The correct question is:

Analysts who follow Howe Industries recently noted that, relative to the previous year, the company's net cash provided from operations increased, yet cash as reported on the balance sheet decreased. Which of the following factors could explain this situation?

Select one:

a. ​The company cut its dividend.

b. ​The company made large investments in fixed assets.

c. ​The company sold a division and received cash in return.

d. ​The company issued new common stock.

e. ​The company issued new long-term debt.

Answer:

b. ​The company made large investments in fixed assets.

Explanation:

The operating cash if invested in fixed assets will increase cash flow in the business. Since the cash is not used in production within that period (was invested in long term asset), it will not be represented as cash flow for this period. So reported cash will be low.

Companies invest in long term assets that will produce returns in to future, so cash flow from this investment will appear at a future date.

This question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

​Analysts who follow Howe Industries recently noted that, relative to the previous year, the company's net cash provided from operations increased, yet cash as reported on the balance sheet decreased. Which of the following factors could explain this situation?

Select one:

a. ​The company cut its dividend.

b. ​The company made large investments in fixed assets.

c. ​The company sold a division and received cash in return.

d. ​The company issued new common stock.

e. ​The company issued new long-term debt

The answer is: b

Explanation:

This question is focused on the statement of cash flows for Howe Industries. The statement of cash flows comprises three components: financing activities, operational activities and investing activities. It depicts the cash flowing out of the company and the cash flowing into the company as a result of these activities. The dividend cut would fall under operating activities and the cut would have a positive effect, increasing the cash flows. The proceeds from the sale of the division (investing activity), issuance of common stock (financing activity) as well long-term debt (financing activity) would all increase the cash balance. Therefore, the large investments in fixed assets which would require large capital outlays would be the most likely reason why Howe Industries has a decreased cash balance on its balance sheet.

uestion 31 Oriole Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 114 units at $19 $2166 7 Purchases 399 un
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

$7,714

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of good sold under LIFO method is shown below

But before that following calculations need to be done

Goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory

= 114 + (399 + 57) - 190

= 380 units

Now 380 units sold would include 57 units of July 22 purchases and balance i.e. (380-57)  323 units of July 7 purchases

So, cost of goods sold

= (57 × 22) + (323 ×20)

= $7,714

Coffee Corporation has 2,000 shares of common stock outstanding. John owns 700 of the shares, John’s grandfather owns 100 shares
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1,000 shares

Explanation:

The 318 attribution rule states that stock owned directly or indirectly by a partnership is considered to be owned by any partner that owns 5% or more in the business.

This is relevant to family owned businesses and is a way to mark out principal owners of a business in order to avoid tax evasion and fraud.

In this scenario John directly owns 700 of the outstanding shares. But according to the 318 attribution rule, since he he is a 50% partner he owns half of the outstanding 2,000 shares. That is 1,000 shares.

A large-scale bakery is laying out a new production process for its packaged bread, which it sells to several grocery chains. It
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

840 breads size oven.

Explanation:

According to Little's law,

Inventory = flow rate × flow time

Inventory (I) is the number of flow units that are currently handled by a business process.

I= unknown

Flow rate (R) is the number of flow units going through the business process per unit time.

R= 4200 breads per hour or 70 breads per minute (4200/60)

Flow time (T) is the amount of time a flow unit spends in a business process from beginning to end.

T= 12 minutes.

Inventory = flow rate × flow time

Inventory = 70 breads per minute × 12 minutes

Inventory = 840 breads size oven

Therefore, for the company to produce 4200 breads per minute, 840 breads size oven is required.

a 1000 par value 18-year bond with annual coupons is bought to yield an annual effective rate of 5%. the amount for amortization
marta [7]

The book value of the bond at the end of year 10 is 1,160

What is the basis for determining premium amortization?

The bond premium amortization is assumed to be determined using the straight-line basis such that bond premium amortized in each year is the same for 18 years of bond investment, in other words, the year 10 bond premium amortization of 20 is the same for all other years.

Total premium on bond issuance=20*18

total premium on bond issuance=360

bond price issued price=par value+ premium=1000+360=1360

As at the end of the 10th year, bond premium amortized thus far is 20 multiplied by 10 years

bond premium amortized=20*10=200

book value of the bond at the end of year 10=1360-200

book value of the bond at the end of year 10=1,160
