Answer:

C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Explanation:

Patent acquisition date is 2010

Cost of acquisition = $50 million

Initial Useful life = 20 years

Annual amortization = $50,000,000/20

                                  = $2,500,000

Between 2010 and start of 2013 is 3 years

Carrying value at the start of 2013

= 50,000,000 - 3(2,500,000)

= $42,500,000

If patent would be received over a total period of 8 years rather than the 20-year legal life being used to amortize the cost,

Patent amortization expense in 2013 = $42,500,000/8

                                                              = $5,312,500

This can be estimated as $5 million.

The right option is C) Patent amortization expense of $5 million.

Igoryamba

Answer:

$4,908,000

Explanation:

The computation of accumulated depreciation expense for this purchase is shown below:-

Depreciation expense = ((Cost of machine - Salvage) ÷ Estimated useful life of machine)

= (($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ 15) × 2

= $36,810,000 ÷ 15 × 2

= $4,908,000

Therefore for computing the depreciation expense we simply applied the above formula.

Barbara Smith is an employee of Allied Manufacturing Company. She has an 8-hr workday and each day is paid $0.60 for each unit p
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

$309

Explanation:

The computation of the gross earning for the week is as follows:

Given that

Payment of $7.15 × 8 = $57.2  or payment of  each unit produced whichever is greater

On monday

= 90 units × $0.60

=  $54

But the greater is $57.2

On tuesday

= 114 units × $0.60

=  $68.4

On Wednesday

= 82 units × $0.60

= $49.20

But the greater is $57.2

On thursday

= 112 units × $0.60

= $67.20

On friday

= 98 units × $0.60

= $58.80

Now the earnings for the last week is

= $57.20 + $68.4 + $57.20 + $67.20 + $58.80

= $308.80

= $309

Define the concept management from functional perspective and clearly explain each of its
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Management refers to the ability or art of setting objectives, organizing, motivating the people resources, devising systems of measurement, and building human capacity towards the attainment of all organization objectives.

Explanation:

1. Defining Objectives: This flows down from the Founder and Chief Vision Officer. The objectives of an organization is the purpose for which an organization was set up. An example could be to give people living with a disability the opportunity to live inclusively, attaining their highest selves.

2. Organizing: When objectives are taken and put in form of goals, these goals are devolved through to management in the form of achievable tasks who then delegate them to staff. The process of ensuring that each staff know their tasks, who they are accountable to, and work together harmoniously is called Organising.

3. Motivating team: It is not enough to have human resources. It is critical that they be willing to work together, harmoniously and happily. This way, the company enjoys the highest performance possible.

4. Defining Performance Indicators

What is not measured can not be managed. Performance Indicators are systems of measurement that enable the organization to keep track of whether or not the goals are being met and in what measure they are.

5. Building Capacity

Organizations that build leaders the fastest are the ones that win. Building human capacity is the equivalent of upgrading machinery or opting for higher manufacturing technology in the industrial age. People are able to solve problems to the extend that they know how to. The more they know, the better and faster they are at solving such problems. Hence, increasing organizational competency and effectiveness.

Use the following information to answer the question. There are three firms in an economy: X, Y, and Z. Firm X buys $200 worth o
Kamila [148]

Answer:

$2,775

Explanation:

The computation of the GDP of the economy is given below:

But before that the total value sold by three firms would be determined

Total amount of goods sold by X:

= X sells to Y + X sells to Z

= $150 + $75

= $225

Total amount of goods sold by Y:

= Y sells to X + Y sells to Z

= $200 + $50

= $250

Total amount of goods sold by Z:

= Z sells to X + Z sells to Y

= $300 + $250

= $550

Now

Amount of goods generated by X

= units of output × cost per unit

= 250 units ×  $4

= $1,000

Value of goods generated by Y

= units of output × cost per unit

= 300 units ×  $6

= $1,800

Value of goods generated by Z

= units of output × cost per unit

= 500 units ×  $2

= $1,000

Now GDP is

= [Goods generated by X - Valued added by X] + [Goods generated by Y - Value added by Y] + [Goods generated by Z - Value added by Z]

= [$1,000 - $225] + [$1,800 - $250] + [$1,000 - $550]

= $775 + $1,550 + $450

= $2,775
