Answer:

The correct answer is D) Top management

Explanation:

Top management, as the name implies, consists of those who are at the highest point in the management hierarchy. The most common positions that are part of top managament are, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Chief Strategist Officer (CSO). They are usually part of the Board of Directors, which answers to the shareholders.

Their task is, as the question specifies, to define the general policy of the company, including goals and strategies to achieve those goals. In a way, companies are just like nations, they have top executives like the president or the president of the senate, who define the direction in which the company/country will go.

Exercise 19-08 a-b Oriole Corporation incurred the following costs while manufacturing its product.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

$371,700

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is shown below:

Cost of goods manufactured  = Direct materials used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing overhead cost + beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory

where,

Manufacturing overhead cost is

= Depreciation on plant + Factory supplies used + Property tax on plant

= $61,000 + $29,300 + $21,800

= $112,100

The cost of goods manufactured is

= $126,400 + $113,500 + $112,100 + $14,600 - $16,700

= $349,900

Now the cost of goods sold is

= Beginning finished goods + Cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods

= $70,900 + $349,900 - $49,100

= $371,700

Alex

Answer:

Lenders loose and borrowers gain

Explanation:

Whenever inflation increases the value of money falls and technically erodes interest rates (hence real interest rate falls although nominal rate stays the same)

In the scenario, if the inflation rate rises to 5.5%, then the real interest rate falls further from 1.5% to (5.75% - 5.5%) 0.25%, demonstrating that the lender is loosing further.

Contrarily, the borrower will technically be paying lesser interest to the lender because he will be paying lesser money in value to the lender both in terms of interest and principal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Appalachian Beverages

The Updated current ratio is:

= 1.65

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Current assets = $39,900

Current ratio = 1.90

Current liabilities = $21,000 ($39,900/1.90)

Current Assets:

Beginning balance = $39,900

Inventory                      $5,100

Cash                           ($2,000)

Ending balance =      $43,000

Current Liabilities:

Beginning balance = $21,000

Accounts Payable       $5,100

Ending balance =      $26,100

Analysis of Transactions:

1. Inventory $5,100 Accounts Payable $5,100

2. Delivery Truck $10,000 Cash $2,000 Two-year Note Payable $8,000

Updated current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= $43,000/$26,100

= 1.65
