Answer:

E) None of the choices are correct.

<em>As we given an option with two decimals which are different from the calculated amount we should take it as incorrect. </em>

Explanation:

The municipal bonds are tax free. Therfore, not included.

We will calcuatae based on 2019 income tax brackets for single-taxers

between $82,501 to $157,500 the amount is $14,089.50 + 24% of the amount over 78,950

100,000 - 82,501 = 17,499

17,499 x 24% = 4,199.76

14,089.50 + 4,199.76 =<em> 18.289,26‬</em>

Which of the following would not be an expected response from a decrease in the price level and so help to explain the slope of

OLEGan [10]

With prices down and wages fixed by contract, Milli's Frozen Pizzas decides to lay off workers would not be an expected response from a decrease in the price level.

<h3>What happens to the budget line if prices don't change but consumer income does?</h3>

Consumers will switch to the consumption of lower combinations of goods or services if their income declines. Since the cost of the commodities has not changed, the budget line will drop downward but the slope stays the same.

When one or both product prices fluctuate while nominal revenue (budget) stays the same, the budget line will alter. a change in the nominal income level with no change in the relative prices of the two goods.

During 2020, Nash Furniture Company purchases a carload of wicker chairs. The manufacturer sells the chairs to Nash for a lump s

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The manufacturer sells the chairs to Nash for a lump sum of $161,595.

Purchase:

Lounge chairs 1,080

Armchairs 810

Straight chairs 1,890

Sell:

Lounge chairs: 540 units at $90 =48600

Armchairs: 270 units at $80= 21600

Straight chairs: 324at $50= 16200

We need to determine the cost of sold goods. First, we will ponderate the lump sum cost for each type of chair.

Total units= 3780

Lounge= 1080/3780= 0.29

Armchairs= 810/3780= 0.21

Straight= 1890/3780= 0.5

Total cost= 161,595.

Lounge= 0.29* 161595= $46,862.55= $43.39

Armchairs= 0.21*161595= $33,934.95= $41.89

Straight= 0.5* 161595= $80,797.5= $42.75

Sales= $86400

COGS= (43.39*540) + (41.89*270) + (42.75*324)= 48,591.9

Gross profit= 37,808.1

Inventory= 161595 - 48491.9= %113,103.1

Polk Company manufactures basketballs.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

1. Material $1,490

Conversion $1,490

2. Material $1,490

Conversion $1,166

3.Cost of units transferred out $4,842

Cost of ending Work in process $1,838

4. $6,680

Explanation:

1.Computation of the Equivalent unit of production for material

Beginning Work In Process 400

Add Started during the year 1,090

Units to be accounted 1,490

Computation of the Equivalent unit of production for Conversion cost

Completed and transferred 950

(1,090+400 -540)

Add ending work in process 540

Units to be accounted for 1,490

2)Calculation for the unit costs of production for materials

Production units Materials

Completed& transferred 950 100% =950

Add Ending work in process 540 100%=540

Total 1,490 1,490

Calculation for the unit costs of production for conversion costs

Completed& transferred 950 100%=950

Add Ending work in process 540 40% =216

Total 1,490 1,166

3)Calculation for the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process

Equivalent cost per unit Materials Conversion Cost Total

Beginning work in process

760 590 =1,350

Cost added during the year

2,630 2,700 =5,330

(1,590+1,110=2,700)

Total cost

3,390 3,290 6,680

÷Equivalent units of production 1,490 1,166

=Equivalent cost per unit

2.275 2.822

Cost of units transferred out=

950× (2.275+2.822)

Cost of units transferred out=950×5.097

Cost of units transferred out= 4,842

Cost of ending Work in process

Direct materials 540×2.275 =1,228

Conversion cost 216×2.822= 610

Total (1,228+610)= 1,838

4)Preparation of a production cost report for the month of July for the basketballs.

Production Cost Report

Direct Materials 1,350

Add cost added during the year 5,330

Cost to be accounted for 6,680

Cost to be accounted for

Cost transferred out 4,842

950× (2.275+2.822)

Add cost of ending WIP 1,838

Shelley compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as part of a study about hardwood trees and a woodlot she

Masja [62]

There were 72 (108 - 36) more maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There were 108 maple trees in the woodlot before the bug problem. There are 36 maple trees in the woodlot after the bug problem.

The following information is given in the question:

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees before bug problem = 9:5

Ratio of maple trees to oak trees after replanting = 3:11

Total number of oak trees after replanting =132

Total number of trees in the woodlot is the same before and after the bug problem.

Let the number of maple trees after replanting be 'x'

From the data above, we can find the number of maple trees after replanting as follows:

$\frac{3}{11} = \frac{x}{132}$
