Answer and Explanation:

Let us assume the following things

x = dogwood inventory percentage

and, (50,000 - x) = red maple tree inventory percentage

And, the amount of profit is

= $50,000 × 0.20

= $10,000

Now the equation would be

0.28x + 0.18 × ($50,000 - x) = $10,000

0.28x + $9,000 - 0.18x = $10,000

0.10x = 1,000

x = 10,000 = dogwood

So, the red maple would be

= 50,000 - 10,000

= 40,000

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

I took some work home because I had to meet an important deadline the next morning. If I am able to finish the work on time and do it correctly, then there is a chance of getting either a promotion or a pay raise. If I cannot complete it on time, I will not get fired, but any chances of a promotion or pay raise in the near will vanish.

Since I was working at home, I couldn't prepare anything for dinner, so I decided to buy food on a website and get it delivered home. I spent $20 on my dinner, even though I could have prepared a similar dinner for $5.

I was willing to pay for the expensive meal because the opportunity cost of preparing dinner instead was too high. I can afford to pay $15 more for eating, but I cannot afford to lose the opportunity of a promotion or a pay raise. Even if I do not get them immediately, not completing my job would have made it much harder to get it in the future.

My decision is rational because I was sacrificing a small amount of money in order to preserve something that is really valuable for me (promotion or pay raise).

All resources are scarce, and in this case, time was scarce. So I had to decide which action was more valuable and which action could yield a higher benefit.

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)

Madrid Company has provided the following data (ignore income taxes): 2018 revenues were $77,500. 2018 net income was $33,900. D
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

C. Retained earnings increased $28,200 during 2018.

Explanation:

Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equities

= $217,000 - $123,000

= $94,000

Common stock as at December 31, 2018 = Total equity - Total retained earnings

= $123,000 - $83,000

= $40,000

Retained earnings at year end =

Opening retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

$83,000 = Opening retained earnings + $33,900 - $5,700

$83,000 = Opening retained earnings + $28,200

Opening retained earnings = $54,800

Change in retained earnings = Closing retained earnings - Opening retainer earnings

= $83,000 - $54,800

= $28,200

Therefore, Option 'C' is the correct option.
