Answer:

c.The transactions would lower Lofland's financial strength as measured by its current ratio but raise Smaland's current ratio.

Explanation:

The current ratio compares current assets with current liabilities showing how many dollars of assets are there for a dollar of liabilities. This tells investors about the company ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year.

Current Ratio = Current Asset (CA) / Current Liabilities (CL)

Lofland's NOW = 20 M CA / 10 M CL = 2.00

Lofland's AFTER = 30 M CA / 20 M CL = 1.50

Smaland's NOW = 10 M CA / 20 M CL = 0.50

Smaland's AFTER = 20 M CA / 30 M CL = 0.67

Lofland's current ratio gets lower, so its financial strength as well. Instead, Smaland's current ratio gets higher and It´s financially stronger.

Soriano Company had net sales of $300,000 for the month (after returns and allowances of $1,500 and sales discounts of $3,250).
Yanka [14]

Answer:

Ending Inventory  $ 64,000

Explanation:

To define the final inventory of the company it's necessary to find the cost of good of the period.  

As the company had a 43% of gross profit, it means that for every dollar of sales we have 0,43 dollar of Gross Profit, with this value is possible to know the total cost of the goods sold during the period, that it's the difference between Sales Revenue and Gross Profit.  

Total Sales Revenue had to be the net value after returns and discounts as it's detailed.  

Income Statement  

Sales revenue        $ 300,000  

Cost of goods sold  -$ 171,000  

Gross Profit            $ 129,000 43%

Beginning Inventory  $ 60,000

Purchases                  $ 175,000

Cost of goods sold  -$ 171,000

Ending Inventory    $ 64,000

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The law requires companies that handle cash and cash equivalents such as stocks certificates to bond their employees. A company may choose from the various types of bond insurance in the market. For example, employers may use the fidelity bond to protect against employee theft.
