Answer:

price-taking assumption.

free entry assumption.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market is one in which different firms compete for consumers of their products. The characteristics of the perfectly competitive market are:

- products are nearly identical

- all the firms are price takers. That is they are not able to determine price independently

- buyer knowledge of information about products is perfect and available to all

- free entry and exit to the market

- resources are perfectly mobile

In the given scenario above two of these rules are not obeyed.

Alcoa was effectively the sole seller of aluminum because the firm owned nearly all of the aluminum ore reserves in the world.

So they determine the price ( they are not price takers)

Also since they own nearly all the aluminium reserves there is no free entry for new firms

Under an operating lease: (Select all that apply.)Check All That ApplyThe lessee reports amortization expense and interest expen
Alja [10]

Answer:

  • The lessee reports a single amount of lease expense, which is equal to interest expense plus amortization expense, in its income statement.
  • The lessee reports lease expense on a straight-line basis and the lessor reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Explanation:

An operating lease is basically renting an asset from a lessor where the lessee will pay a certain amount every period for the use of the asset.

This rent payment is equal to the interest expense plus amortization expense and will be reported in the income statement of the lessee as an expense.

This amount will also be reported on a straight-line basis for the duration of the lease term which means that even if rent increases, it will still have to be reported by the same amount over the lease period because the lease increase should have been taken into account already.

The lessor also reports lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Privett Company Accounts payable $ 30,000 Accounts receivable 35,000 Accrued liabilities 7,000 Cash 25,000 Intangible assets 40,
erica [24]

Answer:

$113,000

Explanation:

As we know ,

Working capital = Total current assets - total current liabilities

where,

Total current assets = Accounts receivable + cash + inventory + marketable securities + prepaid expenses

= $35,000 + $25,000 + $72,000 + $36,000 + $2,000

= $170,000

And, the total current liabilities = Accounts payable + accrued liabilities + short term notes payable

=  $30,000 + $7,000 + $20,000

= $57,000

Now put the values to the above formula

So, the value would  be equal  to

=  $170,000 - $57,000

= $113,000

The following account balances were extracted from the accounting records of Thomas Corporation at the end of the year:
Savatey [412]

Answer: $1,063,000

Explanation:

Net realizable value is the value of an asset that a company will get when the asset is sold minus the cost that came with the asset sales.

The net realizable value of the accounts receivable will be the accounts receivable of $1,100,000 minus the allowance for uncollectible accounts which was given as $37,000.

= $1,100,000 - $37,000

= $1,063,000
