Answer: I found the options:

A. The current ratio includes assets other than cash.

B. A high current ratio may indicate inadequate inventory on hand.

C. The two companies may define working capital in differentterms.

D. A high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assetsand liabilities.

Explanation: The correct answer is "D. A high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assets and liabilities."

Is invalid to assume that the company with the higher current ratio is te better company because a high current ratio may indicate inefficient use of various assets and liabilities, That is why it would be convenient to observe other ratios that can help us compare more fully the 2 companies.

Last year mike bought 100 shares of dallas corporation common stock for $53 per share. during the year he received dividends of
Pepsi [2]
Mike brought 100 shares costing $53 each.
Total costs of shares= 100*53
=$5300

He got dividends of $1.45 per share. A dividend is money that is earnt back from a share.
Total dividend amount = 1.45*100
=$145

I'm assuming that Mike sold his shares at the end of the year. He sells for $60 each.
Total sales amount=60*100
=$6000

The rate of return in this instance can be defined as the amount of money made back from a share.

Rate of return= total earnings/ costs

Total costs= $5300
Total earnings=$6145

6145/5300=1.1594
=15.9%

Hope this helps! :)

Dobles Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: The Assembly Cost Pool has a total co
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A.  

$95.34 per unit

Explanation:

activity cost pool     total cost(a)       total activity(b)        activity rate

assembly                  $228060         180000 hours             $12.67

processing oders       $34068             1200 orders             $28.39

inspection                   $125560           1720 hours                 $73.00

Cost per activity is obtained by dividing total cost for each activity pool with its respective total activity. Cost per activity is helpful to identify the total cost allocated to each activity.

particulars               expected activity         per activity rate    total cost

assembly                  460 hours                     $12.67                  $5828.20

processing orders    80 orders                      $28.39                 $2271.20

inspection                   10 hours                       $73.00                  $730.00

manufacturing overhead                                                            $8829.40

Manufacturing overhead is the other costs that are neither direct material cost and nor direct labor cost. Here we add the total cost incurred in each cost pool to arrive at manufacturing overhead of $8,829.40. The manufacturing overhead incurred is allocated to each cost pool as per the activity and per activity rate.

manufacturing overhead per unit = manufacturing overhead/total units produced

= $8829.40/420

= $21.02

product cost per unit = direct material per unit + direct labor per unit + manufacturing overhead cost per unit

                                    = $48.96 + $25.36 + $21.02

                                    = $95.34

Therefore, the unit product cost of product D28K is closest to $95.34

Type the correct answer in the box. Spell all words correctly. Which drawback of being an entrepreneur can disrupt your personal
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

an unpredictable and long work schedule

Explanation:

Being an entrepreneur requires a lot of effort, passion and time. The most scarce resource of all is time, since not even the richest person in the world can add more hours to a day. An entrepreneur must work a lot in order to make his/her company succeed and a lot of work takes a lot of time. An entrepreneur's work schedule is both unpredictable and extremely long. Such a combination is sometimes terrible for your personal life. That is why many entrepreneurs actually work with their partners, e.g. small businesses are generally run by families. If work will absorb so much of your time, you might share your work with your loved ones.

Shontelle owns an apartment house that has an adjusted basis of $760,000 but is subject to a mortgage of $192,000. She transfers
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

(a) $332,000

(b) $312,000

(c) $760,000

Explanation:

(a) Her realized gain or loss

Mathematically, Realized gain or loss = Amount realized - Adjusted Basis = (120000 + 780000 + 192000) - 760000.

= 1092000 - 760000

= $ 332000

(b) Her Recognized gain.

Mathematically, her recognized gain = Amount received in cash + Amount received in Mortgage = 120,000 + 192,000 = $312,000

(c) Basis of newly acquired office Building.

Mathematically:

Basis of newly acquired building = Fair market value of building - (realized gain - recognized gain) = (780,000)-(332,000-312,000) = 780,000-20,000 = $760,000
