WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

Answer: Yes they will.

Explanation:

With high interest rates, the company will be able to make better returns if they invested the money and took advantage of those interest rates instead of spending the money on their project.

Assets like bonds will be better to go into because they will offer a return based on the higher interest rates which will bring in good returns.

The company is free to use those funds to invest in projects if these projects will lead to a better return than could be gotten from holding bonds but if that is not the case, they should simply buy bonds and hold them for superior returns.

A market order has: a. Price uncertainty but not execution uncertainty. b. Both price uncertainty and execution uncertainty. c.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Price uncertainty but not execution uncertainty.

Explanation:

When talking about trading orders, a market order is executed whether to buy or sell a security at market price. The market order does not follow the security's price at the bid or ask, it usually follows the last price at which the security was sold. Thus, that <em>price is always uncertain.</em>  

The benefit of market order relies on the execution. Traders will not have to wait until another trader is willing to buy or sell at their desired level. The <em>market order will execute the order almost automatically</em> at the price the market has available.

An analysis and aging of the accounts receivable of Hugh Company at December 31 revealed the following data: Accounts Receivable
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

$844,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Accounts Receivable = $900,000

Credit balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts per books before adjustment = $50,000

Expected amount of uncollectible = $56,000

Bad debt expense at the end of the period is determined by subtracting the credit balance of allowance for doubtful accounts from the expected amount of uncollectible.

Bad debt expense:

= Expected amount of uncollectible - Credit balance

= $56,000 - $50,000

= $6,000

At the end of the period, the allowance for doubtful accounts has a balance of $56,000 that are to be uncollectible.

The cash realizable value of the accounts receivable at December 31, after adjustment, is determined by simply subtracting the Allowance for doubtful accounts  from the accounts receivable. It is calculated as follows:

= Accounts Receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts

= $900,000 - $56,000

= $844,000

German companies do not recognize the profit until the project is completely finished and they have been paid. recognize profits
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

German companies do not recognize the profit <u>until the project is completely finished and they have been paid.</u>

Explanation:

German companies prepare their accounting balances under IFRS standards (common for all EU member countries) and German GAAP.

Under IFRS standards, revenue must be recognized when the business satisfies a performance obligation.

German GAAP is very prudent in determining profits, that is why they are only recognized once a project is completely finished and it has been completely paid.

Some specific German rules are to starting to change due to globalization, but others are still subject to legal requirements.

In 2010, real GDP was $13.2 trillion and nominal GDP was $14.6 trillion. What was the GDP deflator for that year?a. 9.6% lower b
serg [7]

Answer:

d. 10.6% higher

Explanation:

Given that;

Real GDP = $13.2 trillion

Nominal GDP = $14.6 trillion

GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP/Real GDP)× 100)

Hence,

GDP deflator = (14.6 / 13.2 ) × 100

GDP deflator = 110.6%

Thus,

= 110.6 - 100

= 10.6% higher

Trevor Company expects sales of Product W to be 60,000 units in April, 75,000 units in May, and 70,000 units in June. The compan
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

65000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Expected sales of product W in April  = 60000 units

Expected sales of product W in May  = 75000 units

Expected sales of product W in June  = 70000 units

Inventory in hand at the end of each month = 40% of the next month's expected sale

Inventory expected at the end of the April = 40% of the expected sales in May

or

Inventory expected at the end of the April = 0.4 × 75000 = 30000 units

Therefore, the total units required in April =  Expected sales of product W in April + Inventory expected at the end of the April

or

the total units required in April = 60000 + 30000 = 90000 units

Now,

Excessive production in March (inventory) = 25000 units

Hence, the units required to be produced in April = the total units required in April - Excessive production in March (inventory)

or

the units required to be produced in April = 90000 - 25000 = 65000 units
