Andrews [41]3 years ago

Estimating is the process of evaluating a job to see how much it will cost to do. This is very important, because the company first has to evaluate the costs, then factor in how much profit margin they need to make. That total number is the amount they will bid for the project, and their bid has to compete with all the other construction companies who want the job.

If the price is too high, their bid might not get picked. If it is too low, they may get picked and not have enough money to finish the job. It is very important to get the first step of estimating correct.

During May 2020, a company spend $14,000 on ordinary maintenance of its delivery trucks. These maintenance costs should have bee
dalvyx [7]

Answer: A. Total Assets are overstated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is overstated

Explanation:

Capitalizing the costs of the maintenance means that the $14,000 was taken to the Machinery Account which is an asset when in fact it should have been taken to the Maintenance Expense account which is an expense. This will increase the Asset account for May by $14,000 when it should not have meaning that the Asset account is now Overstated.

Net Income is acquired by deducting expenses from Sales/Revenue. The $14,000 which should never have been recorded as an Asset but instead as an expense, will mean that this Expense will not be deducted from the Net Income because it is being recognized as an Asset. This will mean that the Net Income for May will be Overstated by $14,000 which was supposed to be removed from it.

Tony goes to the freezer and takes out a new type of frozen microwavable pizza that he bought recently. Instead of just taking t
Snezhnost [94]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what type of function the new pizza box is performing.

<h3>Answer: Facilitate use</h3>

The reason why "Facilitate use" is the correct answer is because this is what the pizza box is performing to Tony.

Facilitate means to make something easier, and this is what the pizza box is doing to Tony; making the pizza easier to handle.

Things that made Tony's experience easier:

  • Pizza box can make a handle
  • Used a serrated metal edge from the pizza box to cut the pizza

With the things that the box does above, it made Tony's experience with the pizza a lot more easier.

The pizza box allowed Tony to have a handle to carry around the pizza so he doesn't burn himself while in the process. The pizza box also allowed Tony to easily get a hold of a sharp object to cut the pizza in slices, so he doesn't have to waste any time to go get a knife in his kitchen, and having to wash it afterwards.

After Tony is done with the pizza, he could just throw the box away with know trash or washing to do, simple as that. This pizza box allowed Tony to have an easier experience.
