Answer:

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine.

Explanation:

<em>Differential Analysis</em>

Purchase cost of the new machine                                 (83,000)

Savings from annual variable cost(8500×8)                   68,000

Variable cost of running the new machine (5,000×8)   (40,000)

Scrap value of the old machine                                    <u>    56,300 </u>  

Differential savings                                                       <u>      1,300   </u>

Replacing the old machine would produce a net saving of $1,300

The sunk cost in this situation is the purchase cost (i.e $105,000) of the old machine. It is a past cost incurred as a result old decision.

As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Horace Company determined that it had inventory worth $320,000 at December 31, 201
zimovet [89]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b) $367,000

Explanation:

Here for calculating the correct amount of inventory that Horace should report can be calculated through, by adding the inventory worth $320,000 at 31 December, 2015 with consignment given to Herschel worth $47,000, SO

Correct amount of inventory =

                        Amount of inventory on 31 December

                                                     +

                        Consignment given to Herschel

= $320,000 + $47,000

= $367,000

Here we are taking Herschel consignment in to account and that too at the historical purchase cost because Horace company has give the Herschel to sell the goods on his behalf but the transfer of ownership has not taken place here , the right to ownership here remains with the Horace and the amount at which they should be recorded is at purchase cost not selling cost.

We will also not include goods worth $ 22,000 in to the calculation because the Horace company has not received the goods physically yet, we will include those goods in to inventory on January 3 not before that.

The distribution of income for Dismal is as follows: Number of Families Income 1,000 less than $10,000 2,000 between $10,000 and
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$20,000 (b.)

Explanation:

In order order to calculate the poverty line for Dismal, we will first of all calculate the total number of families in Dismal as follows:

from lowest to high income = 1,000 + 2,000 + 2,000 + 800 + 200 = 6,000

Next, we are told that the poverty rate = 50% = 0.05

Since the Total families = 6000

Therefore, number of poor families = 50% of 6,000 = 0.05 × 6000 = 3,000

Therefore 3,000 families are poor in Dismal

To determine the poverty line, we will count from the lowest earning families upwards until the 3,000th family. The highest income of the 3,000 families counted forms the poverty line. This is done as follows:

1,000 families = $10,000

2,000 families = $10,000 to $20,000

These two groups make up the first 3000 families, and the highest income in the group is $20,000.

Hence the poverty line of Dismal = $20,000
