Answer:

1800s up to the 1850s

Explanation:

Simple trade era started around the 1800s up to the 1850s

In the simple trade era, everything was harvested or made by hand. Most of what people produced was meant for consumption within the household. Any excess was traded for other goods. The commodities produced were basic items to meet basic needs. Production was limited; hence there was no need for marketing.

Texarkana Company exchanged equipment that cost $85,000 and has accumulated depreciation of $29,800 and a fair value of $60,000.

viva [34]

Answer:

$4,800

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost = $66,000

Accumulated depreciation = $30,000

Book value = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

= $66,000 - $30,000

= $36,000

Now,

Fair value = $48,000 + $12,000

= $60,000

Thus,

Gain = $60,000 - $36,000

= $24,000

Therefore,

Gain to be recognized = $24,000 × [ 12,000 ÷ 60,000 ]

= $4,800

As indicated in the chapter, return on investment (ROI) is well entrenched in business practice. However, its use can have negat

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

ROI = net profit / total investment

1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division

ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 = 15.06%

2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?

ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) = 14.36%

If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.

3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?

Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.

The income statement of Dolan Corporation for 2012 included the following items:

torisob [31]

Answer:

C) $16,000.

Explanation:

cash paid for insurance premiums = total insurance expense + ending balance of prepaid insurance - beginning balance of prepaid insurance

cash paid for insurance premiums = $15,200 + $3,000 - $2,200 = $16,000

Generally when you purchase an insurance policy you can either pay every month or pay for several months in advance and get a discount. When you pay for several months in advance, you must debit prepaid insurance. Then as time passes, you must accrue insurance expense. For e.g. you pay $2,400 today for a 1 year insurance premium, and at the end of the month you will accrue $200 of insurance expense. But your cash payment was made today.
