Tomtit [17]

Answer:

meal option is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost $2700

Explanation:

given data

The meal option = $50 per person.

Hall free = $ 0 per person

total guest = 40

hall-only option = $1,500

external caterer = $30 per person

solution

when we go for meal option than hall free so total cost will be as

total cost = total guest × $50 per person

total cost = 40 × $50

total cost = $2000

and

when we go for hall only option than total cost will be

total cost = total guest × external caterer charge + hall-only option

total cost = 40 × $30 + $1500

total cost = $2700

meal option is cheaper with total cost = $2000 and hall only option is total cost $2700

In each of the following cases, calculate the accounting break-even and the cash break-even points. Ignore any tax effects in ca

Sloan [31]

Answer:

Accounting Break-Even

Case 1 = $14,350 Case 2 = $8,485.71 Case 3 = $214.375

Cash Break-Even

Case 1 = $11,766.67 Case 2 = $1342.86 Case 3 = $168.75

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Accounting Break-Even = (Fixed Cost + Depreciation Cost) ÷ (Price Unit -Variable Unit)

Case 1 - ($7,060,000 + $1,550,000) ÷ ($3075 - $2,475)

= $8,610,000 ÷ $600

= $14,350

Case 2 - ( $47,000 + $250,000) ÷ ($96 - $61)

= $297,000 ÷ 35 = $8,485.71

Case 3 - ($2,700 + $730) ÷ ($21 - $5)

= $3,430 ÷ $16 = $214.375

Cash Break Even = Fixed Cost ÷ (Price Unit - Variable Unit)

Case 1 - $7,060,000 ÷ ($3075 - $2,475)

= $7,060,000 ÷ $600

= $11,766.67

Case 2 - $47,000 ÷ ($96 - $61)

= $47,000 ÷ $35 = $1342.86

Case 3 - $2,700 ÷ ($21 - $5)

= $2,700 ÷ $16 = $168.75

Star Company has entered into a 3-year lease agreement with Bell Corp. (lessor) for the use of 10 new commercial copy machines.

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Operating lease

Explanation:

An operating lease is basically a lease contract that allows the lessee to use the assets but it doesn't transfer any ownership rights. It is like renting a house, you can use it as long as pay the rent, but the house isn't yours. Operating leases are not included in the balance sheet, while financial leases are.

In this case, Star Company may use the copy machines but it must return them in three years.

Information technology achitecture can be defined as a detailed description of the various information processing assets that is needed to achieve business objectives.

Explanation:

In our world today, businesses thrive on information. Information technology achitecture focuses on three basic tiers in an organization which are the server, middleware and client.

At PepsiAmericas, the next Gen initiative convinced executives that they needed to drive value from technology intiatives. Technology provided a common plartform for standardized business processes.

The first initiative by Johnsen created an IT governance board which included the ceo Robert pohland and the coo ken keiser.

Pepsi Americas recognised the achitectural and structural difference between each of its subsidiaries and itself.

On the otherhand, Operational excellence can be defined as the provision of reliable products and services to customers at competitive prices. whereas customer intimacy is targeting and segmenting markets and offers matching exactly to the demands of the niche.

Operational excellence means to strip off operational cost so as to deliver competitive price.

Pepsi Americas employees realised that driver turnover were no longer important. and that recessions would require that operations would change. Therefore, pepsiAmericas had to reevaluate their operations as demand was reducing and had to find a way not to waste resources.

IrinaVladis [17]

$17,000

Units sold = 3,000 units

Expected warranty = 3,000 * $8 = $24,000

Actual warranty costs = $7,000

Estimated warranty liability = $24,000 - $7,000 = $17,000

Therefore, Petal should report $17,000 as estimated warranty liability at June 30, Year 9.
