Answer; a. $ 2,000 understated

Explanation;

Inventory is usually self correcting so the overstatement in 2020 will not affect 2021. Only relevant effects will be the Depreciation in both years and inventory in 2021.

The Depreciation overstatement of $12,000 in 2020 had the effect of reducing Net income as it increased expenses so retained earnings will be understated.

In 2021, an understatement of Depreciation will overstate income as it understates expenses. The overstatement of Ending Inventory will lead to an understatement of Cost of Goods sold which will overstate Income as well.

2020 = $12,000 understatement

2021 = 6,000 + 4,000 = $10,000 overstatement

= 12,000 - 10,000

= $2,000 understatement

bearhunter [10]

Answer: Accounting profit = $35000, Economic profit = $13000

Explanation:

Accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost

Accounting profit = Revenue - Cost of Help - Rent - Cost of materials

Accounting profit = $72000 - $12000 - $5000 - $20000

Accounting profit = $35000

Economic profit = Revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit Cost

Economic profit = Revenue - Cost of Help - Rent - Cost of materials - Renting equipment - working for competitors - talent

Economic profit = $72000 - $12000 - $5000 - $20000 - $4000 - $15000 - $3000

Economic profit = $13000

Answer: Option E

                                                   

Explanation: In simple words, it refers to the situation in which two rival companies in an industry cut their prices with the objective of cutting the others customers and gaining a higher market share.

        Generally it is performed for short term so that other firm could be demolished from the market but a company having strong reserves can perform it for a long term as well.

It is more evident in industries where the products of two companies are close substitutes of each other and there are few firs in the industry.

Answer:

Transformational Leader

Explanation:

A transformational leader is someone who inspires and motivates employees to be innovative and create change to help achieve overall success of the business. The leader will encourage workplace ownership and independence in order to make employees feel like they are trusted and their ideas are valuable.

Instead of micromanaging, transformational leaders tend to delegate work. This is done by allowing workers to be creative, take authority, learn from mistakes and find their own solutions to problems than being told what to do.

When such mentoring and training is done, employees not only feel a sense of belongingness and trust in the workplace but are able to feel a sense of achievement, accomplishment and boost in self-esteem.

matrenka [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the federal income tax ramifications are shown below:

At the corporate level, the capital gain is

= Worth of the land - the purchased value of the land four years ago

= $240,000 - $160,000

= $80,000

Since there is four shareholders, so the amount each shareholder held is

= $80,000 ÷ 4

= $20,000

And, the David stock basis drop is

= David basis in S corporation stock - land worth + amount of each shareholder

= $270,000 - $240,000 + $20,000

= $50,000
