The correct question is:
Analysts who follow Howe Industries recently noted that, relative to the previous year, the company's net cash provided from operations increased, yet cash as reported on the balance sheet decreased. Which of the following factors could explain this situation?
Select one:
a. The company cut its dividend.
b. The company made large investments in fixed assets.
c. The company sold a division and received cash in return.
d. The company issued new common stock.
e. The company issued new long-term debt.
Answer:
b. The company made large investments in fixed assets.
Explanation:
The operating cash if invested in fixed assets will increase cash flow in the business. Since the cash is not used in production within that period (was invested in long term asset), it will not be represented as cash flow for this period. So reported cash will be low.
Companies invest in long term assets that will produce returns in to future, so cash flow from this investment will appear at a future date.
It is possible 1 may sell more than the other or may be somewhat equal I would say false because the companies have different strategies they may each do better things than the other in certain aspects. I would say False but I apologize if I am wrong
Answer:
a. $1,765,000
Explanation:
Total stockholder’s equity on December 31, 2013 = Total equity at end 2012 – amount paid for 3,000 shares were reacquired at $28 per share – amount paid for 3,000 shares were reacquired at $35 per share + amount collect from 1,800 shares of treasury stock were sold at $30 per share + net income of $450,000
= $1,450,000 – 3,000 * $28 – 3,000 * $35 + 1,8000 *$30 + $450,000 = $1,765,000

Answer:
Setup time = 2.5 min. per order
Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute
Utilization = 7.5 minutes
Explanation:
The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes
Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes
cooking three orders = 4 minutes
bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes
a) Setup time:
Setup time = 3 - 0.5
= 2.5 min. per order
b) Process capacity:
Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)
= 5.5 minutes
Process capacity = Batch size / Production
= 6 / 5.5
= 1.09 units/minute
c) Utilization:
Batch size = 10
Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)
= 7.5 minutes
