No, it is not possible to have more sand than was originially present.
The yield of 105% shows that some errors had occurred during the course of the laboratory activity. There are many possible explanations for the extra product. For instance, it may be that the container on which the sand was put for weighing at the beginning of the laboratory activity is not the same one that was used to measure the final yield. Also, if the students did not allow the sand to dry very well before weighing, it will have more mass because of its water content.<span />

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

In the March 31 statement of financial position, the company should record the futures contracts as a  loss and liability of $100,000

Explanation:

GAAP specifies that all derivatives instrument and hedging activities recorded  in the balance sheet are assets and liabilities and measured at fair value.

At the starting of the futures contracts, the fair value is $0 since the prices of the future contract was entered at that date.

Given that 200 futures contracts was sold at the commodity exchange foo $$0.83/lb and each contract was for 25,000 lb. Therefore a fair value hedge of 5 million lb. (25,000 lb. × 200 contracts) of copper at $0.83/lb is expected to be delivered.

The price had risen to $0.85/lb at the date of the financial statements, Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability = (5 million lb) × ($0.83 – $0.85) = 5000000 × 0.02 = 100000

Copper Monkey should record a loss and liability of $100,000

zalisa [80]

Answer:

17.19   years

Explanation:

The triple value of the earnings per share=$3.50*3=$10.50

The growth rate is 6.6%

Using the nper formula in excel, we can determine the number of years earnings per share would triple

=nper(rate,pmt,-pv,fv)

rate is 6.6%

pmt is not applicable to the scenario ,hence it is zero

pv is the current earnings per share

fv is the future earnings per share

=nper(6.6%,0,-3.5,10.5)= 17.19

salantis [7]

Answer:

B. 9.0 times.

Explanation:

Accounts Receivable Turnover (ART) = Net credit sales/ Average accounts receivable

Net credit sales = <em>$7,200,000</em>

Average accounts receivable  = (beginning AR - ending AR) /2

Average Accounts receivable = ($820,000 + $780,000)/2

Average AR = <em>$800,000</em>

Therefore Accounts receivable turnover = $7,200,000/800,000 = 9.0 times
