The seabury Corporation has a current ratio of 3.5 and an acid-test ratio of 2.8. The Corporations current assets consist of cas
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

The current liabilities is computed as:

Current Assets (CA) = Quick assets (QA)+ Inventory (I)

CA = QA + $49,000

Acid test ratio = Quick assets / Current Liabilities (CL)

2.8 = QA / CL

QA = 2.8 × CL                              

Current Ratio (CR) = CA / CL

3.5 = CA / CL

Putting CA = QA + Inventory

3.5 = ( QA + $49,000) / CL

Now, Putting QA = 2.8 × CL

So,

3.5 = [( 2.8 × CL ) + $49,000] / CL

3.5 = 2.8 CL / CL + $49,000 / CL

3.5 = 2.8 + ($49,000 / CL)

3.5 - 2.8 = $49,000 / CL

0.7 = $49,000 / CL

CL = $49,000 / 0.7

CL = $70,000

Harrison Enterprises currently produces 8,000 units of part B13. Current unit costs for part B13 are as follows: Direct material
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

It is cheaper to make the part in house.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Harrison Enterprises currently produces 8,000 units of part B13.

Current unit costs for part B13 are as follows:

Direct materials $12

Direct labor 9

Factory rent 7

Administrative costs 10

General factory overhead (allocated) 7

Total $45

If Harrison decides to buy part B13, 50% of the administrative costs would be avoided.

To calculate whether it is better to make the par in-house or buy, we need to determine which costs are unavoidable.

Unavoidable costs:

Factory rent= 7

Administrative costs= 5

General factory overhead= 7

Total= 17

Now, we can calculate the unitary cost of making the product in-house:

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + avoidable administrative costs

Unitary cost= 7 + 5 + 5= $17

It is cheaper to make the part in house.

An owner can lease her building for $120,000 per year for three years. The explicit cost of maintaining the building is $40,000,
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

A) Accounting profits dont take implicit costs into account, only "real" or quantifiable costs. Thus the present value of a 120,000 lease at 5% for three years with explicit costs of $40,000 maintenance is: 

PV = [ FV/(1+r)^n ] - (Explicit Cost) 

PV = 120000/(1.05^3) - (40000*3) B) same thing but add implicit costs ... 

PV = 120000/(1.05^3) - (40000*3) - (55000*3)
