Answer: Machine B

Explanation:

Average rate of return = Average Income / Average Investment

Machine A

= 47,932.64/342,376

= 14%

Machine B

= 85,282.20/284,274

= 30%

Machine C

= 68,037/453,580

= 15%

<em>Machine B has best average rate of return. </em>

NikAS [45]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is:</em>  the organization emphasizes long-term employment.

Explanation:

An inert organizational culture is one that does not seek to adapt to new work processes and trends whose objective is to innovate and facilitate work and processes.

They are usually organizations whose culture is focused on more inflexible and rigid internal policies, whose focus is on the establishment of processes and does not focus on the relationships and integration of workers.

This type of organization focuses on long-term employment, which can culminate in the lack of innovation in personnel, ideas, processes and the improvement of total quality.

. Intellus has long-term debt of $5 million, owners' equity of $7.5 million, current assets of $1 million, gross fixed assets of
stich3 [128]

Answer:

- $0.5 million

Explanation:

The computation of the net working capital is shown below:

We know that

Net working capital = Current assets - current liabilities

where,

Current assets = $1 million

The net fixed assets = Gross fixed assets - Accumulated depreciation

= $20 million - $7 million

= $13 million

Total assets = Current assets + net fixed assets

                    = $1 million  + $13 million

                    = $14 million

And,

Total assets = Total liabilities + owners equity

$14 million = Total liabilities + $7.5 million

So, the total liabilities is

= $14 million - $7.5 million

= $6.5 million

Total liabilities = Current liabilities + long term debt

$6.5 million =  Current liabilities + $5 million

So, Current liabilities is $1.5 million

Now the net working capital equal to

=  $1 million - $1.5 million

= - $0.5 million
