<u>This scenario best illustrates the high exit barriers. As Charmingbellsinc.permanently been running into a loss gradually, but the board of directors is reluctant to shut the company down because it has invested millions of dollars' worth of equipment. It bears a high cost of exit barriers.  </u>

Further Explanation:

Exit barriers:

Exit barriers mean the loss occurred in the case of shutting down the business. When the company invested a huge amount of money in the business. The investment is made in the equipment or infrastructure. If the company faces losses, the management should be taken into consideration. When the loss is higher than the cost of investing, the management should shut down the company. But if the loss is lesser than cost of investing, the management should try to reduce the loss and postpone the decision of shutting down.

Shut down:

Shut down means the permanent closed down of the business. The company is no more, producing the goods or providing any services. The company does this only in case of earning a loss. If the company earns a profit, the company is not going to shut down the business. It is the last option as if a company faces loss, the company tries to earn profit by using different means. The company tries to cut down the cost of the product.  

Therefore, the shutdown is the permanent closed down of the business.

Complete the balance sheet and sales information in the table that follows for J. White
deff fn [24]

Answer:

Sales $600,000

Cost of Goods Sold $450,000

Cash $28,000

Accounts payable $110,000

Accounts receivable $60,000

Inventory $120,000

Common Stock $140,000

Fixed Asset $192,000

Total Liabilities and equity $400,000

Explanation:

1.To compute the missing amount of sales, we must look for the data given that has something to do with sales. And the two data given that will give us the hint are the Asset turnover and the total asset.

ASSET TURNOVER = Net Sales / Total Asset

1.5 = Net Sales * $400,000

Net Sales = 1.5 * $400,000

Net Sales = $600,000

To check if the answer is correct:

$600,000 / $400,000 = 1.5 <em>which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

2. The Sales has been computed above and Gross profit margin on sales is present, these are the hint we needed to compute the Cost of goods sold.

Sales  100%

<u>Less: Gross profit margin on sales 25%</u>

Cost of goods sold ratio on sales 75%

Therefore, $600,000 x 75% (ratio on sales) = $450,000

3.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

It is impossible to compute the cash based on the data given without the accounts receivable. So, let's compute the accounts receivable beforehand.

The additional hint that we have is the Days sales outstanding (based on 365-day year).

  • Days sales outstanding = Accounts receivable / (Annual credit sales / 365 days)
  • 36.5 days = Accounts receivable / ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = 36.5 * ($600,000 / 365)
  • Accounts receivable = $60,000

<em>To check our answer:</em>

<em>$60,000 / ($600,000 / 365)</em>

<em>$60,000 / 1,643.84</em>

<em>36.5 days</em>

<em />

4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE

Next missing item that we will compute is the accounts payable. The hint that we have that is related to the computation of accounts payable is the Liability to asset ratio.

FORMULA :

Liability to asset ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

40% = Total Liabilities / $400,000

Total Liabilities = 40% * $400,000

Total liabilities = $160,000

To Check:

<em>$160,000 / $400,000 = 40% which is equal to the data given</em>

<em>Next Step, Compute accounts payable (the only current liability account in the given partial income statement). Long term debt is the only non-current liability on the data given, which means it is the only account that is included in the total liability of $160,000.</em>

<em />

So, $160,000 less $50,000 = $110,000 (accounts payable)

5. CASH

We can now compute the cash based on the accounts already computed above. The additional hint that we have is the quick ratio. Quick ratio is the quotient of Cash & cash equivalent plus Marketable securities (which is not present in the data given, therefore ignore) plus the accounts receivable over the current liability.

Computation:

0.80 = (Cash + Marketable security + Accounts receivable) / current liability

0.80 = (Cash + Accounts receivable) / $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 0.80 * $110,000

Cash + Accounts receivable = 88,000

Cash + $60,000 = $88,000

Cash = $88,000 - $60,000

Cash = $28,000

6. INVENTORY

To compute the inventory, we need the inventory turn-over hint.

Inventory turn-over = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory

3.75 = $450,000 / Ave inventory

Average inventory = $450,000 / 3.75

Average inventory = $120,000

to check:

<em>$450,000 / $120,000 = 3.75 which is equal to the data given</em>

<em />

7. COMMON STOCK

Total asset = Liabilities + Equity

$400,000 = $160,000 +?

$400,000 - $160,000 = $240,000

Equity is composed of common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, $240,000 - $100,000 (Retained earnings) = $140,000 (common stock)

8. FIXED ASSET

It is the only asset account that is missing after we computed cash, accounts receivable and inventory. Therefore total assets less current assets equals fixed assets.

  • $400,000 - ($28,000 + $60,000 + $120,000)
  • $400,000 - $208,000
  • $192,000 (fixed assets)

9. TOTAL LIABILITIES AND EQUITY

Current liability + Non-current liability + Common stock + Retained earnings

$110,000 + $50,000 + $140,000 + $100,000

$400,000

hammer [34]

Answer:

b) Additional paid-in capital.

Explanation:

Closing process in accounting is a period end activities which involves

the movement or transfer of temporary accounts to permanent accounts.

Temporary accounts are all income statement accounts like sales account, rent account, depreciation expense account, telephone expense account e.t.c.

This exercise is to prepare temporary accounts for the next period.  since temporary accounts are measured as at period end, the transaction of a period must not be allowed to mix with another, hence the need to always close or bring to zero all temporary accounts.

In the question, all are income accounts except additional paid-in capital

The lower of cost or market approach is Blank______ for companies that use Blank______. Multiple choice question. required under
LenaWriter [7]

The lower cost or market approach is (C) required under GAAP for companies that use  LIFO or retail inventory.

<h3>What is market approach?</h3>
  • The market approach is a method of evaluating an asset's worth based on the selling price of comparable assets.
  • Along with the cost technique and discounted cash-flow analysis, it is one of three main valuation methodologies (DCF).
  • Companies that use LIFO or retail inventory are obligated by GAAP to use the lower cost or market method.
  • A realtor, for example, can gather information on comparable real estate sales in close vicinity to a client's property and modify those values to account for differences in land area and building square footage to arrive at a market-based valuation for the targeted property.

Therefore, the lower cost or market approach is (C) required under GAAP for companies that use  LIFO or retail inventory.

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

d. beta did a better job of explaining the returns than standard deviation

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk associated with the particular investment, it do not compute the total risk associated, which is more  logical.

Standard deviation computes the total risk associated.

Some risk is natural, like the risk of floods, natural calamities, earthquake, etc:

That risk shall not counted as for comparison as that is associated universally. Further, the risk associated with particular factors like bankruptcy of a company, or some legal case issue of a company are precisely described by beta coefficient.

Thus, beta provides better details about explaining the returns.
