Aleksandr [31]

Answer: d. All of these

Explanation:

Objectives are very important in ensuring that a company achieves that which it wants to achieve. With an objective in mind, the company is able to set deadlines that it can work towards to enable it achieve performance results. Without objectives, there would be no aim in sight to work towards which means that performance cannot truly be measured.

Finally with an objective in mind, employees will be spurred towards it which will enable them to try to perform at full potential and deliver the best results so that they may reach the objectives set.

AleksandrR [38]

Answer: Given, the ball bearing market is purely competitive. Also at the current stage the firms in this market are earning positive economic profits.

Therefore , in the long run as adjustments occur in the industry, we can expect the market price of ball bearings to decrease and individual firms' profits to decrease.

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

1) total equivalent units:

materials = 73,000

conversion = 81,500

2) costs assigned to ending WIP:

materials = $23,013.70

conversion = $27,288.32

Explanation:

beginning WIP 78,000 + 10,000 - 73,000 = 15,000

materials = 100% (0 added during the period)

conversion = 30% (70% added during the period, 10,500 EU)

units started 73,000

units finished 78,000

units started and finished = 63,000

ending WIP 10,000

materials = 100%

conversion = 80%, 8,000 EU

Beginning WIP

Materials $24,000

Conversion $35,000

Costs added during the period:

Materials $168,000

Conversion $278,000

total equivalent units:

materials = 73,000

conversion = 10,500 + 63,000 + 8,000 = 81,500

cost per EU:

Materials = $168,000 / 73,000 = $2.30137

Conversion = $278,000 / 81,500 = $3.41104

costs assigned to ending WIP:

materials = 10,000 x $2.30137 = $23,013.70

conversion = 8,000 x $3.41104 = $27,288.32

The Outlet Mall has a cost of equity of 16.8%, a pretax cost of debt of 8.1%, and a return on assets of 14.5%. Ignore taxes. Wha

krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

Cost of equity of 16.8%,

Pretax cost of debt of 8.1%

Return on assets of 14.5%

As per NN proposition: Cost of equity = Return on asset + D/E ratio (Return on asset-Cost of debt)

0.168 = 0.145 + D/E (0.145 - 0.082)

0.168 - 0.145 = D/E (0.064)

0.023 = D/E (0.064)

D/E = 0.023/0.064

D/E = 0.359375

D/E = 0.36

Thus, the debt-equity ratio is 0.36
