Answer and explanation:

For-profit businesses are mainly created to fulfill entrepreneurs' interests but it does not imply that all organizations do not take a look at the social impact they can cause. Health care groups, for instance, are very profitable entities around the world but they carry with the major responsibility of providing good medical assistance to the individual where the medical centers operate.

Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year. At the end of th

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: 4%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Pension plan assets were $1,200 million at the beginning of the year and $1,252 million at the end of the year and that at the end of the year, retiree benefits paid by the trustee were $28 million and cash invested in the pension fund was $32 million.

Based on the above scenario, the percentage rate of return on plan assets goes thus:

Opening balance of plan assets 1200

Add:- Actual return = 48

Add:- contributions = 32

Less :- retiree benefits = -28

Closing balance of plan assets = 1252

It should be noted that the actual return is the balancing figure which is calculated as:

= 1252 + 28 - 1200 - 32

= 48

The percentage rate of return on plan assets will now be:

= 48/1200

=0.04

= 4%

The annual carrying cost for a consumer product is $115, the ordering cost is $1,150, and the annual demand is estimated to be 1

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Store should take the advantage of discount.

Explanation:

Economic order quantity is the level of units ordered which minimize the total cost.

The economic order quantity (EOQ) is computed by applying the following formula

EOQ = [ ( 2DO ) / H ]^1/2

where D = Annual Demand in units = 1,000

S = Setup or ordering cost = $1,150

H = Holding or carrying cost per unit, per year = $115

EOQ = [ ( 2 x 1,000 x $1,150 ) / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = [ $2,300,000 / $115 ]^1/2

EOQ = 20,000^1/2

EOQ = 141.42 units

Cost of EOQ

Purchasing cost = 1,000 x $810 = $810,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 141.42) x $1,150 = $8,132

Carrying cost = ( 141.42 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,132

Total cost = $810,000 + $8,132 + $8,132 = $826,264

Cost of Discount

Purchasing cost = 1,000 x $810 x 80% = $648,000

Ordering cost = (1,000 / 151) x $1,150 = $7,616

Carrying cost = ( 151 / 2 ) x $115 = $8,683

Total cost = $648,000 + $7,616 + $8,683 = $664,299

Store should take the advantage of discount because it incurs lower cost.

Andru [333]

Answer:

The correct answer is Gain or loss on the sale of equipment as part of continuing operations.

Explanation:

If a gross profit on sales is generated in the process of selling an item of property, plant and equipment, but additional expenses are also incurred, the only thing that is recognized in the income statement is the net profit.

Among the accounts of the income statement, only one record is made with the net profit that occurred in the process of the sale of the asset. Although the final effect on the income statement is the same as it had under the old regulatory framework, it can be said that with that single record among the income statements, what is sought is that high gross income and expenses are not shown high, as this could distort the different financial analyzes that will be carried out at the end of the year.
