Answer:
C) signature
Explanation:
In marketing, signature refers to the identification of the advertisement's sponsor, i.e. the advertisement is paid for by whom. Generally if you see and advertisement for Coke, you can assume that the advertisement sponsor was the Coca Cola company, but other times advertisements are not that direct and straight forward.
But even in Coke ads, the sponsor must be identified, that is why the signature is necessary and it is generally placed in the bottom part of the ad written in a very small letter.
Answer:
d.total factory overhead cost variance.
Explanation:
In manufacturing accounting, at the beginning of the period, manufacturing overheads (i.e. costs other than Direct Material and Direct Labor) has been applied to Work-in-process using a predetermined overhead rate. At the end of the period, if the manufacturing overhead account shows a debit balance, that signifies that overhead has been under-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>less </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period), and contrariwise if the manufacturing overhead account shows a credit balance, it means the overhead is over-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>more </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period). In any case this balance warrants an adjustment to close out the books, by transferring it to the cost of goods sold account.
Answer:
Increase of 130 million
Explanation:
In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;
Firstly, we calculate the current tax.
Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million
Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million
This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million
We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.
This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million
