Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Sometimes the risks posed by a project are deemed unacceptably large compared to the potential benefits, and the ultimate avoidance strategy is to not perform the project at all.
The major reason for risk identification in risk analysis is to know if there are risks that will either cause the project to fail or erase all the potential benefits of the project.
Risks that have been categorized as both high impact and high probability of occurrence will most likely cause a project to be terminated, or to fail if it is continued in spite of the risks identified.
Such projects can only be performed if they somission critical and their impact and probability of occurrence can be reduced

Net income $ 15,953 Net sales 712,855 Total liabilities, beginning-year 83,932 Total liabilities, end-of-year 103,201 Total stockholders' equity, beginning-year 198,935 Total stockholders' equity, end-of-year 121,851 The return on total assets is:
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%

Suppose that when good J is free, buyers will demand 100 units of it, but the quantity demanded falls by 5 units for every $2 increase in the price. If the quantity supplied is fixed at 60 units, the equilibrium price will be: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices $16. $30. $24. $40.
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)

Explanation:
You own a bond that has an 8 percent coupon and matures 8 years from now. You purchased this bond at par value when it was originally issued. If the current market rate for this type and quality of bond is 8.25 percent, then you would expect
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.

Eric Jones develops computer software for a major company. Eric's salary and bonuses total $82,000, but he pays $29,233 in income and Social Security taxes. If Eric's annual debt repayments are $33,620, what is his debt -to-income ratio?
Answer:
0.41
Explanation:
To calculate Eric's debt to income ratio we must divide his total debt payments by his gross income = total annual repayments / (Eric's salary + bonuses) = $33,620 / $82,000 = 0.41
The new qualified mortgage rule establishes that a good debt to income ratio must be 0.43 or less. For other types of credits, banks usually consider a 0.4-0.5 ratio as good or acceptable.
A variable cost a. is synonymous with labor costs b. changes in the same direction and in direct proportion to changes in operation activity. c. changes in the same direction and in inverse proportion to changes in operating activity. d. changes in the opposite direction and in direct proportion to changes in operating activity.
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.
Which is the proper order for distribution of assets upon dissolution of a limited partnership? a. outside creditors; distributions owed to partners; capital contributions; remainder split according to distribution agreement b. outside creditors; limited partners' profits; limited partners' capital; general partners' advances; general partners' profit; general partners' capital c. limited partners' capital; outside creditors; limited partners' advances; general partners' capital and profits d. none of the above
Answer:
from the given options, the answer is b. outside creditors; limited partners' profits; limited partners' capital; general partners' advances; general partners' profit; general partners' capital
Explanation:
This happens usually when the partenrship is dissolved. Then the assets must cover all the obligations the firm has.
it starts from the external creditors, and slowly goes to Limited Partner, who has more right to recieve funds than the general partners. This is because the limited parter is only liable for his amount of contribution.
Only after satisfying all the external obligations the general partners have the ability to pay themselves!
Laveall has created seven global product divisions — fragrances, baby care, batteries, oral care, men's grooming, convenience foods, and detergents — and three marketing divisions — one for North America, one for Asia, and one for Europe . In the context of the systems approach to management, these ten divisions are examples of _____.
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.
Gonzalez Company has 350,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. During the year, Gonzalez declared a 10% stock dividend when the market price of the stock was $30 per share. Four months later Gonzalez declared a $.50 per share cash dividend. As a result of the dividends declared during the year, retained earnings decreased by
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:
Decrease in retained earnings from the cash dividend: $192,500The 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.
Reductions in the size of the customer base and increased usage of supply chain management have led to: a. decreased levels of buyer-seller interaction. b. lower levels of service expectations by buyers. c. poor risk management. d. development of short-term buyer-seller relationships. e. buyers and sellers being more interdependent.
Answer:
E) buyers and sellers being more interdependent.
Explanation:
The internet has completely changed our world in so many ways that few people could imagine that currently you can purchase Coke directly from a Coca Cola factory, you don't even need to go to a supermarket anymore (and the prices are lower). Slowly but steadily, intermediaries are being eliminated, anyone can remember how huge Sears, Kmart, JC Penny, Macy's were just 10 -15 years ago.
Now manufacturers try to sell their products directly or they use Amazon, Ebay or some other website. And customers like that because the prices are lower now. You can go to a Best Buy store and compare prices with Amazon, and if Amazon is cheaper, you leave the store and your TV arrives the next day.

13. What is the effect on Client Q's accounting equation in June when Client Q remits the $5,000? Also, which accounts will be involved?
Assets: Decrease
Liabilities: Decrease
Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity: No Effect
Final answer:
The investment of personal cash into the business increases Assets and Owner's Equity in the accounting equation while Liabilities remain unchanged.
Explanation:
When the owner invests personal cash in the business, this affects the accounting equation in two ways:
Assets increase because cash, which is an asset, is added to the business.Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity increases as well because the investment increases the owner's equity in the business.Liabilities do not change in this transaction since no additional debts or obligations are created.
The accounting equation, which is Assets = Liabilities + Owner's (or Stockholders') Equity, remains balanced after the transaction as the increase in assets is matched by an equal increase in owner's equity.
A monopolistically competitive firm will increase its production if Select one: a. price is greater than average total cost. b. marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost. c. marginal revenue is greater than average total cost. d. price is greater than marginal cost.
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).
Explanation: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.

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.
Explanation: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.
