Answer:

The answer is a. $10,225

Explanation:

The solution involves two steps. The first step is the calculation of net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) while the second step is the calculation of free cash flow.

Step 1 - Calculation of NOPAT

Sales                                            $185,250

Operating costs                          ($140,500)

Depreciation                                ($9,250)

Operating profit                           $35,500

Tax (35%)                                      ($12,425)

NOPAT                                          $23,075

Step 2 - Calculation of free cash flow

NOPAT                                          $23,075

Depreciation                                 $9,250

Changes in working capital         ($6,850)

Capital expenditure                      ($15,250)

Free cash flow                               $10,225

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

At the end of the financial year, manufacturing companies have to assign costs to the goods which they produced in that period. At year end, the production does not stop, therefore, there could be items still in production at reporting date. In order to give as accurate information as possible, the company has to cost the production items with an estimate of the total items produced. Equivalent units of production refer to the summation of items that have been started and completed during the reporting period and the items still undergoing production at their estimated stage of completion. This provides an approximation of the total units of production, had the incomplete items been counted as complete at their estimated stage of completion.

Example: if 3,000 units were started and completed during the period and 2,000 units were in closing inventory at 60% completion, then the total equivalent units of production would be equal to 4,200 units (3,000 + (2,000*60)).

Using the First in First Out Method:

Equivalent units of Production =  Total units completed during the period + Units in Ending WIP

Note1: the question indicates the equivalent units of production for the <u>materials</u> in the Machining Department.

Materials are introduced at the beginning of the production process, making them 100% complete at the end of the period. Equivalent units of production for materials is therefore 12,600(8,600+4000)

Note2: 8,600 from the above calculation consists of:

Opening balance of 6,000 units at 100% completion - Materials

Started and completed during the period 2,600 units -Materials

4,000 units in the closing balance are 100% complete in terms of Materials

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A variety of factors affect development, prenatally and postnatally. A non-biological factor, the drug use by parents before and after child´s birth, affect both.

Explanation:

Drug use before, during and after pregnacy problem outcomes form, both  individual and environmental reasons. Drug prevention and treatment, traditionally  focused on changing individual behaviours have had very limited impact , as the environment hasn´t had necessary change, and the social determinants of  drug use have increased, with exacerbating factors that include cognitive limitations, poor parenting  and low family socio-economic status,  causing the development of  children, not receiving the nutrition and stimulation necessary, to be significantly impeded since the very conception, causing genetic predisposition  to drug use; in neonatal and infancy, the consequence might be to get a child with difficult temperament , in preschool, children could develop early behavioural and emotional disturbances, such as oppositional defiant disorder or, depression ; in primary school, children could be unable to self-regulate emotions and behaviour ; if they get to high school, children may be exposed to drug-using social contexts.
