Group of answer choices
A. joint venture
B. direct ownership
C. exporting
D. licensing
E. contract manufacturing
Answer:
B. Direct ownership.
Explanation:
Direct ownership is a method of entering a foreign market that has a domestic firm actively managing a foreign company or overseas facility.
Generally, it considered to be a good option when there exist similarities between the domestic and foreign cultures and when political risks associated with the market are very minimal or little.
However, direct ownership is considered to be the riskiest method of entering a foreign market and it typically requires more commitment from the business owner than any other method of entering a foreign market such as joint ventures, exporting, licensing, contract manufacturing, piggybacking, franchising etc.
Explain how accrual accounting differs from cash basis accounting if:A. Prepaid insurance beginning $400B. Payments for insurance during the period $1,200C. Prepaid insurance ending $700
Answer:
Difference between accrual accounting and cash basis accounting:
The insurance expense for the period will be $900 under the accrual accounting basis. But with the cash basis of accounting, the insurance expense for the period will be $1,200 being the amount of insurance paid during the period.
Explanation:
a) Data:
A. Prepaid insurance beginning $400
B. Payments for insurance during the period $1,200
C. Prepaid insurance ending $700
With accrual basis, the insurance prepaid of $400 at the beginning will be accounted as expense in the current year when the services are consumed. The amount would be debited to the Prepaid Insurance account as a current asset. The payments for insurance during the period of $1,200 are also added to the beginning prepayment. Then the prepaid insurance ending of $700 is deducted (credited) to the insurance account to arrive at the insurance expense for the period.
The cash basis accounting will charge the sum of $1,200 as the insurance expense for the period with no regard for the beginning and ending balances of prepayments.
What is the present value of $9,500 payable at the end of 7 years? Use a nominal rate (monthly compounding) of 8.25%.
Answer:
PV= $5,342.89
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $9,500
First, we need to calculate the monthly interest rate (i) and the number of periods (n):
i= 0.0825/12= 0.006875
n= 7*12= 84
To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 9,500/(1.006875^84)
PV= $5,342.89

You are CEO of Eastco, and you recently paid $58,000 or about 2x revenue (well under industry average) to purchase Westco, which makes a product nearly identical to yours. This move will allow you to operate in both regions (East and West) of the country. If you combine the markets, the total Fixed Cost would be $11,000 per month, and your larger purchase size will allow you to advantageous terms for your raw materials, meaning VC will be $4 per unit. Demand and MR in the combined market is as follows:
Qd = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
A) Compute your profit in the combined market. Additional analysis shows that demand and fixed costs are different in the 2 regions. The West has the following demand and Mg:
Qd = 300 - 4P
MR = 75 - 0.5Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the West are $5000/month. While the East is a less price sensitive market:
Qd = 300 - 2P
MR = 150 - Q
Fixed costs associated with operating in the East are $6000/month. The area manager from the East suggests you use a strategy that charges each market a separate price. If you operate in separate markets, the VC associated with each unit is $5.
B) Calculate your profits using this strategy. What is this strategy called?
C) What strategy do you suggest in the Long Run?
Answer:
Profit in the combined market OR Combined profit is
π = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars
Explanation:
NOTE: The second or B part of the question is incomplete hence only answers to A part are provided
(A) The data given are:
TFC = $11,000 /month
TVC = $4 /unit = $4Q
QD = 600 - 6P
MR = 100 - 0.333Q
The data derived from this are:
TC = TFC + TVC = 11,000 + 4Q
PROFIT = TR - TC
TR = ∫MR = ∫(100 - 0.333Q) = 100Q - 0.1665Q²
PROFIT = 100Q - 0.1665Q² - 11,000 - 4Q
PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 11,000 dollars
If the money used to purchase WestCo is factored in, then you'll subtract it from this profit. That will be;
PROFIT = -0.1665Q² + 96Q - 69,000 dollars
Chik’s Chickens has accounts receivable of $6,333. Sales for the year were $9,800. What is its average collection period?
Answer:
235.5 days

Linda installed a special pool for the hydrotherapeutic treatment of severe arthritis, as prescribed by her doctor. The cost of installing the pool was $19,520, and her insurance company paid $4,880 toward its cost. The pool increased the value of Linda's house by $6,832, and it has a useful life of 10 years. How much of a deduction is Linda entitled to in the year of installation of the pool?
Answer:Therefore amount of deductions allowable in year of installation = $7,808
Explanation:
Deductions entitled in the year of installation of pool =Cost of installing pool -insurance cost - the increase in property value
=$19,520- $4,880 -$6,832
=$7,808
Therefore amount of deductions allowable = $7,808
Granite Enterprises acquired a patent from Southern Research Corporation on January 1, 2021, for $3.7 million. The patent will be used for five years, even though its legal life is 20 years. Rocky Corporation has made a commitment to purchase the patent from Granite for $170,000 at the end of five years. Compute Granite's patent amortization for 2021, assuming the straight-line method is used.
Answer:
$706,000
Explanation:
Amortisation is a method used in expensing the cost of a natural resource
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Useful life = 5
cost of the asset = $3.7 million.
Salvage value = $170,000
($3.7 million - $170,000 ) / 5 = $706,000

ABC Inc. manufactures bedding sets. The budgeted production is for 55,000 comforters in 2012. Each comforter requires 7 yards of material. So 385,000 yards will be needed. The estimated January 1, 2012, beginning inventory is $124,000 in material. The desired ending balance is $120,000 in material. If the material costs $4.00 per yard, determine the direct materials budget for 2012.
Answer:
Total direct material cost= $1,536,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
So 385,000 yards will be needed.
The estimated January 1, 2012, beginning inventory is $124,000.
The desired ending balance is $120,000.
The material costs $4.00 per yard.
To determine the direct material budget, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases= production + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Direct material budget:
Production= 385,000*4= 1,540,000
Desired ending inventory= 120,000
Beginning inventory= (124,000)
Total direct material cost= $1,536,000
Temple Company has $500,000 of 9% bonds that pay interest on June 30 and December 31 and have an authorization date of January 1, 2019. The company issues the bonds on March 1, 2019, at par, plus accrued interest.Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.
Answer:
Dr Cash ($500,000 * $103 / $100) $507,500
Cr Bond Payable $507,500
Cr Bond premium $7,500
Explanation:
The bond was issued at 1st March and the interest due is at 31st of December which means that first 2 month interest has been accrued and thus requires journal entry to record:
Dr Interest Expense ($500,000 * 9% * 2/12) $7,500
Cr Interest Payable $7,500
At the issuance date, the price of the bond is $103 and this is the price that was received when the bond was issued, hence the cash collected would be:
Cash Collected = ($500,000 * $103 / $100) = $515,000
$7,500 would be the interest accrued which means:
Cash collected for bond = $515,000 - $7,500 = $575,000
Now the entry would be:
Dr Cash ($500,000 * $103 / $100) $507,500
Cr Bond Payable $507,500
Cr Bond premium $7,500

Compute the amount of assets for Company C on December 31, 2019. (Enter losses amount with a minus sign, wherever required.)
Answer:
= $40,815
Explanation:
For computing the assets first determine the equity for the year 2018 which is shown below:
Equity is
= Total assets - total liabilities
= $28,160 - $15,206
= $12,954
Now the total assets for the year 2019 is
= total liabilities + total equity
= $16,086 + $12,954 + $9750 + $7,900 - $5,875
= $16,086 + $24,729
= $40,815
Consider the following sentence: In order to swim for an hour, Paolo must take time away from work, where he earns $11 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $4 entrance fee for the pool. Which basic principle of individual choice do these statements best illustrate?
Answer: The cost of something is what you give up to get it
Explanation:
The options to the question are:
1.) The cost of something is what you give up to get it
2) Markets are usually a good way to organize economic activity
3) People usually exploit opportunities to make themselves better off.
4) Trade can make everyone better off
This has to do with opportunity cost whereby there's always a trradeoff between two goods. One has to make a choice and leave out one economic decision in order to make another decision.
This can be seen in the question where we were told that In order to swim for an hour, Paolo must take time away from work, where he earns $11 per hour. This is in addition to paying a $4 entrance fee for the pool.
After the USA introduces a tariff in the market for gigastraps, the price of gigastraps in the USA will:
Answer:
I'm not sure what a gigastrap is or if it is just a some term made up for this question, but whenever an import tariff is set, the price of the product will increase. It doesn't matter if it is something simple as sugar, microchips, diamonds, cars, etc. It doesn't even matter if the product can be produced domestically or not, the price will still increase since the domestic producers will increase their price to match the increase in price of foreign goods. This is the reason why sugar is so expensive in the US, since the domestic producers charge extremely high prices because they know there is no way foreign sugar producers can compete with them due to the import tariffs and quotas.

High-End Fashions, Inc., bought a production line of ankle-length skirts last year at a cost of $500,000. This year, however, miniskirts are hot in the market and ankle-length skirts are completely out of fashion. High-End has the option to rebuild the production line and use it to produce miniskirts with a cost of $300,000 and expected revenue of $700,000. How should the company treat the cost of $500,000 of the old production line in evaluating the rebuilding plan
Answer:
the $500,000 that the old production line costed must be treated as a sunk cost. Sunk costs are costs that have already been incurred and the firm cannot recover them no matter what they do. in this case, since ankle-length skirts are out of fashion, the production is useless and is worth $0.
Explanation:
For the past six years, the stock price of Slippery Rock Mining has been increasing at a rate of 6.6 percent per year. Currently, the stock is selling for $73 per share and has a required return of 9.1 percent. What is the dividend yield?
Answer:
2.50%
Explanation:
The dividend yield can be computed by dividing annual dividend by share price. As the dividend is not given in the question, we will find the dividend first by the required return formula and then divide it by share price in order to calculate the yield.
DATA
Annual dividend =?
Growth rate = 6.6%
Share price = $73
Required return = 0.1%
Solution
Required return = (D1/price) + growth rate
0.091 = (D1 / 73) + 0.066
0.025 = D1 / 73
D1 = 1.825
Dividend yield = (D1 / price) * 100
Dividend yield = (1.825 / 73) * 100
Dividend yield = 2.50%
