Answer:

decrease

Explanation:

If the marginal cost of producing one extra unit is larger than the marginal revenue earned by selling one extra unit, then the production should either be reduced or halted.

Generally in very competitive industries, like car industries, when the marginal cost exceeds the marginal revenue then the company should stop production in the short run until the price increases.

One real life example we can use is the traditional sales battle to decide who sells the most sedan cars in America between Honda and Toyota. Toyota has the advantage of fleet selling over Honda, since Honda is not willing to offer steep discounts on fleet sales as Toyota does. But does selling more sedans equals larger profits? Not necessarily, since fleet sales require steep discounts, Toyota's profitability is reduced or nearly eliminated. Honda decides to lower their production levels so that their marginal costs don't exceed their marginal revenue.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Dr Allowances for sales returns     $600

Cr Sales refund payable                             $600

Being increase sales refund estimate

Explanation:

The necessary entries required for the sales refund payable is shown below:

Cr Sales refund payable                             $600

There is no adjusting entry to accounts receivable as that deals with receipt  of cash from sales transactions and not the actual sales transactions.

When the refund is eventually settled with cash, a debit is posted to sales refund payable and a credit to cash account

Gnesinka [82]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

A bond’s (face value) is generally $1,000 and represents the amount borrowed from the bond’s first purchaser.

A bond issuer is said to be in (default) if it does not pay the interest or the principal in accordance with the terms of the indenture agreement or if it violates one or more of the issue’s restrictive covenants.

A bond contract feature that requires the issuer to retire a specified portion of the bond issue each year is called a (sinking fund provision).

A bond’s (call provision) gives the issuer the right to call, or redeem, a bond at specific times and under specific conditions.

The face value is the dollar value of a security, or a stock's original cost. Default means when the bond issuer doesn't agree with the stated terms of the bond.
