Answer: D. it must be able to charge different access fees.
Explanation:
Two part pricing refers to the charging of two prices for access to a service which are a fixed price(lumpsum) and a variable price for every unit used.
If one wants to capture all consumer pricing with this strategy and customers are different, the company simply needs to be able to charge different access fees.
This way they'll be able to charge the different customers different prices based on their willingness to pay such that they will capture all consumer surplus.
Strauch Co. has one class of common stock outstanding and no other securities that are potentially convertible into common stock. During 2024, 100,000 shares of common stock were outstanding. In 2025, two distributions of additional common shares occurred: On April 1, 20,000 shares of treasury stock were sold, and on July 1, a 2-for-1 stock split was issued. Net income was $410,000 in 2025 and $350,000 in 2024. What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2025 and 2024 comparative income statements issued early in 2026?

B. $1.78 $3.50
C. $1.78 $1.75
D. $2.34 $1.75
Answer:
C. $1.78 $1.75
Explanation:
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2025 and 2024 comparative income statements issued early in 2026
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2025
First step is to calculate the Weighted average shares for year 2025
Weighted average shares 2025 = [100,000 + 20,000(9/12)]÷2
Weighted average shares 2025=(100,000+15,000)*2
Weighted average shares 2025=115,000*2
Weighted average shares 2025= 230,000
Now let calculate the Earnings per share for year 2025
2025 Earnings per share for year= $410,000/230,000
2025 Earnings per share for year= $1.78
Therefore the 2025 Earnings per share for year will be $1.78
Calculation for What amounts should Strauch report as earnings per share in its 2024
First step is to calculate the Weighted average shares for year 2024
Weighted average shares 2024= 100,000(2)
Weighted average shares 2024= 200,000
Now let calculate the Earnings per share for year 2024
2024 Earnings per share = $350,000/200,000 2024 Earnings per share= $1.75
Therefore the Earnings per share for year 2024 will be $1.75
Assume that an economy produces only two goods, pizza and wings, and that it is producing on its production possibilities frontier (PPF). If the economy can only produce two goods, which of the following ways would allow the economy to produce even more pizza?
a. growth in labor force.
b. improved wing making technology.
c. improved pizza-making technology.
d. some workers move to a country that produces only pizza.
e. more efficient use of existing production assets.
Answer:
Growth in labor force
Improved pizza-making technology
Explanation:
Production possibilities frontier (PPF) is the various ways or possible ways (combination) whereby two goods that can be produced in a certain period of time under the conditions of a given state of technology and well equipped resources. Productive efficiency of a goods is the condition where the maximum output is produced with the already laid down resources and technology available. It is said to be a curve that depicts the maximum quantity of one good that can be produced for each maximum number or quantity of another good produced.
Sally and Tom are about to get a mortgage for their first home. If they want to make the same monthly payments for the life
of the loan, they should get an ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgage).
True or False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
An Adjustable Rate Mortgage is the opposite: it is a type of mortgage that has payments that vary throughout the period of loan. They vary according to some index, variable rate, or agreement between the loaner and the borrower.
Sally and Tom should seek a Fixed Rate Mortgage instead. That is a type of mortgage whose payments do not vary across the life of the loan. In other words, a Fixed Rate Mortgage is an annuity.
Assume that you have graduated and have gotten a good job. You are conscientious and want to begin a savings account. You are paid monthly and have authorized your bank to automatically withdraw $300 from each paycheck. The bank made the first withdrawal on August 1, 2007 and you instruct them to make the last withdrawal on July 1, 2037. The withdrawals are invested at a nominal interest rate of 10% and compounded monthly. What will be the balance of the account on July 1, 2037
Answer:
The balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.
Explanation:
Since the withdrawals are made the beginning of each month, the relevant formula to use is the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Due is employed as follows:
FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) * (1 + r) ................................. (1)
Where,
FV = Future value or the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 =?
M = Monthly withdrawal = $300
r = Monthly interest rate = nominal interest rate / 12 = 10% / 12 = 0.10 / 12 = 0.00833333333333333
n = Number of months from August 1, 2007 to July 1, 2037 = 359
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
FV = $300 * (((1 + 0.00833333333333333)^359 - 1) / 0.00833333333333333) * (1 + 0.00833333333333333)
FV = $300 * 2,240.81447087212 * 1.00833333333333333
FV = $677,846.38
Therefore, the balance of the account on July 1, 2037 will be $677,846.38.

Explanation:
Mackenzie wants to purchase a new sofa for $900. Her brother tells her that if she can come up with 75% of the purchase price, he will lend her the rest of the amount. If Mackenzie produces the required amount, what will be the amount of the loan she receives from her brother?
Answer:
$225
Explanation:
The cost of the new sofa is $900.
Mackenzie need to raise 75% of the cost price.
Her brother will lend her the balance, which is equivalent to 75% of the cost price.
Mackenzie needs to raise
= 75% of 900
=75/100 x 900
=$675
Her brother will lend her
= $900 - $675
=$225

Alicia owns a small pottery factory. She can make 1000 pots per year and sell them for $100 each. It costs Alicia $20,000 for the raw materials to produce the 1000 pots. She has invested $100,000 in her factory and equipment: $50,000 from her savings and $50,000 borrowed at 10%. Alicia can work at a competing pottery factory for $40,000/year. What is the accounting profit at Alicia's factory?
Answer:
$-20,000
Explanation:
Accounting profit = total revenue - total explicit cost
Total revenue = price x quantity produced
$100 x 1000 = $100,000
Total explicit cost = fixed cost + variable cost
Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with output. e,g amount invested in the factory
Variable costs are costs that vary with production. e.g. cost of raw materials
$100,000 + $20,000 = $120,000
Accounting profit = $100,000 - $120,000 = $-20,000
On January 1, 2021, Essence Communications issued $800,000 of its 10-year, 8% bonds for $700,302. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

in 2001 an outbreak of hoof-and-mouth disease in europe led to the burning of millions of cattle carcasses. discuss the demand and supply implication caused by the outbreak, for an in-depth analysis of the discussion topic you may use all of the resources available to you. what impact would you expect on the supply of cattle hides, hide prices, the supply of leather goods, and the price of leather goods
Answer:
High demand
Low supply
High prices
Explanation:
The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000
Bonds sales value = $1,855,816
Total discount = $144,184
Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)
Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)
Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)
Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80
b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.
Interest expenseFrom the information given, the following can be calculated:
Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184
Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80
Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000
Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

Elliot, Inc., uses the high-low method to analyze cost behavior. The company observed that at 20,000 machine hours of activity, total maintenance costs averaged $10.50 per hour. When activity jumped to 24,000 machine hours, which was still within the relevant range, the average total cost per machine hour was $9.75. On the basis of this information, the company's fixed maintenance costs were:
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
At the activity level of 20,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=20,000* $10.50=$210,000
At the activity level of 24,000 machine hours:
total maintenance costs=24,000*$9.75=$234,000
variable maintenance cost per hour=(total maintenance costs at higher activity level-total maintenance costs at lower activity level)/(higher activity level-lower activity level)
variable maintenance cost per hour=($234,000-$210,000)/(24000-20000)
variable maintenance cost per unit=$6
Using the higher activity level data:
total cost=fixed cost+(variable maintenance cost per unit*number of hours)
$234,000=fixed cost+($6*24000)
234,000=fixed cost+$144,000
fixed cost=$234,000-$144,000
fixed cost=$90,000

Lucas Diving Supplies Company, in its first year of business, had labor costs of $57,000, overhead costs of $88,000, materials purchases of $25,000, and ending Materials and Work-in-Process Inventories of $3,000 and $5,000, respectively. What is the amount of cost of goods manufactured in the first year of operations
Answer:
$162,000
Explanation:
The amount of cost of goods manufactured is computed as
= Labor cost + Direct materials purchased + overhead costs - ending balance of materials - ending balance of work in process
= $57,000 + $25,000 + $88,000 - $3,000 - $5,000
= $162,000
Hence, the cost of goods manufactured is $162,000

how to journalize this?
When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:
The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.
The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.
The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.
For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:
plz follow me
one thanks give me motivation for answering
plz mark me brainliest
Answer:
All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.
Explanation:
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

Uncle Fred recently died and left $280,000 to his 45-year-old favorite niece. She immediately spent $80,000 on a town home but decided to invest the balance for her retirement at age 65. What rate of return must she earn on her investment over the next 20 years to permit her to withdraw $75,000 at the end of each year through age 80 if her funds earn 10 percent annually during retirement
Answer:
6.06%
Explanation:
The computation of the rate of return is shown below:
Given that
NPER = 20 years
PV = ($280,000 - $80,000) = $200,000
PMT = $0
FV = $75,000 × PVIFA factor at 10% for 21 years
= $75,000 × 8.6487
= $648,652.50
The following formula should be applied
= RATE(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;TYPE)
The present value comes in negative
After applying the above formula, the rate of return is 6.06%
Searls Corporation, a merchandising company, reported the following results for July: Number of units sold 2,700 units Selling price per unit $664 per unit Unit cost of goods sold $405 per unit Variable selling expense per unit $48 per unit Total fixed selling expense $56,500 Variable administrative expense per unit $13 per unit Total fixed administrative expense $118,200 Cost of goods sold is a variable cost in this company. The contribution margin for July is: Group of answer choices $534,600 $699,300 $359,900 $1,453,400
Answer:
$534,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Costs
where :
Sales = 2,700 units x $664 = $1,792,800
Variable Costs = Costs of Goods Sold + Variable Selling Costs + Variable Administrative Cots
= 2,700 units x $405 + 2,700 units x $48 + 2,700 units x $13
= $1,258,200
therefore,
Contribution margin = $1,792,800 - $1,258,200 = $534,600

The CFO of Stephenson Company has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and report to him by week's end.
What should be the amount of direct materials used?
a. $208,400
b. $405,500
c. $440,800
d. $201,500
Answer:
Direct material used= $183,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct Materials Purchased 171,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Beginning 18,000
Direct Materials Inventory, Ending 6,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 18,000 + 171,000 - 6,000
Direct material used= $183,000
Prove:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
cost of goods manufactured= 30,000 + 183,000 + 55,000 + 112,000 - 40,000
cost of goods manufactured= $340,000

The amount of denim used daily by the Southwest Apparel Company in its manufacturing process to make jeans is normally distributed with an average of 4000 yards of denim and a standard deviation of 600 yards. The lead time required to receive an order of denim from the textile mill is a constant 7 days. Determine the: a. safety stock b. reorder point if the company wants to limit the probability of a stockout and work stoppage to 5% and c. what level of service would a safety stock of 2000 yards provide?
Answer:
a) safety stock is 2611 yards
b) Reorder point is 30611 yards
c) Z = 0.8962 or 89.62%
Explanation:
Given that;
jeans is normally distributed with an average of 4000 yards.
standard deviation is 600 yards
the company wants to limit the probability of a stock out and work stoppage to 5%
so ∝ = 1 - 5% = ( 1 - 5/100) = 0.95
from table; z value = 1.645
lead time = 7 days
now;
a) safety stock
safety stock is determined using the following;
⇒ Z-score × standard × √lead time
so we substitute
safety stock = 1.645 × 600 × √7
= 2611.3565 ≈ 2611 yards
b) reorder point
reorder point is determined using the following;
⇒ demand × lead time + safety stock
we substitute
reorder point = (4000 × 7) + 2611
reorder point = 30611 yards
c) level of service would a safety stock of 2000 yards provide
safety stock = Z√lead time × standard deviation
we substitute
2000 = Z × √7 × 600
Z = 2000 / ( 600 × √7 )
Z = 1.25988 ≈ 1.26
FROM table; Z = 0.8962 or 89.62%

Answer:
1. The correct category for each of the following items:
Cash In/Income:
Personal income
Business Income
Cash Out/Expense:
Cost of business trip = variable
State tax liability = fixed
Clothing purchases = variable
2. For example, your mortgage would be considered a fixed expense, because the total amount does not vary. Conversely, grocery bills would be considered variable, because the actual amount is not fixed but varies.
Explanation:
Variable cost or expense has a fixed cost per unit, with the total amount varying, depending on the units or quantities consumed. Fixed cost does have a fixed total amount within the relevant range, but the cost per unit varies.
Lisa Hajak, CFA, specialized in research on real estate companies at Cornerstone Country Bank for the past twenty years. Hajak recently started her own investment research firm, Hajak Investment Advisory. One of her former clients at Cornerstone asks Hajak to update a research report she wrote on a real estate company when she was at Cornerstone. Hajak updates the report, which she had copied to her personal computer without the bank’s knowledge, and replaces references to the bank with her new firm, Hajak Investment Advisory. Hajak also incorporates the conclusions of a real estate study conducted by the Realtors Association that appeared in the Wall Street Journal. She references the Journal as her source in her report. She provides the revised report free of charge along with a cover letter for the bank’s client to become a client of her firm. Concerning the reissued research report, Hajak least likely violated the CFA Institute Standards of Professional Conduct because she: solicited the bank’s client. did not obtain consent to use the bank report. did not cite the actual source of the real estate study.
Answer:
solicited the bank’s client.
Explanation:
In order for Lisa to have committed solicitation and violated Standard VI(a), she must have actively searched for the bank's former client. The text states that a former client of the bank hired her, but it gives no indication that Lisa went after him. Also, Lisa is no longer working for the bank, if any of the bank's clients looks for her, she isn't doing anything wrong.
