define biospheredefine biosphere
Answer:
Explanation:
The biosphere (from Greek βίος bíos "life" and σφαῖρα sphaira "sphere"), also known as the ecosphere (from Greek οἶκος oîkos "environment" and σφαῖρα), is the worldwide sum of all ecosystems. It can also be termed the zone of life on Earth. The biosphere is virtually a closed system with regards to matter, with minimal inputs and outputs. With regards to energy, it is an open system, with photosynthesis capturing solar energy at a rate of around 130 Terawatts per year. However it is a self-regulating system close to energetic equilibrium. By the most general biophysiological definition, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships, including their interaction with the elements of the lithosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The biosphere is postulated to have evolved, beginning with a process of biopoiesis (life created naturally from non-living matter, such as simple organic compounds) or biogenesis (life created from living matter), at least some 3.5 billion years ago.
Answer:
the regions of the surface, atmosphere, and hydrosphere of the earth (or analogous parts of other planets) occupied by living organisms.

Firm A is very aggressive in its use of debt to leverage up its earnings for common stockholders, whereas Firm NA is not aggressive and uses no debt. The two firms' operations are identical--they have the same total investor-supplied capital, sales, operating costs, and EBIT. Thus, they differ only in their use of financial leverage (wd). Based on the following data, how much higher or lower is A's ROE than that of NA, i.e., what is ROEA - ROENA?
Applicable to Both Firms Firm A's Data Firm NA's Data
Capital $180,000 ___________ 50% ___________ 0%
EBIT $40,000 Int. rate 12% Int. rate 0%
Tax rate 35%
A) 10.25%.
B) 12.01%.
C) 10.35%.
D) 12.12%.
E) 12.84%.
Answer:
Kindly check the because my below submission is water tight
Explanation:
First and foremost, we need to determine the net income for both companies bearing in mind that the for firm A interest expense is 12% of debt capital whereas debt capital is 50% of total capital of $180,000 since the debt ratio(debt/total capital) of firm of Firm A is 50% and 0% for Firm NA
EBIT=$40,000
tax rate=35%
Firm A:
Debt capital=50%*$180,000=$90,000
Equity=50%*$180,000=$90,000
interest expense=$90,000*12%
interest expense=$10,800
Earnings before tax=$40,000-$10,800=$29,200
net income=earnings before-tax*(1-tax rate)
net income=$29,200*(1-35%)
net income=$18,980
return on equity=net income/equity
return on equity=$18,980/$90,000
return on equity=21.09%
Firm NA:
Equity=$180,000
debt=0%
EBIT=$40,000
no debt, no interest expense
net income=$40,000*(1-35%)
net income=$26,000
return on equity=$26,000/$180,000
return on equity=14.44%
ROEA - ROENA=21.09%-14.44%=6.65%

Gross profit 2,970 3,330 3,142
Gross profit rate 32.5% 36.4% 34.3%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date Description Units Unit Cost or Selling Price Total
Oct. 1 Beginning inventory 50 $22 $1,100
Oct. 9 Purchase 110 24 2,640
Oct. 11 Sale (90) $35 $3,150
Oct. 17 Purchase 90 26 2,340
Oct. 22 Sale (50) 40 2,000
Oct. 25 Purchase 60 28 1,680
Oct. 29 Sale (100) 40 4,000
Total 310 (240) = 70 $7,760 $9,150
Weighted average cost per unit = $25.032
LIFO:
Ending inventory
= (50 * $22) + (20 * $24)
= $1,100 + $480
= $1,580
Cost of goods sold = $7,760 - $1,580 = $6,180
FIFO:l
Ending inventory:
= (60 * $28) + (10 * $26)
= $1,680 + $260 = $1,940
Cost of goods sold = $7,760 - $1,940 = $5,820
Weighted-average costs:
Ending inventory = 70 * $25.032 = $1,752
Cost of goods sold = $7,760 = $1,752 = $6,008

Bengal Co. provides the following unit sales forecast for the next three months: July August September Sales units 4,400 5,100 4,960 The company wants to end each month with ending finished goods inventory equal to 25% of the next month's sales. Finished goods inventory on June 30 is 1,100 units. The budgeted production units for July are:
Answer:
the budgeted production units for July are 4,575 units
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted production units for July are shown below:
= July units + ending units - beginning untits
= 4,400 units + (5,100 × 25%) - 1,100 units
= 4,400 units + 1,275 units - 1,100 units
= 4,575 units

1 points eBookPrintReferencesCheck my workCheck My Work button is now enabledItem 6 Beverly Company has determined a standard variable overhead rate of $3.80 per direct labor hour and expects to incur 0.50 labor hour per unit produced. Last month, Beverly incurred 1,600 actual direct labor hours in the production of 3,300 units. The company has also determined that its actual variable overhead rate is $2.40 per direct labor hour. Calculate the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances as well as the total amount of over- or underapplied variable overhead.
Answer:
$8,700
Explanation:
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual Hours *(Actual Rate - Standard Rate) =
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * ($2.40 - $3.80)
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = 1,600 * $1.40 F
Variable Overhead Rate Variance = $2240 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Rate*(Actual Hours - Standard Hours) =
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80*(1,600 - 0.50*3,300)
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $3.80* 50 F
Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = $190 F
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = Actual Overhead Incurred - Overhead Applied
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = 1600*$2.40 - 3,300*$3.80
Over- or Underapplied Variable Overhead = $3840 - $12540
Overapplied Variable Overhead = $8,700
The I-75 Carpet discount store has annual demand of 85,700 yards for Super Resistant carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of this carpet is $2.25 per yard and the ordering cost is $350. The store is open 52 weeks per year. Assume that the expected value of daily demand is 200, that the standard deviation for daily demand is 4 and that the lead time to fill an order is 11 days. Assume that the EOQ is 5164 yards. What would be the reorder point for a 95% service level?
Answer:
2,421.89
Explanation:
Reorder point = Daily demand*Lead time + Z*STANDARD DEVIATION *√(Lead time)
Reorder point = 300*8 + 1.65*4*√11
Reorder point = 2,400 + 21.8897
Reorder point = 2,421.8897
Reorder point = 2,421.89
So, the reorder point for a 95% service level is 2,421.89.

Answer:
Other things equal, an improvement in the expected rate of net profit would
increase investment spending, real GDP, and the price level.
Explanation:
When the net profit or income improves, the ability of entities to increase their investment spending is enhanced dramatically. The cascading effect improves the real GDP as more investments are made to take advantage of the increased profit rate. Overall, the price level will also increase with increased aggregate demand, coupled with improved investment, employment rate, and improvements in other market indices.

Rodney (a fictional person) was self-employed, running a successful business, seemingly healthy, and never thought he would have financial problems. Being self-employed, he lacked health insurance. One day on the job, Rodney suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized for a week. As a result, he owed more than $100,000 in hospital and medical bills to the hospital. After the heart attack, Rodney could not work in his physically demanding line of work, and his business suffered dramatically. The bills and mortgage payments kept piling up, and Rodney was sinking fast. On top of the medical bills and mortgage, he owed thousands of dollars to multiple companies and creditors. Rodney considered selling his house to get out of the financial crisis he was in, but the value of the house had dropped significantly. After much consideration, Rodney decided to file, bankruptcy. In the end, he decided he would rather have a bankruptcy on his record instead of dealing with a mountain of debt.

Explanation:
In bankruptcy practices, an order for relief invokes the automatic stay. It is a block on Rodney's debts which brings down the iron curtain, thus, separating Rodney's pre-bankruptcy from his post-bankruptcy. It automatically creates a bankruptcy estate, which prohibits all unauthorized transfers of the Rodney's property.
