The purpose of the Splish Brothers Division is to develop a nuclear-powered aircraft. If successful, traveling delays associated

with refueling could be substantially reduced. Many other benefits would also occur. To date, management has not had much success and is deciding whether a write-down at this time is appropriate. Management estimated its future net cash flows from the project to be $440 million. Management has also received an offer to purchase the division for $335 million. All identifiable assets' and liabilities' book and fair value amounts are the same.

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Your question was incomplete so I attached the missing details.

The Carrying Amount of the Division has to be ascertained to move forward as it is needed in calculating the loss on Impairment. It is calculated by subtracting Goodwill from the Net Assets.

= 496 - 214

= $282 million

Calculating the Loss on impairment is done by the following formula,

= Market Price - Carrying Amount of the Division (net of Goodwill) - carrying value of Goodwill

= 335 - 282 - 214

= -$161 million.

Journal Entry

DR Loss on Impairment $161 million

CR Goodwill $161 million

Each country must answer three economic questions.<br>Define and describe each economic question
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The three economic questions that every society must answer are as follows: "What to produce?" "How to produce?" and "For whom to produce?"

"What to produce": The quantity in which a commodity is to be produced is set at that level where demand equals supply. If quality produced is more or less, then there will be dis equilibrium in the market and price will fluctuate. Hence, to maintain stable equilibrium price it becomes necessary to make demand and supply equal.

"How to Produce": There are two types of techniques. A labor-intensive technique would employ relatively more labor and less capital. On the other hand, capital- intensive technique means more capital and less labor.  The choice of technique depends on the prices of the factors of production. That is, if labor is cheap and capital is expensive, a labor-intensive technique would be considered and vice-versa.

"For whom to produce": The solution of this problem is very simple commodity can be consumed only by people who have more purchasing power. Price mechanism determines the income of the workers, i.e.; purchasing power. The purchasing power of the owner of capital is determined in the same way. Thus, when the price of every commodity and every factor of production are determined, the third problem will be solved

Lang Co. issued bonds with detachable common stock warrants. Only the warrants had a known market value. The sum of the fair val
12345 [234]

Answer: discount on bonds payable

Explanation:

Based on the information given, since the sum of the fair value of the warrants and the face amount of the bonds exceeds the cash proceeds, then the excess will be reported as the discount on bonds payable.

The discount on the bonds payable occurs in a scenario whereby the bonds are issued for a lesser amount than their face or their maturity amount.

The reason for this is when the bonds have a stated interest rate that is smaller than market interest rate for similar bonds.

Stolb23 [73]

Based on the metrics given, we can say that shipping errors were <u>not very impactful </u>on customer questions.

<h3>Relationships between metrics</h3>
  • Customer questions kept rising by 2% from the first month till the third month.
  • Shipping errors (shipped incorrectly) rose by 2% from the first to the second month and then stayed constant.

What we then realize is that even though questions kept rising, shipping errors only rose once which means that shipping errors did not account for much of customer questions. If it did, the customer questions would have stayed constant as well.

In conclusion, shipping errors were not very impactful.
