Martin Company incurred the following costs for 70,000 units: Variable costs $420,000 Fixed costs 392,000 Martin has received a special order from a foreign company for 3,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $6,300 for shipping. If Martin wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?
Answer:
Sales price = $8.1
Explanation:
The units sale price should be that that equated the total revenue to the the total relevant cost of the special order
The relevant cost of the special order includes;
1. Variable cost
2. Additional shipping cost
Note the fixed costs are irrelevant for this decision because they would be incurred either way
Variable cost per unit = Total variable cost /Number of unit
= 420,000/70,000 units = $6 per unit
$
Total variable cost of special order
( 3,000× $6) = $18,000
Shipping cost 6,300
Total relevant costs of special order. 24,300
Minimum Sales price = Total relevant cost /number of units
Sales price = $24,300/3,000 units =$8.1
Sales price = $8.1
Kelly tells Matthew that she will sell him one of her motorcycles at some time in the future. Matthew eagerly accepts. Do they have a valid contract?
Answer:
Probably not, because the terms are not definite.
Explanation:
A contract is considered to be valid when there is a written or expressed agreement for one party to deliver goods or services to another.
The terms are clearly stated. For example the price, time of sale, acceptance of price, and so on.
A valid contract has the following elements: offer, acceptance, agreement, and consideration.
In the given scenario where Kelly tells Matthew that she will sell him one of her motorcycles at some time in the future and Matthew eagerly accepts. There is an agreement but there is no specific offer and consideration of price and also the time of transaction.
So the contract is probably not valid because terms are not clearly defined.

Several of the firm's representatives interviewing a candidate at the same time is typical of what type of interview
Answer:
When two or more representatives of a company interview a candidate at the same time, it is referred to as board or panel interview.

For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in planned investment in the short run results in a(n):
Question:
For an economy starting at potential output, a decrease in autonomous expenditure in the short-run results in a(n):
A. increase in potential output
B. recessionary output gap
C. decrease in potential output
D. expansionary output gap
Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
A decrease in autonomous expenditure shifts the Planned Aggregate Expenditure curve downward thus creating a lower equilibrium output.
PAE = C + Ip + G + NX
where
PAE = Planned Aggregate Expenditure
C = consumption
Ip = Investment Spending
G = Government Spending
NX = Net Export
If an economy has its output equal to its potential, this will create a reduction in short-run equilibrium output leading to a recessionary output gap.

A customer in the 28% tax bracket wants to buy a municipal GO bond with a 7.5% yield that matures in 6 years. The tax-equivalent yield of this bond is
Answer:
10.42%
Explanation:
The computation of the tax-equivalent yield of this bond is shown below:
tax-equivalent yield = Tax free rate ÷ (1 - tax rate)
where,
Tax-free rate is 0.075

Explain how the following transactions affect the accounting equation: assets purchased on credit rent paid in cash office furniture purchased for cash inventory bought on credit
Answer:
1. An increase in asset and an increase in liability
2. The decrease in asset cash.
3. An increase in assets and a decrease in cash.
4. An increase in inventory and an increase in liability.
Explanation:
The asset purchased on credit will increase the fixed asset account and it will also increase the account payable account. Thus, asset and liability have the same effect.
Rent paid in cash will decrease the company’s asset cash. While the office furniture purchased in cash will increase the assets in the account and cash will be reduced by the same amount. Further, the inventory purchased on credit will increase the inventory and it will also increase the liability by the same amount.
Answer:
edmentum/plato
Explanation:
Assets purchased on credit
In this case, the business purchases assets on credit; that is, the business is not paying cash right now. The business is thus incurring a liability here because it will have to pay the cash in the future. Thus, this transaction increases the assets (because the business purchases them), as well as the liability (obligation to pay in future), thereby balancing the accounting equation.
Rent paid in cash
Rent is an expense that a business has to incur. Thus, in this case, the business is spending cash; that is, it is losing “cash,” which is an asset. Also, because it is losing money, the value of the business (owners’ equity) also reduces. So this transaction decreases assets as well as owners’ equity, resulting in a balanced accounting equation again.
Office furniture purchased for cash
Office furniture is an asset that a business acquires. However, the business spends money—that is, cash (also an asset)—to purchase the furniture. Thus, there is an increase in one asset (furniture), and a decrease in the other (cash). This simultaneous increase and decrease in the assets results in a balanced accounting equation.
Inventory bought on credit
Inventory refers to stock of goods such as raw materials. Therefore, inventory is an asset that the business purchases. However, because the business buys it on credit, the business needs to make the payment in the future. The business is thus adding to its assets, and also incurring a liability (obligation to pay in the future). An increase in assets as well as liabilities leads to a balanced accounting equation again.
