Answer:

The correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The question is therefore completed before answering the question by providing the options as follows:

A. No, because the debtor incurred no additional detriment that would serve as consideration for the new agreement.

B. Yes, because it would have cost the creditor $1,200 to purchase the entertainment system himself.

C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

D. Yes, because the new agreement between the debtor and the creditor is enforceable with or without

Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows.

It is possible to enforce the two parties' new agreement as an accord.

An accord can be described as an agreement in which one party to an existing contract agrees to accept some other, different performance from the other party in lieu of the performance that the other party is obligated to provide. In principle, an agreement must be backed by payment, but the consideration can be less than the amount agreed upon in the preceding contract if it is of a different character or the claim is to be paid to a third party. The responsibility of the debtor to supply the creditor with a new entertainment system was enough fresh consideration to constitute a legal agreement in this case.

When a party's responsibility is modified in some way, as the debtor's duty was in this case, the preceding legal duty rule does not apply. It makes no difference whether the creditor's benefit in the accord arrangement is equal to the original debt's worth; courts will find appropriate consideration if the consideration is fresh or different in any way. The difference in the debtor's obligation, that is, payment is in the form of an entertainment system rather than cash) is enough to sustain the accord arrangement, regardless of how much the entertainment system would have cost the creditor.

The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) does not apply because the original agreement was not for the sale of goods. The underlying commitment in this case was to pay a debt secured by a promissory note.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Yes, because the debtor incurred a different obligation than he already had.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Total cost= $877,500

Explanation:

<u> First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:</u>

Unitary variable cost= 135,000 / 30,000= $4.5

Unitary variable cost= 180,000 / 40,000= $4.5

Unitary variable cost= 225,000 / 50,000= $4.5

<u>Now, the total cost for 35,000 hours:</u>

Total cost= Unitary variable cost*total number of hours + fixed costs

Total cost= 4.5*35,000 + 720,000

Total cost= $877,500

Incorrect answer icon Your answer is incorrect. The total estimated manufacturing overhead of $264,000 was comprised of $168,000

AlexFokin [52]

Under activity-based costing (ABC), the amounts of materials handling costs assigned to the following units are:

(a) One mobile safe $210 per unit .

(b) One walk-in safe $168 per unit.

<h3>What is activity-based costing?</h3>

Activity-based costing is the costing method that assigns overhead and indirect costs to products and services based on consumption of activities.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Materials handling costs = $168,000

Purchasing activity costs = $96,000

Total estimated manufacturing overhead = $264,000 ($168,000 + $96,000)

The following figures are assumed:

<u>Activities</u>:

Materials handling cost $168,000

Total hours of materials handling = 40,000 hours

Activity rate = $4.20 ($168,000/40,000) per hour

Purchasing activity cost = $96,000

Number of units purchased = 30,000

Activity rate = $3.20 ($96,000/30,000)

<u>Consumption of activities</u>:

Material Handling hours Number of Units used

Mobile safe per unit 50 hours 3 units

Walk-in safe per unit 40 hours 2 units

<u>Overhead assigned</u>:

Material Handling

Mobile safe per unit 50 hours x $4.20 = $210

Walk-in safe per unit 40 hours x $4.20 = $168

Thus, under activity-based costing (ABC), the amounts of materials handling costs assigned to the following units are as indicated above.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

The required entries on 14 January is as follows:

Dr Notes receivable $5,000

Cr Sales $5,000

Explanation:

No doubt by selling the merchandise a sale transaction has been discharged since the ownership of the goods has changed hands between the seller and the buyer,hence the seller can record a sale by crediting sales account.

However, since the cash has not been received nor is the transaction a mere credit sale where accounts receivable would been debited,neither the cash nor accounts receivable can be debited.

The debit goes to the notes receivable account, without considering the interest as the interest is considered later on when payment becomes due.
