Answer:
There are multiple theories, nobody can be 100 percent sure how but here are 2 main theories:
Explanation:
-Lightning strikes a nearby tree, which catches fire. Frightened but inspired, these cavemen venture out, bring burning sticks back into their cave and learn to use fire.
-They may have used pieces of flint stones banged together to created sparks. They may have rubbed two sticks together generating enough heat to start a blaze.
A. The items that fall under the DIRECT MATERIAL category include the following:
1. Film cost for the X ray machine.
2. Electricity cost for the X ray department.
3. Maintenance and repair on the X ray machine.
4. X ray department supplies.
The items that fall under the DIRECT LABOUR category include the following:
1. Salaries of the X ray machine technician.
2. Salary of the X ray technicians' supervisor.
The items that fall under the SERVICE OVERHEAD category include the following:
1. Wages for the hospital janitorial personnel.
2. Property taxes on the hospital building.
3. Depreciation on the hospital building.
4. Depreciation on the X ray department equipment [Manufacturing overhead]
B. The costs that are incurred during the production of a good or service are usually divided into three categories, which are direct material, direct labour and overhead costs.
Direct materials refer to those materials used in the production process which can be traced to a particular unit or department. A good example of a direct material is the raw materials used in the production unit for the production of a particular product.
Direct labour refers to the salaries and wages of those employees that are directly involved in the production process or in carrying out a particular operation. An example of a direct labour for the production of chocolates is the salary of those workers in the production unit.
Overhead cost refers to all other costs that are incurred during the process of production.These costs can not be traced to a specific department per say, but it cover the whole business unit. Overhead cost is of two types: administrative and manufacturing overheads. Examples of overhead costs are rent, utilities, insurance, depreciation, etc.
Answer:
The straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining-balance depreciation method:
Produce the same total depreciation over an asset's useful life.
Explanation:
The straight-line and the double-declining-balance depreciation methods are two of the four depreciation methods allowed by US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The other two methods are sum of the years' digit and units of production. The straight-line method is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the asset's cost and either dividing the depreciable amount by the number of years or applying a fixed rate on the depreciable amount. For the double-declining-balance method, 100% is divided by the number of years of the asset's useful life and then multiplying by 2 to obtain the depreciation rate. Depreciation expense is then calculated on the declining balance until the salvage value is left. This is why they produce the same depreciation over the asset's useful life.
Answer:
If a firm decreases its sustainable growth rate (g), the price of their stock will probably decrease. I will use the following example:
P₀ = Div₁ / (Re - g)
P₀ = $2 / (12% - 5%) = $28.57
if the growth rate g decreases to 2%, and the rest remains unchanged, then
P₀ = $2 / (12% - 2%) = $20
