For each cost pool, identify an appropriate cost driver.

A company’s total monthly sales (in millions of dollars) t months from now are given by:

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a) $\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

b) $S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

c) For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

d) $S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

e) This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function for the sales

$S(t) = 0.5 t^2 +3t -5$

Part a

For this case we want to find the derivate of S respect to t and we got:

$\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3$

Part b

For this case we want to find the value of S when t = 4 so if we replace we got:

$S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million$

Part c

For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

Part d

For this case we just need to replace t=4 in the derivate and we got:

$S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million$

Part e

This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

The following are tge workings:

w.1: Treasury stock = $5,000 * $20 = $10,000

w.2: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares - Shares repurchase) * Dividend per share = (60,000 - 5,000) * $4 = 55,000 * $4 = $220,000

w.3: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 1,875 * $24 = $45,000

w.4 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 1,875 * $20 = $37,500

w.5: Additional paid in capital = Number of shares sold * (Selling price per share - Treasury price per share) = 1,875 * ($24 - $20) = $7,500

w.6: Cash = Number of shares sold * Selling price per share = 3,125 * $17 = $53,125

w.7 = Treasury stock = Number of shares sold * Treasury price per share = 3,125 * $20 = $62,500

w.8: Balancing figure = Treasury stock (w.7) – Cash (w.7) - Additional paid in capital (w.5) = $62,500 - $53,125 - $7,500 = $1,875

w.9: Dividend payable = (Issued and outstanding shares * Dividend per share = 60,000 * $4 = $240,000
