Answer:
a) $1,918.17
b) 16.8 months
C) Yes, Capstone Turbine will remain in business.
Explanation:
a) To find the monthly cash expenses, we have:
Monthly cash expenses = negative cash flow from operations / 12
= 23018 / 12
= $1,918.17
b) To find the ratio of cash to monthly cash expenses, we have:
Ratio of cash to monthly cash expenses = Year end cash / monthly cash expenses
= $32,221 / $1,918.17
= 16.797
≈ 16.8 months
c) Yes, Capstone Turbine will remain in business because the calculated ratio above shows that they have cash to continue operations for approximately 16.8 months.
Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
Answer:
$1.28
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
As we know that
Earning per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
where,
Net income is
Earning before interest and taxes $24,600
Less: Interest
($60,000 × 6%) - $3,600
Income before tax $21,000
Less: tax for 40% - $8,400
Earning after tax $12,600
Less: Preference dividend
(1,500 shares × $5) -$7,500
Income available $5,100
So the earning per share is
= $5,100 ÷ $4,000
= $1.28
Answer:
b. $1,500
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of manufacturing overhead is shown below:
= Assembly department + Fabrication department
where,
Assembly department equals to
= $30 × 40 machine hours
= $1,200
Fabrication department would be
= $12 × 25 direct labor hour
= $300
So, the total manufacturing overhead would be
= $1,200 + $300
= $1,500
Answer:
D) Permit limited private ventures
Explanation:
An absolute command economy will not permit limited private ventures since it is practicing a socialist or communist political and economic system. In a socialist system all means of production is controlled by the state and liberty to private enterprise is restricted.
