Answer:

The most you can pay for the pitcher is $17.32

Explanation:

A mark up is a percentage that is always applied on the cost to come up at a required gain over cost. The cost is always taken to be 100% when apply a mark up on cost.

If the mark up is of 27% and cost is 100% then a selling price of 22 will be equal to cost + markup.

Let cost be x.

Selling price = Cost + Mark up

22 = 100% * x + 27% * x

22 = 1x + 0.27x

22 = 1.27 x

22/1.27 = x

x = $17.3228 rounded off to $17.32

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1.  Investment in shares of Edwards Co A/c Dr $600,120

              To Cash A/c                                                              $600,120

(Being the purchase of stock is made)

The investment is computed below:

= Number of shares acquired × par value of common stock + commission charges

= 12,000 shares × $50 + $120

= $600,120

2. Cash A/c Dr $16,800

         To Dividend A/c $16,800

(Being dividend received is recorded)

The receipt of dividend is shown below:

=  Number of shares × cash dividend per share

= 12,000 shares × $1.40

= $16,800

3.  Cash A/c Dr $247,900

             To Profit on sale $47,860

             To Investment in shares of Edwards Co A/c $200,040

(Being sale of shares is recorded and the remaining amount is credited to the profit)

The computation of this above entry is shown below:

Cash Account = Number of shares sold  × par value of common stock - commission charges

= $4,000 × $62 - $100

= $247,900

Profit on sale = (Purchase of stock ÷  Number of shares acquired) × Number of shares sold

= ($600,120 ÷ 12,000) shares × 4,000 shares

= $200,040

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol
andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

T = 5c + 12 f

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

T = 5c + 12 f

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

T=47,000\\\\f=3,000

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that  were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200
