Answer:  e. The firm is going from its slack season to its peak sales season, so its receivables and inventories will experience seasonal increases.

Explanation:

A company increases it's holdings in short term marketable securities when it has money idle that isn't being put towards anything. It would therefore make sense to invest that money in short term securities to make some sort of profits by way of returns.

When a company is going from it's slack season to its peak season, they will have to use the cash that they have to I crease their inventory so as to better prepare for anticipated increased sales. They therefore cannot be using the cash they have to invest in short term securities making option e. the right answer.

dusya [7]

Answer:

The activity variance for cleaning equipment and supplies in April would be closest to = -$225

Explanation:

Cost formula for cleaning equipment and supplies = $2,540 + $45 per boat

Since the actual level of activity is 11 boats the budgeted costs for 11 boats will be $2,540 + $45*11 = $3,035

Actual costs for the 11 boats = $3,260

Activity variance = Budgeted - Actual activity cost = $3,035 - $3,260

= -$225

Since the actual cost of activity is more than budgeted cost of activity, the activity variance is unfavorable and closest to -$225.
