≤ 10,000

Answer:

Constraint A is represented by 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000

Explanation:

Linear programming is a mathematical model that is used to solve a problem when a firm wants to maximize profit in the midst of multiple resource constraints.

The following steps should be followed:

<em>Step 1: Define the variables</em>

x= the gallons of oil-based paint

y= the gallons of water-based paint

<em>Step 2: Define the constraints:</em>

The constraints represent the limitations which could be resource; in this case ingredients A and B. Since the constraint in focus is A, so we only consider A

Constraint A = 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000

Non-negativity constraints x, y ≥ 0

Since the total inventory amount of ingredient A available is 10,000 gallons then the total consumption can either be equal to or less than 10,000, but can never be higher than 10,000

Constraint A is represented by 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000

A company originally issued​ 13,000 shares of​ $6 par value common stock at​ $12 per share. The board of directors declares a​12
Rashid [163]

Answer:

no option is correct

Explanation:

stocks to be distributed = 13,000 x 12% = 1,560

1,560 stocks x $22 = $34,320

  • 1,560 x $6 = $9,360
  • 1,560 x ($22 - $6) = $24,960

the journal entry to record the declaration of a small stock dividend (less than 20% of outstanding stocks) should be:

Dr Retained earnings (1,560 x $22) 34,320

    Cr Common stock dividend distributable (1,560 x $6) 9,360

    Cr Additional paid in capital 24,960

At year-end (December 31), Chan Company estimates its bad debts as 0.30% of its annual credit sales of $779,000. Chan records it
ki77a [65]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are as follows

On December 31

Bad debt expense Dr  $2,337     ($779,000 × 0.30%)

     To Allowance for doubtful debts  $2,337

(Being the estimated bad debt expense is recorded)      

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance as it decreased the assets  

On Feb 01

Allowance for doubtful debts Dr $390

    To Account receivable $390

(Being the written off amount is recorded)

For recording this we debited the allowance as it increased the allowance and credited the account receivable as it decreased the assets

On June 5

Account receivable $390

     To Allowance for doubtful debts Dr $390

(Being the uncollected amount is recorded)

For recording this we debited the account receivable as it increased the assets and credited the allowance as it decreased the assets  

On June 5

Cash Dr $390

      To Account receivable $390

(Being the cash received on account is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the account receivable as it decreased the assets

A team of workers make 500 units of a product having cost of $ 10 each. Actual cost is $ 400 for labor and $ 2000 for material &
Contact [7]

Answer:

1.72

Explanation:

SOLUTION

Cost of labor = $ 2000

Cost of material= $ 400

Overhead labor= $500

Multifactor productivity = (Value of Output/(Labor Cost + Material Cost + Overhead Cost))

(500 units)($10/unit)÷( $2,000 + $400+ $500)

= $5000÷$2900

= 1.72

XYZ Corp. applies manufacturing overhead costs to products at a budgeted indirect-cost rate of $65 per direct manufacturing labo
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Total production costs= $57,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= $65 per direct manufacturing labor-hour.

Direct materials of $35,000

250 direct manufacturing labor-hours at $25 per hour

<u>First, we need to allocate overhead:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 65*250= $16,250

<u>Now, the total production costs:</u>

Total production costs= 35,000 + 25*250 + 16,250

Total production costs= $57,500
