Answer:

Explanation:

FASB amended the rules to improve the comparability of the information about business combinations provided in financial reports. A variable interest entity is a legal business.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 141(R) in 2007 December, to substitute the SFAS 141. Evaluating the comment letters, articles and industry publications, they analyzed issues that were with SFAS 141 from the perspective of professionals, users and the FASB; it was evaluated 141(R) to ascertain these weaknesses and they were corrected with solutions been profound in 141(R).

Last year Oliver Inc had a total assets turnover of 1.60 and an equity multiplier of 1.85. Its sales were $200,000 and its net i
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

7.4%

Explanation:

As we know that

ROE = Profit margin ×  Total asset turnover × Equity multiplier

where,

Profit margin = (Net income ÷ Sales) × 100

                     = ($10,000 ÷ $200,000) × 100

                     = 5%

So, the ROE would be

= 5% × 1.60 × 1.85

= 14.8%

Now if the net income is increased by  $5,000

So, the updated profit margin would be

= (Net income ÷ Sales) × 100

= ($15,000 ÷ $200,000) × 100

= 7.5%

And updated ROE would be

= 7.5% × 1.60 × 1.85

= 22.2%

So, the change in ROE would be

= 22.2% - 14.8%

= 7.4%

Discuss one transaction cost-reduction opportunity that you believe the company has missed.
shutvik [7]

This is the full question

Choose one of the Web sites listed in the previous question and identify three ways the company has reduced its transaction costs by using a Web site to provide information. List these three transaction cost-reduction elements and write a paragraph in which you discuss one transaction cost-reduction opportunity that you believe that company has missed.

Answer:

I visited the Netflix website. I do not own a netflix account. Netflix has the following cost-reduction opporunities on its webpage:

  • Clear information about the costs of the streaming service.
  • Clear Frequently Asked Question section explaining about the nature of the service, and the terms of the contract in case you decide to purchase the service.
  • Very nice visual interface without clutter.

One transaction cost-reduction opportunity that Netflix is missing though is:

  • Lack of a preview to see what shows and films are available.

Total costs              $1,190,957           $841,543         $2,032,500

       

2) product costs per unit:

molding = $675,000 / 100,000 units = $6.75 per unit

painting = $512,500 / 100,000 units = $5.125 per unit

3) period costs per unit:

molding = $515,957 / 100,000 units = $5.16 per unit

Equipment value     $118/$177 = 66.7%               $59/$177 = 33.3%
