Answer:

This is an example of improving <em>efficiency </em>to gain competitive advantage.

Explanation:

Efficiency is one of the 2 signs (the other is <em>effectiveness</em>) for managers which determines how efficient the company is operating or are they doing things right?

Since the managers at Trevor's company are trying to produce max output with the same workers by restructuring the whole production process this implies that:

  1. They don't want to incur high cost by employing further employees but trying to manage the scenario with what they have.
  2. They are aiming to be faster than other companies.  

This will in result help them in getting the <em>competitive advantage</em> (Operating at higher level in one or more functions relative to other companies).

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The Beacon​ Roofing's book balance should be adjusted by a total​ of $43,977

Explanation:

For computing the right amount of book balance, the following adjustments are required which is shown below:

1. Bank Balance = $43,267

2. Less - Bank service charge = - $80

3. Add: Notes collection = $790

So, the adjusted book balance equals to

= Bank balance - Bank service charge + notes collection

= $43,267 - $80 + $790

= $43,977

The notes collection is an income so it is added whereas the bank service charge is an expense so it would be deducted.

Hence, the Beacon​ Roofing's book balance should be adjusted by a total​ of $43,977

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Indicates how many times the receivables were converted into cash during the year.

Explanation:

Accounts receivables turnover ratio or Debtor Turnover Ratio(DTR) depicts the number of times a business's receivables are converted into cash within a period.

The ratio is computed as follows:

\frac{Net\ Credit\ Sales}{Average\ Accounts\ Receivables}

wherein, Average Accounts Receivables = \frac{Op.\ debtor\ balance\ +\ Cl.\ debtor\ balance}{2}

wherein, Op. = Opening

               Cl. = Closing

The ratio depicts how often a firm receives the money due from it's debtors during a period and represents how frequently debtors make payments, represented by average collection period which is computed as follows:

= \frac{365\ days}{DTR}

Elza [17]

That is whythe long run firm is not able to make economic profits since as they exist, new competitors will enter the market. But in the case of the shoert run, the firms are able to make economic profit, but by doing so, they cannot maximize their accounting profit.

Economic profit = account profit = Opportunity profit

Opportunity cost are extra costs or benefitslost from choosing one activity or investment over another one.
