Answer:
Single step income statement
Explanation:
The single step income statement is the simplest form in which an income statement is prepared, e.g.
Revenues:
- Sales revenues $100
- Interest income $20 $120
Expenses:
- Rent expense $30
- Utilities expense $10
- Wages and salaries $60 <u>($100)</u>
Income before taxes $20
Tax expenses <u> ($4.20)</u>
Net income $15.80
A multi-step income statement is more complex, since operating revenues and costs are reported first in order to determine operating income, then other revenues and expenses are introduced and income before taxes is calculated.

Answer:
Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.
Explanation:
Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.
The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.
Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.

Answer:
ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million
Explanation:
According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.
In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.
The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.
