Answer:

A positive balance of trade

Explanation:

The theory of mercantilism states that a country’s power depends mainly on its wealth. During the Age of Exploration, this meant that the prosperity of a nation should depend on a large supply of bullion (silver and gold) and a positive balance of trade. A positive balance of trade implies that exports should exceed imports. There were tariffs on imports. This discouraged importation.

Mercantilism was commonly practised in Europe within the 16th to 18th century.

Assuming an acid-test ratio of 1.0, how will the purchase of inventory with cash affect the ratio?

docker41 [41]

Answer:

C) Decrease the acid-test ratio

Explanation:

The quick ratio is also called acid test ratio. It is a liquidity ratio that measures level of liquid assets of a business.

That is the amount of cash or near cash assets it has to settle it's current debt.

Mathematically

Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities

If cash (current asset) is used to buy Inventory. Cash will reduce and inventory will increase.

The value of (Current asset - Inventory) reduces.

As the numerator in the ratio reduces, the quick ratio also reduces.

g Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Total equivalent unit of material = 140,000 units

Explanation:

Equivalent units are used to apportion cost between completed units and work in progress. They represent notional whole units which represent incomplete work.

Under the first in first method , to account for completed units during a production period the opening inventory units are assumed to completed first before newly the newly introduced units.

So we can work out the equivalents units as follows:

Fully worked units :These represent units started this period of production and completed in the same period. This is given as 110,000 units

Equivalent units (EU)

Item unit Workings EU

Opening inventory 25,000 0% × 25,000 = 0

Fully worked 110,000 100% × 110,000 = 110,000

Closing inventory 30,000 100%× 30,000 = 30,000

Total equivalent unit of material 140,000

Note that for the opening inventory already 100% material work has been done the preceding period , so there wont be any work left to be done in respect of materials.
