Sales total = $81,600

Deducting cost of sales = $38,400

Gross Margin = $43,200

Land details:

Selling price = $81,000

less cost = $43,200

Gain on sale = $37,800

Explanation:

a) The gross margin represents the difference between the selling price and the cost price of a good. It indicates profit prior to accounting for operational expenses to determine net income or margin.

It gauges whether the business can generate sufficient income to meet typical operating costs such as rent, utilities, and employee wages.

b) The gain from the sale of any capital asset is the difference between the selling price and the book value (cost). Such a gain is separately presented in the income statement and may be subject to capital gains tax.

Réponse:

Amy possède un avantage absolu dans la production de tartes aux pommes et de glaces.

Amy a un avantage comparatif dans la production de tartes aux pommes.

Brad a un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Amy devrait se spécialiser dans la production de tartes aux pommes, tandis que Brad devrait se focaliser sur la production de glaces.

Explication:

Une personne a un avantage comparatif dans un domaine si elle produit à un coût d'opportunité inférieur par rapport à d'autres individus.

Coût d'opportunité de Brad:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes = 10 / 5 = 2

Pour produire une glace: 5 / 10 = 0.5

Coût d'opportunité d'Amy:

Pour produire une tarte aux pommes: 15/15 = 1

Pour produire des glaces: 15/15 = 1

Amy a le coût d'opportunité le plus bas comparé à Brad pour la production de tartes aux pommes. Ainsi, elle détient un avantage comparatif dans ce domaine.

Brad présente un coût d'opportunité inférieur à celui d'Amy pour la production de glaces. Il possède donc un avantage comparatif dans la production de glaces.

Une personne doit se spécialiser et échanger le produit pour lequel elle a un avantage comparatif.

Un individu a un avantage absolu dans la production d'un bien s'il produit une quantité supérieure à celle des autres.

Amy a un avantage absolu dans la production des deux biens.

Answer 1. The referenced evidence indicates that the organization organized the liquidation in recent years. The absence of interest in R&D during these years probably resulted in significant cost savings for the business. BBB has purchased an increased amount of inventory on credit from suppliers recently, which raises a red flag. Even though there was no expenditure on R&D recently, the CFO of BBB approached the bank to increase the company’s credit limit and has exhausted it without proper documentation. The CFO misleadingly informed lenders about launching new products to secure loans/increase the credit limit. Despite declining sales, the company showed a reduced inventory, which could suggest they may have been offloading assets at cost to an outsider or concealing them to deceive suppliers. With no R&D investment and dwindling prospects, the company could not have generated new offers for funding. Answer 2. Yes, even if bankruptcy is improperly filed, BBB Company still has the option to file for bankruptcy or completely cease operations while taking the savings and proceeds from the sale of its inventory. Creditors and suppliers retain the right to initiate automatic bankruptcy proceedings against BBB if the company does not file. It ultimately depends on BBB Company's discretion in deciding whether to declare bankruptcy under Chapter 7 or 11 of the bankruptcy code, but it is only under Chapter 11 procedures of the bankruptcy court that the intention and unscrupulous tactics of BBB could be established as bankruptcy fraud.
