Answer:

a. See part a below for the analysis.

b. We have:

1. Division A total cost = $1,131,000

2. Division A total profit or benefit = $1,509,000

3. Division B total cost = $1,320,000

4. Division A total profit or benefit = $44,000

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of calculation of costs and benefits of options available to Divisions A and B.

a. What are the costs and benefits of the alternatives available to Division A and Division B with respect to the transfer of Division A's product? Assume that Division A can market all that it can produce.

Under this condition, each analysis is based on the condition that either Division A or Division B will pay for the transportation cost.

From part a the attached excel file, we have:

1. Division A will incur a total cost of of $559,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $761,000 if it sells to the outside market.

2. Division A will incur a total cost of of $647,000 and gets a profit or benefit of $673,000 if it sells to Division B.

3. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,408,000 if it buys from Division A.

4. Division B will incur a total cost of $1,364,000 if it buys alternate supplier. It thereby saves the transportation cost of $88,000 of buying from A as a benefit.

b. How would your answer change if Division A had idle capacity sufficient to cover all of Division B's needs?

Under this condition, it is assumed that Division A will pay for the transportation cost. Therefore, Division A will sell to both the outside market and Division B.

From part b of the attached excel file, we will have the following based on this condition:

1. Division A total cost = Total cost of selling to the outside market + Total cost of selling to Division B = $559,000 + $572,000 = $1,131,000

2. Division A profit or benefit cost = Total profit or benefits of selling to the outside market + Total profit or benefits of selling to Division B = $761,000 + $748,000 = $1,509,000

3.  Division B will incur a total cost of $1,320,000 by buying from Division A. It thereby saves $44,000 (i.e. $1,364,000 - $1,320,000 = $44,000) as a benefit for not buying from alternate supplier.

frozen [14]

Answer:  Debit Petty cash $408; Credit Cash $408.

Explanation: Petty cash is a small amount of fund set aside for immediate or urgent minor expenses. In most organizations, there is a limit to the petty cash amount that a business unit can have. And someone is always saddled with the responsibility of managing the fund. It has its business rule in the sense that the amount should not be withdrawn beyond zero balance to throw it into debit.

In the instance of the question, the petty cash is $460 and within September, total expenses of $316 were incurred and paid for, leaving a balance of $144. However, the accountant determines that this cash should be increased by $92 on 1 October, so reimbursement to the fund would be the amount already spent ($316) and the proposed increment ($92), making $408.

Ramos Inc. has total assets of $1,000 and total liabilities of $450 on December 31, 20Y6. Assume that assets increased by $130 a
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The owner's equity be as of December 31, 20Y7 is $705

Explanation:

In this question, we apply the accounting equation which is given below

Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder's equity

The question has said that the liabilities are decreased and the assets are increased.

So, the new asset is = total assets + increased amount

                                 = $1,000 + $130

                                 = $1,130

And, So, the new liability is = total liabilities - decreased amount

                                 = $450 - $25

                                 = $425

So, the shareholder equity would be equal to

= $1,130 - $425

= $705

Hence, the owner's equity be as of December 31, 20Y7 is $705

if a bookseller buys a paperback book for 4$ and the book is labeled with a selling price of 6.99,how much is the dollar markup?
lbvjy [14]
Given:
Selling price = 6.99
Cost = 4

The dollar markup is computed by deducting the cost from the selling price.

6.99 - 4 = 2.99 is the dollar mark-up based on cost.

2.99/4 = 0.7475 x 100% = 74.75% is the percentage mark-up based on cost.
