Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

They would need to have at least 3 computers

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Arrival rate = 15 persons per hour

Servicing rate = 60 / 10 = 6 persons per hour with one computer

Servicing rate with x number of computers = 6x per hour

Servicing rate at 90% utilisation = 6x (0.90) = 5.40x per hour

Therefore to service 13 arrivals per hour, we will need x computers = 15/ 5.40 = 2.78

With 2 computers, the service capacity will be 12 per hour and the utilisation will be 15/12 = 125%, which exceeds the organiser’s standard of 90% utilization.

With 3 computers, the service capacity increases to 18 persons per hour. If only 13 persons arrive, the utilisation rate will be 15 / 18 = 83.33%, below the required maximum of 90% utilisation.

Therefore, the 2.78 can be rounded off to next whole number 3 computers

Tom transfers a building that originally cost $40,000 to Paul Corp. in exchange for 100% of the corporation's stock. the adjuste

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Gain recognized by Tom is $10000

So option (b) will be correct answer

Explanation :

We have given liability on bulding assumed by Paul Corp = $30,000

Tom's adjusted basis in the building = $20,000

Since the liability assumed by Paul Corp on the building is greater than Tom's adjusted basis, Tom must recognize gain equal to the difference between the liability on the building and his adjusted basis.

So gain recognized by Tom = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

8. Brady Inc. reported FIFO ending inventory of $114,000 and FIFO beginning inventory of $110,000 for 2018. Inventory purchases

atroni [7]

Answer:

$232,825

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculation of cost of goods sold (COGS) under First In First Out (FIFO)

Since we know that;

Ending inventory = Beginning inventory + Purchase - COGS of FIFO

Therefore, we can rearrange to make COGS the subject of the formula and substitute the values as follows:

COGS under FIFO = Beginning inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory

= $110,000 + $237,500 - $114,000 =

COGS under FIFO = $233,500

Step 2: Calculation of COGS under Last In First Out (LIFO)

COGS under LIFO = COGS under FIFO - Rise in LIFO reserve

= $233,500 - $675

COGS under LIFO = $232,825

Therefore, the value of COGS LIFO for Brady Inc. in 2018 is $232,825.

West Company borrowed $36,000 on September 1, 2016 from the Valley Bank. West agreed to pay interest annually at the rate of 6%

Illusion [34]

Answer:

$720

Explanation:

Given that,

Principal = $36,000

Rate = 6% per year

Note issued by West carried an 18-month term.

Time period: 1st September to December = 4 Months

Interest expense = Principal × Rate × Time period

= 36,000 × 6% × (4 ÷ 12)

= $720

Therefore, the amount of interest expense appearing on West's 2016 income statement would be $720.
