Answer:
True
Explanation:
LIFO is in fact, only allowed to be used in the United States, because under the new IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), the used of LIFO has been prohibited.
The reason for this, is that LIFO inflates the value of inventory, because the (usually) lower cost of old inventory is what is reported.
This is why companies using LIFO are obliged to report the hypothetical value of the inventories had they used FIFO.
Answer:
Matching concept
Explanation:
Matching concept states that revenue and cost should be matched with each other in the period they relate.
Answer:
A particular product line is most likely to be dropped when:
- its total fixed costs are more than its contribution margin
- its variable costs are more than its fixed costs
- its unavoidable fixed costs are more than its contribution margin.
Explanation:
The aim of every producer is to maximize profit and to make this possible, the cost of producing a particular product should fall below the contribution margin.
In the case that the gross profit is always negative due to high cost of production, further production should be discouraged.
The decision to drop a particular product line is usually reached when:
- Its total fixed costs are more than its contribution margin: Here, the company will run at a loss. It is sustainable to continue production..
- Its variable costs are more than its fixed costs: This is also an unfavorable situation that does not sustain mass production. Therefore, further production should discontinue.
- its unavoidable fixed costs are more than its contribution margin: At this rate, profit cannot be maximized. It is a lose-lose situation for the company.
Answer:
The correct answer is 8.23%.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation can be done as:
WACC of debt = Respective costs of debt× Respective weight of debt
= (0.4 × 5)
= 2
WACC of preferred = Respective costs of preferred × Respective weight of preferred
= (0.15 × 7)
= 1.05
WACC of common equity = Respective costs of common equity × Respective weight of retained earning
= (0.45 × 11.5)
= 5.175
So, Total WACC = WACC of debt + WACC of preferred + WACC of common equity
= 2 + 1.05 + 5.175
= 8.225 or 8.23 (approx.)
Answer:
B) all factors affecting demand, except income
Explanation:
Ceteris paribus can be used to identify the relationship between two specific variables, while leaving all other factors constant. In this case, since Jeremy is studying the effects of income on the demand (of anything really, not only Greek ceramics), it should affect all factors affecting demand except income. Jeremy is going to analyze how the quantity demanded changes when the income changes, all other things constant.
