b) In an income statement vertical analysis, each line item is calculated as a percentage of the sales, which is itself 100%.  This enables the proportional analysis of all the items to be computed about their financial performance in relation to the sales for the period.  It can help management to dictate unusual items, errors, and other outliers.

c) The balance sheet trend analysis shows whether the entity's financial position is improving or not in relation to the base period.  Each item is compared horizontally across periods.  The calculation of trend uses the amount in the non-base year and divides it by the amount of the base year x 100.

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This should be expensed.

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed.

Explanation:

1. Repainted the office building: This should be capitalized. This is because repainting is a repair that will restore the physical structure of the office building and significantly improve it. Since it is a capital improvement cost, it should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets.

2. Added a new wing onto the office building: This should be capitalized and depreciated like other fixed assets since it is a capital expenditure that significantly added to the structure of the office building.

3. Took their fleet of cars in for servicing (changing the oil, etc.).: This falls under repair and should be expensed.

4. Added newer electronic locks on the doors in the production building: This should be expensed. Cost of locks and keys are ordinary expenses that do not improve the physical structure of the production building.  

5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars: This should be capitalized. It is a tangible improvement to the fleets of cars and this kind of costs fall under capital expenditures.

Gables purchased used Mercedes from a German company. The cars were built for the German market and met its safety and pollution
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: (E) none of the other choices

Explanation:

None of the options are correct in the above question.

The USA extends Most Favoured Nation Status to most countries in the world including Germany so that would not be a reason for the car's not to pass through customs.

The cars could indeed be a threat to national security. Just because they come from a safe country does not mean that they were not tampered with. They need to be properly inspected.

They are indeed a source of competition for US automakers but that would be no reason to stop them. Perhaps tariffs could be applied on them but they will not be stopped.

There is no provision in US Customs practices that prohibits the importation of used cars solely because they are used cars therefore it will not be a reason to halt the car's going through customs.

None of the options are therefore correct.
