Answer:

c. $30,000 lower

Explanation:

Missing word <em>"Rice Corporation currently operates two divisions which had operating results last year as follows: </em>

<em>West Division Troy Division </em>

<em>Sales $600,000 $300,000 </em>

<em>Variable costs 310,000 200,000 </em>

<em>Contribution margin 290,000 100,000 </em>

<em>Traceable fixed costs 110,000 70,000 </em>

<em>Allocated common corporate costs 90,000 45,000 </em>

<em>Net operating income (loss) $ 90,000 ($15,000)</em>

<em>Options are: a. $15,000 higher, b. $45,000 lower, c. $30,000 lower, d. $60,000 higher"</em>

Particulars                                         Amount

Contribution margin                          $100,000

Less: Traceable fixed costs              <u>$70,000</u>

Segment margin of Troy Division   <u>$30,000</u>

The operating income would been $30,000 less without the segment margin contributed by the Troy Division. Hence, If the Troy Division had been eliminated at the beginning of last year, Rice Corporation's operating income for last year would have been $30,000 lower.

A country has a noninstitutionalized population of 243 million people. out of that number, 38 million are under the age of 16 70
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The answer is 60%

Explanation:

Labor force is the total number of people that have job(employed) and the number of people who are willing, able and actively searching for job(unemployed) in a population.

Labor force participation rate is calculated by dividing the labor force by the noninstitutionalized population.

Labor force = employed + underemployed + unemployed

= 96 + 31 + 8

=135 million

So we have:

(135 ÷ 243) x 100 percent.

60% (the nearest whole percentage)

PharmY, Inc., is a U.S. GAAP reporter that is in the pharmaceutical industry. In the current year, PharmY incurred expenditures
Whitepunk [10]

Answer with Explanation:

Tangible assets fall under the scope of International Accounting Standard IAS-36 Property, Plant and Equipment which says that assets that qualify following conditions, must be capitalized:

  • Assets that have life expectancy of more than a year.
  • Benefits of the Assets are controlled by the entity that will flow towards the company.

Now here, the life expectancy of laboratory equipment is unknown and also that we don't know if the asset can be resold in the market or not. This means, if the asset has life expectancy is no more than a year and that the future benefits will flow towards the company then it must be capitalized otherwise it must be expensed out as per the guidelines of International Accounting Standard IAS-38 Intangible Assets, which says that the research cost prior to the development expenditure must be expensed out.

The other two costs are revenue expenditure and must be expensed out under the name research and development cost as per the guidelines of IAS-38.
