John's reaction is an example of the bystander effect.
It means that he will just continue staring at the accident because he is curious as to what happened and he wants to see how the event is resolved, however, he is not really willing to do anything to help the people involved - he will just assume someone else will do that.
Answer:
Part a.
Yes, variable costing operating income is less than or greater than absorption costing.
Part b.
$247,860
Explanation:
The difference between variable costing operating income and absorption costing operating income lies in the fixed costs deferred in inventory.
The profit in both method is the same if and only if there is no inventory. That means units produced equal units sold (Production = Sales)
The absorption costing method includes fixed manufacturing cost in determining product costs whereas the variable costing method only accounts for variable manufacturing cost.
When the units produced are greater than units Sold (Production > Sales) , Fixed Costs in Inventory increases this means absorption profits will be greater than Variable costing profit as <em>Fixed costs in inventory value reduces cost of sales in absorption costing.</em>
<u>Difference in variable costing and absorption costing operating income.</u>
Difference = (81,000 - 76,140) x $51
= $247,860
Answer:
E
Explanation:
The required rate of return is the rate used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV. the more risky a project is, the higher the required rate of return. So, if it is perceived that the project is less risky, the required rate of return would decrease.
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Because the required rate of return is used to discount cash flows when calculating NPV, a lower rate would increase NPV
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested. The required rate is not needed when calculating IRR. so, there would be no change in IRR if discount rate is lowered.
miscellaneous income and added to the potential gross income.
