Answer:

The answer is: False

Explanation:

Cultural misunderstanding happen when you say something, or make some gestures, or do some action that in your culture is totally normal and harmless, but for other cultures they might represent something really serious, offensive and bad.

For example, I went to visit a Korean friend and I knew that I had to take my shoes off when entering the house. The problem was that when I took my shoes off I left them besides the door where a another pair of shoes were. My friend's father was extremely offended when he noticed I had left my shoes with the women's shoes since it represents that I was dating the female owner of the shoes. I had the best possible intention and even tried to learn about his culture but I just couldn't learn every detail.

"Christie and Jergens formed a partnership with capital contributions of $300,000 and $400,000, respectively. Their partnership

Katen [24]

Answer:

The Christie and Jergens's respective shares are $92,500 and $42,500.

Explanation:

For computing the Christie and Jergens's respective shares, first, we have to compute the remaining income which is to be shared between these two partners. The computation is shown below:

= Net income - salary - interest on total capital

= $135,000 - $60,000 - 10% × ($300,000 + $400,000)

= $135,000 - $60,000 - $70,000

= $5,000

So, the remaining income would be divided equally between the partners

Now

Christie shares = Salary + interest on capital + remaining income

= $60,000 + ($300,000 × $10%) + $2,500

= $60,000 + $30,000 + $2,500

= $92,500

And, the Jergens shares = interest on capital + remaining income

= ($400,000 × $10%) + $2,500

= $40,000 + $2,500

= $42,500

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": cumulative preferred stock that have been declared but have not been paid.

Explanation:

Dividends in arrears are dividends that have not been paid in a period on cumulative preferred stock. A company does not necessarily have to pay dividends to its shareholders but the payment becomes cumulative. Under this situation, it is said that the organization has failed to generate enough cash during the year. Besides, there must be a dividend declaration for the dividends in arrears to be liable recognized.

mina [271]

Answer:

(1) Debt Ratio in 2017 = 44.57%; Debt Ratio in 2016 = 39.33%; Equity Ratio in 2017 = 55.43%; and Equity Ratio in 2016 = 60.67%.

(2) Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2017 = 80.42%; and Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2016 = 64.83%.

(3) Times Interest Earned in 2017 = 4.71 times; and Times Interest Earned in 2016 = 4.22 times.

Explanation:

(1) Calculation of debt and equity ratios

Debt ratio is a ratio that is used to measure the ability of a company to pay off its liabilities with its assets. Debt ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets

We can then calculate as follows:

Total debt = Accounts payable + Long-term notes payable secured by mortgages on plant assets

Total debt in 2017 = $159,605 + $120,505 = $280,110

Total debt in 2016 = $89,723 + $123,354 = $213,077

Total assets in 2017 = $628,417

Total assets in 2016 = $541,739

Debt Ratio in 2017 = $280,110 / $628,417 = 0.4457, or 44.57%

Debt Ratio in 2016 = $213,077 / $541,739 = 0.3933, or 39.33%

Equity ratio is a ratio that is used to measure the amount of assets of a company that are financed by the investments of the owners of the company. Equity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Equity Ratio = Total Equity / Total Assets

We can then calculate as follows:

Total equity = Common stock, $10 par value + Retained earnings

Total equity in 2017 = $162,500 + $185,807 = $348,307

Total equity in 2016 = $162,500 + $166,162 = $328,662

Equity Ratio in 2017 = 0.5543, or 55.43%

Equity Ratio in 2016 = 0.6067, or 60.67%

(2) Calculation of debt-to-equity ratio.

The debt-equity ratio provides the proportion of financing of a company that is contributed by creditors and investors. Debt-equity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt-To-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity

Using the data in part (1) above, we can then calculate as follows:

Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2017 = $280,110 / $348,307 = 0.8042, or 80.42%

Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2016 = $213,077 / $328,662 = 0.6483, or 64.83%

(3) Calculation of times interest earned

The times interest earned ratio is a ratio that is used to determine the proportionate amount of income that that is required to cover interest expenses. The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) / Interest expenses

We can then calculate as follows:

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Other operating expenses

EBIT in 2017 = $816,942 - $498,335 - $253,252 = $65,355

EBIT in 2016 = $644,669 - $419,035 - $163,101 = $62,533

Interest expenses in 2017 = $13,888

Interest expenses in 2016 = $14,827

Times Interest Earned in 2017 = $65,355 / $13,888 = 4.71 times

Times Interest Earned in 2016 = $62,533 / $14,827 = 4.22 times
