Answer:

a.An increase in cash flows from operating activities

Explanation:

The cash flow statement categories the company's transactions in a financial period into 3 groups; these are operating, investing and financing.

The net profit/loss, depreciation, changes in current assets such as inventory, accounts receivables etc, (other than cash) and liabilities are considered as operating activities including income taxes.

The sale of assets, interest received, purchase of investments are examples of investing activities while the issuance of stocks, debt principal deduction (loan settlement), issuance of debt securities etc are examples of financing activities.

An increase in assets other than cash is an outflow while an increase in liabilities is an inflow. A decrease in assets (other than cash) is an inflow of cash while a decrease in liabilities is an outflow of cash.

2. Skip and Peggy are brother and sister and they fight about everything. Skip says that perfectly competitive firms maximize pr

finlep [7]

Answer: They are both right.

Explanation:

Firms in every market will always maximise profit where their Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost because at this point, resources are being fully utilized. This is therefore no different in a Perfectly competitive market so Skip is correct.

Peggy is also correct however because in a Perfectly Competitive market, the demand curve is perfectly elastic. This creates a situation where the Price, Marginal Revenue and Average Revenue are all the same and represent the demand curve as well.

With the Price being the same as the Marginal Revenue in a Perfectly competitive firm, that means that where the Price equals Marginal Cost is where the Marginal Revenue equals Marginal Cost as well so indeed perfectly competitive firms maximize profit where price equals marginal cost.

Lee Company has the following information for the pay period of December 15–31: Gross payroll $16,000 Federal income tax withh

vodomira [7]

Answer: $10,800

Explanation:

In the above scenario it is worthy of note that the company is the one that pays for Federal and State Unemployment tax.

That means that the employees pay for Federal income tax withheld at $4,000, Social security at 6% and Medicare at 1.5%.

Calculating salaries payable therefore would be,

= 16,000 - 4,000 - (16,000 * 6%) - (16,000 * 1.5%)

= $10,800

Salaries Payable would be recorded at $10,800.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.

The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.

<u>To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 17,248 units

<u>Now, the selling price is $107:</u>

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 15,488 units
