Answer:

The correct answer is budget slack.

Explanation:

Budget slack occurs in a company when one or more people with budgetary responsibility create a budget that overestimates expenses and / or underestimates projected income or income.

Intentional budget slack can occur because a manager feels under the weapon to "make their numbers", often in response to previous quarters where revenues fell below projections and, more importantly, did not meet expectations of the owners or shareholders.

With a framework in place, controls and risk become more measurable. The ability to measure the enterprise against a set of stan
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a company as a framework to measure risk against, it can properly assess risk in different periods of time, depending of the risk score obtained within the framework.

This helps regulators because they can access an accurate primary information from the company itself (later on, they should probably compare that information against their own standards in order to prevent bias), and it also helps the company because it can see where it stands in terms of risk, which reduces uncertainty.

alexdok [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

Normal goods have positive income elasticity, so when there is an increase in the income of the consumer, the quantity demanded of the normal goods will increase.

On the other hand, the inferior goods have a negative income elasticity. So when the income of the consumer increases the demand for inferior goods decline. This is because as income increases, the consumers will prefer normal goods.

Ponzi Products produced 100 chain-letter kits this quarter, resulting in a total cash outlay of $10 per unit. It will sell 50 of
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information: we are to:

a)  Prepare an income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters. Ignore taxes. (LO1)

An income statement involves depicts the achievement of a certain business over  a period of time .

The income statement for Ponzi for today and for each of the next three quarters is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

We will see that  in the first and the fourth quarter ; the firm neither pay any cash to purchase goods nor collect cash for sales. Thus ; the cashflow will be zero in those instances and we will consider only the second and the fourth quarter for sales income and production cost.

SO:

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(b) What are the cash flows for the company today and in each of the next three quarters?

Cash flow is like a database that helps to keep tracks and records the cash inflows and cash outflows of a financial instrument.

The cash flow in each month is as follows:

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Sales                   $0                  $550              $600             $0

 (-)

cost of goods       0                   $500              $500             $0

sold

Net income           0                  $50                 $100               0

Inventories         $1000          $500                   0                  0

Account

Receivables       0                    550                  600                0

Net working

capital                 $1000          $1050             $600                0

Change in WC   $1000           $50                 $450              $600

CashFlow           $1000          $0                  $550              $600

Hint:

The Cash flow = net income - change in net working capital

The net working capital = Inventory + Account receivables

Quarter 2 sales = 50 × 11 = $550

Quarter 3 sales = 50 × 12 = $600

(c) What is Ponzi’s net working capital in each quarter? (LO1)

The net working capital in each quarter can be illustrated as :

                        Quarter 1      Quarter 2       Quarter 3        Quarter 4

Inventories        $1000             $500              0                    $0

Account recei-    0                   $550              $600             $0

vables

Net working       $1000             $1050           $600               $0
