Answer:

Assets decreases by $1,900 while liabilities also decreases by $1,900.

Explanation:

Accounting equation shows that the assets of a company is equal to the addition of its liabilities and shareholders' equity. This is stated mathematically as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' equity ................................. (1)

The aim of the accounting equation is to ensure that the balance sheet is always balanced, that is, a change in one of the components of the accounting equation must result in a corresponding change in another component of the accounting equation. This ensures the accounting equation always balance.

in the question, purchasing an item on account means that the item was purchased on credit i.e. without paying for it immediately. This makes the supplier a creditor to the company and creditor is one of the components of liabilities in the accounting equation. The payment of $1,900 to the creditor implies a decrease in the liabilities by $1,900.

In addition, cash is one of the components of assets in the accounting equation stated above. Therefore, the payment of $1,900 by the company to the creditor/supplier reduces assets by $1,900.

Based on this information, the accounting equation (1) above can be restated as follows:

Assets - $1,900  = Liabilities - $1,900 + Shareholders' equity ............ (2)

This shows that assets decreases by $1,900 while liabilities also decreases by $1,900.

To test that the accounting equation always balance, equation (2) can be solved and we will obtain equation (1) back again as follows:

Assets - $1,900 + $1,900 = Liabilities + Shareholders' equity

Since - $1,900 + $1,900 = 0, we have equation (1) back again as follows:

Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' equity

I wish you the best.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

From a cost savings perspective the switch should be made in-house

Explanation:

In deciding whether Cool Systems should make or buy the switch , we calculate the relevant applicable to  both situations,then compare t see which option saves costs.

The cost of making the switch is calculated thus:

Direct materials per unit      $5

Direct labor                           $3

Variable overhead                <u>$6</u>

Total relevant cost               <u> $14</u>    

The cost of purchasing the switch from another supplier is $15

From the above analysis, it is preferable to make the switch in-house as that option saves $1($15-$14) per switch.

However, it might be that we need to look beyond cost savings sometimes,purchasing the switch from another supplier might be viable if the quality of the outside switch is better or that the outside supplier can deliver in timely fashion.

Lelu [443]

Answer and explanation:

Externalized costs are costs that the society pays that are generated by producers and the consumers of the product. The common example is the use of petrol. If I own a car and I don't like riding bicyle for smaller distances, this means the Carbon dioxie emission caused due to me have to be born by the society. This means that the net effect would be a loss to society caused by the usage of products that are injurious to our ecosystem.

UK has targeted to achieve zero Carbon dioxide emission by 2050, which shows their commitment to social responsibility and we keep dumping things in the oceans because nobody acknowlegdes the damage caused by using plastic made products and also not recycling it. After plastic into the oceans the marine life suffers. The Carbon Dioxide emission is one of the main reasons why the glaciers are melting and many animals are dying annually. We unaware with our responsibilities to our society and love profits no matter if someone dies or get harmed by the operations of the company or using products that have greater externalized costs.
