The correct answer is d: Interest Expense. The expense that is causing lower profitability is the Interest Expense.

The fee incurred by a business for borrowed cash is known as an interest expense. On the income statement, it is listed as a non-operating expense. It stands for the interest due on all borrowings, including bonds, loans, convertible debt, and credit lines. In essence, it is determined by multiplying the interest rate by the debt's outstanding principal. Instead of the amount of interest paid over the reporting period, interest expense on the income statement shows interest accrued during that time. While interest costs are tax deductible for businesses, they may not be in the case of an individual, depending on their jurisdiction and the purpose of the loan.

Since there are typically lags between interest accruing and interest paid, interest expense frequently appears as a line item on a company's balance sheet.

If the federal reserve banks mailed everyone in the United States a new $1000.00 bill, what would happen to prices, output, and
Artemon [7]

If the Fed mailed everyone a $1,000, the effect would be a <u>rise in prices, </u>output, and income.

<h3 /><h3>What happens when money is injected into the economy?</h3>

The Equation of exchange is:

<em>Money supply x Velocity of money = Price level x Quantity of goods and services produced </em>

If the Money supply increases like it will when $1,000 is sent by the Fed to people, the velocity will also rise as people purchase more goods and services.

The Price level and the Quantity produced on the right side of the equation would also have to rise to match the left side. So prices would rise, and so would output.

gThe following data are available for Martin Solutions, Inc. Year 2 Year 1 Sales $1,139,600 $1,192,320 Beginning inventory 80,00
Vaselesa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

For Year 1

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)÷ 2

= ($64,000 + $80,000) ÷ 2

= $72,000

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold  ÷ Average inventory

= $606,000 ÷ 72,000

= 8.4 times

Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 8.4

= 43.5 days

For Year 2

Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) ÷ 2

= ($80,000 + $72,000) ÷ 2

= $76,000

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

= $500,800 ÷ 76,000

= 6.6 times

Days in inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory turnover ratio

= 365 ÷ 6.6

= 55.3 days
