Answer:
Sales= $93,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.30
Profit= $12,300
Fixed costs= $15,600
First, we need to determine the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 12,300 + 15,600
Total contribtuion margin= $27,900
Now, to calculate the sales revenue, we need to use the following formula:
Sales= total contribution margin / Contribution margin ratio
Sales= 27,900/0.3
Sales= $93,000
Jeremy is married to Amy, who abandoned him in 2019. He has not seen or communicated with her since April of that year. He maintains a household in which their son, Evan, lives. Evan is age 25 and earns over $6,000 each year. For tax year 2020, Jeremy's filing status is: a.Head of household. b.Surviving spouse. c.Married, filing jointly. d.Married, filing separately.
Answer: d. Married, filing separately.
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Jeremy is married to Amy, who abandoned him in 2019 and that he has not seen or communicated with her since April of that year.
We are further told that he maintains a household in which their son, Evan, lives and that Evan is age 25 and earns over $6,000 each year.
For tax year 2020, Jeremy's filing status is married, filling separately. This is because we are told that Jeremy hasn't has not seen or communicated with her since April. Since they're not divorced, it means they're still married but filing separately.

A recent study revealed twenty percent (20%) of the island's 1,000,000 population exhibited an interest in owning a motorcycle. Of those interested, only fifty percent (50%) have the requisite income to purchase a Honda motorcycle. Three (3) Honda dealerships provide the island’s entire population with access to the defined market offer. However, twenty-five percent (25%) of the interested individuals with the requisite income and access to the defined market offer do not meet the island's minimum license age requirement of eighteen (18) years of age.Calculate the number, not percentage, of the people in each of the following levels of market definition. (Show calculations)a. Potential Marketb. Mass Marketc. Available Marketd. Qualified Available Market
Answer:
A
Potential market
Interested percentage of people x total population
1000000x20%
= 200000
B.
Mass market is potential market x those with requisite income in percentage
= 200000x50%
= 200000x0.5
= 100000
C
Available market is also mass market
= 100000
D.
Qualified market
Available market x minimum qualification in percentage
Percentage of Minimum qualification = 100 - 25%
= 75%
Qualified market = 100000x0.75
= 75000

Jupiter Explorers has $8,800 in sales. The profit margin is 4 percent. There are 5,300 shares of stock outstanding. The market price per share is $1.60. What is the price-earnings ratio
Answer:
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Sale = $8,800
Profit margin = 4% = 0.04
Number of share = 5,300
Market price per share = $1.60
Find:
Price-earnings ratio
Computation:
Earnings Per share = Profit / Number of shares
Earnings Per share = [8,800 x 0.04] / 5300
Earnings Per share = $0.0664
Price earnings ratio = Market price per share / Earnings Per share
Price earnings ratio = 1.60/0.0664
Price earnings ratio = 24.09 (Approx)

Tasty Subs acquired a delivery truck on October 1, 2021, for $25,600. The company estimates a residual value of $1,600 and a six-year service life. Required: Calculate depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end.
Answer:
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation for depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022
Using this formula
Depreciation = ( Cost − Residual Value )/
Useful Life
Where,
Cost of Truck on October 1,2021= $25,600
Residual Value = $1,600
Useful life of truck = 6 years service life
Let plug in the formula
2021
Depreciation Expense = $25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years * 3/12
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Note October 1 to 31 December 2021 will give us 3 months
2022
Depreciation Expense=$25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Therefore the Depreciation Expense for 2021 will be $1,000 while the Depreciation Expense for 2022 will be $4,000
what will you use for banca/boat to move
Answer:
a paddle
Explanation:
Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.
So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.

Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar, and while walking through the hotel parking lot to reach her rental car, she was robbed and raped. Wagner sued Regency Inn for damages, alleging that they maintained a public nuisance. A clause in the lease held that Americar was responsible to indemnify Regency Inn for any damages suffered due to the operation of the car rental agency. At the time of the assault on Wagner, Americar was a holdover tenant.
Can Regency Inn claim indemnification under these conditions? Wagner v. Regency Inn Corp., 463 N.W.2d 450 (1990).
Answer:
The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.
The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.
The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.
R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is running unusually high. The corporate tax rate is also high this year, but it is scheduled to decline significantly next year. In an effort to lower the current year's net income and to take advantage of the changing income tax rate, the president of R. J. Graziano Wholesale instructs the plant accountant to recommend to the purchasing department a large purchase of inventory for delivery 3 days before the end of the year. The price of the inventory to be purchased has doubled during the year, and the purchase will represent a major portion of the ending inventory value.
Required:
a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?
b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?
c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?
Answer:
a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?
The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.
Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.
b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?
If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with. At beginning of the year, inventory must be average to determine beginning inventory. it might help to increase COGS a little, therefore, decreasing net income, but the effects shouldn't be significant.
c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?
It is useless, and he should know it. The only implication is that this will help him realize his low IQ.
The last in first out is the common method specified by the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It is the method used to maintain the account of inventory. It states that the recently purchased products are expensed at the first expense.
a. The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes the cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

#1 unearned revenue
The company should not recognize the summer-month occupancy as this occurs between April and June thereofre it is unearned The company has an obligation to perform. To give the rental space thus it is a liability not earnings.
#2 Supplies adjustment:
Jan 1st $4,600 - March 31st $530 = $4,070 supplies expense
#3 expired insurance:
value per month: $7,500 / 12 months = 625
month expired between Jan 1st and March 31st: 3
total value f expired insurance: $625 per month x 3 month = 1,875
#4 accured expenses concetps were incurred and we most recognize them

In 2009, an 1893 Morgan silver dollar sold for $6,450. Required: What was the rate of return on this investment? (Do not include the percent sign (%). Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Answer: 7.86%
Explanation:
Using the Future Value formula;
= Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
The question is looking for the rate so making that the subject would be;
Assuming the car was $1 in 1893,
And n = 2009 - 1893 = 116 years
FV = Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
( 1 + r)^n = FV/ Amount
1 ^n + r^n = FV / Amount
r = n√((FV/ Amount) / 1^n)
r = n√(FV/ Amount)
r = 116√(6,450/ 1)
= 1.07855
Subtract 1 for the percentage;
= 1.07855 - 1
= 7.86%

Unless you're a person and your effort to start a company isn't successful, there are 2 kinds of investments you have had in attempting to develop yourself in the company.The expenses clients used to have before you made an intention to open a particular business. These would be personal but non-deductible charges. They include other expenses incurred throughout a regular search for something like a company or equity investment opportunity or perhaps a thorough investigation into it. The expenditures you have in your effort to purchase or launch a particular venture. Such charges are capital expenditures, and that as a capital loss, you will subtract them.Since the mid-1980s, Disney's strategic planning group turned the company into a huge and diverse collection of media and entertainment businesses. The sprawling Disney grew to include everything from theme resorts and film studios to media networks, consumer products, and a cruise line. The newly transformed Disney company proved hard to manage and performed unevenly. Recently, Disney disbanded the centralized strategic planning unit, decentralizing its functions to Disney division managers. Since then, Disney's management has helped it perform strongly in a competitive marketplace. Suppose that one of Disney's business units is a chain of sound studios. The studios have low profit potential, and the chain commands a relatively small share of the market. On these grounds, Disney is considering whether to sell the chain.
Required:
What most strongly suggests that Disney should keep the chain instead?
Answer:
Explanation:
Based on this information I believe that the statement that strongly suggests this is that Disney's management has helped it perform strongly in a competitive marketplace. If the chain of sound studios only holds a relatively small share of the market, it means that the market is very competitive. Therefore, if the Management team has experience in helping such businesses thrive in these competitive marketplaces then they should wait and give it a chance to grow instead of selling. Growing a business takes time which is what Disney should give it by keeping the chain.

connecting u dropped its price from $20 to $16 per gigabyte of data. Joe according to the midpoint formula, Connecting U reduced its price by what percentage?
Answer:
-$22.2
Explanation:
The computation of price by percentage is shown below:-
Price by percentage = (End price - Beginning price) ÷ (End price - Beginning price) ÷ 2 × 100
= ($16 - $20) ÷ ($16 - $20) ÷ 2 × 100
= -$4 ÷ $18 × 100
= -$400 ÷ $18
= -$22.2
So, we have applied the above formula.
And, the same is to be considered
Connecting u dropped price in percentage is 22.2%
Midpoint formula:Given that;
Old price = $20
New price = $16
Find:
Connecting u dropped price in percentage
Computation:
[tex]Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{\frac{16+20}{2} }]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{-4}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=22.2[/tex]
Connecting u dropped price in percentage = 22.2%

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%

Analyzing Unearned Revenue Disclosures
The following disclosures (excerpted) are from the August 28, 2016, annual report of Costco Wholesale Corporation.
Revenue Recognition: We generally recognize sales, net of estimated returns, at the time the member takes possession of merchandise or receives services. When we collect payment from customers prior to the transfer of ownership of merchandise or the performance of services, the amount recieved is generally recorded as deferred revenue on the consolidated balance sheets until the sales or service is completed. Membership fee revenue represents annual membership fees paid by our memberships. We account for membership fee revenue, net of estimated refunds, on a deferred basis, whereby revenue is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.

Other current liabilities 2,003 1,695
Total current liabilities $15,575 $16,539
(a) Which of the following statements best explains in layman terms how Costco accounts for the cash received for its membership fees?
Because Costco does not know how many of its members will continue to the end of the year, cash received from members is recorded as a liability and recognized as revenue only at year-end.
When it receives cash, the company records it as a current liability. Then, it recognizes revenue evenly over the year.
The company records revenue when the cash is received.
Because Costco has a refund policy, the company records revenue when the cash is received, less an allowance for expected membership terminations.
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
(b) Use the balance sheet information on Costco's Deferred Membership Fees liability account and its income statement revenues related to Membership Fees earned during 2016 to compute the cash that Costco received during 2016 for membership fees.
