ducts only to friends and family and was able to pay for everything as she went along. Now that the business is growing, she knows she cannot finance the expansion out of her own pocket, so she is considering taking out a loan.

Based on the advantages and disadvantages for each type of financing mentioned below, the best method for financing the expansion for Wanda's business is taking a loan (e.g. 1 year).

<u>Take a term loan (e.g. 1 year)</u>

A term loan is best described as an amount provided by the bank for a fixed amount and a agreed payment schedule with an interest rate either fixed or floating.

The main advantage of a bank loan is that it would not be repaid on demand instead it would be paid back as per schedule within a period of 1 to 10 years. Another advantage is that you would only have to pay the bank the interest rate and not the company's profit or share.

The disadvantage is that when loans are taken, then the amount (principal) and interest is to be repaid even if the loan is not being used. Another possible disadvantage is that a loan can be obtained if you have any asset (such as a house or car) to be kept as security. This is a guarantee in the likely event the bank's loan is not repaid on time.

<u>Look for investors to fund her business in exchange for ownership in the company</u>

This means finding individuals/institutions to provide financing as capital to be used in business for expansion.

Unlike a bank loan, here the investors accept the risk that if the business fails then their financing would be lost. Therefore, if the business ends up in losses then the amount is not required to be returned to their respective financiers. Another advantage is that you don't require any credit history to earn financing through investors.

The main disadvantage is that the sharing (profits) are divided between multiple investors based on their investment or as per their agreed sharing ratio. Moreover, the new investors might prefer to take more risks for a business to grow and which means that the stakes are always high.

In conclusion, Wanda is working on a small business and which is expanding at a slow rate with the risk being kept at a bare minimum. In which case taking a loan with amount and duration being set at a point where she would be able to return the loan acquired, is a better financing option for Wanda's business.

se the following information to determine the break-even point in units (rounded to the nearest whole unit): Unit sales 60,000 U
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

30,154 units

Explanation:

In this question we use the formula of break-even point in unit sales which is shown below:

= (Fixed expenses) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

= $15 - $8.5

= $6.5

And, fixed cost is $196,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= ($196,000) ÷ ($6.5)

= 30,154 units

Maru [420]

Answer:

                                              30-Nov                 31-Dec

                                       debit      credit        debit      credit

supplies                       $2,000                    $3,500

prepaid Insurance      $8,000                    $6,000

salaries payable                           $11,000                  $16,000

unearned revenue                       $3,000                    $1,500

1. Purchases of supplies in December total $4,500.

Dr Supplies expense 3,000

    Cr Supplies 3,000

beginning balance = $2,000 + $4,500 = $6,500

supplies expense = $6,500 - ending balance

2. No insurance payments are made in December.

Dr Insurance expense 2,000

    Cr Prepaid insurance 2,000

Insurance expense = November 30's balance - December 31's balance

3. $11,000 is paid to employees during December for November salaries.

Dr Salaries expense 16,000

    Cr Salaries payable 16,000

The beginning balance of salaries payable = $11,000, then it was paid (balance = $0), so any ending balance represents wages expense.

4. On November 1, a tenant pays Golden Eagle $4,500 in advance rent for the period November through January.

Dr Unearned revenue 1,500

    Cr Rental revenue 1,500

Monthly rent revenue = $4,500 / 3 = $1,500

unearned revenue balance Nov. 30 = $3,000

unearned revenue balance Dec. 31 = $1,500

rental revenue = Nov. 30's balance - Dec. 31's balance
