Answer: The correct answer is a. true.

Explanation: If there is a supply glut and demand is falling, there will definitely be a fall in price. The same principle applies if Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) disagree to cut production, price for domestic crude oil would fall.

The scenario above is similar to the recent happenings regarding the impacts of coronavirus on global economy and is very fresh in our memories. According to the TheNation Newspapers, "oil prices tanked more than seven per cent at the weekend to their lowest levels since mid-2017 after Russia balked at OPEC's proposed steep production cuts to stabilize prices."

OPEC is proposing a cut in oil production, but if this is not done, the impact on Brent would be devastating as the price would fall further.

Harman [31]

Answer:

Planning gap.

Explanation:

Planning can be defined as the process of developing organizational objectives and translating them into action plans or courses of action.

This ultimately implies that, planning is a strategic technique used by organizations to make an aggregate plan for its manufacturing (production) process typically ahead of time, in order to have an idea of the level of goods that are to be produced and what resources are required so as to reduce the total cost of production to its barest minimum.

The planning gap can be defined as the gap between "where we are now?" and "where we want to be?"

Basically, "where are we now?" describe the current situation of things or financial and non-financial activities that a business firm currently holds.

On the other hand, "where we want to be?" is a vision and mission statement that focuses on achieving the goals and objectives set for a business firm.

What are your thoughts about starting out too large to maintain stability, as opposed to
Scrat [10]

I believe that the best method to maintain stability is to <u>start small </u><u>and then </u><u>grow</u><u>. </u>

<h3>Problems with starting out large</h3>
  • Lack of experience in managing problems that may arise.
  • Less loyalty due to upper management being far from lower employees.
  • Less chances of discovering competitive advantage.

When one starts small and grows however, they will be able to deal with problems as they come and gain the experience necessary to overcome such problems.

They will also discover their competitive advantage during growth which they can then leverage on as they grow to become even more competitive. Growth also allows management to be more in tune with lower employees as they would be hired gradually.

In conclusion, starting small and growing is key.

The owner of a bicycle repair shop forecasts revenues of $160,000 a year. Variable costs will be $50,000, and rental costs for t
andre [41]

Answer:

A. $66,000  

B. $66,000  

C. $66,000  

Explanation:

Dollars in dollars out can be easily understood by just deducting cash expenses from the revenue received from cash sales. we can not deduct depreciation expense as it is a non-cash item.

DATA

Revenue = 160,000

Variable cost = 50,000

Rental cost = 30,000

Depreciation = 10,000

Profit before tax = 70,000

Tax (70,000 x 20%) = 14,000

Net Income = 56,000

a) Dollars in minus dollars out

Dollars in minus dollars out  = Revenue - rental costs - variable costs - taxes Dollars in minus dollars out = $160,000 - $30,000 - $50,000 - $14,000

Dollars in minus dollars out  = $66,000  

b) Adjusted accounting profits

Operating cash flow = Net income + depreciation

Operating cash flow = $56,000 + $10,000

Operating cash flow = $66,000

c) Add back depreciation tax shield

Operating cash flow = [(Revenue - rental costs - variable costs) × (1 - 0.2)] + (depreciation × 0.2)]

Operating cash flow = ($160,000 - $30000 - $50,000)*0.8 + $10,000*0.2 Operating cash flow = $66,000
