Explain why a $50,000 increase in inventory during the year must be included in computing cash flows from operating activities under both the direct and indirect methods. The $50,000 increase in inventory must be used in the statement of cash flow calculations because it increases the outflow of cash (all else equal).

An increase in the company's inventory indicates that the company has purchased more goods than it has sold. It means an additional cash outflow as cash must be used to purchase additional consumables. Cash outflows have a negative or unfavorable impact on a company's cash position.

Therefore, as inventories increase, the company will have to spend money to buy them (cash outflow). On the other hand, the decrease in inventory will be cash in for the amount sold. We arrive at the following rule: Inventory Increase => Cash Outflow (Negative)

An indirect way to create a cash flow statement is the change in the amount of cash due to operating activities in the account on the balance sheet. and adjust the net profit for the year.

Rank the following types of businesses in order of risk to you, with the highest being number 1: partnership, limited partnershi
kompoz [17]

Answer:

  1. Sole Proprietorship
  2. Partnership
  3. Limited Partnership
  4. Limited Liability Company      

Explanation:

Sole Proprietorship is the type of business in which the liability is not limited. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

Partnership is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

Limited Partnership is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable to for compensation if their is still any amount left.

In the case of Limited liability company, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

The cost analysis is calculated as follows;

                         Retain                Replace                 Net Income

                                     Equipment        Equipment         Increase (Decrease)

Operating expenses     $146,400                0                      $146,400

($24,400*6)  

Repair costs            $39,000                 0                    $39,000

Rental revenue                      0                 -$60000              $60,000

Sale of old machine   0               -$24,500              $24,500

Total cost                  $185,400   $82,000               $103,400

From the calculation above, the equipment should be replaced as it incur a lesser cost compare to when it is retained.

You have found an asset with an arithmetic average return of 14.60 percent and a geometric average return of 10.64 percent. Your
Ksju [112]

Answer:

return of the asset =  13.94%

return of the asset =  13.11%

return of the asset = 11.46 %

Explanation:

given data

average return = 14.60 percent

geometric average return = 10.64 percent

observation period = 25 years

solution

we get here return of the asset over year  by Blume formula that is

return of the asset = ( T- 1 ) ÷ ( N - 1)  × geometric average + ( N -T)  ÷ ( N - 1)  × arithmetic average   ..................1

here N is observation period and T is time

put value in equation 1

return of the asset = \frac{5-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-5}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.1394 = 13.94%

and

return of the assets = \frac{10-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-10}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.13115 = 13.11%

and

return of the assets = \frac{20-1}{25-1} *0.1064 + \frac{25-20}{25-1} * 0.1460

return of the asset = 0.11465 = 11.46 %
