Answer:

7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Explanation:

Let x packets of​ sweet-pepper seeds for ​$2.16 each and y packets of​ hot-pepper seeds for ​$4.24 each are mixed to obtain 16​-packet mixed pepper assortment for ​$3.33 per packet,

i.e. x + y = 16       ..........(1)

Also,

The price of sweet-pepper seeds + price of hot pepper seeds = price of the mixture

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33(x+y)

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y = 3.33x+3.33y

⇒ 2.16x + 4.24y - 3.33x-3.33y = 0

⇒ −1.17x +0.91y = 0  ........(2)

Equation (2) + 1.17 × equation (1)

0.91y + 1.17y = 18.72

2.08y = 18.72

⇒ y = 9

From equation (1),

x + 9 = 16 ⇒ x = 16 - 9 ⇒ x = 7

Hence, there are 7 packets of  sweet-pepper seeds and 9 packet of hot-pepper seeds.

Plum Corporation

(1) current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

(2) acid-test ratio = (Current asset -Inventory)/Current liabilities

(3) working capital = Current assets minus Current liabilities

(4) acid-test assets = quick assets

May 2 Purchased $75,000 of merchandise inventory on credit.

Current Assets:   $1,400,000 + $75,000 = $1,475,000

Current Liabilities: $737,000 + $75,000 = $812,000

Inventory: $147,000 +$75,000 = $222,000

(1) current ratio = $1,475,000/$812,000

= 1.82:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,475,000 - $222,000/$812,000

= 1.54:1

(3) working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities

= $1,475,000 - $812,000

= $663,000

Current Liabilities: $812,000

Inventory: $222,000 - 55,000 = $167,000

Quick Assets = $1,570,000 - 167,000 = $1,403,000

(1) current ratio = $1,570,000/$812,000

= 1.93

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,403,000/$812,000

= 1.73

(3) working capital = $1,570,000 - $812,000

= $758,000

May 10 Collected $26,000 cash on an account receivable.

Current Assets: $1,570,000 ($26,000 - $26,000) = $1,570,000

= 1.93

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,403,000/$812,000

= 1.73

Inventory: 167,000

Quick Assets = $1,540,500 - 167,000 = $1,373,500

(1) current ratio = $1,540,500/$782,500

= 1.97:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,373,500/$782,500

= 1.76:1

(3) working capital = $1,540,500 - $782,500

= $758,000

= 1.96:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,535,500/$782,500

= $1.96:1

(3) working capital = $1,535,500 - $782,500

=$753,000

Quick Assets = $1,466,500 - 167,000 = $1,299,500

(1) current ratio = $1,466,500/$782,500

= 1.87:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,299,500/$782,500

= 1.66:1

(3) working capital = $1,466,500 - $782,500

= $684,000

Inventory: 167,000

Quick Assets = $1,586,500 - 167,000 = $1,419,500

(1) current ratio = $1,586,500/$902,500

= 1.76

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,419,500/$902,500

= 1.57

(3) working capital = $1,586,500 - $902,500

= $684,000

May 28 Borrowed $135,000 cash by signing a long-term secured note.

Current Liabilities: $902,500

Inventory: 167,000

Quick Assets = $1,721,500 - 167,000 = $1,554,500

(1) current ratio = $1,721,500/$902,500

= 1.91:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,554,500/$902,500

= 1.72

(3) working capital = $1,721,500 - $902,500

= $819,000

May 29 Used the $255,000 cash proceeds from the notes to buy new machinery.

Current Assets:  $1,721,500 - $255,000 = $1,466,500

Current Liabilities: $902,500

Inventory: 167,000

Quick Assets = $1,466,500 - 167,000 = $1,299,500

(1) current ratio = $1,466,500/$902,500

= 1.62:1

(2) acid-test ratio = $1,299,500/$902,500

= 1.44:1

(3) working capital = $1,466,500 - $902,500

= $564,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

May 1, Current Assets = $1,400,000

Ratio of current assets to current liabilities = 1.90:1

Acid -test ratio = 1.70:1

Therefore, current liabilities = $1,400,000/1.9 = $737,000

Current Assets minus Inventory/$737,000 = 1.7

Therefore, current assets minus inventory = $737,000 * 1.7 = 1,253,000

Inventory = Current Assets - (Current assets -inventory)

= $1,400,000 - $1,253,000

= $147,000

omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

Inertia is called in physics the resistance that bodies oppose to modify their state of motion or stillness, either to alter their speed, their course or to stop; although the term also applies to the modifications of your physical state.

A body, thus, requires a force that overcomes inertia to alter its trajectory, which would otherwise adhere to the laws of uniform rectilinear motion, or to initiate a movement, otherwise it would remain at rest. This, of course, considering that there is no rest or rectilinear and uniform movement in the universe, except based on a reference (observation) system. That is why it is preferred to speak of "relative rest."
