Answer:

Read the explanation below.

Explanation:

A. Luxury yatch: Not a lot of people buy Yactchs, but a lot of businesses are capable of making them. So more or less the buyer is in position to dictate terms. And asking the buyer to open a letter of credit may result in the loss of sale.

But to protect against the risk of losing payment, the seller can opt for export credit insurance. Here on advantage of export credit insurance is the exporter is more likely to make the sale in a competitive market such as this. If there is a default, the insurance should cushion the blow. However, Canada and California are not known for opaque or radically different legal systems, are not far away, and do not have linguistic or other barriers. In the event of default, the yatch is likely to be returned.

b. Machine tools. Again, one advantage is that the new yorker exporter is more likely to make the sale. The exporter's position however is strong due to the fact not lot of people make machine tools as the are hard to make and have a higher fixed costs.

Thus, letter credit is the most viable option in this case.

laila [671]

Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Materials Costs = Units × Unit Material Cost

                          = 6,000 × $8

                          = $48,000

Conversion costs = Units × Percentage Complete × Unit Conversion Cost

                             = 6,000 × 75% × $12

                             = $54,000

Ending Work-In Process Inventory:

= Materials Costs  + Conversion Costs

= $48,000 + $54,000

=  $102,000

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Groupthink is when a group of individuals reach a consensus without really weighing the matter, comsequences, or whether you can have other alternatives. Groupthink takes its cue from just desiring not to upset the balance of a group of people. This in no way does not describe the Motorola team that developed the Razr cell phone. They agreed on the objectives at hand and on the best approach to solve the problem.

Which of the following illustrates an inflow of cash? a. a decrease in common stock b. a decrease in long-term debt c. a decreas
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

A decrease in inventory means customers are buying inventories (goods) from the business. It is an inflow because money comes in.

Option A is incorrect because a decrease in common stock means shareholders are withdrawing their shareholding from the business and the business will pay them. This is an outflow.

Option B is incorrect because a decrease in long term debt means the business is paying its debt or redcuing its liability and this is an outflow.

Option D is also incorrect because an increase in fixed assets means the business is buying this asset with cash and this is an outflow
