Answer:

a.

Quick Ratio - Current Year = 1.44

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = 1.447826 rounded off to 1.45

b.

The quick ratio of the business has declined as it has less current assets to pay of each $1 of current liability than it had previous year.

Explanation:

A.

The quick ratio or acid test ratio is a financial ratio that is used to assess the liquidity of a business. It measures the amount of most liquid assets that the business has to pay each $1 of current liability of the business. The most liquid assets of a business are all of its current assets excluding inventory. The formula to calculate the quick ratio is,

Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio - Current Year = (660 + 1440 + 3300 - 1080) / 3000

Quick Ratio - Current Year = 1.44

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = (920 + 2050 + 1400 - 1040) / 2300

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = 1.447826 rounded off to 1.45

B.

The quick ratio of the business in previous year was approx. 1.45 which means that the business had $1.45 of most liquid current assets to pay each $1 of current liability while this year, it has $1.44 of current assets for each $1 of current liability. This means that the quick ratio of the business has declined as it has less current assets to pay of each $1 of current liability than it had previous year.

Unions contribute to Select one: a. frictional unemployment but not the natural rate of unemployment. b. the natural rate of une
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": both frictional unemployment and the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

Natural unemployment is defined as the lowest rate of unemployment an economy will reach. It is called natural because its causes are other than an adverse economy. Natural unemployment is a combination of <em>frictional unemployment</em> -employment transitions, <em>structural unemployment</em> -mismatch between abilities and current position, and <em>labor surplus</em>.

Unions are groups of individuals who join to set minimum standards at work in regards to wages, compensations, and conditions. <em>Union members are, by default, always available to join the workforce even if there is work to be done or not. Sometimes, union members are assigned duties their abilities outperform just to avoid having the member unemployed. These are the reasons why unions are said to contribute to natural unemployment.</em>

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
