Texas charges 8.5 percent for sales tax. Minnesota doesn’t charge sales tax on clothing. A resident of Texas is going on a trip

to Minneapolis next week and is considering buying some new clothes. However, the traveller will need an extra suitcase to bring the clothing home and the airline charges an extra $25 to check another suitcase on the plane. The traveller has a $300 budget for new clothes. Should she buy the clothes in Texas or Minnesota? Use the smart decision model we learned in class. Justify your answer mathematically and include an emotional evaluation.

Answer:  Buy in Texas

Explanation:  Let X be the amount that can spent on clothes in Texas.  The total cost would be:

Total = X + (0.085X)  [The cost of the clostes plus 8.5% sales tax]

$300 = X*(1.085)

X = $276.50 on the clothes

For Minnesota, the total that can be spent on clothes is $300 - 2*(25) = $250 on the clothes.  [$50 is for the extra suitcase, 2*$25 for both ways].

The extra cost of a second suitcase is higher than the sales tax in MN, so Texas is less expensive, in spite of the sales tax.  

Emotionally, it is a hard decision.  MN would seem to offer a more cosmopoliton range of choices than Texas, and that is exciting.  But only a few in Texas wear cosmopoliton, prefering durable, cowboy, big-buckle fashion.  So while not as exciting, your friends won't tease you about your MN style choices.

Terrence Industries charges manufacturing overhead to products by using a predetermined application rate, computed on the basis
puteri [66]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we need to get the predetermined rate

Predetermined rate = Cost of manufacturing overhead / Cost driver

= $1,800,000/60,000

= $30

We will now calculate the application.

Actual labor hours × rate

= 61,500 × $30

= $1,845,000

We will now compare actual with overhead cost

= Applied Overhead cost - Actual manufacturing overhead

= $1,845,000 - $1,810,000

= $35,000

The above is an over application of overhead cost because the cost applied exceed the actual cost.

On June 1, 2018, Blue Co. distributed to its common stockholders 180,000 outstanding common shares of its investment in Red, Inc
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Blue Co. Shall report $396,000 as gain before income taxes on disposal of the stock.

Explanation:

Book value per share of Red Inc = $1.20 per share

As the value of share is revised just after the declaration but before distribution there will be gain on sale of investment.

Net gain = Sale price - Book value

= $3.40 - $1.20 per share = $2.2 per share

Total gain for the year end on June 30 will be

= $2.2 per share X 180,000 shares = $396,000 shares

Thus Blue Co. Shall report $396,000 as gain before income taxes on disposal of the stock.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Because many consumers choose stores based on proximity to their workplaces or homes, great locations are : <u>a competitive advantage that few rivals can duplicate.</u>

<u></u>

A consumer is someone who buys things for a non-commercial purpose, either for themselves or for others. Companies use consumer marketing campaigns to sell to consumers. Campaign messaging focuses on both acquiring potential customers and retaining current customers.

Consumers can be either an individual or group of people who purchase or use goods and services solely for personal use, and not for manufacturing or resale. They are the end-users in the sales distribution chain.

There are four types of consumers: omnivores, carnivores, herbivores and decomposers. Herbivores are living things that only eat plants to get the food and energy they need.
