A business statistics course has 2 accounting majors, 4 finance majors, 6 marketing majors, and 8 insurance majors. Which one of the following is true if a pie chart was constructed to depict majors of students? Multiple choice question. The marketing slice would be three times as big as the accounting slice. The slice for accounting would represent 20% of the pie chart. The slice for insurance would make up more than half of the pie chart. The slice for marketing majors would be two times as big as the finance slice.
Answer: The marketing slice would be three times as big as the accounting slice.
Explanation:
The total number of majors are:
= 2 + 4 + 6 + 8
= 20 majors
The proportions of the majors are:
Accounting = 2 / 20 * 100% = 10%
Finance = 4 / 20 * 100% = 20%
Marketing = 6 / 20 = 30%
Insurance = 8 / 20 = 40%
Notice how marketing takes 30% and Accounting takes 10%.
Marketing will therefore take up three times as much slices as Accounting.

Required: Journal entry Received Rs.18,000 from debtors and discount allowed him Rs. 2,000. please help.
Answer:
If there was a discount allowed of Rs. 2,000 then it means that the total amount the debtor was owing was:
= Cash paid by debtor + Discount allowed
= 18,000 + 2,000
= Rs. 20,000
Journal entry is therefore:
Date Account Title Debit Credit
XX-XX-XXXX Cash $18,000
Discount allowed $ 2,000
Accounts Receivable $20,000
What is the difference between economic profit and producer​ surplus? A. Economic profit includes opportunity costs but producer surplus does not. B. Producer surplus includes variable costs but economic profit does not. C. Economic profit includes fixed costs but producer surplus does not. D. Economic profit includes marginal costs but producer surplus does not. E. Economic profit includes government taxes but producer surplus does not.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
Economic cost is accounting profit less implicit cost
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Diving Fiasco. Mike, who owns a dive shop in the United States, decides to take a group of his customers diving in U.S. waters. Mike is aware that sharks occasionally visit the area where the divers will be visiting. He is also aware that, while stingrays are usually tame, they can become aggressive when fed. Mike does not reveal that information to the group of divers going with him. The divers go down into the water, and some have squid with which to feed the stingrays. During the dive, one of the stingrays becomes agitated and latches onto diver Susie's arm. Susie is so disconcerted that she drops her regulator (her breathing device) from her mouth and is in considerable difficulty. Another diver, Billy, encounters a shark, which snaps at him. While the shark does not actually bite Billy, the attack results in damage to his diving equipment. Mike, who is in charge of the dive, does nothing to help and leaves the other divers to return to the boat because the dive turned out to be more trouble than expected. Wendy, another diver on the trip, also returns to the boat without doing anything to help the divers in distress. Sam, on the other hand, goes to rescue the divers who are in distress. He manages to do so but in the process he pulls his back and requires medical care. All divers are very unhappy with Mike. Which of the following is true regarding whether Wendy and Sam had a duty to come to the assistance of the divers in peril?
A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
B. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if Mike refused to do so.
C. Wendy and Sam did not have a duty to aid the divers in peril, unless they were the first to observe the problem. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if they were acquainted with them before the dive.
D. Wendy and Sam had no duty to help strangers. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril if personal safety was involved, but not O if the only issue was damage to property
Answer: A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
Explanation:
Sam and Wendy were simply customers of Mike in this scenario and so could not be reasonable expected to take over his duties to oversee the dive which he initiated and was aware of the risks of.
They therefore did not have a duty to aid the other divers especially given the fact that they did not know the risks involved in diving in that particular area. The only person who had an actual duty to rescue the divers is the company or person that took the people on the dive which in this case was Mike.
Susan has three credit cards - 1) an Old Navy card she got her last year of high school and now doesn't use that much, 2) a Visa card she got while in college and pays an $50 annual fee for benefits she doesn't use that much, and 3) a Mastercard she opened last month which has no annual fees. Susan has decided that she only needs two credit cards, which one should she get rid of
Answer: Visa card
Explanation:
Since Susan has decided that she only needs two credit cards, then she should keep the old Navy card she got her last year of high school and the Mastercard that she opened last month which has no annual fee.
In this case, since she doesn't use the Visa card that she got while in college and th e card pays an $50 annual fee for benefits that she doesn't use that much, thus means that the card isn't beneficial to her. Therefore, she should get rid of the Visa card.

Cardinal Company manufactures vitamin capsules. For the month of June, Cardinal's encapsulating department had 18,000 tons in beginning inventory (with transferred-in costs of $4,400) and 81,000 tons completed inventory during the month. Further, the mixing department completed and transferred out 72,000 tons at a cost of $22,300 in June. Calculate unit cost for the transferred-in category. (Note: Round answer to two decimal places.)
Answer: $0.30 per unit
Explanation:
The unit cost for the transferred-in category is calculated as:
= (Transfer cost of beginning inventory + transfer cost of transferred out inventory) / (Beginning inventory + Inventory transferred out)
= (4,400 + 22,300) / (18,000 + 72,000)
= 26,700 / 90,000
= 0.2967
= $0.30 per unit
Smith, an individual calendar-year taxpayer, purchased 100 shares of Core Co. common stock for $15,000 on December 15, Year 1, and an additional 100 shares for $13,000 on December 30, Year 1. On January 3, Year 2, Smith sold the shares purchased on December 15, Year 1, for $13,000. What amount of loss from the sale of Core's stock is deductible on Smith's Year 1 and Year 2 income tax returns
Answer:
Year 1 = $0Year 2 = $0Explanation:
Stock was sold in year 2 so there is no loss that would be deductible from Smith's Year 1 income tax returns.
In year 2, the stock was sold for $13,000 even though it was bought for $15,000. There is therefore a loss of $2,000.
This $2,000 results from a wash sale however so it will not be deductible. A wash sale is used to describe a scenario where stock from one transaction is sold but was the investor buys that same stock in another transaction 30 days before or after they sold the former.
As Smith purchased another $13,000 worth of stock merely 16 days before he sold the first batch, this is a wash sale and its loss is not deductible.

A tile manufacturer has supplied the following data: Boxes of tiles produced and sold 520,000 Sales revenue $ 2,132,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 650,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 464,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 260,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 312,000 Net operating income $ 446,000 What is the company's unit contribution margin
Answer:
unitary contribution margin= $2.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= Variable manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
Total variable cost= 560,000 + 260,000
Total variable cost= $820,000
Now, the unitary variable cost and the selling price:
unitary variable cost= 820,000 / 520,000= $1.58
Selling price= 2,132,000 / 520,000= $4.1
Finally, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
unitary contribution margin= 4.1 - 1.58
unitary contribution margin= $2.52

A builder and a wealthy landowner entered into a written contract whereby the builder would build on the grounds of the landowner's estate a mausoleum, using imported Italian granite, to hold the remains of the landowner's recently deceased wife. The cost of the mausoleum was set at $100,000. After the contract was signed but before construction began, the builder learned that an unforeseen embargo prevented him from getting the granite he planned to use to build the mausoleum. He could get the granite from another source, but it would cost an additional $25,000. The builder explained the situation to the landowner, who agreed to pay $125,000 to have the mausoleum built. The builder prepared a writing stating that the price for the mausoleum was now $125,000. Both the builder and the landowner signed the writing. After the work was completed, the landowner gave the builder a certified check for $100,000 and refused to pay one penny more.If the builder brings suit against the landowner to recover the additional $25,000, will the builder likely prevail?A Yes, because the modification was fair and equitable in view of the unanticipated increase in the cost of granite.B Yes, because the later agreement was in writing and signed by the parties.C No, because the builder had a preexisting duty to do the work for $100,000.D No, because the 25% increase in price that the builder was trying to force on the landowner is unconscionable.
Answer:
If the builder brings suit against the landowner to recover the additional $25,000, the builder will likely prevail:
A Yes, because the modification was fair and equitable in view of the unanticipated increase in the cost of granite.
Explanation:
When the parties signed the original contract, the embargo on the importation of granite was not fully anticipated. When the builder brought the modification to the landowner's attention, the landowner did not object. Instead, he gladly and understandably signed the modified terms. It was based on his modified agreement that the builder was able to perform his own side of the contract. Therefore, the landowner should be honorable enough to abide by the modified contract price, which is, overall, not unconscionable.
Blossom Company purchased equipment on January 1 at a list price of $100000, with credit terms 2/10, n/30. Payment was made within the discount period. Blossom paid $3000 sales tax on the equipment and paid installation charges of $1500. Prior to installation, Blossom paid $3000 to pour a concrete slab on which to place the equipment. What is the total cost of the new equipment
Answer:
the total cost of the new equipment is $105,500

The government passes a law that allows a substantial subsidy for every acre of land used to grow tobacco. How does this program affect the long-run supply curve for tobacco? The long-run supply curve for tobacco will A. shift to the right because the price of tobacco will increase. B. shift down because . C. shift because tobacco production will become profitable. D. not change because the minimum long-run average cost of production will not change. E. become instead of horizontal because the costs of inputs will change.
Answer: C. shift right/ out because tobacco production will become profitable.
Explanation:
Subsidies reduce the cost of using something because the government would sponsor it. The cost of farming tobacco will therefore reduce in this instance. Tobacco companies will therefore incur less cost to acquire tobacco and so will start making more profit.
This will encourage other firms to come into the tobacco market as time goes on. As more firms enter, there will be a larger supply of tobacco. The supply curve will then shift right to depict this.

Minstrel Manufacturing uses a job order costing system. During one month, Minstrel purchased $212,400 of raw materials on credit; issued materials to production of $207,000 of which $33,600 were indirect. Minstrel incurred a factory payroll of $157,200, of which $43,600 was indirect labor. Minstrel uses a predetermined overhead application rate of 150% of direct labor cost. Minstrel's beginning and ending Work in Process Inventory are $16,700 and $29,400 respectively. Compute the cost of jobs transferred to Finished Goods Inventory.
Answer:
$444,700
Explanation:
Use the following formula to calculate the cost of products transferred to finished goods
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = Beginning inventory + direct materials + Direct labor + Applied OH 150% - Ending Inventory
Placing values in the formula
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = 16,700 + ( $207,000 - $33,600 ) + ( $157,200 - $43,600 ) + ( ( $157,200 - $43,600 ) x 150% ) - $29,400
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = 16,700 + 173,400 + 113,600 + 170,400 - $29,400
Cost of products transferred to finished goods = $444,700
