Answer:

1. Total transformers held by power companies = 532

2. The total units of transformers that OEM needs to hold in the FedEx warehouse = 38

3. The inventory of transformers will go down by 494.

4. The percentage of the decrease = 93%.

Explanation:

Power companies signed up on the rapid replenishment program = 14

Average number of transformers held in safety stock by each power company = 38

Total number of transformers in safety stock = 532 (14 * 38)

Number of transformers needed in the FedEx warehouse = 38

Inventory will go down by 494 (532 - 38)

Percentage of inventory decrease = 93% (494/532 * 100)

Toby and keith are planning to create and jointly own a company that will license their patented technology solely for royalties
salantis [7]

Answer:

D. Limited Partnership

Explanation:

Limited partnership is a form of business where two or more people create an entity and in which the liability of the partners are limited to their initial investment in the business. Limited partnership has benefits of operating a business with combined expertise of two or more people without facing the complex challenges  of operating a corporate corporation.

Since Toby and Keith want an a form of entity that is simple enough to operate a business without creating a product, distribute their earnings without retaining them and not having the intention of raising capital from any other investors, they should consider a limited partnership.

Limited partnership will be perfect  for their need to only share earnings, and not doing other things that a corporate corporation is known for.

Which principle would a company be violating if it withheld information that would make a difference to users of financial state
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Full Disclosure Principle".

Explanation:

  • The idea of full disclosure is a rule that allows a corporation to disclose to any person who is used to reading such material the necessary information about its financial statements and other related information.
  • It states that almost all information would be included in the financial reports (profit and loss account and balance sheet) of an entity that would provide investor's knowledge about the yearly financial position of a firm. The understanding of this concept is extremely judgmental, as the amount of information that could be distributed is potentially significant.

Therefore, this type of principle is highly used by firms.
