Answer: The optimal capital structure maximizes the firm’s stock price.

Explanation:

The Capital Structure of a company refers to the proportion of debt vs equity that it chooses to use to fund its Assets and operations.

The goal of management is to use the capital structure to fund the company in such a way that the market value of a company increases.

The Market value is reflected by the firm's stock price so the optimal capital structure is meant to maximize the firm’s stock price.

joja [24]

Answer:

1. $513,000

2. $913,200

3. $926,400

4. $154,420

5.11340 Units

Explanation:

1. Calculation for Lone Oak’s manufacturing overhead for the year.

Manufacturing overhead

Indirect labor 109,000

Building depreciation (80000*75%) 60,000

Other factory cost 344,000

Manufacturing overhead $513,000

2. Calculation for Lone Oak’s cost of goods manufactured.

First step is to calculate the Direct material used

Direct material used = 15,800+175000-18200

Direct material used= 172,600

Second step is to calculate the Total manufacturing cost

Total manufacturing cost = 172,600+254,000+513,000

Total manufacturing cost= 939,600

Now let calculate the Cost of goods manufactured

Cost of goods manufactured = 35,700+939,600-62100

Cost of goods manufactured = $913,200

3. Compution for the company’s cost of goods sold.

Cost of goods sold = 111100+913,200-97900

Cost of goods sold = $926,400

4. Calculation to Determine net income for 20x1, assuming a 30% income tax rate.

Net income :

Sales 1495000

Cost of goods sold -926,400

Gross profit 568,609

Selling and administrative expense (133000+20000+195000) 348000

Profit 220,600

Tax 30% 66,180

Net income $154,420

(220,600-66,180)

(25%*80,000=20,000)

5. Calculation to Determine the number of completed units manufactured during theyear.

No of unit completed = 1190+(1,495,000/$130 per unit)-1350

No of unit completed =1190+11500-1350

No of unit completed = 11340 Units

Roman55 [17]

False, since both roles are in the capacity of research and does not compromise results. So there is no conflict of interest in research.

Conflicts of interest are situations in which professional judgments or actions regarding a primary concern, such as a medical researcher's responsibilities, may be easily persuaded by a secondary interest, such as monetary benefit or professional advancement.

Many doctors work full-time for biotech and pharmaceutical companies, as well as medical device manufacturers. They work in research, product development, or administration. In fact, a few of them own the businesses. This is not conflict of interest.

omeli [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is inertia.

Explanation:

Inertia is called in physics the resistance that bodies oppose to modify their state of motion or stillness, either to alter their speed, their course or to stop; although the term also applies to the modifications of your physical state.

A body, thus, requires a force that overcomes inertia to alter its trajectory, which would otherwise adhere to the laws of uniform rectilinear motion, or to initiate a movement, otherwise it would remain at rest. This, of course, considering that there is no rest or rectilinear and uniform movement in the universe, except based on a reference (observation) system. That is why it is preferred to speak of "relative rest."

What did president hoover do to devise strategies for improving the economy?
olga nikolaevna [1]

The above answer is definitely correct in its details.  I'd just like to emphasize a couple of important ideas about Hoover's response.

<span>He tried to do more to fix the economy than any president had ever done before.  The government had been very hands-off up to that point.He believed the government should not go in debt no matter what.  This limited what he was willing to do.  Please note that economists back then agreed with this idea so it's not like Hoover was just being mean.  In fact, FDR believed the same thing and it's often said that he undermined the New Deal by trying to balance the budget too soon.</span>

So, overall what I want to point out is that Hoover did more than anyone else, and he did what most economists of the time would have said was the right thing to do.  But it didn't work and so he's seen as one of the worst presidents ever, which seems a bit unfair.
