Answer: The correct answer is "c. The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory.".
Explanation: Process Costing is a special accounting method to identify and accumulate direct costs and prorate indirect costs of the same manufacturing process.
The statement "The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory." is the most accurate.
Answer:
d. Corporations pay income tax on corporate earnings, and shareholders pay personal income tax on corporate dividends and gains from the sale of stock.
Explanation:
At the end of each accounting period, the corporation is expected to pay a tax known as income tax from the taxable income earned by the corporation. This tax is paid by the corporation before the amount to be paid to the shareholders of the company in form of dividends.
The shareholders of the company are further subjected as individuals to personal income tax.
This is known as double taxation of dividend. Gains from sale of stock are also taxed under personal income tax.
Answer:
Comet's E&P will decrease by $50,000 due to the exchange.
Explanation:
50 of Pam's shares are worth 50 x $1,000 = $50,000, since the corporation is redeeming them, it will do so by decreasing its earnings and profits (retained earnings account).
Generally when larger corporations buy back stocks (AKA treasury stocks), they will credit cash and debit treasury stocks, but since Pam's stocks are being retired, they are not going to be held as treasury stocks, therefore E&P must decrease.
Answer:
Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.
- Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.
Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?
- A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).
Explanation:
we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:
Swiss Rails
add train do not add train
$1,500 / $2,000 /
add train $4,000 $7,500
EuroRail
do not add train $4,000 / $3,000 /
$2,000 $3,000
Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.
EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.
A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.
