Answer:
The Chinese government manipulates market activities for political purposes.
Explanation:
1. At the moment, the Chinese government is still a communist-style government, so the first option is wrong.
2. At the moment elaborate bureaucracy is still present in the Chinese model of governance, with about ten million active civil servants under government control. Hence the second option is wrong.
3. Presently, China has over 96% literacy rates, therefore the last option is also wrong.
Hence, the correct answer is the third option which states that "The Chinese government manipulates market activities for political purposes."

The Better Building Company has a contract to build a building for $100 million. The estimate of the cost of the project is $75 million. In the first year of the project, BB had costs of $30 million. The Better Building Company’s reported profit for the first year of the contract, using the percentage-of-completion method, is:
Answer:
$10 million
Explanation:
Calculation for the reported profit for the first year of the contract
Using this formula
Reported profit=(BB Costs/Project cost estimate)×(Building contract-Project cost estimate)
Let plug in the formula
Reported profit = ($30 million / $75 million)×($100 million – $75 million)
Reported profit=0.4 million ×25 million
Reported profit= $10 million
Therefore the reported profit for the first year of the contract will be $10 million
ierney Company begins operations on April 1. Information from job cost sheets shows the following. Manufacturing Costs Assigned Job Number April May June Month Completed 10 $6,100 $6,200 May 11 5,900 5,800 $3,800 June 12 1,400 April 13 5,100 5,600 June 14 6,800 4,600 Not complete Job 12 was completed in April. Job 10 was completed in May. Jobs 11 and 13 were completed in June. Each job was sold for 25% above its cost in the month following completion. (a) What is the balance in Work in Process Inventory at the end of each month
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the ending balance of the work in process is shown below:
For April month
= $6,100 + $5,900
= $12,000
For May month
= $5,900 + $5,800 + $5,100 + $6,800
= $23,600
For June month
= $6,800 + $4,600
= $11,400
In this way the ending work in process is to be calculated for each month and the same is to be considered
Demand at Nature Trails Ski Resort has a seasonal pattern. Demand is highest during the winter, as this is the peak ski season. However, there is some ski demand in the spring and even fall months. The summer months can also be busy as visitors often come for summer vacation to go hiking on the mountain trails. The owner of Nature Trails would like to make a forecast for each season of the next year. Total annual demand has been estimated at 4,000 visitors. Given the last two years of historical data, what is the forecast for each season of the next year
Answer:
Fall 304
Winter 1,974
Spring 716
Summer 1,006
total 4,000
Explanation:
The historical data is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found this:
Season Year 1 Year 2
Fall 208 243
Winter 1,360 1,574
Spring 509 554
Summer 719 774
total 2,796 3,145
if the forecast for total demand during next year is correct, total demand should increase by [(4,000 / 3,145) - 1] x 100 = 27.186% or 855 more customers.
we must determine the % of total demand per season:
Season Year 1 % Year 2 %
Fall 208 7.44% 243 7.73%
Winter 1,360 48.64% 1,574 50.05%
Spring 509 18.20% 554 17.62%
Summer 719 25.72% 774 24.60%
total 2,796 100% 3,145 100%
the average % for each season:
Fall 7.59% x 4,000 = 303.6 ≈ 304
Winter 49.35% x 4,000 = 1,974
Spring 17.91% x 4,000 = 716.4 ≈ 716
Summer 25.15% x 4,000 = 1,006
total 100%
Who appoints the board of directors in a public stock company?A) AuditorsB) ShareholdersC) EmployeesD) CEOs
Answer:
The answer is B. Shareholders
Explanation:
The owners of the company (shareholders) appoint the board of directors for check and balance and to protect their interests. Appointing board of directors is one of the criteria of good corporate governance.

Simmons sold merchandise to Drafke for $5,000 with payment terms of 2/10, n/30. Two days later, Drafke returned two of the units and received account credit in the amount of $2,000. If Drafke pays his account in full within ten days of the invoice date, what is the amount of the sales discount?
Answer:
The amount of the sales discount is $60.
Explanation:
The with payment terms of 2/10, n/30 imply that Drafke will enjoy 2% discount if he pays within 10 days; but after the first 10 days, the full invoice amount payable will be due for payment in 30 days without the 2% discount.
From the question, we have:
Total credit sales = $5,000
Sales return = $2,000
Net credit sales = Total credit sales - Sales return = $5,000 - $2,000 = $3,000
If Drafke pays his account in full within ten days of the invoice date, he will enjoy the 2% discount rate. Therefore, we have:
Discount amount = Net credit sales * Discount rate = $3,000 * 2% = $60
Therefore, the amount of the sales discount is $60.
