Answer:
The answer is:
Asset will be overstated
Net income will be overstated
Explanation:
Because of the incorrect capitalization(the process of converting or adding to a firm's asset):
1. Assets are overstated. Assets that shouldn't are added to the entire assets are added. So it's increasing the company's asset whereas it's not.
2. Net income are overstated. Because depreciation too will have to be charged for the asset that wasn't there, therefore, net asset will be overstated.
The question is incomplete:
You are the new manager in an Indian office. You ask one of your supervisors to move a desk and place it in another corner of the office. The next day you notice it has not yet been done. Why?
-The supervisor was offended you asked him/her and refused to do anything about it
-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself
-Because things get done slowly in India
Answer:
-The supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself
Explanation:
India is a society with a high power distance. This means that there is hierarchy, inequality and employees expect directions. Also, decisions tend to be centralized and people in high positions expect privileges and a certain status. Because of that, in this situation the reason for not moving the desk from the options given is that the supervisor could not find a labourer to move it and would not do so him/herself as he/she considers that it is not part of the job as he/she has a higher position that doesn't involve to do that.
The other options are not right as the supervisor would not be offended a this is a culture in which people expect to receive orders and it is not related to things getting done slowly there.
Answer:
Lester Company
The accumulated depreciation amounts for buildings $35,000 and for equipment $60,000 were obtained as the differences between the costs and the book values of the assets. The cost of a long-term asset is usually reduced to its book value by the total amount in the accumulated depreciation account. The accumulated depreciation account shows the progressive amounts set aside annually as a write-off of the asset, showing its use over the period in accordance with the accrual concept and matching principle. The accrual concept and matching principle require cost to be matched to the revenue it helps to generate.

Transferred Assets:
Cost Book Value Difference Explanation
Cash $40,000 $40,000 $0
Accounts Receivable 75,000 68,000 $7,000 (doubtful accounts)
Inventory 50,000 50,000 $0
Land 35,000 35,000 $0
Buildings 160,000 125,000 $35,000 (depreciation)
Equipment 240,000 180,000 $60,000 (depreciation)
Answer:
$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.
Explanation:
From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".
So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.
At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.
Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
Answer: Marginal revenue is -$500.
Explanation: The marginal revenue is calculated as the change in total revenue subtracted by the change in quantity.
Total revenue is calculated by multiplying the price by the quantity:
At a quantity of 20 driveways, the total revenue is = 20 × $10,000 = $200,000
At a quantity of 21 driveways, the total revenue is = 21 × $9,500 = $199,500
Marginal revenue = $199,500 - $200,000
= -$500
