Answer:

The answer is: D) $5,800

Explanation:

The doubtful accounts should have a total balance of $6,000, representing 1% of total sales (= $600,000 x 1%).

Since doubtful accounts balance is only $200, you must entry a debit record of $5,800 (so that the total balance of that account is $6,000).

Which of the following statements regarding an internal rate of return analysis is false?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer: Option D

Explanation: Internal rate of return ,denoted as IRR, is the rate at which the net present value of a capital investment is zero. It is the rate at which the cash flows of the investment are discounted back to calculate the present value.

While, required rate of return is that return which an investor expects to achieve over time from a capital project.

Thus, one would only select a capital project only if the NPV of a project is positive which can only happen when the return on investment, that is, IRR, is greater than cost of capital, that is, required rate of return.

Pettit Company reports net income of $90,000 in 2019. However, ending inven- tory was understated $7,000. What is the correct ne
zimovet [89]

Answer:

<em>a)Corrected net income= $97,000</em>

<em>b) Total assets figure is understated.</em>

Explanation:

<em>To arrive at the net income, cost of goods sold is usually deducted from the sales revenue. An cost of sold is determined by subtracting the value of inventory. So an understated inventory would mean an overstated </em><em>cost of goods sold </em><em>and </em><em>understated net income</em>

<em>Correct net income = 90,000 + 7,000</em>

<em>                                 = $97,000</em>

<em>Inventory is part of current assets s reported in the balance sheet . Therefore, if inventory is understated it implies that the current assets figure is understated and therefore the</em><em> total assets figure is understated.</em>

nekit [7.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.

For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:

create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first

For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered

the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.
