Answer:
c. The "apparent," but not necessarily the "true," financial position of a company whose sales are seasonal can change dramatically during a given year, depending on the time of year when the financial statements are constructed.
Explanation:
Financial statements are used to show the financial activity of a business within a given period.
One of the principles of a accounting is periodicity. This requires businesses to report their financial position at regular intervals consistently, and not in an inconsistent manner. So if a business reports their finances twice a year. At year end and at mid year, it is possible that at mid year due to seasonal sales performance will be high and business is perceived to be highly profitable.
But financial report at end of year in the off-season will show low performance.
So for seasonal businesses there can be apparent view of a business during the year that can change dramatically because of time at which reports are made.
Answer:
Part (a) The net income of carter is $115 million.

Answer:
Under capitalistic economy, allocation of various resources takes place with the help of market mechanism. Price of various goods and services including the price of factors of production are determined with help of the forces of demand and supply. Free price mechanism helps producers to decide what to produce.
The goods which are more in demand and on which consumers can afford to spend more, are produced in larger quantity than those goods or services which have lower demand. The price of various factors of production including technology helps to decide production techniques or methods of production. Rational producer intends to use those factors or techniques which has relatively lower price in the market.
Factor earnings received by the employers of factors of production decides spending capacity of the people. This helps producers to identify the consumers for whom goods could be produced in larger or smaller quantities. Price mechanism works well only if competition exists and natural flow of demand and supply of goods is not disturbed artificially.

Answer:
Realized loss = $5000
Explanation:
The adjusted basis is the net cost of an asset after it has had depreciation deductions and/or capital expenditure increments. In other words, its actual worth at that particular point in time.
The amount realized is the fair market value and the sum of any money received at the sale of an asset.
A realized gain or loss is the difference between the amount realized from the sale of the asset and the asset's adjusted basis on the time of its sale. A positive figure proves to be a gain and a negative figure proves to be a loss. In other words, when an asset is sold for a price higher than what it is actually worth at the time of sale, it is a realized gain whilst if it is sold for a price lower than what its net cost is, it is a realized loss.
In this case,
$50,000 - $55,000 = $(5000)
There is a realized loss for Andrea of $5000 on the sale of this machinery.
