Answer:

D

Explanation:

this economic model is true because rational human beings tend to purchase more of normal goods when the price is lower than when the price is higher.

An example would be a mall, whose main activity is the rental and management of commercial real estate, earning some income from short-term investments in the secondary market. This interest would be reported as non-operating income, and would be treated as such for financial, accounting, and tax purposes.

Problem: Show the effects of the events on the fianncial statements using a horizontal statement model.

Answers

Answer:

The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

Explanation:

Note: See the attached excel file for the horizontal statement model showing the effects of the events on the financial statements.

The following calculations are made in the attached excel:

For Event 7, we have:

Office supplies = Amount of office supplies purchased - Office supplies remained on hand = $2,800 - $200 = $2,600

For Event 8, we have:

Amount of revenue that is recognized = Number of months from April 1 to December 31 * (Amount accepted on April 1 / Number of months in year) = 9 * ($36,000 /12) = 9 * $3,000 = $27,000

Also, the following can be obtained from the attached excel file:

Total assets = $51,600 + $200 = $51,800

Total liabilities = $400 + $9,000 = $9,400

Total Stockholders’ Equity = $42,400

Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $9,400 + $42,400 = $51,800

The accounting equation therefore holds as follows:

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders’ Equity = $51,800

But before that the net income is

Sales $5,375,000

Julie evaluated her spending and found that she was spending about $75 more per month on transportation than she has bodgeted She can transfer money from other categories to increase transportation budget to $250 per month If her total monthly income S1,900 , to the nearest percent, what percent of her monthly income will be budgeted for transportation

Answers

Answer:

Julie

The percent of her monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation is:

= 13%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Amount budgeted for transportation = $175

Amount being spent on transportation = $250

Total monthly income = $1,900

Percentage of monthly income that will be budgeted for transportation = $250/$1,900 * 100

= 13.16%

= 13.2%

= 13%

Percentage of monthly income earlier budgeted for transportation = 9% ($175/$1,900 * 100)

The additional spending on transportation represents 4% ($75/$1,900 * 100)

New percentage spending on transportation = 13% (9% + 4%)

The market for agricultural products is perfectly competitive

A perfect competition is characterized by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

Consumers demand in perfect competition is elastic

If prices increases, the demand curve shifts downward by exactly the increase in price

A company has two departments, Y and Z that incur wage expenses. An analysis of the total wage expense of $43,000 indicates that Dept. Y had a direct wage expense of $6,800 and Dept. Z had a direct wage expense of $10,700. The remaining expenses are indirect and analysis indicates they should be allocated evenly between the two departments. Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:

Answers

Answer:

$19,550 and $10,250

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:

First step is to calculate the Indirect wages

Indirect wages = [43,000 - (6800+10700)]/2

Indirect wages= 43,000-17500/2

Indirect wages=24,500/2

Indirect wages = 12,750

Now let calculate Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z,

Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y

=6800 + 12,750

Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y = $19,550

Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z=10,700 + 12,750

Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Z= 23450

Therefore Departmental wage expenses for Dept. Y and Dept. Z, respectively, are:$19,550 and $10,250

b. Total Assets.

c. Cash from Financing Activities.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

November 12, 2013: Repurchase of 10,000 shares at a price of $20 per share = $200,000 (10,000 * $20)

b) The treasury stock repurchase decreases the cash from financing activities by $200,000.  This also reduces the Total Assets in the form of cash used in the repurchase.  The opposite becomes the case when treasury stock is sold.  Cash from financing activities is increased just as the Total Assets are increased.
