grandymaker [24]

Answer:

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of units= 12,600

Varto has two alternatives for these items:

(1) they can be sold to a wholesaler for $13 each

(2) they can be processed further for $272,300 and then sold for $34 each.

The first cost of $31 is a sunk cost, it will remain no matter which option is chosen. We will not take it into account for the decision making process.

Option 1:

Effect on income= 12,600*13= $163,800

Option 2:

Effect on income= 12,600*34 - 272,300= $156,100

It is more profitable to sell the units as-is.

On January 1, Kirk Corporation had total assets of $864,000. During the month, the following activities occurred: Kirk Corporati
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

The amount of total assets of Kirk Corporation at the end of the month is $ 871,400

Explanation:

Total assets at January 1 = $864,000

Equipment purchased = $ 7,400

Supplies purchased = $ 3,640

Cash paid for supplies = $ 3,640

Cost of land sold = $16,400

Cash received from Land sold = $16,400

Therefore total amount of cash out = $ 16,400 + $3,640 = $ $20,040

Total amount of cash in =  $ 7,400 + $ 3,640 + $16,400 = $27,440

Amount of total assets at the end of the month = $864,000 + $27,440 - $20,040 = $ 871,400

Sunny Co has a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.00, compared to the industry average of 0.80. Its competitor Carter Co., however, has a
ankoles [38]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Debt-to-equity ratio is an economical term that is used to express the balance between a companies total debt and its assets. It shows at what ratio the company's assets are funded by investors, stakeholders etc.

Since the industry average debt-to-equity ratio is 0.80 and the two companies have debt-to-equity ratios of 1.00 and 1.50 respectively, they are both over the average.

But with the higher ratio, Carter Co. has a higher financial risk compared to Sunny Co. and the industry average debt-to-equity ratio. So the correct answer is C.

I hope this answer helps.
