Explanation:
The skyline and the pine had a contract to deliver a certain quantity of brick to Skyline's business every month on the first week for seven months.
But the Pine Lumber was always late in his delivery, but Skyline does not have the legal right to cancel the contract at the seventh month because if Skyline had problem, they would have cancelled the contract in the first or second month but they failed to do so.
After receiving the bricks late for 6 months and then cancelling the contract on the seventh month is not legal. If they had they would have cancelled it prior.

A company is evaluating a new 4-year project. The equipment necessary for the project will cost $3,050,000 and can be sold for $670,000 at the end of the project. The asset is in the 5-year MACRS class. The depreciation percentage each year is 20.00 percent, 32.00 percent, 19.20 percent, 11.52 percent, and 11.52 percent, respectively. The company's tax rate is 34 percent. What is the aftertax salvage value of the equipment?
Answer:
$718,606.4
Explanation:
The first step is to calculate the accumulated depreciation
=$3,050,000×(0.2+0.32+0.192+0.1152)
= $3,050,000×0.8272
= $2,522,960
The accumulated depreciation is then subtracted from the book value in purchase to get the book value on sale
= $3,050,000-$2,522,960
= $527,040
The next step is to subtract the book value on sale from the salvage value
= $527,040-$670,000
= -$142,960
Loss of - $142,960
The tax gain on disposal can be calculated as follows
= -$142,960×34/100
= -$142,960×0.34
= -$48,606.4
Therefore, the after-tax salvage value can be calculated as follows
= salvage value-tax disposal
= $670,000-(-48,606.4)
= $670,000+$48,606.4
= $718,606.4
Hence the aftertax salvage value of the equipment is $718,606.4
.Many of the same environmental factors, such as cultural factors, that operate in the domestic market also exist internationally. Discuss the key cultural factors Starbucks had to consider as it expanded into China.
Answer:
There are three main cultural factors that influece the consumer's behavior when it comes to the decision making process and those are: the culture, the subculture and the social class. Below is explained briefly the importance of them.
Explanation:
To begin with, the most important cultural factor that tend to influence in the particular society and more specifically in the consumers is the culture itself. The culture of the country will show very positive or negative influences regarding the purchase of the product when it comes to the buyers' decision's process and therefore that in this case presented Starbucks will have to consider the culture of the whole country as well as the social class and the subculture of every region in particular where they planned to establish. The culture will favour or not the purchase of the product if the people are great consumers of coffe or other related products and the social class will influence regarding how much will it cost to buy a coffe or two and where the locations will be, in the neighboorhoods or in the major cities, etc.
The Purple Martin has annual sales of $687,400, total debt of $210,000, total equity of $365,000, and a profit margin of 5.9 percent. What is the return on assets
Answer:
7.1%
Explanation:
Purple martin has an annual sales of $687,400
The total debt is $210,000
Total equity is $365,000
Profit margin is 5.9%
= 5.9/100
= 0.059
The first step is to calculate the net income
Net income= sales×profit margin
= $687,400×0.059
= $40,556.6
The next step is to calculate the total assets
Total assets= Total debt+Total equity
= $210,000+$365,000
= $575,000
Therefore, the return on assets can be calculated as follows
ROA= Net income/Total assets
= 40,556.6/575,000
= 0.0705×100
= 7.1%
Hence the return on assets is 7.1%

Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. For specific identification, the October 9 sale consisted of 55 units from beginning inventory and 185 units from the October 5 purchase; the October 29 sale consisted of 35 units from the October 18 purchase and 75 units from the October 25 purchase. (Round your average cost per unit to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $5,885
(b) weighted average = $5,960
(c) FIFO = $5,750
(d) LIFO = $5,845
Explanation:
Date Activity Units Cost Total
Oct. 1 Beg. inventory 155 $14 $2,170
Oct. 5 Purchase 180 $13.50 $2,430
Oct. 9 Sales 240
Oct. 18 Purchase 140 $13 $1,820
Oct. 29 Sales 110
Oct. 25 Purchase 330 $12.50 $4,125
total Purchases 805 $13.10 $10,545
Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = [(55 x $14) + (185 x $13,50)] + [(35 x $13) + (75 x $12.50)] = $4,660
(b) weighted average = $13.10 x 350 units = $4,585
(c) FIFO = (155 x $14) + (85 x $13.50) + (95 x $13.50) + (15 x $13) = $4,795
(d) LIFO = (180 x $13.50) + (60 x $14) + (110 x $13) = $4,700
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $10,545 - $4,660 = $5,885
(b) weighted average = $10,545 - $4,585 = $5,960
(c) FIFO = $10,545 - $4,795 = $5,750
(d) LIFO = $10,545 - $4,700 = $5,845
Growth in real GDP per capita has: Group of answer choices been steady over the course of human history. slowed since the mid-nineteenth century compared to before. increased over the last 150 years only in the United States and Canada. been more rapid since the mid-nineteenth century than before.
Answer:
been more rapid since the mid-nineteenth century than before.
Explanation:
One of the benefits resulting from the second industrial revolution (around 1870) and more specifically from mass production and electricity, is that it helped to increase the growth rate of real GDP per capita in almost all the world. Growth rate of the real GDP per capita has been steadily increasing during the last 150 years.
Of course there are bumps (recessions and wars) in the middle that alter the growth rate of different countries, but in general terms it has recovered swiftly in most places.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT?a. Ethical behavior is not influenced by training and auditing procedures. People are either ethical or they are not, and this is what determines ethical behavior in business.b. If someone deliberately understates costs and thereby causes reported profits to increase, this can cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value. The stock will probably fall in the future. Both those who participated in the fraud and the firm itself can be prosecuted.c. Ethics is not an important consideration in business and in business schools.d. There are many types of unethical business behavior. One example is where executives provide information that they know is incorrect to outsiders. It is illegal to provide such information to federally regulated banks, but it is not illegal to provide it to stockholders because they are the owners of the firm.e. If a lower level person in a firm does something illegal, like "cooking the books," to understate costs and thereby artificially increase profits because he or she was ordered to do so by a superior, the lower level person cannot be prosecuted but the superior can be prosecuted.
Answer: b. . If someone deliberately understates costs and thereby causes reported profits to increase, this can cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value. The stock will probably fall in the future. Both those who participated in the fraud and the firm itself can be prosecuted.
Explanation:
Ethics in business ad organization is very vital towards the accomplishment of goals in every organization. Ethical behavior can be influenced by training and auditing procedures.
It should be noted that when someone understates the cost intentionally maybe with the person trying to steal from the company. This can lead to the reported profits of the company to increase, and thereby cause the stock price to rise above its intrinsic value.
If eventually the stock will fall in the future, everyone who took part in this fraudulent activity and even the company itself can be prosecuted. Performing in fraudulent activities by a company or its workers will make the individuals or the company lose the trust of its clients.

Nathan's Athletic Apparel has 1,200 shares of 7%, $100 par value preferred stock the company issued at the beginning of 2020. All remaining shares are common stock. The company was not able to pay dividends in 2020, but plans to pay dividends of $18,000 in 2021. Required: 1. & 2. How much of the $18,000 dividend will be paid to preferred stockholders and how much will be paid to common stockholders in 2021, assuming the preferred stock is cumulative? What if the preferred stock were noncumulative?
Answer:
Nathan's Athletic Apparel
1. Preferred Stock Dividend = $120,000 x 7% = $8,400 for one year
For two years = $16,800 ($8,400 x 2)
Common Stock Dividend = $1,200 ($18,000 - $16,800)
2.If the preferred stock were noncumulative, the dividends would be:
Preferred Stock Dividend = $120,000 x 7% = $8,400
Common Stock Dividend = $9,600 ($18,000 - $8,400)
Explanation:
Preferred Stockholders' Equity = $120,000 (1,200 x $100)
Cumulative preferred stock is the type of preferred stock that accumulates unpaid dividends. If in any year the preferred dividend was not paid, the amount that was supposed to be paid would be carried forward to the next year when dividend is paid unlike an ordinary preferred stock that does not attract the arrears of dividend that was not paid in any given year.

A fixed asset with a cost of $52,025 and accumulated depreciation of $44,221 is traded for a similar asset priced at $55,501. Assuming a trade-in allowance of $5,664, the recognized loss on the trade is
Answer:
$2,140
Explanation:
When a commercial substance exists in the course of the exchange of an old asset for a new one , the gain or loss on this assets is recognized,
Commercial substance can be said to exist when the exchange assets impact the future cash flow. The extended useful life of the involved assets in the question the the newly acquired asset through exchange support this.
Workings
Cost of the fixed assets = 52,025
Accumulated depreciation = 44,221
Book value = 7,804
Trade in allowance = 5,664
loss = 7,804 - 5664 = 2,140
The monopolist should NEVER produce in the Question 10 options: range of output for which there is a price elasticity exceeding one. range of output for which the price elasticity of demand is infinity. elastic segment of its demand curve because it can increase total revenue and reduce total cost by lowering price. inelastic segment of its demand curve because further lowering of the price reduces total revenue.
Answer:
inelastic segment of its demand curve because further lowering of the price reduces total revenue
Explanation:
Monopolistic competition is a state of the industry that deals with several firms that are closely linked to each other but offer distinct goods. In fact, this market provides free entry and exit
Therefore the monopolist never produced inelastic section of the demand curve as the price should be decline that results into fall in the total revenue
Hence, the last option is correct

Kuhn company is considering a new project that will require an initial investment of $4 million. It has a target capital structure of 58% debt, 6% preferred stock and 36% common equity. Kuhn has noncallable bonds outstanding that mature in 15 years with a face value of $1,000, an annual coupon rate of 11%, and a market price of $1,555.38. The yield on the company's current bonds is a good approximation of the yield on any new bonds that it issues. The company can sell shares of preferred stock that pay an annual dividend of $8 at a price of $92.25 per share. You can assume that Jordan does not incur any flotation costs when issuing debt and preferred stock. Kuhn does not have any retained earnings available to finance this project, so the firm will have to issue new common stock to help fund it. Its common stock is currently selling for $33.35 per share, and it is expected to pay a dividend of $2.78 at the end of next year. Flotation costs will represent 8% of the funds raised by issuing new common stock. The company is projected to grow at a constant rate of 9.2%, and they face a tax rate of 40%. What is Kuhn's WACC for this project? Please show work.
a. 7.65%
b. 9.00%
c. 10.35%
d. 9.45%
Answer:
b. 9.00%
Explanation:
For the computation of WACC first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-
Step 1
Cost of debt = 5.48% which is explained with the help of attachment.
Given that,
Present value = $1,555.38
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 11% = $110
NPER = 15 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after applying the above formula, the cost of debt is
Step 2
Cost of preferred stock = Annual preferred dividend ÷ Price
= $8 × $92.25
= 0.086721
Step 3
Cost of equity = Dividend ÷ (Stock price × (1 - flotation cost)) + Growth rate
= 2.78 ÷ (33.35 × (1 - 0.08)) + 0.092
= 18.26%
WACC = Weight of debt × Cost debt) + (Weight of preference stock × Cost of preference stock) + (Weight of equity × cost of equity)
= (0.58 × (0.0548 × (1 - 0.4)) + (0.06 × 0.086721) + (0.36 × 0.1826068)
= 9.00%
Kuhn's WACC for this project will be 9.00%.
Based on the information given, the cost of preferred stock will be:
= Annual preferred dividend / Price
= $8 / $92.25
= 0.086721
Then, the cost of equity will be calculated as:
= Dividend ÷ (Stock price × (1 - flotation cost)) + Growth rate
= 2.78 ÷ (33.35 × (1 - 0.08)) + 0.092
= 18.26%
Therefore, the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) will be:
= (0.58 × (0.0548 × (1 - 0.4)) + (0.06 × 0.086721) + (0.36 × 0.1826068)
= 9.00%
Therefore, Kuhn's WACC for this project will be 9.00%.

The Company uses a periodic inventory system. For specific identification, ending inventory consists of 215 units, where 190 are from the January 30 purchase, 5 are from the January 20 purchase, and 20 are from beginning inventory. Determine the cost assigned to ending inventory and to cost of goods sold using (a) specific identification, (b) weighted average, (c) FIFO, and (d) LIFO.
Answer:
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = $2,720(b) weighted average = $2,810.05(c) FIFO = $2,687.50(d) LIFO = $3,010Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $6,495(b) weighted average = $6,404.95(c) FIFO = $6,527.50(d) LIFO = $6,205Explanation:
Date Activity Units Cost Total

Jan. 25 Sales 190
Jan. 30 Purchase 330 $12.50 $4,125
total Purchases 705 $13.07 $9,215
Ending inventory:
(a) specific identification = (190 x $12.50) + (5 x $13) + (20 x $14) = $2,720
(b) weighted average = 215 x $13.07 = $2,810.05
(c) FIFO = 215 x $12.50 = $2,687.50
(d) LIFO = 215 x $14 = $3,010
Cost of goods sold:
(a) specific identification = $9,215 - $2,720 = $6,495
(b) weighted average = $9,215 - $2,810.05 = $6,404.95

Compare investment alternatives You have two investment opportunities. One will have an 8% rate of return on an investment of $10,000; the other will have a 10% rate of return on principal of $14,000. You would like to take advantage of the higher-yielding investment but have only $10,000 available.
Required:
What is the maximum rate of interest that you would pay to borrow the $4,000 needed to take advantage of the higher yield?
Answer:
15%
Explanation:
The maximum rate of return that would be paid to borrow an additional $4,000 needed can be calculated as
[tex]Rate of return =\frac{Amount of interest}{Amount borrowed}[/tex]
Rate of return = $600/$4000
Rate of return = 0.15 or 15%
NOTE: The amount of interest is the difference of interest earned at higher yield and interest earned at a lower yield.
Interest earned (higher yield) = $10,000 x 8%
Interest earned (higher yield) = $800
Interest earned (lower yield) = $14,000 x 10%
Interest earned (lower yield) = $1,400
Difference = $1,400-$800
Difference = $600
Where would it be right to apply the product concept?
Answer:
In marketing
Explanation:
The Product concept is the understanding of the best features of a product which a marketer wishes to sell. Before a product is sold, it is very important that the marketer gets a proper understanding of the product. This knowledge would help him convince the customer that the product is the best and would actually meet his needs.
For producers, realizing this need of customers would help them focus on making products with superior quality that can as well meet the requirements of customers. These products should also be able to thrive in a very competitive environment.

Contribution margin (100 and 75 ) 250,000 $75,000 $325,000
Fixed costs $195,000
Operating income $130,000
Calculate the break even point for Bernard Windows in terms of the (a) number of units sold and (b) revenues.
Answer:
1.(a). Breakeven point (in units) = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= 500 - 400 = 100 per unit
Breakeven point = 150,000 / 100 per unit
Breakeven point = 1500 units
Breakeven point ( in revenue) = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio = ( Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit) / Selling price per unit ×100
= ($500 - $400) / $500 ×100
= 20%
Breakeven point ( in revenue) = $150,000 / 20%
Breakeven point ( in revenue) = $750,000
(b). Let x be the unknown quantity of units Bernard Windows must sell to earn an operating income of $100,000. Selling price is $500
Revenue - Variable cost - Fixed cost = operating income
($500 * x) - ($400*x) - $150,000 = $100,000
($100* x) = $250,000
x = $250,000 / $100 per unit = 2,500 units
Quantity of units required to be sold = 2,500 units
Revenue to earn an operating income of $100,000 is
Revenue = Number of units required to be sold * Selling Price
Revenue = 2,500 * $500 = $1,250,000
2. Target operating income = Target net income / (1 - Tax Rate)
= $63,000 / (1 - 0.30)
= $90,000
In other words, to earn a target net income of $63,000, Bernard Windows Target operating income is $90,000.
Proof: Target operating income $90,000
Tax at 30% ( $90,000*0.30) $27,000
Target net income $63,000
Calculation of number of units Bernard Windows must sell:
Quantity of units required to be sold = Fixed cost + Target operating income / Contribution margin per unit
= $150,000 + $90,000 / $100 = $2,400 units
Quantity of units required to be sold = 2,400 units
Revenue to earn net income of $63,000 is:
Revenue = Number of units required to be sold * Selling price
= 2,400 * $500
Revenue = $1,200,000
3. Margin of Safety = Budgeted revenue - Breakeven revenue
= $1,200,000 - $750,000
Margin of Safety = $450,000
Margin of safety (in units) = Budgeted Sales (units) - Breakeven Sales (units)
= 2,400 - 1,500
Margin of safety (in units) = 900 units
The margin of safety indicated that sales would have to decrease by 900 units and revenue by $450,000 before the breakeven point is reached.
Margin of safety percentage = Margin of safety in dollars / Budgeted revenues
= $450,000 / $1,200,000 * 100 = 37.5%
This result means that revenue would have to decrease substantially, by 60%, to reach the breakeven revenues.
5. Let we assume that the budgeted sales mix (2,500 units of chad windows sold for every 1,000 units of Musk windows sold, that is a ratio of 5:2) will not change at different levels of total unit sales.
Number of units of Contribution Margin
Chad Windows and per unit for Chad Windows
Musk Windows in and Mask Windows Contribution
each bundle margin the bundle
Chad Windows 5 $100 $500
Musk windows 2 $75 $150
Total $650
To calculate breakeven point, we calculate the number of bundles Bernard needs to sell.
Breakeven point in bundles = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per bundle
= $195,000 / $650 = 300 bundles
a. Breakeven point in units of Chad Windows and Musk windows is as follows:
Chad windows: 300 bundles× 5 units per bundle = 1,500 units
Musk windows: 300 bundles ×2 units per bundle = 600 units
Total number of units to breakeven = 1,500 + 600 = 2,100 units
b. The breakeven point in dollars for Chad windows and Musk windows is as follows:
Chad windows: 1,500 units × $500 per unit = $750,000
Musk windows: 600 units ×$350 per unit = $210,000
Breakeven revenue = $750,000 + $210,000 = $960,000

Ralph, a cash basis taxpayer, owns an office building that he leases to various tenants. During 20X8, he signed a three-year lease with a tenant and received a check for $16,000 for the following:
Rent for November 1, 2008 to October 1, 2009 $5,000
Advance rent for last three months of lease 600
Security deposit (refundable) 400
For the current year, 2008, Ralph must report income of:__________
a. $6,000
b. $5,600
c. $5,000
d. $832
e. some other amount.
Answer:
b. $5,600
Explanation:
A cash basis taxpayer will report revenues and expenses when they are actually collected or paid for. The business transaction is not directly related to the moment that the payment occurs (unlike accrual accounting).
in this case, Ralph should report all the income related to monthly rental payments = $5,000 (Nov. 2008 - Oct. 2008) + $600 (the three last months of rent) = $5,600. Security deposits are not considered rental revenue, so they should not be reported as such.
Schuepfer Inc. bases its selling and administrative expense budget on budgeted unit sales. The sales budget shows 2,700 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense is $3.20 per unit. The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense is $35,770 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,200 per month. The remainder of the fixed selling and administrative expense represents current cash flows. The cash disbursements for selling and administrative expenses on the March selling and administrative expense budget should be:___________.
a. $40,210
b. $44,410
c. $31,570
Answer:
Total cash disbursement= $40,210
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The sales budget shows 2,700 units are planned to be sold in March. The variable selling and administrative expense are $3.20 per unit.
The budgeted fixed selling and administrative expense are $35,770 per month, which includes depreciation of $4,200 per month.
The depreciation expense is not a cash disbursement.
Total cash disbursement= total variable cost + total fixed cost
Total cash disbursement= 2,700*3.2 + (35,770 - 4,200)
Total cash disbursement= $40,210
You purchased an airplane for $500,000 and will depreciate it using a 7-year an MACRS. Salvage value in year 4 is expected to be $250,000. The airplane is expected to increase revenues by $200,000 per year, however, O&M costs are expected to be $30,000 per year. Your company is in a 40% tax bracket and your MARR is 15%. Show the end of year cash flows for this project for years 0 through 4. What is the Net Present Worth of this investment?
Year 0_____
Year 1____
Year 2______
Year 3_____
Year 4______
NPW_____
Answer:
Year 0 = -$500,000
Year 1 = $130,580
Year 2 = $150,980
Year 3 = $136,980
Year 4 = $433,260
NPV = $65,495
Explanation:
depreciation expense per year under 7 year MACRS table:
year 1 = $500,000 x 14.29% = $71,450
year 2 = $500,000 x 24.49% = $122,450
year 3 = $500,000 x 17.49% = $87,450
year 4 = $500,000 x 12.49% = $62,450
cash flow year 1 = [($200,000 - $30,000 - $71,450) x (1 - 40%)] + $71,450 = $130,580
cash flow year 2 = [($200,000 - $30,000 - $122,450) x (1 - 40%)] + $122,450 = $150,980
cash flow year 3 = [($200,000 - $30,000 - $87,450) x (1 - 40%)] + $87,450 = $136,980
cash flow year 4 = [($200,000 - $30,000 - $62,450 + $93,800 gain on sale) x (1 - 40%)] + $62,450 + $250,000 = $433,260
MARR = 15%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $65,495
Consider Country (Z) with a GDP level of 210,000 and a growth rate of 5% in 2019 (i.e. calculated at the end of year 2019). The experts predict that the growth of the economy of Country (Z) wills gradually slowdown in the coming years. More precisely, they foresee the following growth rates for the future: 2019 – 2022 (5%), 2022 – 2025 (3%). Hint: The list above should be read as saying that, for instance, `the growth rate from the end of 2019 until the end of 2022 will be 5%, then from the end of 2022 until the end of 2025 it will be 3%’ and so on. Requirement a) Assuming that the predictions of the experts listed above are accurate, when in the future will Country Z’s GDP double compared to the GDP level of 2019? [10 marks] b) What would Country Z’s GDP growth rate be from 2025 and so on at 1%? Explain your reasoning carefully. [5 marks] c) Consider now the more optimistic scenario in which the economy does not slow down and the current growth rate of 5% remains constant in the coming years. How long will it take for the GDP level to double in this scenario? Express your answer in two forms: i) In number of years [5 marks] ii) As a fraction of your answer in part a. [5 marks]
Answer:
Country (Z) GDP Growth:
a) The GDP will double in:
2019 - 2022 = 3 years
2022 - 2025 = 3 years
2025 to 20 years as determined below
Total = 26 years
The GDP will double in 26 years.
b) The growth rate from 2025 and so on at 1% will approach 27.62% based on the 2019 GDP. The approach used is to determine the difference between the after 2025 GDP and the 2019 GDP. This difference (growth in absolute terms) is divided by the 2019 GDP, and then multiplied by 100 to obtain the rate.
c) If the growth rate of 5% is sustained, it will take the GDP 15 years to double:
420,000 = G₀(1 + g)ⁿ
420,000 = 210,000 (1 + 5%)ⁿ
Solving for n with an online calculator,
n = 15 years
Check:
210,000 x 2.079
= 436,590
= 437,000 approx.
As a number of years = 15 years
As a fraction of part a answer = 15/26 = 57.69%
Explanation:
a) 2019 Country Z's GDP = 210,000
2019 - 2022 Growth rate = 5%
Future growth rates:
2022- 2025 = 3%
2025 - so on = 1%
Let Country (Z's) GDP in 2019 = G₀ which is equal to 210,000
n = number of years from 2019 to 2022, 2022 to 2025, and so on.
g = growth rate = 5% for the period 2019 to 2022
Gⁿ = GDP in n years at given rates
Gⁿ = G₀(1 + g)ⁿ
(1 + g)ⁿ = increase in GDP as a result of the growth rate and number of years
b) With GDP growth of 5% from 2019 to 2022, the GDP will be
= 210,000 (1 + 5%)³
= 210,000 x 1.158
= 243,000 approx.
c) From 2022 to 2025 at 3%, the GDP will be
= 243,000 (1 + 3%)³
= 243,000 x 1.093
= 265,600
For GDP to double the 2019 GDP with 3% growth = 420,000 (210,000 x 2) or more
GDP = Gⁿ = G₀(1 + g)ⁿ
420,000 = 243,000 (1 + 3%)ⁿ
solving for n with an online calculator,
n = 20
Check:
= 243,000 (1 + 3%)∧20
= 243,000 x 1.817
= 441,531
= 442,000

Explanation:
Larkspur Appliance Co. manufactures low-price, no frills appliances that are in great demand for rental units. Pricing and cost information on Larkspur main products are as follows. Item Standalone Selling Price (Cost) Refrigerator $500 ($260 ) Range 570(270 ) Stackable washer/dryer unit 690(400 ) Customers can contract to purchase either individually at the stated prices or a three-item bundle with a price of $1,800.The bundle price includes delivery and installation. Larkspur also provides installation (not a separate performance obligation). Respond to the requirements related to the following independent revenue arrangements for Larkspur Appliance Co. On June 1, 2017, Larkspur sold 100 washer/dryer units without installation to Laplante Rentals for $69,000. Laplante is a newer customer and is unsure how this product will work in its older rental units. Larkspur offers a 60-day return privilege and estimates, based on prior experience with sales on this product, 4% of the units will be returned. Prepare the journal entries for the sale and related cost of goods sold on June 1, 2017. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
The journal entries to record the sale on June 1 are:
June 1, 2017, 100 units of washer/dryer to Laplante Rentals
Dr Cash 69,000
Cr Sales revenue 69,000
Dr Cost of goods sold 40,000
Cr Inventory 40,000
If the next question asks to record the return privilege and estimates, it should be recorded as both an asset (estimated returns inventory) and a liability (customer refunds payable).
Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 15 minutes, and their requests take on average 10 minutes to be processed. The service counter is staffed by only one clerk, Judy Gumshoes, who works eight hours per day. Assume Poisson arrivals and exponential service times.
a. What percentage of time is Judy idle?
b. How much time, on average, does a student spend waiting in line?
c. How long is the (waiting) line on average?
d. What is the probability that an arriving student (just before entering the Administrative Services Office) will find at least one other student waiting in line?
Answer:
a) %idle time = 0.33
b)40.2minutes
c)40.02customers
d)0.5219
Step-by-step explanation:
It was said in the question Students arrive at the Administrative Services Office at an average of one every 15 minutes which means that
λ = 60/15= 4customers/hr
It was stated that their requests take on average 10 minutes to be processed which means that
μ = average of 10minutes = 60/10 = 6customers/hr
Then let us use these information to solve the given questions
a) percentage when judy was idle = (1- λ/μ)= 1- 0.67= 0.33
%service time = 0.67
%idle time = 0.33
b)To calculate How much time, on average that a student spend waiting in line then we make use of the formula below
= λ/ μ( μ- λ)
= 0.67hrs = 0.67 x60 = 40.2minutes
c) To calculate How long the waiting line on average;
= average waiting time x arrival rate = 0.67hrs x 6customers/hr
= 40.02customers
d) the probability that an arriving student will find at least one other student waiting in line is calculated below;
P( idle time i.e no customer to attend to) = 0.33
P1( Probability of having a customer to attend to) = 0.33 x 0.67= 0.2211
P( Probability of having 2 customer to attend to) = 0.33 x 0.67x0.67 = 0.1481
Therefore, the probability of finding at least one customer = 1 -[ po + p1]
= 1 - 0.33- 0.1481 = 0.5219
