Answer:
The correct answer is ENRON.
Explanation:
Going back to December 2, 2001, is going back to one of the biggest scandals in economic history. That day, the energy company Enron declared bankruptcy. First global energy distributor, invoiced 100,000 million dollars annually.
Jeffrey Skilling, the mind behind accounting, did his last master move badly. Before the bankruptcy they were seen coming, he resigned his position alleging family reasons and sold the shares he had in the company. Four months later came bankruptcy. Supposedly, he didn't know anything about the critical situation of the company. He did not strain.

Answer:
C) Exports decrease, imports increase
Explanation:
If the US dollar appreciates, the US dollar has now more value per unit of foreign currency than before. For example, suppose that today 1 US dollar buys 0.8 Euro, and tomorrow, Europe is hit by a financial crisis, and the US dollar appreciates, and buys 1.2 Euro. The US dollar has appreciated, has become more expensive, becomes now more euros are needed to buy 1 US dollar.
When the US dollar gains value, domestic goods become more expensive compared to foreign goods, and this promotes imports, and reduces exports.
This is the reason why China keeps a depreciated currency: China is an export economy and the cheap Chinese currency makes exports cheaper, and imports more expensive.
Answer:
The manufacturing overhead applied to work in process is:
D. $79,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 79,000 (219,000 - 140,000)
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
b) The manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process is the difference between the total manufacturing costs to account for and the costs of beginning work in process, direct materials, and direct labor for the period. When the ending work in process is deducted from the total manufacturing costs, the resulting figure represents the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory.
