gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500

Explanation:

The question says to determine amount to be included in the journal entry to record Ronald's withdrawal from the partnership

Assumption: Equal Profit- loss sharing is the agreement between the existing partners.

First premise: Ronald's Capital in the Partnership = $77,000

However, Ronald received a payment of $86,000 meaning that there is an excess of $86,000-$77,000= $9,000

Since the agreement is equal profit and loss sharing, it means each of Ross and Carol will contribute 1/2 of the $9,000.

The journal entry to record this transaction is as follows:

Particulars Debit Credit

Carol Capital Account $4,500

Ross Capital Account $4,500

Ronald Capital Account $9,000

Being the equal contribution of excess amount paid to Ronald on exit from the partnership by Carol and Ross.

Based on the multiple choices, the correct answer is Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500

Describes how a monopoly controls an industry

stira [4]

Answer:

Key ideas:

A single entity controls the flow of the product.
Possesses the power to limit prices.
Will have some influence in politics.
Difficult for new companies to enter the market.

Explanation:

Monopoly refers to the state when there is only one company controlling the flow of products, therefore controlling the prices of it. There are a lot of examples of monopoly in the contemporary era such as AB Inbev, but it doesn't mean that it is totally a modern concept. Monopoly existed even in history take for example the case of Carnegie steel mills or the issue of railroads.

When one company possess such power that it can control the price, it can badly damages the interest of other investors and consumers. But the reason they create a monopoly is that they have heavy influence in politics. That is how they turn up the decisions to their own benefits. And monopolies always try to create hurdles for new investors to get in the market. Because they are charging whatever they want due to no competition, as soon as new competition arrive it will challenge the monopoly which it can't take.

Tiny went back to his office after the meeting and began to crunch the numbers on the rapid inflator. At a price of $10 per unit

Artist 52 [7]

Solution and Explanation:

Part A - Inflatable divisions's Current Return on Investment = Yearly Earnings / Investment Cost * 100

There the Inflatable Division is Currently Earning $ 250,000 annually from an Asset base of $ 1,250,000

Therefore, ROI = $250000 / 1250000 * 100=20 \%$

Part B - Let the maximum variable cost be X.

Given that - 1. Selling Price per Unit = $10 , 2. No of Units to be produced = 40000 , 3. Annual Fixed Cost = $ 140000

Therefore , ROI = Current Earning + New Earning / Current Assets + New Assets

20% = $250000+[(10-\mathrm{X}) * 40000-\underline{140000}] / 1250000+100000$

Solve for X getting, X = 6

Therefore maximum variable cost it can incur without change in current ROI is $ 6 per unit

Resulting Contribution Margin per Unit = SP - VC = $10 minus $6 = $4 per unit

part C - Minimum Transfer Lightning division Should charge

Given Information - Capacity of Lightning division is 150000 units and Utilized capacity is 135000 units. Therefore Spare capacity is 15000 units .Also Market Price of Product of Lightning division is $ 5 and Variable cost is $3 per unit.

So for the First 15000 units of Requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Variable cost i.e $ 3 per unit because Lightning division has spare capacity in this.

For the next 25000 units of requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Market Price i.e $ 5 per unit as Lightning division has to reduce is external sale.

Therefore Minimum TP = 1 $5000 * 3+25000 * 5 / 40000=\$ 4.25$ per Unit

Part D - No, Here Tiny offers to transfer $4 ( $6 - $2 ) per unit to Lightning division. However the minimum TP Lightning should get is 4.25 per unit and if less than this TP is offered by Tiny it will lead to loss in the Lightning Division.
