Note:
Cash is the most liquid of assets.
Accounts receivable which should be collected within 30 to 60 days are less liquid than cash, but more liquid than inventory.
Finished Goods Inventory which is expected to be sold and converted to cash within one year, and Raw Materials Inventory which is expected to be converted to finished good within one year are more liquid than Prepaid expense.
Therefore, the least liquid among current assets’ item above is the Prepaid Expense as it is cash paid for services not yet received..

Bailey Corporation purchased a building on December 31, 2003 for $2,500,000. The building was placed in service on January 1, 2004 and was assumed to have an estimated useful life of 50 years and a zero salvage value. Bailey uses the straight line method for computing depreciation, and all applicable depreciation has been recorded through December 31, 2017. During 2018, an examination of the building by an engineering firm revealed that the remaining estimated useful life is now 15 years. What amount should Bailey record for building depreciation expense in 2018
Answer: $120,000
Explanation:
The annual depreciation will be calculated as:
= Cost/Estimated Life
= 2500000/50
= 50000
The depreciation up to 2017 will be:
= 50000 × 14
= 700000
The book value at the end of 2017 will be:
= Cost - Depreciation up to 2017
= 2500000 - 700000
= 1800000
Then, the annual depreciation with the revised life will be:
= Book Value at the End of 2017/Remaining Life
= 1800000/15
= 120000
Therefore, the amount of depreciation for 2018 will be $120000
Sheffield Corp. has old inventory on hand that cost $21000. Its scrap value is $30000. The inventory could be sold for $70000 if manufactured further at an additional cost of $21000. What should Sheffield do?
Answer:
Sell the inventory for $30000 scrap value
Explanation:
In the first place, if the old inventory is disposed of at $30,000 and cash inflow of $30,000 would be received
However, if manufactured by further by incurring an additional cost of $21,000,the incremental income is computed thus:
incremental income=sales value-scrap value-additional cost
Remember scrap value is a lost benefit if the inventory is processed further and not sold in its current state.
incremental income=$70,000-$30,000-$21000
incremental income=$19,000(less than cash flow when disposed of at scrap value, hence, the inventory should be sold at $30,000)

An asset used in a four-year project falls in the five-year MACRS class for tax purposes. The asset has an acquisition cost of $5,150,000 and will be sold for $1,575,000 at the end of the project. If the tax rate is 22 percent, what is the aftertax salvage value of the asset
Answer:
$1,424,282.40
Explanation:
Missing word "Refer to Table 5 YEAR :20%,32%,19.2%,11.52%"
Book value as on date of sale = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
Book value as on date of sale = $5,150,000*(1 - 0.2 - 0.32 - 0.192 - 0.1152)
Book value as on date of sale = $5,150,000*0.1728
Book value as on date of sale = $889,920
Gain on sale = $1,575,000 - $889,920
Gain on sale = $685,080
After-tax salvage value = Sale proceeds - (Gain on sale*Tax rate)
After-tax salvage value = $1,575,000 - ($685,080*22%)
After-tax salvage value = $1,575,000 - $150,717.60
After-tax salvage value = $1,424,282.40
Why is the Dutch disease also called "a wolf in sheep's clothing"?
PLS HELP :(
Answer:
"A wolf in sheep's clothing" refers to a situation where something that in first glance seems to be good or helpful, ends being bad.
Dutch disease refers to the pernicious effects caused by a significant increase in a country's foreign exchange earnings.
For example, suppose that there is good news like the finding of a lot of a given resource (like gold). Now, if the country's economy depends largely on the trade of gold, the news that a large reserve of gold has been found will likely decrease the price of gold, affecting in this way the economics of that country.
Then, something that at first glance looked nice (finding large quantities of the resource) ended being harmful to the country's economics.
This why there is a parallelism between the Dutch disease and the phrase "a wolf in sheep's clothing"
MC Qu. 93 A company has established... A company has established 5 pounds of Material J at $3 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,500 units of this product, using 7,700 pounds of Material J that cost $21,780.The direct materials price variance is:
Answer:
$255 Favorable
Explanation:
Direct material price variance = (Actual price - Budgeted price) * Actual quantity
Direct material price variance = ($21,780/7,700 - $3) * 7,700
Direct material price variance = ($2.83 - $3) * 1,500
Direct material price variance = $0.17 * 1,500
Direct material price variance = $255 Favorable
If labor productivities were exactly proportional to wage levels internationally, this would A) not negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model. B) render the Ricardian model theoretically correct but practically useless. C) negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model. D) negate the applicability of the Ricardian model if the number of products were greater than the number of trading partners. E) demonstrate the validity of the Ricardian model.
Answer:
A)not negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model.
Explanation:
Trade can be regarded as basic economic concept which involves the buying as well as selling of goods and services, having a compensation that is been paid by a buyer to a seller.
The Ricardian model can be regarded as model that incorporates the standard assumptions of a perfect competition. This model in it's simplest form give assumption of two countries that are producing two goods, but uses one factor of production, the goods here are usually assumed to be identical, or to be homogeneous, within as well as across countries. It should be noted that when there is higher wage, there will be greater number of workers that are willing to work and vice versa, which defined the relationship between wages and productivity. productivity gives the
measurement of how efficiently labor
is been utilized when producing goods and services.
It should be noted that If labor productivities were exactly proportional to wage levels internationally, this would not negate the logical basis for trade in the Ricardian model.

The strategy underlying price discrimination is Group of answer choices to charge higher prices to customers who have good substitutes available to them and lower prices to customers without many substitutes available to them.. to charge everyone the same price but limit the quantity they are allowed to buy. to increase total revenue by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand for the product and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand. to reduce per-unit cost by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand.
Answer:
to increase total revenue by charging higher prices to those with the most inelastic demand for the product and lower prices to those with the most elastic demand.
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
Requirements to practice successful price discrimination
1. The firm must have market power. If the firm does not have market power and attempts to price discriminate they would lose customers
2. The firm must have different elasticities of demand for their product in different markets. the firm should charge the higher price in the market with the less elastic demand.
3. The firm must be able to segment the market for their products
4. the firm's product should have a lot of close substitutes.

Angel Toys is a producer of tiny dolls for children. Following is information about its revenue and cost structure: Assume that the current sales level is 14,000 dolls. What impact would a 10% increase in sales have on income
Answer: D. Income would increase by about 51%
Explanation:
Income before sales increase:
= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
= (8 * 14,000 units) - ( (1.20 + 0.40) * 14,000 units) - (40,000 + 32,000)
= 112,000 - 22,400 - 72,000
= $17,600
Income after sales increase:
New sales = 14,000 * (1 + 10%) = 15,400 units
= (8 * 15,400) - ( (1.20 + 0.40) * 15,400) - (40,000 + 32,000)
= $26,560
Percentage increase:
= (26,560 - 17,600) / 17,600
= 50.9%
= 51%
