the company cannot sell more than 100 units of A per day. Both products use one raw material, of which the maximum daily availability is 240 lb. The usage rater of the raw material are 2lb per unit of A and 4 lb per unit of B. The profit units for A and B are $20 and $50, repectively.

Answer:

i) Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 ) =  $2600

ii) $3000

Explanation:

representing products  A and B as x₁ and x₂

using the given data

Max ( z ) = 20x₁ + 50x₂  ( optimal product mix for optimal profit )  ---- ( 1 )

0.8 ( x₁ + x₂ )  ≥ 0

0.8x₁  + 0.8x₂ ≥ 0 ------------ ( 2 )

also  x₁ ≤ 100 --- ( 3 )    considering the amount to be sold ( sales volume )

based on the availability of raw material

2x₁ + 4x₂ ≤ 240 ----- ( 4 )

resolve equations 2, 3, and 4 graphically

x₁ = 80 units , x₂ = 20 units

back to equation 1

Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 )

   = 1600 + 1000  = $2600

ii) To increase the number of units of A produced

given that x₁ ≤ 100   and the actual optimal units produced = 80 units

2600 + 20(100-80)

= 2600 + 20(20)  = 2600 + 400 = $3000

Ivenika [448]

<u>Full question:</u>

On June 15, Harper purchased equipment for $100,000 from Imperial Corp. for use in its manufacturing process. Harper paid for the equipment with funds borrowed from Eastern Bank. Harper gave Eastern a security agreement and financing statement covering Harper’s existing and after-acquired equipment. On June 21, Harper was petitioned involuntarily into bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code. A bankruptcy trustee was appointed. On June 23, Eastern filed the financing statement. Which of the parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment?

A. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the filing of the financing statement after the commencement of the bankruptcy case would be deemed a preferential transfer.

B. The trustee in bankruptcy, because the trustee became a lien creditor before Eastern perfected its security interest.

C. Eastern, because it had a perfected purchase money security interest without having to file a financing statement.

D. Eastern, because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.

<u>Answer:</u>

Eastern parties will have a superior security interest in the equipment because it perfected its security interest within the permissible time limits.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Eastern has a higher security interest because Eastern amended its security interest inside the allowable time deadlines. A perfected security interest in any security interest in an asset that cannot be demanded by any other party.  

Below the Uniform Commercial Code (U.C.C.), to perfect a security interest, a lender has 10 days from the date of the sale of material to perfect the security interest by filing a financing statement.  Possessing registered in the 10-day limit, Eastern has a strong perfected security interest in the material and after-acquired things even though the bankruptcy was recorded two days ahead.

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 5.440

  • FINAL Balance 2022  

Dr Accounts Receivable  $ 23.000  

Cr Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts  $ 4.600

If the company applies the allowance method, it means that the account Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts must show as balance the % of accounts receivables as CREDIT.

Because the company has a debit balance in that account it's necessary to register an entry that compensate the DEBIT value and reflect A CREDIT estimated as % of account receivable.

Bad accounts are those credits granted by the company and there is no possibility of being charged.

When customers buy products on credits but the company cannot collect the debt, then it's necessary to cancel the unpaid invoice as uncollectible.

One way is to directly cancel bad debts at the time it was decided that the credit is bad, the total amount reported as bad debt expenses negatively affect the income statement and the accounts receivable are reduced by the same amount, less assets

The other way is to determine a percentage of the total amount of accounts receivable as bad debts, there are many ways to analyze accounts receivable and calculate the value of bad debts.

When the company has the percentage of uncollectible accounts, the required journal entry is Bad Expenses (debit) with Reserve for Bad Accounts (credit)

At the time of cancellation, since the expenses were recognized before, we only use the Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts (Debit)  with accounts receivable (credit), with this we are recognizing the bad credit of the company.

Initial margin requirements are determined by:________
Goryan [66]

Answer:

b. the Federal Reserve System.

Explanation:

Initial margin refers to the deposit made by an investor with a broker, in order to open a margin account. The purpose of initial margin is security and collateral to ensure enough availability of cash in the trading account of the investor.

For instance an investor wants to purchase 4000 shares priced at 15$. In this case, he is supposed to deposit 50% of $60,000 i.e $30,000. The remaining $30,000 is contributed by the brokerage firm, regarded as borrowings on which the investor pays interest.

The initial margin limit is fixed by the Federal Reserve System.

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Qualifying widower with a dependent child

Explanation:

By filing as a widower with dependent child (the child is a necessary qualification requirement), Bob can use the same tax bracket and retain the same benefits as filing as married. This means that his income will be taxed at a lower rate than if he had filed as single, and he will obtain the same deduction as a married couple (twice the deduction for a single filer).
