Answer:

E. Both S1's cost should be allocated (i.e., spread) over 140 employees and S2 should allocate a total of $390,000 to P1 and P2.

Explanation:

As S1 gives more service, So it would be allocated first

Here

S1 cost of $280,000 would be allocated to S2 P1 and P2 based on number  of employees

The total employees in S2 P1 and P2 is

= 20 + 50 + 70

= 140

And, the Cost to be allocated per employee is

= $280,000 ÷ 140

= $2,000

Now cost received by S2 is

= $2,000 × 20

= $40000

And, the cost received by P1 is

= $2,000 × 50

= $100,000

And, the cost received by P2 is

= $2,000 × $70

= $140,000

Now

S2 contains total cost of

= $350,000 + $40,000 (from S1)

= $390,000

So this would be allocated to P1 and P2 as S1 has already allocated  

Hence, option D is correct

Answer:

This is an example of multiple pricing.

Explanation:

Sometimes if you add all the extra charges, like shipping and handling, you might realize that the product being offered by the infomercial is actually more expensive than similar products that you can buy on retail stores or websites.

Infomercials do this on purpose, they use low selling prices as bait, but then they charge very high fees for processing your order and shipping it.

30 June                   Accounts  Receivable            $ 66,000

                                         Sales                $ 66,000

On June 30, 2021, the Esquire Company sold some merchandise to a customer for $66,000.

31 Mar                 Note Receivable         $ 66,000

                                  Account Receivable                  $ 66,000

                                            Sales                           $ 66,000

                             Interest Revenue                          $ 3960

To record the accrued interest earned. $66,000*8%= $ 5280. As it is for nine months the amount would be $ (5280/12)*9= $ 3960

31 March                  Cash                $ 71,280

                                              Interest Income $ 5280
