Solution :
At every stage the formula used will be :
After the junior year, Aunt Mabel's bank balance will be :
= $ 7,322.65
Aunt Mabel's bank balance after sophomore year will be :
7,322.65 + 1000 = $ 8,322.65
= $ 8060.677
After the freshman year, bank balance of Aunt Mable's will be :
8060.677 + 6000 = $ 14,060.677
= $ 14.0606
If Aunt Mabel can predict the interest rate with accuracy, she will have to deposit :
$ 14.0606 + $ 9000 = $ 9,014.06
= $ 8,565.241
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Total material variance = Actual quantity × Actual rate - Standard quantity × Standard rate
= 29000 × $6.3 - (16,000 units × 2) × $6
= $182,700 - $192,000
= - $9,300 favorable
Material price variance = Actual quantity × Actual price - Actual quantity × Standard price
= (29,000 units × $6.3) - (29,000 units × $6)
= $182,700 - $174,000
= $8,700 unfavorable
Material quantity variance = Standard quantity × Actual quantity - Standard rate × Standard quantity
= $6 × 29,000 units - $6 × (16,000 units × 2)
= $174,000 - $192,000
= -$18,000 favorable
The favorable is when the standard cost is more than the actual one while the unfavorable is when the standard cost is less than the actual one
Answer:
- Threat of Substitutes
- Threat of New entrants/ Competitors
Explanation:
This question relates to Porter's five forces.
A patent on a good protects that good from being able to be copied or produced by other companies.
Should a company lose this protection, companies will be allowed to make substitutes to the products without running afoul of the law. The company will therefore face an increased threat from Substitutes.
Other companies will also be able to produce the goods or offer the services now which would mean that new entrants/ competitors can come into the market for that good or service.
Answer:
the depreciation expense at the end of the first year, December 31 is $ 8,250
Explanation:
Straight line Method of Depreciation Charges the same amount of depreciation over the useful life of the asset.
Depreciation Charge = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life
Depreciation Charge = ($50,000-$6,000) / 4 years
= $11,000
<u>Apportionment of Depreciation Charge</u>
<em>From April 5 to December 13 there are 9 months</em>
Therefore depreciation for the year is apportioned as follows :
Depreciation Charge = 9/12× $11,000
= $ 8,250
