Answer:

a. We need more information to answer

Explanation:

In order to correctly answer his question we need more information. Economy is all about the margin, i.e. marginal revenue versus marginal cost. We are given the marginal revenue ($20/hr of tutoring services) but we are not given the marginal costs of tutoring. We only know that the cost of tutoring the first hour is $14, but what about the rest of the hours. Since you have 5 clients, you must be tutoring more than 1 hour per day. It is always easier to determine the marginal revenue since we determine it, while we cannot determine which costs we would like to incur.

Profits should be maximized when marginal revenue = marginal cost, but unless we know the marginal cost of tutoring the rest of the students we simply cannot answer this question.

On January 1, 2021, Red Inc. issued stock options for 200,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair v
morpeh [17]

Answer:

$400,000

Explanation:

The compensation expense to be recognized in 2021 is portion of the options value for one year.

Total value of the options=200,000*$6=$1,200,000

Compensation expense per year=fair value of the options/vesting period

fair value of the options is $1,200,000

vesting period is 3 years

compensation expense per year=$1,200,000/ 3 years=$400,000

The $400,000 compensation expense is debited to compensation expense account and credited to paid in capital-stock options $400,000 for each of the vesting period until the paid in capital -stock options account balance becomes $1,200,000 at end of year 3

When iTunes sells a song or movie, it must record the transaction in accounts. Which accounts might iTunes use when it sells a s
Kay [80]

Since the actual process of the transaction is instantaneous, and its takes the money directly out of your account, the account they're dealing with is most likely Revenue.

Accounts Receivable is also another option that may come to mind, but remember that in this account, the seller is waiting for payment. Once the responsible party pays the seller, A/R is credited (decreased) and Revenue is debited (increased).

With iTunes (as stated previously), the transaction happens right then and there. We pay cash and iTunes gives us the song/movie/album/etc. Therefore, the only logical answer would be <u>Revenue</u>. In this case, <em>Sales Revenue</em> since we're dealing with a type of retailer and not a service.

1. David has a monthly net income of $1,360. His fixed monthly expenses consist of a rent
zalisa [80]

Answer:

The largest monthly payment he can afford for the T.V set in order to be kept within a safe load of 20% is $156

Explanation:

Before we calculate, let us extract the key information from this question:-

*** David's monthly net income is $1,360

*** David pays a monthly rent of $450

*** He is paying off a student loan which costs him $116 per month.

*** He intends purchasing a new T.v set

*** We are simply required to determine the largest monthly payment that David can afford for the T.v set in order for him to be kept within a safe load of 20%.

In order to calculate the largest monthly payment that he can afford for the T.v set so as to be kept within a safe load of 20%, we will need to determine the actual amount that is twenty percent of his net income. If his net income is $1,360 then twenty percent of it is:

20/100 × 1360

= 27200/100

= $272

All we need to do now to find the largest monthly payment he can afford for the TV set is to subtract the student loan that he is paying off monthly ($116) from twenty percent of his net income ($272). That is:-

$272 - $116 = $156

Therefore the largest monthly payment that David can afford for the television set in order for his credit card payments and student loan to keep him within a safe debt load of 20% is $156.
