30- Which one of the following is an example of business goods?

A company has only two divisions: division a and division

Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

EXPLANATION’

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

Booker Corporation had the following comparative current assets and current liabilities: Dec. 31, 2017 Dec. 31, 2016 Current ass

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Liquidity measures for the year 2017 are as under:

Current Ratio = 1.5

Working Capital = $100,000

Acid Test Ratio = 0.95

Accounts Receivables Turnover = 10 times

Inventory turn over = 4 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 ÷ $200,000 $245,000 ÷ $155,000

Current Ratio 1.5 1.6

Working Capital

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 – $200,000 $245,000 – $155,000

Working Capital $100,000 $90,000

Acid Test Ratio

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

($300,000 – $110,000) ÷ $200,000 ($245,000 – $90,000) ÷ $155,000

Acid Test Ratio 0.95 1.00

Accounts Receivables Turnover Times

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening Accounts Receivables + Closing Accounts Receivables) ÷ 2

Average Accounts Receivables = ($55,000 + $95,000) ÷ 2 = $75,000

Accounts Receivables Turnover = $750,000 ÷ $75,000 = 10 Times

Inventory Turnover Times

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) ÷ 2

Average Inventory = ($110,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2 = $100,000

Inventory Turnover = $400,000 ÷ $100,000 = 4 Times

In her research paper, Kirstein copied a few paragraphs from a renowned author's work verbatim without placing them within quota

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Word-for-word.

Explanation:

Word for word plagiarism is seen to be an unethical form of writing where the said student or researcher is seen to copy a fellow researchers works verbatim and particularly word for word with also quotation marks too. In as much as this is a bad form for writers, people are always seen to commit themselves in still doing it. This can cause a lawsuit in some places depending on the researcher whose work is been stolen/copied.

In all, it is been tagged an act of intellectual dishonesty which comes with uneasy consequences when it is done to a wrong person; a plagiarized assignment may lead to a failing grade, a suspension, or an expulsion.

avanturin [10]

All of the following statements are true with regard to qualifying business losses EXCEPT: Qualifying losses from 2017 were carried forward to the taxpayer's 2018 tax return.

Explanation:

The loss would reduce any other eligible income of the applicant for the current year. An investor shall recover the QBI from various trades or businesses, including damages.

Upon deduction of all qualified company gains for the current year, the excess of the income shall be rolled forward to the next tax year. The unfavorable balance shall be shifted into the next fiscal year.

If the loss was incurred after 2018, the excluded or lost element is included in QBI and would otherwise be included in QBI, but is included in taxable income not until the year.
