Answer:

A) Prepaying the debt would cause the firm's debt-to-equity ratio to improve from .62 to .50.

Explanation:

The computation of the impact is as follows:

The Debt equity ratio is

= Total liabilities ÷ total equity

Now

Debt equity prior to payment is

= $16,000,000 ÷ $26,000,000

= 0.62

And,

Debt equity after payment is

= $13,000,000 ÷ $26,000,000

= 0.50

So here as we can see that the debt equity would be improved from 0.62 to 0.50

Therefore the correct option is a.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer: D. Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers

Explanation:

The important factors that Sara will consider to know whether her company can accommodate the request are:

• Whether her company has enough paper on hand

• Whether her company can print the additional flyers without negatively affecting the other projects

• Whether there is enough time to print the additional flyers by tomorrow.

These factors above are important as they'll determine if she can accept the request or not. For example, in a situation where there's no enough paper, then the request should not be accepted.

The least important factor for Sara to consider will be "Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers". This is not of concern to Sara and shouldn't bother her.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This should be expensed.

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed.

Explanation:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized. This is because repainting is a repair that will restore the physical structure of the office building and significantly improve it. Since it is a capital improvement cost, it should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets since it is a capital expenditure that significantly added to the structure of the office building.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This falls under repair and should be expensed.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed. Cost of locks and keys are ordinary expenses that do not improve the physical structure of the production building.  

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized. It is a tangible improvement to the fleets of cars and this kind of costs fall under capital expenditures.

Suppose the price of apples goes up from $20 to $22 a box. In direct response, Goldsboro Farms supplies 1,200 boxes of apples in
OLga [1]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Price elasticity measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded or supplied of a good to a change in its price. It is computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded—or supplied—divided by the percentage change in price.

Elasticity can be described as elastic—or very responsive—unit elastic, or inelastic—not very responsive.

Elastic demand or supply curves indicate that the quantity demanded or supplied responds to price changes in a greater than proportional manner.

An inelastic demand or supply curve is one where a given percentage change in price will cause a smaller percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.

Unitary elasticity means that a given percentage change in price leads to an equal percentage change in quantity demanded or supplied.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

Steve Jobs coming back, Innovations, and Tim Cook taking over as COO

Explanation:

The fluctuations in stock prices of a company are due to improved performance of the company in meeting it's objectives and perception that the business will do better in the future.

In the given scenario there was an initial increase in Apple’s stock price from $27.97 to $702.10, an increase of 25 times.

This can be attributed to the return of Steve Jobs as the CEO of Apple. There was a confidence boost by his coming back. Also there were various innovations like: iPhone, iMac, iPod, and iTunes. These improved the performance and by extension share price of Apple.

However when Tim Cook took over as COO he reduced production by half resulting in stock price decrease by 37% from its peak in September 2012 until the end of March 2013, from $702.10 to $442.66.
