Answer:

D

Explanation:

Nantell's operating income (EBIT) will increase., because now the company will record lower depreciation expense in the income statement due to increase in the life from 5 to 7 taken for the depreciation purposes. So decline in depreciation will result in higher EBIT.

a. is wrong as lower depreciation means higher net income.

b. is wrong as tax liability will not get impacted as tax will follows old method of depreciation.

c. is incorrect as depreciation is non cash expense thus does not impact cash position and tax has already be on the earlier method.

e. is incorrect as increase in EBIT will result in higher taxable income.

hence option D is the only correct option

yuradex [85]

Answer: $30,923

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that as part of an initial investment, Jackson contributes accounts receivable that had a balance of $32,290 in the accounts of a sole proprietorship. Out of the amount, $1,367 is deemed completely worthless and for the remaining accounts, the partnership will establish a provision for possible future uncollectible accounts of $848.

The amount debited to accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be the difference between the account receivable balance and the amount that was deemed worthless. This will be:

= $32,290 - $1,367

= $30,923

Therefore, the amount debited to Accounts Receivable for the new partnership will be $30,923

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a. keep producing in the short run but exit the market in the long run.

Explanation:

To answer the question, there is a need to look at the effect of the situation on the firm both in the short- run and the long-run

Short Run Effect

The Marginal cost is between average variable cost and average total cost. The business can still continue producing goods because the quantity being produced is still able to cover the average variable cost. This means that the firm is still able meet its variable costs by setting the price of its goods to its marginal cost which is an amount greater than its average variable cost.  

Long Run Effect

However, in the long-run the company will begin to have issues even meeting other important costs such as the fixed costs associated with production and as such, the firm will need to exit the market in the long run. For instance the cost of long term loans (principal and interest) may not be covered by the net income of the firm.
