Distribution of assets to the owner and unprofitable operations

Explanation:

Distribution of assets to the owner and unprofitable operations decrease the owners equity. Asset distribution decrease the assets of the company and Equity as well in the same time. The decrease in value of assets will result in the decrease in the value of equity on the other hand. So the correct option is D. Distribution of assets to the owner and unprofitable operations.

Answer:

b. changes in the same direction and in direct proportion to changes in operation activity.

Explanation:

Variable costs are expenses that vary with changes in production level. A variable cost is attached to the production of a particular product or service. An example of variable cost is the raw material expense. As the production level rises, more raw materials will be needed for production.    

The relationship between variable costs and output level is direct and proportional. An increase in output requires more materials and other consumables. As variable costs are associated with the production process, an increase or decrease in production level results in a similar or increase or decrease in variable costs.

This situation demonstrates bargaining power of supplier.

Explanation:

Porter's Five Forces Framework is a method for analyzing competition of a business. It draws from industrial organization economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and, therefore, the attractiveness of an industry in terms of its profitability.

The number and power of a company's competitive rivals, potential new market entrants, suppliers, customers, and substitute products influence a company's profitability. Five Forces analysis can be used to guide business strategy to increase competitive advantage.

Answer:

$16

Explanation:

At $0, demand is 100units.

but for every $2 increase, there is a 5 unit decrease.

When the demand is fixed at 60 units, let price of good J be x

Firstly, we calculate the difference between 100 units and 60 units

we have, 100 - 60 = 40 units

For every $2, increase, demand is minus 5.

thus we calculate how many 5 units there are in 40 units.

we have 40 units ÷ 5 units = 8

SInce every +$2 causes -5 units, we have the price of good J at 60 units fixed demand to be  8 x $2 = $16.

It means at $16, the demand of good J is 60 units.

Alternatively, you could do this,

At $0, demand is 100 units

At $2 (0 + 2), demand is 95 units (100-5)

At $4 (2+2), demand is 90 units (95-5)

At $6 (4 + 2), demand is 85 units (90-5)

At $8 (6 +2), demand is 80 units (85-5)

At $10 (8 + 2), demand is 75 units (80-5)

At $12 (10 + 2), demand is 70 units (75-5)

At $14 (12 + 2), demand is 65 units (70-5)

At $16 (14+ 2), demand is 60 units (65-5)

Answer:

Subsystems

Explanation:

The elements of a system form a whole and can be concepts, objects or subjects; these elements can be living, non-living or both simultaneously, as well as ideas, be they from the field of ordinary, scientific, technical or humanistic knowledge. Ideas cannot be conceived as loose or independent of context or

system in which they are inserted. The interaction between the elements and their organization is what makes the system work.

The systemic approach "admits the need to study the components of a system, but does not limit itself to this. It recognizes that systems possess characteristics that their parts lack, but it aims to understand these systemic properties in terms of the parts of the system and their interactions, as well as in terms of circumstances

environmental. In other words, the systemic approach invites us to study the composition, the environment and the structure of the systems of interest

Every system is or can be part of a larger system that we can call supersystem, metasystem, etc. (that is, or may be, a subsystem) or be composed of subsystems, these are nothing more than smaller systems, which at their time may be composed of even smaller ones, and so we could go on until to reach the most elementary components of everything in the universe. The concept system is valid from a cell to the universe considered as a systems.

Answer:

Subsystems

Explanation:

In the systems approach, subsystems are self-contained systems that operate within a larger and more developed system within an organization or corporation.

Each one of the seven product divisions operates independently from each other, but they are all coordinated by the larger marketing divisions (North America, Asia and Europe). And the corporation's headquarters is responsible for coordinating the marketing divisions.

Answer:

C) to realize a capital loss if you sold  the bond at the market price today.

Explanation:

Your bond will sell at a discount since the market rate is higher than the bond's coupon rate. When a bond sells at a discount its market price is lower than its face value. Since you purchased the bond at its face value, and you sell right now, you will receive less money than what you paid for it.

Answer:

A) The equilibrium quantity of MBAs will equal the socially optimal quantity of MBAs.

Explanation:

No government subsidies, no government taxes, no government anything = free markets = capitalism = fantasy world

Pure capitalism doesn't exist (only semi capitalistic economies), since governments exist and they regulate the economy, tax and transfer money, and spend.

But in a fantasy world where governments do not exist, then the equilibrium quantity of any good or service equals the socially optimal quantity. That applies to every single product or service.

  DEBIT        CREDIT  

    500

   1,200

                        800    

  1,700              800

Balance: 900

We post the inflow in the debit side while the outflow (expenses paid) in the credit side.

Then we subtract one from another and get the balance which is always on debit.

Retained earnings decreased by $192,500 as a result of a $.50 per share cash dividend declared by Gonzalez Company. The 10% stock dividend did not affect retained earnings because it was distributed at par value and only reclassified equity.

When Gonzalez Company declared a 10% stock dividend, it distributed additional shares to its shareholders. Since there were 350,000 shares outstanding and the company declared a 10% stock dividend, this resulted in 35,000 additional shares being distributed (10% of 350,000). The market value of these shares at the time was $30 per share, which results in a total value of $1,050,000 (35,000 shares  imes $30). However, for accounting purposes, stock dividends are not recorded at market value. Instead, they affect the stockholders' equity section by transferring from retained earnings to common stock and additional paid-in capital.

Later, when the company declared a $.50 per share cash dividend, this resulted in a straightforward reduction in retained earnings. With 385,000 shares now outstanding (original 350,000 + 35,000 new stock dividends), the total cash dividend paid would be $192,500 ($.50  imes 385,000). This amount was deducted from Gonzalez Company's retained earnings.

Therefore, to calculate the total decrease in retained earnings as a result of the dividends declared during the year, we only need to consider the cash dividend:

The stock dividend did not decrease the retained earnings because it was distributed at par value, which is accounted for by just rearranging the equity sections without affecting the total retained earnings.

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

An increase in the price of oil will cause the quantity demanded of a commodity to decline and the quantity supplied to increase. This will cause a surplus in the market.

There will be no change in the demand and supply curve.

This is because of the law of demand and supply.

According to the law of demand, the price of a commodity is inversely related to the quantity demanded of the commodity, while other factors are kept constant.

Similarly, the law of supply states that the price of a commodity is positively related to the quantity demanded of a commodity.

The demand and supply curves are not affected by the changes in price, they change as a result of changes in other factors.

Answer:

The return on total assets is 6.28%.

Explanation:

The return on total assets can be found from the following formula:

Return on Assets = Operating Profit / Average assets......Equation 1

And

Average Assets = (Opening Assets + Closing Assets)/2.........Equation 2

As here we are not given Opening assets and closing assets amount but we can find them through the following formula:

Opening Assets = Opening Equity + Opening Liability

Opening Assets = $198,935 + $83,932 = $282,867

Likewise

Closing Assets = Closing Equity + Closing Liability

Closing Assets = $121,851 + $103,201 = $225,052

Putting values in the Equation 2, we have:

Average Assets = ($282,867 + $225,052)/2 = $253959.5

Now by putting values in the Equation 1, we have:

Return on Assets = $15,953 / $253959.5 = 6.28%

A monopolistically competitive firm will increase its production when the marginal revenue (additional income from selling one more unit of a good) is greater than the marginal cost (cost of producing one more unit).

A monopolistically competitive firm is one that sells products that are differentiated from one another in some way. The firm will increase its production when the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost. This is due to the reason that the marginal cost represents the cost of producing one additional unit of a good, while marginal revenue represents the additional revenue that will be earned from selling this additional unit. When marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, the firm can increase profits by producing and selling more, thus the firm will increase production in this scenario.

https://brainly.com/question/34176117

#SPJ6

A monopolistically competitive firm will increase its production when the additional revenue from selling an extra product exceeds the cost of producing it. Specifically, the increase happens where marginal revenue (MR) > marginal cost (MC). Production continues until MR = MC, and if the price is above average total cost, the firm earns profits.

A monopolistically competitive firm, like any profit-maximizing firm, will increase its production when its marginal revenue (MR) is greater than its marginal cost (MC). This basic economic principle holds because any situation where the income gained from selling an additional product (MR) outweighs the cost of producing that extra product (MC) is a profitable situation, and firms naturally want to maximize their profits.

The firm will keep increasing its production as long as the next produced unit adds more to revenue than it adds to cost. Once MR = MC, the firm identifies its profit-maximizing level of output. If the price determined by the market demand curve for that output level is above average total cost, the firm makes positive profits.
