It is quite clear that Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Louis XIV’s chief accountant, was instrumental in bringing back the financial glor

y of France after the Fronde (1648 - 1653). Colbert had instituted a clear and complete accounting structure for Louis that provided Louis with the financial information he needed to run his kingdom - including pocket size account books. Upon Colbert’s sudden death in 1683, however, Louis chose not to replace Colbert or continue this formal accounting function. Why was this the case and what were the implications for Louis and for France?

The correct answer to this question is the following.

Upon Colbert’s sudden death in 1683, however, Louis chose not to replace Colbert or continue this formal accounting function. The implications for Louis and France were bad.

As the meticulous accountant he was, Colbert established a stern control over the French finances, helping the country to stabilize the economy and the monarchy's finances. Emperor Louis XIV was an extravagant man who liked to spend the money of the kingdom. Well, Colbert managed it to establish control of the expenditure and had surpluses. Of course, this was not accepted by many people, including the king. So when Colbert died, "everything returned to normal," which means that the king started to spend money as he used to and the consequences were that France came back to those economic problems and the inequity that had characterized Louis XIV kingdom.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

$7,700 increase

Explanation:

We can determine the change in Wolverine's cash balance by deducting the cash disbursement and operating expenses from the cash receipts.\

Change in cash balance = Cash receipts - Cash disbursement - Operating expense

Change in cash balance = $48,000 - $33,800 -$6,500

Change in cash balance = $7,700

WORKING:

<u>Cash Receipts</u>

Sales

February ( 59,000 x 45%)            $26,550

January ( 39,000 x 55%)              $21,450  

Total                                               $48,000

<u>Cash disbursement</u>

Purchases

February ( 44,000 x 15%)            $6,600

January ( 32,000 x 85%)             $27,200  

Total                                              $33,800

<u>Operating expenses </u>

Ramirez Company installs a computerized manufacturing machine in its factory at the beginning of the year at a cost of $81,400.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$7,326

Explanation:

Double Decline Balance = 2 x SLDP x SLDBV

where,

SLDP = Straight Line Depreciation Percentage

          = 100 ÷ useful life

          = 100 ÷ 20

          = 5 %

and

SLDBV = Straight Line Percentage Book Value

Year 1

Double Decline Balance = 2 x 5% x $81,400

                                           = $8,140

Year 2

Double Decline Balance = 2 x 5% x ($81,400 - $8,140)

                                           = $7,326

Therefore

The machine's second-year depreciation using the double-declining balance method is $7,326.

Contact [7]

Answer:

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones.

<u>The $65 per phone is a sunk cost. It will remain on both decisions, therefore, we will not take into account to make the decision.</u>

Sell as it is:

Income= 33*1,000= $33,000

Rework:

Costs= 88*1,000= $88,000

Sales= 144*1,000= $144,000

Total gain= $56,000

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.
