nikklg [1K]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

My assessment of the Under Armour’s performance downturn in North America that first appeared in the fourth quarter of 2016 was that Under Armour’s 2016 downturn was caused as a result of the reduction in the sale and earnings outlook.

Also, the weakened demand that occurred in North America had a negative effect on demand and resulted in the company dropping from 25.7% in the first quarter, to 21.5% in the second quarter and about 15.6% in the third quarter.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

As per accounting equation,

Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity

Following would be the effect of the transactions:

A. Received $50,000 in cash from sale of common stock

This transaction would increase the assets as cash is an asset at the same time it would increase capital or owners equity by the same amount.

So this will cause an increase in amount on both sides by $50,000

B. Borrowed $20,000 from the local bank by signing a note promising to pay loan plus interest in 2 years

This would result into an increase in the liability by the money borrowed at the same time would increase cash balance i.e the assets.

Thus it will increase the accounting equation by $20,000.

C. Paid $8000 for the purchase of an equipment

This increases the assets balance at the same time reduces the cash balance. Since both equipment and cash are assets, the net effect of the transaction on equation would be NO EFFECT.

D. Provided services to customer on account

This would increase debtors or accounts receivables balance and at the same time would increase sales.

So the effect would be an increase on the assets side of the equation. Also since this represents a credit sale, this would increase the profits which would form part of reserves which in turn increases the owners equity.

Thus, an increase in assets and owners equity which shall increase the equation by $5000

E. Received $ 5000 from customers above

This shall increase cash balance and at the same time reduce debtors balance by $5000. Since both are assets, the transaction will have NO EFFECT.

F. Paid $1,200 for one years worth of insurance in advance

Premium paid in advance is a prepaid expense and an asset. This shall increase prepaid expenses and at the same time reduce cash by the same time so it will have NO EFFECT on the equation.

G. Paid $800 to employees for salaries

This reduces the profits by $800 i.e owners equity and at the same time reduce cash (an asset).

So the equation will decrease by $800.

H. Purchased supplies costing $1,400 on account

This refers to credit purchases which shall increase the purchases balance which in return would reduce profits and hence owners equity. At the same time it will create a liability for creditors which shall increase the balance of liabilities by the same amount. So NO CHANGE

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Workplace discrimination.

Explanation:

Workplace discrimination is an extremely negative situation that occurs due to certain characteristics of an individual. It may occur because the individual belongs to different ethnic groups, depending on nationality, color, religion, etc.

This situation is harmful to the organization as a whole, the discriminated individual is the one who suffers the most for having their equality rights violated and for feeling coerced and disrespected in a work environment that should be supported by criteria of equality, ethics and collaboration .

It is necessary for companies to be aware of possible loopholes in their policies that may corroborate with such illegal acts, revising them whenever necessary and strengthening the values of respect for personal individualities and equality among employees.
