ruslelena [56]

Answer:

b. Only Emerald Corporation's current ratio will be increased.

Explanation:

Given that

Emerald current ratio is

= 0.5 i.e. = 0.5 ÷ 1

now in case when the current liability is doubles , so the current assets is

= 0.5 + 1 = 1.5

And, the cuurrent liabilities is

= 1 + 1

= 2

so new ratio is

= 1.5 ÷ 2

= 0.75

Now  

Ruby current ratio is

= 1.5

i.e. = 1.5 ÷ 1

Now in case when the current liability is doubled,

the current assets is

= 1.5 + 1

= 2.5

And, current liabilities is

= 1 + 1

= 2

Now new ratio is

= 2.5 ÷ 2

= 1.25

Therefore the emerald current ratio is rised from 0.5 to 0.75

And, the Ruby's ratio has decline from 1.5 to 1.25

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit.

Explanation:

To solve the above question, we need to calculate the incremental profit or loss first. This will be:

= After assembling sales value - Unassembled unit sales value - Coat if further processing

= $87 - $62 - $26

= -$1

Since there is an incremental loss of $1, then the correct answer is "Sell before assembly, the company will be better off by $1 per unit".
