Answer:

Replace existing equipment with newer, more efficient equipment. Although this option entails substantial up-front investment, you’re sure that you can more than make up the difference in lower production costs.

Explanation:

The action that is likely to have the highest initial cost in terms of its impact on other parts of the organization is to replace existing equipment with newer, more efficient equipment. Although this option entails substantial up-front investment, you’re sure that you can more than make up the difference in lower production costs. This because buying new equipment will require a big investment from the company at the beginning to cover its costs but this will later generate more productivity and lower production costs which will compensate the initial high cost.

The other options are not right because buying slightly lower-grade materials, including hardwood, aluminum, vinyl, and nylon can decrease the cost at the beginning but the company can have problems with the quality of the products which could be really costly. Also, lay off a portion of your workforce and then try to motivate everyone who’s left to work harder and this option also means selecting future hires from a lower-skill labor pool and paying lower wages will decrease labor costs at the beginning but can require a big investment later with the costs of the process to hire new people, compensations to the employees that were laid off and can also result on low quality job and productivity from lower-skill labor.

ddd [48]

Answer:

the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease.

Explanation:

A deficit can be defined as an amount by which money, falls short of its expected or required value.

Generally, deficit in financial accounting is usually as a result of expense exceeding revenue or revenue falling below expenses at a specific period of time.

For instance, when liabilities exceeds assets or import exceeds export there would be a deficit in the financial account.

Generally, a deficit on the current account ultimately implies that the value of goods and services exported is lower than the value of goods and services being imported in a particular country.

In 2013, government began with a budget deficit and a trade deficit. During the year, the government changed its policy and is now running a budget surplus.

Hence, this change in policy will cause the exchange rate and the trade deficit to decrease if all other factors hold constant

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

To increase asset and expense, you debit while credit decreases it.

To increase, liabity, revenue(income), equity, you credit while debit decreases it.

An insurance that has been prepaid is an asset because the benefit has not been fully utilised.

Samson and Sons has paid for an insurance that will expire December at the beginning of July.

$1,200 for 6 months.

Samson and Sons needs to recognize this as the service is being enjoyed monthly.

Therefore, insurance expense every month will increase by $1,200/6

$200

Remember that expense increase by debit and asset(Prepaid Insurance) decrease by credit.

So we have:

Debit insurance expense $200; Credit prepaid insurance $200

Accumulated depreciation -39,000  Retained earnings        $10,800

Total assets $98,400     Total liabilities and stockholders equity $98,400

We find the retained earning balance by applying the accounting equation which is shown below:

Assets   = Liabilities + common stock + retained earnings

$98,400 = $39,600 + $48,000  + retained earning

So, the retained earning is $10,800
