Reference groups are considered a social influence in consumer purchasing. They are often groups that consumers will look to to make purchasing decisions.

Chester currently has $17,624 (000) in cash and management has decided to issue stocks and bonds worth an additional $8,000 (000

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer: a) purchasing $18,000 (000) worth of plant and equipment

Explanation:

Of the 4 options listed, liquidating the new inventory would lead to a cash inflow and so is not going to lead to an emergency loan.

Retiring the oldest bond is something that would probably have been budgeted for so it will be less probable to cause Chester to seek emergency funding.

The activity that poses the greatest threat to Chester in terms of loan solicitation would be the purchase of plant and equipment. This would have less chance of being budgeted for and is a significant amount to leave the company which is even larger than the company's current cash amount. It has a higher chance of causing Chester to seek emergency loan funding.

Explain the difference between managerial contingency and task contingency.scribd

Bad White [126]

Answer: Managerial Contingency leads to preparedness in the case of a disaster, emergency, or system failure while a task contingency is a task that is carried out in the event of failure of another task.

Explanation:

Managerial Contingency leads to preparedness in the case of a disaster, emergency, or system failure. Managerial contingency uses risk assessment and its aim is to identify threats and vulnerabilities and implement countermeasures to avoid an incident or curtail its impact in case it happens. Planning for disaster recovery and operational continuity and are vital components of managerial contingency.

For task contingency, it has to do with a task to be accomplished in the event of another task when the other task cannot be completed successfully. Every task has at most one, specific and unique contingency that is pre-planned. A task contingency then has its own contingency to be done in the event of failure.

Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods

eimsori [14]

This is the full question:

At the beginning of 2016, Air Asia purchased a used airplane at a cost of $40,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,000,000. Air Asia expects the plane to be flow 1,200,000 the first year and 1,400,000 the second year.

1) Compute second-year (2017) depreciation expense using the following methods

a. Straight-line

b. Units-of-production

c. Double-declining-balance

2) Calculate the balance in Accumulated Depreciation at the end of the second year for all three methods:

Answer:

Explanation:

1)a) Straight-line

Depreciable base = Cost of the Asset - Residual Value

= $40,000,000 - $5,000,000

= $35,000,000

Depreciation expense per year = Depreciable base / years of useful life

= $35,000,000 / 8

= $4,375,000

The depreciation expense for the second year is = $4,375,000

b) Units-of-production

Units of Production Rate = Depreciable Base / Units Over Useful Life

= $35,000,000 / 5,000,000 miles

= 7

Depreciation Expense = Units of Production Rate x Actual Units Produced

= 7 x 1,400,000 miles in the second year

= $9,800,000

c. Double-declining-balance

Double-declining balance = 2 x (Asset Cost - Residual Value ) / Useful Life of the Asset

= 2 x ($40,000,000 - $5,000,000) / 8

= $8,750,000

2) a) Straight-line Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the previous answer by two = $4,375,000 x 2

= $8,750,000

2) b) Units-of-production Accumulated depreciation

First we find the depreciation expense for the first year using the same formula as above

= 7 x 1,200,000

= $8,400,000

Finally we simply add up depreciation expense for the two years

= $8,400,000 + $9,800,000

= $18,200,000

2) c) Double-declining-balance Accumulated depreciation

We simply multiply the first result by two = $8,750,000 x 2

= $17,500,000
