Answer:
No
Explanation:
An independent contractor is a business person or entity who works for an employer based on an agreed-upon contract which affords him the flexibility of choosing how and when he accomplishes a task. The employer has the right to control the results of his work but has little or no say on how and when the job is done.
An independent contractor is not bound to work specific hours dictated by an employer. When the sale's agent finds it difficult to close a deal or is unable to produce paperwork in a timely fashion, he cannot just be arbitrarily penalized by the broker. The broker could terminate the contract if the agent does not meet up to his requirements.
Answer:
Capitalized Expenditures:
2. Added a new wing onto the office building.
5. Had an engine rebuilt in one of their fleet cars.
Explanation:
Capitalization is the process of delaying the full recognition of an expense for the acquisition of a new asset with long-term life so that the costs can be treated as an expense gradually over its useful life through an accounting method known as depreciation or amortization.
The criteria for capitalizing expenditure depend on whether the expenditure is necessary to bring the asset to the condition and location where it can be operated as desired by the management. It must also meet the threshold amount set by management for capitalization. This is because some assets can be used for more than one year and still they are not regarded as capital assets. Example is a stapling machine that costs less than a dollar.
Answer: No, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
Explanation: An increase in demand of hand sanitizers due to the H1N1 flue will shift the demand curve for hand sanitizers to the right. The price of hand sanitizers will increase meaning that greater production levels are profitable. The firms can take advantage of this profitability by increasing manufacturing capacity. However, capacity will be increased for many years and the H1N1 flu is a temporary phenomenon. So, once the H1N1 flu is controlled demand for hand sanitizer is likely to return to previous levels. As a result the increased capacity will then remain idle and unprofitable. So, johnson & johnson should not double its production capacity of their purell hand sanitizer.
Answer:
$5.952
Explanation:
For the computation of expected price of the competitor's stock first we need to find out the P/E ratio of a firm which is shown below:-
P/E ratio of a firm = Stock price ÷ Earning per share
= $14.26 ÷ $1.15
= $12.4
Price of competitor's stock = P/E ratio of a firm × Earning per share
= $12.4 × $0.48
= $5.952
Therefore for computing the expected price of the competitor's stock we simply applied the above formula.
Answer:
b. 6 pairs of jeans per crate of olives; and
c. 4 pairs of jeans per crate of olives
Explanation:
Olives Jeans Trade off Ratio (Olives:Jeans)
Spain 1 3 1:3 or 0.33:1 (1/3 = 0.33)
Denmark 1 11 1:11 or 0.09:1 (1/11= 0.09)
Spain & Denmark have less opportunity cost & hence comparative advantage than each other, in Olive & Jeans respectively.
Spain will export Olives to Denmark (importer). Denmark will export Jeans to Spain (Importer). Trade will be gainful if they get exchange ratio better than domestic exchange ratio.
- '2 jeans pairs per olive crate' not gainful trade ratio for Spain, as it is getting more i.e 3 jeans pair per olive crate at its own domestic ratio.
- '13 jeans per olive' not gainful for Denmark, as 0.07 = (1/13) olive per jeans is worse than its own domestic ratio i.e 0.09 = (1/11) olive per jeans
'4 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 4 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.25 = (1/4) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
'6 jeans pairs per olive crate' is gaining trade ratio for:
- Spain: As it gets 6 i.e more than 3 pairs of jeans per olive crate
- Denmark : As it gets 0.16 = (1/6) i.e more than 0.09 olive crates per pair of jeans
Both of them are gainful trade ratios, but:
- 1olive:4 jeans is more gainful for Denmark, as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (0.25 is more > 0.09 than 4 > 3).
- 1olive:6jeans is more gainful for Spain as it is gaining relatively more than domestic exchange rate (6 is more > 3 than 0.16 > 0.09)
