Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

C. Step variable cost

Explanation:

Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.

Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.

In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer. This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.

Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.

How would you describe the savings rate in america compared with other industrialized countries?

Natasha_Volkova [10]

United States’ savings rate is only around 10%, much lower than any other countries. There's some reasoning behind it. In fact, countries with the highest savings rates weren’t necessarily the countries with the highest GDPs. GDP os US is $56,300 per capita but their household savings rate of just 4.9%. Also, in Hungary their GDP is $26,000 while their savings rate of 9.0%. This implies that the money they have isn't place on one nest only or put to savings, rather allocated to a much more important sectors. We should not forget taking into account their purchasing power parity, the rate a currency would have to be converted into another to buy the same amount of goods and services of the country.
