Answer:

a. In a situation where prices are declining, companies using LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.

Explanation:

The last in first out method (LIFO) generally results in less net income because Cost of Goods Sold is greater. The reason is that normally prices increase with time due to inflation.

However, the opposite is true when prices are falling, LIFO will report the smallest cost of goods sold.

<u>The reason is the last items are assumed to be sold first, hence the figure of cost of goods sold will be smaller since the costs are smaller compared to the stock bought previously which are more expensive. </u>

arlik [135]

Answer: :a. Retrospectively

Explanation:

A change in depreciation method is a change in accounting policy and as such it would need to be accounted for retrospectively.

This means that it must be accounted for by going back to all periods where the change affects an entry and adjusting that entry for the change so that the accounting can be more accurate.

Stacy purchased a stock last year and sold it today for $4 a share more than her purchase price. She received a total of $1.15 p
dusya [7]

Answer: B. The capital gains yield is positive.

Explanation:

The Capital Gains Yield is a percentage figure that tells how much an investment has increased in price from it's acquisition.

It works by taking the new value and dividing it by the original value.

Using Stacy as an example, the Stock increased by $4 so assuming she bought the stock for even $0.1 then her Capital Yield is,

= 4/0.1

= 40 * 100%

= 4000% which is positive

As long as the stock was sold for more than it was bought, Capital Yield Gain is positive.

Competition in the craft Brewing Industry in 20171. Identify the strategic issues facing craft beer brewers in 2017. What effect
Cloud [144]

Answer:

1. Threat of new entrants to the industry and the power of suppliers are the strategic issues facing craft brewers in 2017. The threat of entry has a great effect on a companies willingness to expand its product base in fear that a new entrant will either mimic or produce a substitute for their product.

2. I would recommend that small breweries need to get out there and get their product in the minds of more customers, use social media to target their audiences and consumers. They should also invest in equipment that will reduce labor costs in the long run. Risk of supply availability can be mitigated by using multiple suppliers or becoming your own suppliers and also selling to other breweries, making another source of income.
