Net Income/ (Loss) ($12,300) ($58,300)

Continue with Product Tango. Because it brings a contribution towards the Fixed Costs helping to achieve a smaller loss margin.
Explanation:
From the differential analysis, Fixed costs will remain the same whether the product is discontinued or not. This is because they are centrally controlled. Only the variable costs would change.
Answer:
The first option is correct
Explanation:
So as to have a justifiable reason to issue a management report on internal control, based on Section 404(a) from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the following responsibilities are required from the Management:
• Create and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company
• Provide criteria for evaluators to assess the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting
• Assess the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on management’s evaluation of it, at year-end (i.e., a point-in-time assessment), including disclosure of any material weakness in the company’s internal control over financial reporting identified by management.
Therefore, to have a justifiable reason to issue a management report on internal control under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, management must do everything, except "Establishing a system of internal controls containing no material weakness" as this was not stated under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Hence first option is correct.

Answer:
Correct answer is B, Debit cash $38,800, debit factoring fee expense $1,200 and a credit of Accounts receivable of $40,000
Explanation:
Factoring is one way to raise fund for immediate use of the company. It is a way to sell accounts receivable of the company. The above-mentioned problem is to sell accounts receivable (factored) with the corresponding factoring fee of 3% and that is $1,200 (40,000 x 3%). In effect of this fee, the company will receive cash less than the amount of its accounts receivable sold. The company will record the inflow of cash at $38,800 (40,000 - 3%) and will also recognize an expense incurred during the factoring in the amount of $1,200 and finally will credit the sold accounts receivable in the amount of $40,000.
