Answer: Capital structure
Explanation: In simple words, capital structure refers to the proportion of different securities that an organisation uses as a combination to fund its operations. In other words, the amount of debt and equity in total capital in hand of the business is termed as capital structure.
Capital structure is of high importance to the investors as it directly impacts the liquidity and profitability of the organisation.
The ability of a company to bear its short term obligation is called liquidity and the ability to generate profit with given amount of resources is called profitability.

Answer:
Small
Explanation:
Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.
When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.
A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.
Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.
In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.
As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
Answer:
The adjusted book balance at August 31 is $13,824
Explanation:
The computation of the book balance is shown below:
= Cash balance + EFT payment on a note receivable + interest on the note - forgot to record check - check printing service fee - NSF check
= $11,667 + $2,830 + $150 - $643 - $80 - $100
= $13,824
The remaining transactions would be adjusted to bank balance
Answer:
Consider the following explanation
Explanation:
a) J. Crew is issuing its catalogs monthly in response to inflation. This will incur cost and it is known as 'Menu Cost'.
b) Grandpa has bought annuity which has promised $10,000 a year for the rest of his life. However, higher than expected inflation means grandpa has lesser purchasing power. This is loss of purchasing power and also 'redistribution cost'. In higher inflation borrower tends to get benefit. Here insurance company is at the gain.
c) Maria is witnessing loss of purchasing power because of hyper inflation. In such scenario, cost keeps rising and product's price could be higher a few hours later. This was witnessed in Germany as well as in Zimbabwe. People run to the stores as soon as they get cash or salary. It is known as 'shoe leather cost'. People make frequent trips to banks or stores but do not keep cash in fear of losing value.
d) Gita actually earned only 5% on her portfolio but as her income is in taxable bracket so she has to pay 20% tax. Her income from portfolio not even compensated inflation. This is a redistribution cost and also known as fiscal drag. More people fall into bracket because higher nominal income but real income is neglected which makes people worse off.
e) Father thinks that son is earning far more than him but inflation over the period of time erodes purchasing power and it could be possible that current income might be lower, same or higher comparing to inflation data. However, if it is lower then it is obviously loss of purchasing power.
