AT Oils, a gas station, retails 30,000 gallons of petrol per year. Its ordering costs are $20 per order and holding costs are $40 per gallon. According to the economic order quantity (EOQ) model, approximately how often should the company place a fresh order for petrol
Answer:
The company should place an order every 2 days
Explanation:
The EOQ or economic order quantity is the quantity which minimizes the inventory related costs. The EOQ is calculated as follows,
EOQ = √(2 * D * O) / H
Where,
D is the annual demandO is the ordering cost per orderH is the holding cost per unit per yearEOQ = √(2 * 30000 * 20) / 40
EOQ = 173.2050808 gallons rounded off to 174 gallons
If the company orders using the EOQ, then at an annual demand of 30000 gallons, the number of times that company should order the EOQ is,
Number of orders = 30000 / 174 = 172.4137931 or 173 orders per year
If the company needs to order 173 times per year, the company should place an order every x number of days.
x = 365 / 173
x = 2.10982659 days rounded off to 2.11 days or every 2 days
"A customer contributed $50,000 to a variable annuity contract. The account value has grown over the years and the NAV is now $70,000. The customer is now age 60, and takes a lump-sum distribution of $25,000 to pay for expenses. Which statement is TRUE?"
Answer: $20,000 of the distribution is taxable and $5,000 is not taxable
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
A. The entire $25,000 distribution is not taxable
B. $5,000 of the distribution is taxable and $20,000 is not taxable
C. $20,000 of the distribution is taxable and $5,000 is not taxable
D. The entire $25,000 distribution is taxable.
From the question, we are told that a customer contributed $50,000 to a variable annuity contract and that the account value has grown over the years and the NAV is now $70,000.
We are further told that the customer is now age 60, and takes a lump-sum distribution of $25,000 to pay for expenses. This indicates that there will be tax deductible in the amount of :
= $70000 - $50000 = $20,000. It should also be noted that $5000 won't be taxed.
For some reason, the seller of a home at 123 Mulberry Lane decided not to close on a sale transaction on closing day. The seller called the title company and told them she would not close the transaction but would not say why. The buyer has a moving truck, already loaded with his things, sitting in front of the home, waiting for possession of the new property. Since the seller refuses to close, what can the buyer do?
Answer:
The buyer can sue for specific performance of the contract. In real estate, in order for the buyer to be able to sue for specific performance, he/she must have all the money (or mortgage) ready to finish the transaction. It is very difficult for someone to sue for damages for not wanting to complete the sale of a house because houses are unique in a way that similar houses in different neighborhoods or even streets might be worth a lot more or less.
When you sue for specific performance, the non-breaching party will request that the other party performs their side of the contract.

Purchase of equipment 80,000
Purchase of available-for-sale securities 60,000
Purchase of treasury stock 70,000

Answer:
Dunbarn Co.
The amount Dunbarn Ltd should report as cash provided (used) by investing activities in its statement of cash flows for the year is:
B. $(140,000)
Explanation:
a) Investing outflows:
Purchase of equipment $80,000
Purchase of available-for-sale securities 60,000
Total spent on investing activities $140,000
b) Investing activities are the financial activities that an entity engages in to increase its stock of owned resources. They include cash inflows and outflows around the acquisition of long-term assets and securities. These are investments made so that the firm can generate more resources for itself. The purchase of inventory falls under operating activities, as inventory forms part of the main business of the entity. The purchase of treasury stock and issuance of common stock are classified as financing activities and not investing activities. This leaves the purchase of equipment and available-for-sale securities as the only investing activities during the year.

Answer:
1. only output.
2. only prices
Explanation:
Aggregate supply curve is a graphical representation of supply indices of a firm which shows the total quantity of output, that is real GDP that firms will produce and sell at given price level.
Hence, given that the short-run aggregate supply curve is horizontal and the long-run aggregate supply curve is vertical, then a change in the money supply will change ONLY OUTPUT in the short run and change ONLY PRICES in the long run.

Complete Question:
Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt is an entrepreneurial socialite who has successfully worked as a fund raiser for a not-for-profit organization for the past 10 years. Because of her success at raising money and her extensive list of social contacts, she is recruited by an investment advisory firm to become a representative. Ms. Vanderbilt would be permitted to:
I. state to customers that she has 10 years of experience in the industry.
II. use the title "investment adviser representative" on her business card.
III. state to customers that she is registered as a representative with the SEC.
Group of answer choices
A. I only
B. II only
C. II and III
D. I, II, III
Answer:
B. II only
Explanation:
In this scenario, Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt is an entrepreneurial socialite who has successfully worked as a fund raiser for a not-for-profit organization for the past 10 years. Consequently, she was recruited by an investment advisory firm to become a representative as a result of her expertise and success at raising money, as well as her extensive list of social contacts.
Hence, Ms. Vanderbilt would be permitted to use the title "investment adviser representative" on her business card but she is prohibited from;
1. stating to customers that she has 10 years of experience in the industry because she worked for a not-for-profit organization.
2. stating to customers that she is registered as a representative with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) because only the investment adviser is required to register with SEC.
She can only register at the state where she's representing the investment adviser.
Hence, points I and III would be considered a misrepresentation if used by Ms. Muffy Vanderbilt.
Suncoast Healthcare is planning to acquire a new x ray machine that costs $200,000. The business can either lease the machine using an operating lease or buy it using a loan from a local bank. Suncoast's balance sheet prior to acquiring the machine is a follows:
Current assets: $100,000 --- debt : $400,000
net fixed assets: $900,00 ---- equity: $ 600,000
total assets : $ 1,000,000 --- total claims: $1,000,000
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it iss purchased?
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two asquistition alternatives?
Answer:
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
debt ratio = liabilities / equity = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it is purchased?
if X-ray machine is leased, debt ratio = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
if X-ray machine is purchased, debt ratio = $600,000 / $600,000 = 1
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two acquisition alternatives?
yes, because a higher debt ratio means that the company is under a higher financial stress since it has more outstanding loans, which increases the financial risk.

Carlita began 2014 with a taxes payable account balance of $3,000. On December 31, 2014, its taxes payable account balance is $7,000. How much did Carlita pay to the tax authorities during the year?
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount pay to the tax authorities during the year is shown below;
Let us assume the accrued payment be $6,000
Let us assume the amount pay to the tax authorities be X
Beginning Taxes payable account balance + Accrued payment - X = Ending taxes payable account balance
$3,000 + $6,000 - X = $7,000
$9,000 - X = $7,000
So, the X is
= $9,000 - $7,000
= $2,000
hence, the amount pay to the tax authorities is $2,000
