Answer:

1. $30,500;

2. $30,000;

3. $22,000;

=> Option 1 produce the highest net income.

Explanation:

We have sell price per unit = 305K /5K = $61

1.  Increase selling price by 10% with no change in total variable costs or sales volume:

Sell price = 61 x 1.1 = $67.1

Sales revenue = 67.1 x 5,000 = $335,500

Increase in sales revenue = 335.5K - 305K = $30,500

As costs remains the same, Net income will increase as much as the increase as sales revenue which is $30,500.

2.  Reduce variable costs to 60% of sales:

New variable cost = $305,000 x 60% = $183,000

Saving in variable cost = 213K - 183K = $30,000

As fixed cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in variable cost which is $30,000

3. Reduce fixed costs by $22,000:

As variable cost and sales revenue remain the same, net income will increase as much as the saving in fixed cost which is $22,000

denis23 [38]

Answer:

b. decrease no effect

Explanation:

When the treasury stock is repurchased and at a premium. That is the price more than the par value, the excess is debited to the additional paid in capital account as this is the account used to fund the additional amount required to pay the differential.

Retained earnings on the other hand are unaffected by this transaction as long as the company has enough funds in the paid in capital account to complete the transaction.

Total paid in capital will decrease

Retained earnings will have no effect

Hope that helps.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

B) False

Explanation:

Not necessary. Every transactions has two parts recorded as a debit and a credit.

If the purchases of US assets (credit to US capital account, broadly include Treasury bonds, businesses and land) are funded by the sales of goods and services (debit to US current account) then it will push the US balance of payments down.

However, if those purchases are funded by the sales of foreign assets to US investors (debit to US broadly defined capital account), then it will not affect the US BOP negatively. It's the cross ownership of international investors in US assets and US investors in international assets.

Respas Corporation has provided the following data concerning an investment project that it is considering:
Ber [7]

Answer:

$462

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of all year cash inflows by considering the salvage value - initial investment

where,

Present value of all year cash inflows by considering the salvage value is

= Annual cash flows × PVIFA factor for 4 years at 15% + Salvage value × discount rate at 4 year on 15%

= $54,000 × 2.855 + $11,000 × 0.572

= $154,170 + $6,292

= $160,462

And, the initial investment is $160,000

So, the net present value is

= $160,462 - $160,000

= $462

We simply applied the above formula to determine the net present value

Refer to the PVIFA table and discount factor table

This is the answer but the same is provided in the given option

Which of the following is an example of how the Principle of Beneficence can be applied to a study employing human subjects?A. P
AVprozaik [17]
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

Determining that the study has a maximization of benefits and a minimization of risks is the best example of how the Principle of Beneficence can be applied to a study employing human subjects.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The principle of beneficence demands that the human subjects have self-determination. Also if some of the human subjects do not have the power to take decisions, the  investigators should make sure that the human subjects are not harmed. The  researchers should increase the chances of benefits and decrease the amount of risk.

The research studies which include human subjects, even those that have very little risk  should not be taken into consideration if it does not create scientifically valid or presents  us new facts. It is very confusing for the researchers to determine when the benefits  should be taken into consideration because of the risks and benefits should be sought  despite the risks.
