Answer:

(A) The nine-month statement should first be annualized.

Explanation:

In accounting when preparing financial statements there is a standard period of financial statements that should be adhered to. The financial statements should be of the same duration. So comparing a nine month financial statement to a twelve month financial statement is against standard accounting practices.

Moreover it will not give a clear picture when comparism is done this way. For example if two companies both have income of about $1,000,000 and financial statements of nine and twelve months are compared. The company with nine months financial statement will show lower income than the one with twelve month statement, and this is not the reality.

So the nine month statement should be annualised to ease comparability.

mote1985 [20]
<span>The best explanation for Khalil's improved performance when he was taking the herbal medicine is the Placebo Effect. Sugar and basil leaves in the amount that a medicine dose contains would not have any significant effect on Khalil's performance, but the placebo effect can cause someone to see improvements from a placebo (a treatment with no active effect) simply because they expect to see improvements. Since Khalil expected improvements from taking the medicine, he might have perceived improvements from the placebo effect even though the medicine had no real effect.</span>

Endor Company begins the year with $110,000 of goods in inventory. At year-end, the amount in inventory has increased to $118,00
Arada [10]

Answer:

11.40

32 days

Explanation:

Inventory turnover and days of sales of inventory are examples of activity ratios.

They are used to measure the efficiency of performing daily tasks

inventory turnover =  Cost of goods sold/ average inventory

Average inventory = ($118,000 + $110,000) / 2 = $114,000

Inventory turnover =  $1,300,000 / $114,000 = 11.40

days of sales of inventory = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 11.40 = 32 days
