Notes Receivable differ from Accounts Receivable in that Notes Receivable: A. are generally considered a weaker legal claim B. do not have to be created for every new transaction, so they are used more frequently C. are noncurrent assets D. generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected
Answer: D. generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected
Explanation:
The notes receivable refers to the written promise that an amount of money will be received at a future date.
It should be noted that such money consist of the principal and the interest accrued. It is written under the current assets section in the balance sheet.
On the other hand, the accounts receivable refers to the payment that a company will receive from the customers who have bought its goods on credit.
While the nite receivable charges interest, the account receivable doesn't. Therefore, notes receivable differ from accounts receivable in that notes receivable generally charge interest from the day they are signed to the day they are collected.

When the price of paintings is set at $500, the local art gallery supplies 20 paintings per week. When the price of paintings increases to $750, the gallery supplies 25 paintings. Calculate the price elasticity of supply using the mid-point formula. Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. If you are entering a negative number be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of that number. The price elasticity of supply is: .
Answer:
the price elasticity of supply is 0.555
Explanation:
The computation of the price elasticity of supply is given below:
= Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ percentage change in price
= (25 - 20) ÷ (25 + 20) ÷ 2 ÷ (750 - 500) ÷ (750 + 500) ÷ 2
= 5 ÷45 ÷ 250 ÷ 125
= 0.555
Hence, the price elasticity of supply is 0.555

Nonmanufacturing costs are ______. Multiple choice question. always reported as inventory only reported as inventory under variable costing never reported as inventory only reported as inventory under full absorption costing
Answer:
never reported as inventory
Explanation:
Nonmanufacturing costs are never reported as inventory. This is because they are not tangible items that need to be stored, also these costs do not have anything to do with the production of the end product and are not resources to the production process. Instead, these costs revolve around everything not related to the product creation such as company personnel or shipping/storage costs. Therefore, it is never reported to inventory which is for products and resources.
Suppose that France and Denmark both produce oil and olives. Frances’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 4 barrels of oil, while Denmark’s opportunity cost of producing a crate of olives is 7 barrels of oil.
By comparing the opportunity cost of producing olives in the two countries, you can tell that _______has a comparative advantage in the production of olives and ______has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
Suppose that France and Denmark consider trading olives and oil with each other. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than _____ of oil for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark. Similarly, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it receives more than _____ of olives for each barrel of oil it exports to France.
Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following terms of trade (that is, price of olives in terms of oil) would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade?
A__ 6 barrels of oil per crate of olives
B__ 3 barrels of oil per crate of olives
C__ 5 barrels of oil per crate of olives
D__ 8 barrels of oil per crate of olives
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, one can deduce that while (France) has a comparative advantage in the production of olives, it should be noted that on the other hand, (Denmark) has a comparative advantage in the production of oil.
If France and Denmark consider trading olives and oil with each other, then France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than (4) of oil for each crate of olives it exports to Denmark while on the other hand, Denmark can gain from trade as long as it gets more than (1/7) crate of olives for each barrel of oil it exports to France.
The terms of trade that would allow both Denmark and France to gain from trade include:
• 6 barrels of oil per crate of olives.
• 5 barrels of oil per crate of olives.

If financial markets are efficient, that suggests that:_____.
a. investors cannot expect to outperform the market consistently.
b. security prices are random.
c. investors cannot earn superior.
d. returns bearing additional risk will not increase return.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The efficient market hypothesis posits that market prices contains all information in the market. As a result, an investor cannot consistently expect to outperform the market or consistently generate a positive alpha.
The efficient market hypothesis thus suggests a passive form of investment.
Forms of the efficient market hypothesis
a. the weak form - market prices contain information about past market prices. thus there is no need for technical analysis
b. the semi strong - it posits that market prices consists of all publicly available information
c. the strong form - it submits that market prices reflects both publicly and privately available information. As a result, excess returns cannot be earned consistently through insider trading

Department M had 3,000 units 59% completed in process at the beginning of June, 12,800 units completed during June, and 1,000 units 32% completed at the end of June. What was the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? a.11,350 units b.13,120 units c.9,800 units d.14,120 units
Answer:
Department M
The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories is:
a. 11,350 units
Explanation:
Beginning work in process units = 3,000
Degree of completion = 59%
Work to be done during June on the beginning WIP = 1,230 units (3,000 * 41%)
Units started and completed during June = 9,800 Units (12,800 - 3,000)
Ending work in process, equivalent units = 320 (1,000 * 32%)
Total equivalent units of production for conversion costs for June, using the FIFO method are = 11,350 units

A company has a degree of operating leverage of 2.5. If sales increase by 10%, then profits will: Multiple choice question. increase by 25% increase by 10% decrease by 10% decrease by 25%
Answer:
. increase by 25% increase
Explanation:
The degree of operating leverage (DOL) measures the sensitivity of a company's operating income or profits to changes in the demand
DOL = percentage change in operating income or profits / percentage change in units sold
2.5 = percentage change in operating income / 10%
percentage change in operating income = 10% x 2.5 = 25%
profits will increase by 25%

There were no beginning or ending inventories. The absorption costing unit product cost was: ____________-
Answer: $197
Explanation:
With absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing costs are absorbed by the products which means that the product cost will include fixed costs related to manufacturing.
The absorption costing unit product cost is therefore:
= Direct materials + Direct Labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing Overhead per unit
Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit is:
= 224,000 / 6,400 units
= $35 per unit
Absorption cost unit product cost = 72 + 80 + 10 + 35
= $197

At Bargain Electronics, it costs $30 per unit ($20 variable and $10 fixed) to make an MP3 player at full capacity that normally sells for $45. A foreign wholesaler offers to buy 3,000 units at $25 each. Bargain Electronics will incur special shipping costs of $3 per unit. Assuming that Bargain Electronics has excess operating capacity, indicate the net income (loss) Bargain Electronics would realize by accepting the special order.
Answer:
Bargain Electronics
Bargain Electronics would realize a net income of $6,000 by accepting the special order.
Explanation:
a) data and Calculations:
Production costs of MP3 Player:
Variable cost = $20
Fixed cost = $10
Total costs = $30
Selling price = $45
Special order from a foreign wholesaler = 3,000 units
Special order selling price = $25 per unit

Answer:
a. $27,000
b. $670,000
$21,000
$27,000
c.$649,000
Explanation:
a. Calculation to determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts
Using this formula
Adjusting entry for Uncollectible accounts = Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - Debit balance on Allowance for doubtful accounts
Let plug in the formula
Adjusting entry for Uncollectible accounts= $21,000 + $6,000
Adjusting entry for Uncollectible accounts= $27,000
b. Calculation to determine the adjusted balances of Accounts Receivable, Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, and Bad Debt Expense.
Accounts Receivable = $670,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $21,000
Bad Debt Expense =$21,000 + $6,000
Bad Debt Expense= $27,000
c. Calculation to determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable
Using this formula
Net realizable value of accounts receivable = Accounts receivables - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Let plug in the formula
Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $670,000 - $21,000
Net realizable value of accounts receivable= $649,000
Therefore the net realizable value of accounts receivable is $649,000

Fixed costs can be defined as costs thatGroup of answer choicesvary inversely with production.vary in proportion with production.are incurred only when production is large enough.are incurred even if nothing is produced.
Answer: are incurred even if nothing is produced.
Explanation:
Fixed costs are referred to as the cost that doesn't vary with the production level. Even if the company doesn't produce anything, the fixed cost will still be incurred.
The fixed cost is different from the variable cost which is the cost that varies along with production. Examples of fixed cost include salaries, rental lease payments, salaries, etc.
MC Qu. 97 K Company estimates that overhead costs for... K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,648,000 for indirect labor and $960,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 96,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, how much overhead would be assigned to a product requiring 5 direct labor hours
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $240
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,648,000 + 960,000) / 96,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $48 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 48*5
Allocated MOH= $240
Mary incurred a $20,000 nonbusiness bad debt last year. She also had an $18,000 long-term capital gain last year. Her taxable income for last year was $25,000. During the current year, she unexpectedly collected $12,000 on the debt. How should Mary account for the collection
Answer: $12000 income.
Explanation:
It should be noted that non business bad debts are regarded as short term capital loss. In the question given, the $18000 long-term capital gain will have to be offset against the bad debt of $20000.
In this case, the tax benefit will be $18000, therefore $12000 will be recognized as the income.

True or False: Efficiency wages are higher-than-average wages that are intended to reduce the chances that workers engage in non-productive behavior that might jeopardize their high-paying job. True False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The motivations of employees are both financial and non-financial with a high salary considered to be a financial motivation. Employers will pay employees a higher wage so as to motivate them to be more productive at work. This is called an efficiency wage because it increases the productivity of employees by motivating them more.
When workers are being paid such a high salary in relation to the average salary in the market, they would want to ensure that they keep getting paid this huge salary so they will try to avoid non-productive behavior that would lead to them losing their jobs.
