Answer:

Reduce the suppliers to 2-3 and have long term relationships with them. They should employ an ERP across the functions for better communications

Explanation:

Adidas and Reebok are the two biggest companies in the world that produce sport outfits. Adidas bought over Rebook in 2005 but wanted the new subsidiary to continue to operate under their unique brand name.  

However, there are certain aspects of New Balance’s operations strategy they should change which includes the following;

1. The ecosystems of suppliers they have should be trimmed down to three, for better and effective long-term relationships with the sole aim of cost reduction.  

2. The should also commence the use of Enterprise resource planning (ERP), a business process management software that will help them maintain better communication across functions and be able to always evaluate pipeline to know the varying requests made by customers.

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A.rose making the interest rate fall

Explanation:

According to the liquidity preference theory developed by John Keynes, if the money supply rises, price level also rises, interest rate falls. If interest rate falls, the price of bond rises which would increase capital gains. People would prefer to hold bonds instead of money, therefore, investment spending would rise.

The liquidity preference theory states that we hold money for transactive, speculative and precautionary motives.

2.

Cash                                                     253600 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation               226400 Dr

Loss on Sale                                        17000 Dr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

3.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

4.

Cash                                                    280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation              226400 Dr

         Gain on Sale                                      9400 Cr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

Explanation:

We first need to calculate the carrying value of the equipment at the date of disposal. The carrying value is calculated as follows,

Carrying value = Cost  -  Accumulated depreciation

Depreciation 2019  =  (497000 - 33000) * 83000 / 580000

Depreciation 2019  = 66400

Depreciation 2020  =  (497000 - 33000) * 133000 / 580000

Depreciation 2020  = 106400

Depreciation 2021  =  (497000 - 33000) * 67000 / 580000

Depreciation 2021  = 53600

Carrying value = 497000  -  [ 66400 + 106400 + 53600 ]

Carrying value = $270600

1.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price  -  Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 253600  -  270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = (17000)  Loss

2.

Cash                                                     253600 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation                226400 Dr

Loss on Sale                                        17000 Dr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

3.

Gain or (Loss) on sale = Sales price  -  Carrying Value

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 280000  -  270600

Gain or (Loss) on sale = 9400 Gain

4.

Cash                                                    280000 Dr

Accumulated Depreciation                226400 Dr

         Gain on Sale                                      9400 Cr

         Equipment                                         497000 Cr

shusha [124]

Answer:

(A) Credit Additional Paid in Capital $9,600

Explanation:

As provided earlier, shares of own company were acquired, at a premium, which creates a treasury account with the amount of purchase back of shares.

This is because of the amount paid towards purchase that is for the amount received on purchase.

Further when shares are resold the paid in capital account is credited,

Additional capital to be credited = $11 - $3 = $8 per share

$8 \times 1,200 shares = $9,600

With this amount the balance of additional capital will increase, and thus this account will be credited.

If there is any reversal to treasury stock it will be treasury stock account debit, thus option b) and option d) are completely invalid.

Further cash received = $11 \times 1,200 = $13,200 and not $25,200

Therefore option c) is also invalid.

Therefore, Correct option is

(A) Credit Additional Paid in Capital $9,600
