Answer:

Ten pounds of chicken to trade for at least <u>40</u> pounds of vegetables but not more than<u> 50</u> pounds of vegetables

Explanation:

                  Vegetables        Chicken        Trade Off Ratio

John             40                     10                4:1 (40/10) or 1:0.25 (10/40)

George          25                      5                 5:1 (25/5) or 1:0.20 (5/25)

John has comparative advantage in Chicken and George has comparative advantage in Veggies because :

  • John's chicken opportunity cost, in veggies < George (4<5). George's veggies opportunity cost, in chicken < John (0.20<0.25).
  • George is more (5X) productive in veggies than chicken, than John (4X). John is less unproductive in chicken than veggies (1/4th), compared to George (1/5th).  

So,  John will sell Chicken to George & George will sell veggies to John. Gains from trade are when each get trade ratio better than their their own trade off ratio.

  • It implies: John gets >' 4 pounds veggies per chicken pound' and George gets > '0.20 pound chicken per veggie pound'.
  • Unitary method:-  '1chicken : 4veggies' = '10chickens : 40veggies' and '0.20chicken : 1veggie' = '10chickens : 50 veggies' .

Lester Company transferred the following assets to a newly created subsidiary, Mumby Corporation, in exchange for 40,000 shares
sammy [17]

Answer:

Lester Company

The accumulated depreciation amounts for buildings $35,000 and for equipment $60,000 were obtained as the differences between the costs and the book values of the assets.  The cost of a long-term asset is usually reduced to its book value by the total amount in the accumulated depreciation account.  The accumulated depreciation account shows the progressive amounts set aside annually as a write-off of the asset, showing its use over the period in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle.  The accrual concept and matching principle require cost to be matched to the revenue it helps to generate.

Explanation:

Transferred Assets:

                                      Cost        Book Value   Difference  Explanation

Cash                            $40,000     $40,000        $0

Accounts Receivable   75,000        68,000        $7,000 (doubtful accounts)

Inventory                      50,000        50,000        $0

Land                             35,000        35,000         $0

Buildings                    160,000       125,000         $35,000 (depreciation)

Equipment                240,000       180,000        $60,000 (depreciation)

On November​ 1, 2018, Arch Services issued $ 337 comma 000 of eight minus year bonds with a stated rate of 15​% at par. Interest
azamat

Answer:

Interest expense to be recorded on Dec 31 2018= $8425

Explanation:

Lets first understand what adjusting entry is? Adjusting entries are entries passed at the reporting date in order to comply to the accruals concept of accounting. Accruals concept requires entities to record revenue and expenses in the period that they occur and should not wait until they are received or paid respectively. Revenues and expenses should be matched for the period and recorded.

Now that we have understood adjusting entry, lets calculate interest expense that should be recorded on December 31 2018. So Arch Services records interest payment on a semi-annul basis (i.e every 6 months). Now the bonds are issued on November (i.e two months to the reporting date), considering the accruals concept Arch Services will have to record interest for two months.

The interest expense is calculated as follows:

Annual Interest= $337000×15%

Annual Interest= $50550

Lets convert it into monthly basis as follows:

Monthly interest expense= $4212.5

Interest for two months would be = $4212.5×2

Interest expense to be recorded on Dec 31 2018= $8425

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$146,150.00

Explanation:

Net income is net of taxes.

Here,

Sales = $820,000.00

Less: Costs = -$540,000.00

Gross profit = $280,000.00

Less: Finance Costs

Interest = -$36,000.00

Depreciation = -$59,000.00

Net profit before Tax = $185,000.00

Less: Tax @ 21% of $185,000.00 = - $38,850.00

Net Income (after tax) = $146,150

Net income is always computed after tax.

$146,150.00

The following data relate to product no. 89 of Mansion Corporation: Direct material standard: 3 square feet at $2.50 per square
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

$2,000 and it is favourable

Explanation:

Direct material quantity variance is defined as the efficiency with which materials are converted into products. It is calculated by multiplying standard price of material by the difference between standard quantity and actual quantity used.

Standard price (SP)= $2.50

Standard quantity (SQ)= 30,000 units

Actual quantity (AQ)= 29,200 units

Material quantity variance = SP * (SQ - AQ)

Material quantity variance= 2.50 * (30,000 - 29,200)

Material quantity variance= $2,000
