Answer:

B. 1.291%

Explanation:

The computation of the standard deviation is shown below;

= 2000 + 2001 + 2002 +  2003

= 0.5 × 14% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 15% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 16% + 0.5 × 18% + 0.5 × 17% + 0.5 × 19%

= 15% + 16%  + 17% + 18%

= stdev( 15% + 16%  + 17% + 18%)

= 1.291%

Hence, the correct option is b.

Tulip Co. owns 100% of Daisy Co.'s outstanding common stock. Tulip's cost of goods sold for the year totals $600,000 and Daisy's
dsp73

Answer:

Amount to be reported as cost of goods sold in the consolidated financial statement = $900,000

Explanation:

When a company holds 100% shares or more than 50% shares of another company that is common stock, they establish a holding subsidiary relationship in which equity method is to be followed.

As per equity method all the cost of goods sold by that of subsidiary is to be added to financial statements of holding while making consolidated financial statements.

In this if there are any sales or purchase between holding and subsidiary then such profit is not be added up till that inventory is further sold to third party.

In case the inventory is sold to third party then entire profit that is inclusive of holding to subsidiary is to be included as part of consolidated financial statements.

Therefore in the above case since Daisy has sold the inventory purchased from Tulip, entire cost of goods sold shall form part of consolidated financial statements.

Here amount to be reported as cost of goods sold in the consolidated financial statement = $600,000 + $400,000 = $1,000,000

Further the cost of goods sold is included 2 times, first in Tulip's account for $60,000 and then the same in Daisy's account for $100,000. In consolidated statement double amount should not be added, thus net cost of goods sold = $1,000,000 - $100,000 = $900,000

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The correct answer is corporate culture.

Explanation:

Corporate or organizational culture is, basically, the ideology of a company: the set of attitudes, habits, beliefs and behaviors of the human group that makes it up, the way they interact and the way they manage external business transactions.

It can be developed intentionally according to the direction in which the company moves in terms of style, priorities and values, or in a more organic way as a result of the sum of the characteristic features of its members and the nature of the interaction between them.

The culture of a company is reflected in its public image, its dress code, its business hours, its facilities, the benefits of its employees, its sales volume, hiring decisions, the treatment of customers and the degree of satisfaction of them and all other aspects of operations.
