Ribb Corporation produces and sells a single product. Data concerning that product appear below: Per Unit Percent of Sales Selling Price $190 100% Variable Expenses 57 30% Contribution Margin $133 70% Fixed expenses are $913,000 per month. The company is currently selling 9,000 units per month. Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $6. Since the new component would increase the features of the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 400 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Particulars  Old method  New method

Sales                 $1,710,000       $1,786,000

                      (9,000 units × $190)    (9,400 units × $190)

Less:

Variable expenses  $513,000           $592,200

                       (9,000 units × $57)    (9,400 units × $63)

Contribution margin $1,197,000       $1,193,800

Less:

Fixed expenses   ($913,000)         ($913,000)

operating income   $284,000          $280,800

Decrease in income     $3,200  

We simply take an difference of operating income under both methods that reflects the decrease in operating income

Answers

Answer:

Decreases the Accounts Payable account and decreases the Checking account

Explanation:

In the case when the bill is paid in quick books by using the window of pay bills so the liabilities would be reduced also the liquid asset would be decreased

Since the liabilities is reduced i.e. account payable so automatically the checking account would also be reduced

hence, the last option is correct

The same is to be considered

Answer:

You would decrease the accounts payable (paying the bill relieves part of the balance in this account) and decreases the cash account (when you pay the bill, you use or reduce the cash)

Atlantis Corporation has 13,000 shares of 14​%, $81.00 par noncumulative preferred stock outstanding and 30,000 shares of no−par common stock outstanding. At the end of the current​ year, the corporation declares a dividend of $186,000. How is the dividend allocated between preferred and common​ stockholders?

Answers

Answer:

The dividend of $147,420 is allocated to preferred stockholders

A dividend of $38,580 is allocated common stockholders

Explanation:

The preferred stock has a fixed amount of dividend which is a percentage of its  par value computed thus:

preferred dividend=13,000*$81*14%=$ 147,420.00  

However, when preferred stock dividend is taken away from the total dividends, the result is dividends for common stockholders

Common stockholders' dividends=$186,000-$147,420=$38,580.00  

SCENARIO:Marcus, feeling stressed out from work, decided to search for a meditation app for his phone that would help him relax during the day. One app, CalmDown, appeared to be promising. It didn't have any reviews yet and looked to be a brand-new app, so he decided to try it out. He downloaded the app to his phone and opened it up. The first screen required he enter in his name and email address. At the very bottom of the screen it had some small writing, but Marcus didn't notice it and hit the continue button.
Had Marcus clicked on the link at the bottom of the screen, he would have seen the following:
The second screen stated "Three-day trial version- Free! $59.99 annual fee thereafter." Marcus was annoyed that the app would cost him almost $60 but figured he would set a reminder on his phone to cancel the app before the trial period expired so he wouldn't get charged. Plus, he wanted to see the app in action. If it was actually worth the price, he wouldn't mind paying the annual fee. He clicked "Continue" and put in his bank card information on the next screen. The following screen asked Marcus a series of questions about his stress level and what he felt caused stress in his life. He clicked "high" and "work" as the level and cause. He then completed the first CalmDown meditation in the app, but was not impressed with its functionality. Deciding he would cancel his subscription immediately, he went into the profile settings to try to find the cancel option but couldn't. He searched every possible place on the app but didn't see a way to cancel the subscription. Marcus decided to try to find the app's developer through their website, but a quick search didn't turn up anything. Already stressed and becoming more frustrated, Marcus decided to contact the app store. They informed him that he should be able to go into his app store account and cancel the subscription there. However, when Marcus went there, he didn't see the app as an option or as a subscription. Thinking that maybe his subscription didn't process, he just deleted the app from his phone.
Marcus didn't give the app or the subscription any more thought, becoming increasingly more distracted by the amount of stress at work. Four months later, Marcus was looking at his bank account online and noticed it was lower than it should have been. He began reviewing the charges and noticed multiple charges for $59.99 to a merchant named "CDgotU." He immediately remembered the app and contacted his bank to dispute the charges. His bank replied that due to the charges being debit withdraws he needed to dispute them within 2 days of being made. Moreover, if he had been diligent about watching his account, they could have put a block on the account and the remaining fraudulent charges would have been prevented. The bank representative also told him that he should try to get a refund from the company that charged him. After making his case with the bank representative for several hours about how he tried to cancel his subscription, he was unsuccessful. The bank's representative was able to provide Marcus a phone number attached to the Merchant account, but when Marcus called the number it was disconnected. The bank could not provide him with any additional information such as a company address or website.
After more internet searching, Marcus saw a number of other complaints online about the app, and noticed it had been removed from the app store and was no longer available for download. Marcus decided to bring an action against the company for fraud, breach of contract, conversion, and several other claims in his home state of Vermont.

Can Marcus compel the bank or the app store to provide additional information about the creator of CalmDown in order to determine the creator's location and potential assets?
a. No, these records are not subject to being subpoenaed due to their confidential nature.
b. Yes, he can subpoena records during the discovery process from both, but the bank and the app store may ask the judge to deny the request or limit the request due to privacy concerns.
c. Yes, but he must subpoena these records prior to the filing of the complaint.
d. Yes, he can file interrogatories during the discovery process to both the bank and the app store.

Answers

Answer: b. Yes, he can subpoena records during the discovery process from both, but the bank and the app store may ask the judge to deny the request or limit the request due to privacy concerns.

Explanation:

Marcus can indeed compel the bank or the app store to provide additional information about the creator of the app should he wish to find out the creator's location and its potential assets so he can purse the case appropriately legal wise.

He can do this by subpoenaing the required information when laying the background for the suit. As this information is considered private and confidential however, both the bank and the store could appeal to the Judge to refuse Marcus's request on the grounds of privacy concerns.
