Answer:

For year 2010

Degree of combined leverage is 3.82

For year 2011

Degree of combined leverage is 4.11

Explanation:

Computing the degree of combined leverage of the firm with the formula stated below as:

Degree of combined leverage = Contribution margin / EBT

where

Contribution margin is computed as:

Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Cost

EBT (Earnings Before tax) is computed as:

EBT = EBIT - Interest

Now, computing the same by applying the formula:

For year 2010

Contribution margin = $700,000 - $406,000

= $294,000

EBT = $119,000 - $42,000

= $77,000

Degree of combined leverage = $294,000 / $77,000

= 3.82

For year 2011

Contribution margin = $760,000 - $448,000

= $312,000

EBT = $122,000 - $46,000

= $76,000

Degree of combined leverage = $312,000 / $76,000

= 4.11

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The loan will be reported in the December 31, 2019 and 2018, balance sheets, is shown below:-

Balance sheet(Partial)

As of December 31

2016 2015

Current liabilities

Current portion of long term debt $3,000 $2,000

Long term liabilities

Long term debt $10,000 $13,000

Total liabilities $13,000 $15,000

On December 2018 we represent the current liability of $2,000 loan because of year 31 December 2019 within of one year and the left portion of the loan represent as long term liability because it is not within one year from the balance sheet.

On December 2019 Loan remains outstanding $13,000 ($2,000 repaid on November 2019) from this amount, on November 30, $3,000 is due. So, $3,000 should be represented as current liability and the left balance $10,000 represented as long term debt.

Assume that when the price of cantaloupes is $2.50 the demand for cantaloupes is unit-elastic, and that the demand curve for can

Maru [420]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

The demand for cantaloupes is unitary elastic at price level $2.50. The demand curve here is linear and downward sloping. The elasticity of demand is 1.

In this linear demand curve the lower portion will represent inelastic demand.

When the price level is reduced to $2 the demand will move to the lower portion of the curve, with fall in price and increase in demand.

So, at $2 price the demand will be inelastic, which means it will be between 0 and 1.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

A. Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500

Explanation:

The question says to determine amount to be included in the journal entry to record Ronald's withdrawal from the partnership

Assumption: Equal Profit- loss sharing is the agreement between the existing partners.

First premise: Ronald's Capital in the Partnership = $77,000

However, Ronald received a payment of $86,000 meaning that there is an excess of $86,000-$77,000= $9,000

Since the agreement is equal profit and loss sharing, it means each of Ross and Carol will contribute 1/2 of the $9,000.

The journal entry to record this transaction is as follows:

Particulars Debit Credit

Carol Capital Account $4,500

Ross Capital Account $4,500

Ronald Capital Account $9,000

Being the equal contribution of excess amount paid to Ronald on exit from the partnership by Carol and Ross.

Based on the multiple choices, the correct answer is Carol, Capital is debited for $4,500
