Answer:

Old ROI   = 25.5%

New ROI = 28.9%

Explanation:

Current ROI =  Net operating Income/Average Operating Assets

                   = ($ 25,500 /$ 100,000) *100%

                   = 25.5%

Assume manager of the club reduce expenses by $3,400 and variables remained unchanged.

New Net Operating Income = $25,500 + $3,400

                                               =  $28,900

Hence, New ROI = ($28,900/100,000) *100%

                            =28.9%

What are some common motivations of financial statement fraud examination?
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

To support a high stock price, to support a bond or stock offering, or to increase the company's stock price.

Explanation:

The motivation to publish fraudulent financial statements varies depending on the situation. A common theme in many cases of fraud is the attempt to improve the reported financial information to maintain high stock prices, support bonds or stock quotes, or raise a company's stock price. In many companies that published fraudulent financial statements, senior executives held significant stocks or stock options, and lowering the price of the stock would significantly reduce personal net worth or make worthless options. As a result, senior management had to maintain the high share price and therefore needed high returns to maintain the high share price. Investors value reports that increase profits each year. Indeed, the decline in earnings can significantly lower a company's stock price. Sometimes fraudulent financial reports cause line managers to exaggerate the results to meet the company or other expectations. Sometimes the cost of failure in corporate governance is high, and when it comes to choosing between failure and fraud, some managers quickly turn to fraud.

Answer:

The explicit cost of flight includes cost of fuel, maintenance cost, payment to pilot.

Explanation:

The explicit costs are the direct costs incurred during the process of production or business. Here, the payments made to the pilot will be a variable cost, the cost of fuel, etc will be explicit cost.  

The marginal explicit cost is the increase in the explicit cost with an additional output. The incremental cost of flight correctly determines the marginal explicit cost.  

Opportunity cost is the cost of sacrificing the alternative. Here, the marginal opportunity cost will be the revenue that the firm would have earned by renting the flight to other firms or individuals.

Gilberto's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Chicago that sells gluten-free pizzas. Gilberto's very tiny kitchen has ba
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

However, Gilberto's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because his workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Gilberto lets them know how many workers he needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are <u>VARIABLE</u> inputs, and the ovens <u>FIXED</u> inputs.

Explanation:

In the long run, all inputs are variable. E.g. in 5 years Gilberto might build his own pizza place and he will be able to make the kitchen as large as he wants.

But in the short run, some inputs are variable because they can be changed immediately, e.g. the number of workers changes on a weekly basis. While other inputs are fixed, and cannot be changed, e.g. Gilberto has a two yer lease contract for the ovens, so he will continue to use these ovens until the lease expires (in 2 years).

The long run and short doesn't depend on time, but on the ability of being able to change the inputs consumed by a business. The long run might represent 10 years for a company that signed a 10 year lease contract.
