Answer:

See below

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate new stock price.

Current stock price = (Assets market value - debt) / Number of shares outstanding.

= (100 - 40)/10

= $6

Assets value after dividend distribution = 100 - 10

= 90

Number of shares purchased = 10/6 = 1.667 million shares

New stock price = (90 - 40)/(10 - 1.667)

= $7.20

Debt equity ratio = Debt / Equity

Equity = Stock price × number of shares

= $ (7.20 × (10 - 1.667)

= $ (7.2 × 8.33)

= $60

Debt = 40

Debt equity = 40/60 = 0.667 times

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct materials used in production = $250,000

Direct labor = $185,000

Manufacturing overhead = $245,500

Beginning Work in Process Inventory = $20,000

Ending Work in Process Inventory = $30,000

Cost of finished goods manufactured for the year:

= Direct materials used in production + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead + Beginning Work in Process Inventory

= $250,000 + $185,000 + $245,500 + $20,000 - $30,000

= $670,500

The following situations suggest a strength or a weakness in internal control. Identify each as a strength or weakness​, and giv
Mkey [24]

Answer: Options A and C are strengths while options B and D are weaknesses. See explanation below.

Explanation:

a. All employees must take at least five consecutive days off each year.

This is a strength in internal control. This would help to maintain stability in operational process and ensure leave days are effectively utilized. It also prevents staff from taking the leave days in piecemeal and sporadic manner thereby disrupting the operational process and causing team instability. It is also used to ensure leave days are promptly utilised and well accounted for.

b. The accounting department orders merchandise and approves invoices for payment.

This is a weakness in internal control. There should be a check and balance in this regard. In some organizations, proper scrutiny of the vendor and invoice is done by the Procurement Unit and the Expense Control Unit respectively. Even within the accounting department, there is approval hierarchy. Also, the unit within accounting department that is making the order should not be the one to approve the transaction.

c. Cash received over the counter is controlled by the sales​ clerk, who rings up the sale and places the cash in the register. The daily sales are recorded in the accounting records by the accounting department.

This is a strength in internal control as it ensures checks and balances. Fraud and error can be detected through this means. The accounting department should verify the transactions to the relevant supporting document before recording the transaction in the system.

d. The officer who signs checks need not examine the payment packet because he is confident the amounts are correct.

This is a weakness in internal control in the sense that checks signed by the officer is binding in the court of law. The officer cannot claim ignorance if anything goes wrong. There is therefore a need for proper scrutiny and relevant questions asked before checks are signed.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

d.both answers 1 and 3 occur.

That is

a.the company has competencies and capabilities to efficiently sustain its competitive differentiation.

c.the company's competitive advantage grows out of the entire system of activities working together.

Explanation:

In a perfectly competitive market firms have similar products and so they must compete with each other to get market share.

Gaining a competitive advantage is key in surviving within the market.

Differentiation of its products is the first step to success. When a firm's product is differentiated from others it will gain more customer loyalty as the end user identies the product with a particular trait for example high quality.

When the companie's activities are well synchronised the company achieves efficiency which is a competitive advantage of higher output than other firms.
