Answer:

b. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

Explanation:

The options are as follows

a. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to decrease. If total assets decreased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

b. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

c. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to decrease. If total assets decreased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to decrease.

d. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to decrease.

Let us assume the sales is $100,000

So, the asset turnover equal to

Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets

1.6 = $100,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $62,500

Now the return on assets equal to

Return on assets = Profit ÷ Total Assets

15% = Profit ÷ $62,500

So, the profit is $9,375

Now in the current year

The asset turnover equal to

Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets

1.2 = $100,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $83,333.33

Now the return on assets equal to

Return on assets = Profit ÷ Total Assets

19% = Profit ÷ $83,333.33

So, the profit is $15,833.33

Now the increase in asset and profit is

Increase in asset = ($83,333.33 - $62,500) ÷ (62500)

= 33.33%

And, the increase in profit is

= ($15,833.33,- $9,375) ÷ ($9,375)

= 68.89%

As we can see that the increase in asset decreased but at the same time the increase in profit increases that results in increases in total assets and the increment in return on assets.

Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The crabs are a Common Good. They means can run out of supply if their use gets too much by society. Therefore, the decline of the Alaska king crab fishery can be explained by stating that the plenty types of boats such as those from California and Japan, has caused people to overfish, excessive fishing has brought about a decline in the supply of crabs.

b. There are 2 ways to avoid this

1. fishing permits have to be sold to the fishermen coming to fish for the crabs. Then the persons with the highest willingness to pay will come and buy the permits to fish.

2. Issuing just a particular amount of permits this would cause the fishermen to trade these permits. These open-market strategies have proved to be effective in organizing economic activity and are good stimulators in an economy.

c. They have been successful because regulations have been placed on fishing by the government. Also, if there are restrictions on other countries using up their spots and Canadians are the only ones fishing salmon, then there will be reduction in the decay rate of the population of the salmon, the salmon can easily repopulate, then Canadians would be able to come back the next year to fish again..
