Answer:Conduct a Scientific experiment.

Explanation:Product pricing is a process through which the price of a particular product is determined, this can be done through conducting a Scientific experiment involving the target customers to know how much they will be willing to pay for that product and under what circumstances.

Scientific experiment ensures that stepwise or procedural approach is followed in order to specifically get proper and reliable Information from the audience or Customers, it gives a unique Information regarding what you are looking for.

To determine the price point for a software application, you need to conduct primary research to get firsthand information from potential customers, and analyze secondary data from traditional and electronic sources. Conjoint Analysis and Price Sensitivity Meter can be valuable in understanding customers' willingness to pay and perceived value.

To conduct a scientific experiment to determine an appropriate price point for an innovative software application, you would primarily need to perform a market analysis. It would involve primary research such as surveys, interviews or focus groups to gather firsthand information about how much potential customers might be willing to pay.

Next, you'd also want to analyze secondary data, meaning pre-existing data in your field. Traditional sources might include business reports, while electronic sources could be online databases or articles. This would also help you understand under what circumstances customers may be willing to pay different price points.

In your actual experiment, you could consider methods such as Conjoint Analysis or Price Sensitivity Meter (PSM) to understand customers' preferences and their perception of value in relation to the price.

Answer:

b. A debit to Deferred Inflows: Property Taxes; and a credit to Revenues Control.

Explanation:

In accrual accounting revenues and expenses are not recognised till they are earned or incurred.

Deferred revenue is the income for goods that have not been delivered yet. For example if a business made sales of books worth $500 but have not delivered the goods to the buyer, the income realised is credited to deferred income. When the books have been delivered the income can now be recognised and moved to revenue account.

So in the scenario given the property taxes have not been collected yet and Soni's recorded as Deferred inflow from the previous year. When the taxes are collected we debit Deferred Inflow- Property taxes and credit Revenue Control.

The revenue and gross profit are recognized at the completion of the construction contract in 2023, being $10,000,000 and $1,800,000 respectively. The journal entries post debits to Construction in Progress for each year until the job's completion in 2023. The partial balance sheets for 2021 and 2022 show Construction in Progress, Billings on Construction Contract, and Deferred Revenue.

The construction contract between Westgate Construction Company and Santa Clara County is recognized as a point in time recognition contract, meaning that revenue and gross profit are recognized upon the completion of the contract - not gradually during the construction.

For the revenue and gross profit recognition in each of the three years:2021, 2022, no revenue or gross profit is recognized as the project is ongoing.2023, revenue is recognized at $10,000,000 (the contract value), and gross profit is recognized at the revenue value subtracts the total costs of $8,200,000 (=$2,400,000+$3,600,000+$2,200,000), which equals $1,800,000.

For the journal entries:2021: Debit Construction in Progress $2,400,000, Credit Various accounts $2,400,000.2022: Debit Construction in Progress $3,600,000, Credit Various accounts $3,600,000.2023: Debit Cost of Goods Sold $2,200,000 and Accounts Receivable $4,000,000, Credit Construction in Progress $8,200,000, Revenue $10,000,000 and Various accounts $2,200,000.

For the partial balance sheet related to the contract:2021: Current assets include Construction in Progress of $2,400,000 and Billings on Construction Contract of $2,000,000, and current liabilities include Deferred Revenue of $2,000,000.2022: Current assets include Construction in Progress of $6,000,000 and Billings on Construction Contract of $6,000,000, and current liabilities include Deferred Revenue of $6,000,000.

Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

Kevan tax basis is calculated as:

$120,000 + $15,000 + $90,000 + $40,000 - $210,00

Kevin tax basis = $55,000

Using the following illustration

Kevan contributed $120,000 to land

Jerry and Dave both contributed $0

Kevan contributed 15,000 in cash

Jerry and Dave both contributed $245,000 in cash

Kevan Nonrecourse mortgage in excess of the contributed amount to land is $90,000.

Jerry and Dave: $0

This is so because all nonrecourse debt greater than the amount is allocated to Kevan only.

Kevan, Jerry and Dave Remaining Nonrecourse mortgage is $40,000

This is calculated by 33.3% of ($210,000 - $90,000)

Kevan Relief from mortgage debt is $210,000

Jerry and Dave Relief from mortgage debt is $0

Kevan's tax basis in his LLC interest will be $205,000, which is the sum of his cash contribution, the adjusted basis of the land contributed, and his share of the nonrecourse debt.

Under IRS regulations, Kevan's tax basis in his LLC interest will be calculated according to his contribution plus any liabilities he is assuming. Kevan contributed cash and land, which carry different tax implications.

For the cash contribution, Kevan's tax basis is simply the amount of cash contributed which is $15,000. For the land contribution, the tax basis is the amount of adjusted basis (the original cost plus improvements minus depreciation) at the time of contribution plus his share of the nonrecourse debt. The adjusted basis of the land is given as $120,000 and his share of the nonrecourse debt (since each member received 33.33 percent) would be $70,000 (1/3 of $210,000).

Adding these components together, Kevan’s tax basis in the LLC is $15,000 (cash) + $120,000 (adjusted basis of the land) + $70,000 (his share of nonrecourse debt) = $205,000.

Answer: 6.375%

Explanation:

The Lancaster State Bank is thinking about purchasing a corporate bond that has a yield of 8.5%. This bank has a marginal tax rate of 25%.

The after-tax yield on this bond would be 6.375%

Answer:

The after tax yield is 6.375%

Explanation:

The after tax yield is the amount of coupon rate after the tax deduction which will be calculated by this formula:

ATY= i(1- tax Rate)

ATY is the after tax yield

i is the coupon interest rate which is 8.5%

tax rate is the marginal tax which will be adjusted on the rate given to give us the after tax yield so we substitute on the above formula:

ATY = 8.5%(1 - 25%) then we compute on calculator

ATY= 6.375% which is the after tax yield of this bond.

thereafter you get the percentage yield which is the yield of a coupon adjusted for tax.

Terri's classification as an exempt or non-exempt employee under the FLSA will determine her eligibility for overtime pay. Since her job involves training and managerial paperwork, she could potentially meet the criteria for exempt status but more details about her role would be needed to make a clear determination.

The question concerns whether Terri should be paid overtime according to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). If Terri is classified as an exempt employee, she may not be eligible for overtime pay. The FLSA defines exempt status based on job duties, salary level, and salary basis. Given that Terri spends most of her time demonstrating to new employees which is a form of training and a small portion of her time completing managerial paperwork, it could argue for her exempt status. This would include duties such as supervising other employees, having input in the hiring process, and having managerial responsibilities. Since the information provided does not specify Terri's full range of duties or her level of decision-making authority, it's not clear whether she meets the criteria for exempt status under the FLSA. If she is non-exempt, she should be paid for any hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The most accurate answer based on the given information, though subject to further specification of Terri's role, might be that her pay could potentially be consistent with the FLSA if she meets the criteria for an exempt employee.

Answer:If the demand curve and the marginal revenue curve weren't the same curve for a perfectly competitive firm, then the firm would not be resource-allocative efficient.

Explanation: Demand curve is a graphical representation of the rate of change of demand as the price of a product changes.

Marginal revenue curve is a graphical representation of the rate of change of marginal revenueas the production and the quantity of output produced changes.

For a perfectly competitive firm with no market control, the marginal revenue curve is a horizontal line.

FOR A PERFECTLY COMPETITIVE FIRM THE MARGINAL REVENUE CURVE AND THE DEMAND CURVE SHOULD BE THE SAME IF THE FIRM ALLOCATES ITS RESOURCES EFFICIENTLY.

Answer:

Zero economic profits in the long run.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, firms are able to freely enter into, or exit a market.

As more and more firms enter the market, it causes an increase in supply in the long run, which leads to a fall in prices and therefore profits, such that firms will start to earn normal profits or zero economic profits.

In perfect competition, the assumption of easy entry and exit into the market implies zero economic profits in the long run.

In the theory of perfect competition, the assumption of easy entry into and exit from the market implies zero economic profits in the long run. In perfectly competitive markets, when economic profits are positive, new firms will be attracted to enter the market. This increases competition and drives down profits until they reach zero in the long run. Similarly, when economic losses occur, firms exit the market, reducing competition and allowing remaining firms to eventually reach zero economic profits.

DECISION: The manufacturer should build 2 plants in 2 different locations because it gives a lower net present cost

At what initial cost differential from building the two plants will the chemical manufacturer be indifferent between the two options?

The difference in both options came from the fact that variable cost is lower in Europe and building the plant is more expensive. If there is no increase in cost and variable cost is same everywhere, then both options will be same.

The decision for the chemical manufacturer's capacity setup requires analyzing long-run costs, economies of scale, and variable costs against the backdrop of possible currency exchange fluctuations, to determine which option yields the best financial outcome over three years.

The chemical manufacturer is considering two options for capacity setup: building 4 million kg capacity in North America only or splitting the capacity with 2 million kg in each location of North America and Europe. To tackle this, it is essential to evaluate the long-run costs and economies of scale to determine the most cost-efficient option. Given the difference in variable costs between North America and Europe (after converting euros to USD), and the potential changes in exchange rates, a detailed financial analysis should consider the expected net present value (NPV) of both setups using the provided discount factor and exchange rate forecasts.

Furthermore, since the chemical firm is a constant cost industry and production costs are consistent regardless of quantity, the decision primarily revolves around considering the one-time additional cost, differences in variable costs, and the implications of exchange rate fluctuations. An indifference analysis should find the initial cost differential that makes the NPVs of both options equal, by integrating the additional fixed cost and variable costs over the three-year period using the provided probabilities and the discount rate.

Answer:

Alex, Capital account will have a debit balance of $41,250

Explanation:

Partnerships are formed between individuals that come together and pool their resources together to achieve a common goal. They agree to share profits and losses of a business enterprise.

In this case profit sharing is done in a 3:2:3 order.

So for Alex his share of the $110,000 loss will be

Alex's share= (3/3+2+3)*110,000

Alex's share= (3/8)*110,000

Alex's share= $41,250

So this amount will be submitted from Alex's capital account

Final answer:

Alex, Brad, and Carl's capital accounts will be debited for their share of the partnership's $110,000 loss based on the profit-sharing ratio of 3:2:3. The journal entry will include a debit to Income Summary for the full loss and credits to each partner's capital account for their calculated share.

Explanation:

When a partnership incurs a net loss, such as the $110,000 loss described, each partner's capital account must be debited with their share of the loss according to the agreed-upon profit-sharing ratio. In the case of Alex, Brad, and Carl, the profit-sharing ratio is 3:2:3, respectively. To calculate each partner's share of the loss, you would allocate the total loss proportionally.

For Alex and Carl (3/8 of the loss each):

(3/8 of $110,000) = $41,250

For Brad (2/8 of the loss):

(2/8 of $110,000) = $27,500

The journal entry to close Income Summary will include a debit to the Income Summary account for the full amount of the loss, $110,000, and credits to Alex's, Brad's, and Carl's capital accounts for their respective shares of the loss. Thus, the journal entry will look like this:

Final answer:

In rejecting job applicants, provide specific constructive feedback and use an indirect pattern of communication, while avoiding vague explanations and direct comparisons with the hired candidate.

Explanation:

When informing rejected applicants that they were not selected for the accounting position, it is important to be professional and empathetic. Offering specific reasons for not selecting the applicant, without making direct comparisons to the candidate who was hired, can provide closure and opportunities for personal development. Using an indirect pattern of communication can be less harsh, soften the rejection, and maintain a positive image of your law firm. Avoid using vague explanations, as they do not contribute to the candidate’s understanding of the decision and can be frustrating.

Positive feedback and an invitation to apply for future openings can also help mitigate disappointment and preserve a good relationship with potential future employees.

Answer:

Annual demand (D) is 9700 units.

Number of Working days = 300 days per year

Lead time = 5 working days.

Calculate the Re-Order Point (ROP) using the following formula:  

ROP = (Demand per day) x (lead time for a new order in days)  

ROP = d x L

Where,

d = D / Number of working days

Substitute the values in equation (1)

ROP = (D / Number of working days) x Lead time

ROP = (9700 / 300) x 5  

ROP = 161.67

ROP = 162 units

Thus, the Re-Order Point (ROP) is 162 units.

Check the explanation

Explanation:

a. Gains from being nice = $60

reason: outcome for being nice = $100; outcome for being mean = $40 So the gains from being nice = 100 - 40 = 60

b. Average mean server earnings = $40 (given)

Average nice server earnings = $ 100 (given)

  Change in tips per server if all of the servers switch from being mean to being nice = $60 (100 - 40)

c. Individual payoff of my becoming nice = $6

reason: Total number of servers = 10

Change to the tip pool with my change in behavior from mean to nice = $60

My share in this change = 60/ 10 =6

d.  1-I am more likely to be nice when I keep my own tips.

reason: I can keep $100 if I am nice. But in a tip pool, some of the others may be mean. This will bring the pool amount lower, thereby my share may be less than $100. So I prefer to keep my own tips.

In a non-tip-pooling scenario, a server will gain $60 from being 'nice'. In a tip pooling scenario, a server is likely to earn less from being 'nice' unless all servers adopt friendly behavior. As a server, you are more likely to be nice when you keep your own tips, a policy a customer-centric restaurant is likely to adopt.

For the first part of the question, if a server can be 'nice' and earn $100 in tips per shift, or be 'mean' and earn $40 in tips per shift, then the gain from being 'nice' in a non-tip-pooling world will be $60 ($100 - $40).

In a tip pool scenario, if all the servers are mean and earn $40, this is the amount the average server will earn. If all the servers are nice, they will collectively earn $1000 (10 servers x $100) which is then divided equally among all servers, leading to an average earning of $100 per server. The change in tips per server if all of them switch from being mean to being nice will therefore be $60. However, if you're deciding whether to be 'nice' or 'mean', in a shared scenario, your behavior gain from being 'nice' will depend on the collective behavior of the other servers, since earnings are divided equally. The payoff could be less than $60 if not all servers opt to be 'nice'.

As for the question of when you are most likely to be nice, you are more likely to be nice when you keep your own tips. This is because the incentives for being nice in a pooled-tip scenario are less if not all servers demonstrate nice behavior. If a restaurant values customer satisfaction highly, it's likely to let servers keep their own tips to incentivize friendly service.

= Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at August 31 - Allowance for doubtful accounts before adjustment on August 31

= $67,697 - $14,215

= $53,482

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Expected value is the sum of the products of the probability and payoff of each.

Wager 1:

probability of heads and tails, both is 0.5

Win = 440

Loose = 110

So,

Expected Value = 440(0.5) + (-110)(0.5) = 220 - 55 = $165

Wager 2:

Similar to wager 1

Win = 770

Loose = 220

So,

Expected value = 770(0.5) + (-220)(0.5) = 385 - 110 = $275

2nd wager is better, in this sense.

The expected outcome for wager 1 is $165, while for wager 2, it is $275. Therefore, wager 2 is better in terms of expected value.

To determine which wager is better, let's calculate the expected outcome for each wager.

If you choose the first wager, you win $440 if it comes up heads and you lose $110 if it comes up tails.

If you choose the second wager, you win $770 if it comes up heads and you lose $220 if it comes up tails.

Conclusion: The expected outcome for wager 2 is higher at $275 compared to $165 for wager 1. Therefore, in terms of expected value, wager 2 is the better choice.

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Number of wheat sold to Big Ben Bakery = $5,000

Number of hamburger buns sold to Hamburger heaven = $11,000

Buys of beef = $20,000

Number of hamburgers used = 10,000

Selling price for each hamburger = $5

So by considering the above information, the GDP amounted to

= Number of hamburgers used × Selling price for each hamburger

= 10,000 × $

= $50,000

As GDP refers to the value of final goods and services that are to be produced.

Answer:

The second year's depreciation expense using the straight-line method is $10,200

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the income statement based on the estimated useful life of the asset.

Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/estimated useful life

where the salvage value is the estimate of the amount that will be received from the disposal of the asset after its useful life.

Annual depreciation

= ($56,000 - $5,000)/5

= $10,200

Answer:

$10,200

Explanation:

Deprecation is way of expensing the cost of an asset.

Deprecation expense using the straight line depreciation method =( Cost of asset - residual value) / useful life

($56,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $10,200

The depreciation expense each year is $10,200.

Answer:

Answer in explanation

Explanation:

We calculate each of the metrics for the country Alpha using the appropriate formula;

National saving

Mathematically, National saving = Public saving + Private saving

Private saving = Total income - Tax Revenue - Consumption or Y - T - C or household + Business savings = 200 + 300 = 500

Public saving

Mathematically, Public saving = Tax revenue - expenditures = T - G = 220 - (80 + 100) = 40

National saving is thus: 500 + 40 = 540

National saving rate

Mathematically, National saving rate = (National saving * 100)/GDP = (540 * 100)/1800 = 30%

We know that

National saving = Public saving + Private saving

Here

Private saving =  household + Business savings

= 200 + 300

= 500

And,  

Public saving = Tax revenue - expenditures

= 220 - (80 + 100)

= 40

Now  

National saving is

= 500 + 40

= 540

And,  

National saving rate

 = National saving ÷ GDP

= (540 × 100) ÷ 1800

= 30%

In this way, it should be calculated.

Answer:

B) excess insurance

Explanation:

Excess insurance is also known as excess waiver insurance and is amount that will be paid in case of an accident that exceeds normal insurance cover. The amount covered by excess insurance is agreed between the beneficiary and the insurance company.

It protects one against excess charges in cases where a car is stolen or damaged.

For example of you hire a car that has standard insurance, and it is involved in an accident. If the damage is above the limit of insurance cover you will have to pay the rental company the excess for the repairs. Excess insurance covers costs that are high, with some covering up to $6,000.

So if ABC purchases insurance for part of property loss that exceeds $1 million, they are purchasing excess insurance to protect themselves from loss.

Final answer:

Bill spends $400 on 200 bottles of iced tea and uses the remaining $600 from his monthly income to buy 75 servings of spaghetti at $8 per serving.

Explanation:

Bill is facing a typical consumer's budget problem, where he must allocate his income between two goods: iced tea and spaghetti. If Bill spends his entire monthly income of $1,000, we need to calculate how much he spends on iced tea and how many servings of spaghetti he can purchase with the remaining money.

First, let's calculate the amount Bill spends on iced tea. Since he buys 200 bottles of iced tea at $2 per bottle, the calculation is:

Bill spends $400 on iced tea, so the remaining budget for spaghetti is $1000 - $400 = $600. Since spaghetti costs $8 per serving, we can find out the number of servings by dividing the remaining budget by the price per serving:

Licensing proprietary technology to foreign competitors is the best way to give up a firm's competitive advantage-I agree with this statement

Explanation:

when a licensing arrangement is structured in such a way that ir  reduces the risks of a firm's technological know-how being expropriated by licensees, then licensing may be said to be appropiate.

For example : when a firm perceives its technological advantage can be intimated by its competitor ,in such case the company gets its technology licensed before the imitation of its technology occur.By doing so the firm may deter its competitors  from developing their own, possibly superior, technology. And by licensing its technology the firm may be able to establish its technology as the dominant design in the industry. In turn, this may ensure a steady stream of royalty payments.

so we can say that Licensing proprietary technology to foreign competitors is the best way to give up a firm's competitive advantage-I agree with this statement

It is necessary to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of licensing proprietary technology to foreign competitors in order to form a consistent opinion.

For an organization that owns the rights to a certain technology, licensing to other companies may not be a good strategy to gain competitive advantage, as innovation is an essential characteristic for organizational success.

Therefore, technology licensing can be advantageous if an organization has its structure and objectives aligned with providing know-how to other companies, such as a franchise network for example.
