ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Adjusted net income will be $78,010

Explanation:

According to the Accrual concept all the accrued expenses should be recognized and deducted from the unadjusted net income and all the earned revenues should be recognized and added to unadjusted net Income.

Salaries and wages owed but not yet paid of $820 is an expense which is accrued but not been paid it should be recorded and deducted from the unadjusted net income as earlier expenses were understated.

Interest earned but not received from investments of $780 is the revenue recognized but not been received until now. Accrual Concept requires that when revenue is realized it should be recognized into the accounting records. So it should be added to the net income.

Prepaid insurance premiums amounting to $580 have expired is actually an accrued expense which previously recorded as prepaid expense. It should be deducted from the net income as it is a expense which need to be recognized.

Unearned revenue in the amount of $780 has now been earned. Now it should be added to the net income because it is a revenue item that should be recognized as it is recorded as unearned revenue earlier.

Net income to be $77,850 based on the unadjusted trial balance.

Adjusted Net Income = $77,850 - $820 + $780 - 580 + 780 = $78,010

Uncertainties in the supply chain can lead to: _____________

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

e. the bullwhip effect

Explanation:

Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers.

Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.

Therefore, the fundamental principle on which supply chain management is reliant on, is the complete collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing producer), a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.

Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.

However, uncertainties or fluctuations in the supply chain can lead to the bullwhip effect.

The bullwhip effect is also referred to as the Forrester effect and it can be defined as the increasing inefficient allocation of resources or inventory fluctuations (distortions) due to changes in demand with respect to the upward movement in supply chain i.e from the retailer to wholesaler and to the manufacturer. Thus, this inaccurate assessment of the demands of consumers leads to uncertainties or fluctuations in the supply chain, especially a decrease in the accuracy of the forecast made by a manufacturer (supplier).

Identify whether each statement in the following table best illustrates the concept of consumers’ surplus, producers’ surplus, o

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus

Explanation:

Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.

Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.

1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.

2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)

3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) & actual sale price ($199)
