Answer:

A) comparing the return to the return on invested capital obtained by other firms in the industry.

Explanation:

A firm that has developed a competitive advantage over its competitors will to able to either produce the same amount of output using fewer resources, or produce higher output using the same resources than its competitors. A competitive advantage means being more efficient.

So if we want to determine if Zephyr Electronics 18% return on invested capital (ROIC) provides them a competitive advantage over its competitors, we have to compare Zephyr's ROIC with the ROIC of the rest of the major firms in the industry.

Answer:

The answer is: Democratic management style

Explanation:

This management style is based on the belief that two heads are better than one, and that every employee (no matter position they hold) deserves to have a say.

So managers that follow this style usually encourage their employees to participate and share their ideas and suggestions. They tend to create horizontal organizations, but the final and last decision still belongs to the boss.

Employees usually like this system because they feel they are a valuable and important part of the organization. Many times it leads to higher efficiency and productivity.

As a downside, these organizations tend be more messy (informal) and decision making processes are very time consuming.

Illusion [34]

Expected value of the purchase of a ticket would be $3.00.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given,  

Raffle ticket costs = $5.00.  

The prize = $200.  

One hundred tickets are sold = 100 × 5  

                                                  = $500.00  

champ is drawn and given the prize of worth $200.  

                           $500 - $200 = $300  

So the normal estimation of the bought ticket = $3.00  

The expected estimation of the acquisition of a ticket would be $3.00.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer: 15%

Explanation:

IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV equal zero. Required rates of return that are less than the IRR will therefore result in a positive NPV and those that are higher will result in a negative NPV.

Use Excel to find the IRR.

= IRR(-328325,115000,115000,115000,115000)

= 15%

As the required rate of 13% is less than the IRR of 15%, the new machine will have a positive NPV.

ExtremeBDS [4]

How will the general ledger accounts in the trial balance most likely differ if the company were a retail store rather than a wholesale company?

A general ledger account is used to record transactions that a company has. A trial balance has all of the general ledger accounts listed shows all of the debits and credits that a company has faced. A retail store will have smaller product transactions over a wholesale store due to the wholesale store selling in bulk. There will likely be more credits and debits for a retail store whereas a wholesale store may have more debits as they are less likely to have returns.

How will they differ for a hospital or a government unit?

A hospital or government unit will have vastly different general ledger reports due to the type of agency they are. These transactions will deal more with insurance or big dollar companies rather than individuals on a smaller scale. A trial balance is not a financial statement but it used to show balances that an organization has.

A groundskeeper must buy bags of fertilizer. Each bag treats $10000$ square feet of ground and costs $\$27$. The groundskeeper c
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

$162

Explanation:

As we know that

1 square feet = 0.1 square yard

which means

10,000 square feet = 0.1 × 10,000

                                = 1,000 square yards

And, the given cost is $27

So, the cost for 6,000 square yards would be

= (6,000 square yards × $27) ÷ (1,000 square yard)

= ($162,000) ÷ (1,000 square yard)

= $162

We applied the unitary method for above calculation.
