Answer: Subcontracting production

Explanation:

It is cheaper for ABC Company to subcontract the jobs than to hire and fire workers as needed. Even though the cost is similar when it comes to hiring permanent workers and training them vs subcontracting them, when the company needs to produce less goods, the cost of firing the permanent employees is simply too much.

For instance, 1,000 units out of the 4,000 units in the second quarter cannot be covered by the 30 workers they have. They will need to hire 10 additional workers and training them would cost $30,000. That is the same cost they would incur if they subcontracted (30 * 1,000 units = $30,000).

What happens in quarter 4 however, when they have to let go of 10 employees because production dropped by 1,000 units? They will have to pay $50,000. If they were subcontracting, they would not have to pay a dime. It is therefore better to subcontract.

Samson Corporation sold the following during the year: Two delivery trucks purchased in March 2016 for $78,000 are sold in June

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Truck = Short term capital loss of $8,000

Land = Long term capital gain of $320,000

Machine = Long term capital loss of $125,000

Building = Long term capital gain of $125,000

Net effect Long term capital gain of $125,000

And Short Term Capital Loss of $8,000

Explanation:

As for the provided information we have,

Sale of Trucks within a few months, as purchased in March and sold in June, therefore,

Sale price - Carrying value = $70,000 - $78,000 = -$8,000

Therefore, it is short term capital loss

Sale of land which is 5 years old, therefore, it will be long term.

Sales price - Carrying value = $400,000 - $80,000 = $320,000

Long term capital gain = $320,000

Machines are old and now depreciated, thus it will be long term

Sale price - carrying value = $75,000 - $200,000 = - $125,000 Long term capital loss

Building purchased 8 years ago will be long term in nature, therefore,

Sale price - carrying adjusted basis = $425,000 - $300,000 = $125,000 Long term capital gain.

Final Answer

Truck = Short term capital loss of $8,000

Land = Long term capital gain of $320,000

Machine = Long term capital loss of $125,000

Building = Long term capital gain of $125,000

Net effect Long term capital gain of $125,000

And Short Term Capital Loss of $8,000

A steel manufacturer looking for a technician to oversee their melting process

Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The basic method used for manufacturing silicon chips that are calculated by the transistor's size. Miniaturisation and process automation are at the core of integrated circuits architecture, and this constant target is smaller.

This means greater computational power per cubic inch, and smallness allows for the design of ultra-small chips almost everywhere in the world.

Steel technology has evolved nearer to steel oxygen manufacturing, as there is more chemical power added into the process. The quality of products made from liquid steel is also significant.

The main difference between storage warehouses and distribution warehouses is that storage warehouses are relatively small, spec

Elza [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Storage warehouses are used to store items for short periods of time while distribution warehouses are much bigger facilities that are used to gather and redistribute products.

Distribution warehouses are usually very big and can store a lot of products, while storage warehouses are usually a big facility that is divided into smaller units, each smaller unit serves as a storage warehouse. Storage warehouses are used to store more specific items while distribution warehouses can handle different types of goods.
