Answer:

d. A 24/7 technical support hotline with a team that is knowledgeable about the product and business goals of the company's customers.

Explanation:

The other software companies are already selling their product as a one off sale at retail stores. The president of the software company wants to sell his product as SaaS (software as a service) where customers will pay monthly subscription.

Customers are going to be paying more to use his product so he needs to get a competitive edge and give value that his competitors are not delivering to the customer.

Setting up a 24/7 customer support line with a team that can help the customer meet their business goals will give his product an edge.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

C) 38,000

Explanation:

The estimated warranty liability for 2017:

= [2016 sales x (first + second year warranty costs)] + [2017 sales x (first + second year warranty costs)] - (warranty expenses for 2016 and 2017)

= [$600,000 x (2% + 5%)] + [$800,000 x (2% + 5%)] - ($20,000 + $40,000)

=  $42,000 + $56,000 - $60,000 = $38,000

Rebel Technology maintains its records using cash-basis accounting. During the year, the company received cash from customers, $
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year is $19,500 and $22,800 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Net income under cash basis:

= Received cash from customers - paid cash for salaries

= $43,000 - $23,500

= $19,500

2. Net income under accrual basis:

= Cash received - salary paid

where,

Cash received = Cash owed at the end of the year + cash received - cash owed at the beginning of the year

= $6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000

= $48,600

And, the salary paid = salary owed at the end of the year + salary paid - salary owed at the beginning of the year

= $5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300

= $25,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $48,600 - $25,800

= $22,800

In the short run, which of the following rates of growth in the money supply is likely to lead to the lowest level of unemployme
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

C) 9 percent per year

Explanation:

In the short run an increase in the money supply should increase total output in the economy, decreasing unemployment. Therefore, the larger the increase in the money supply, the larger the decrease in unemployment.

But in the long run it will also increase the inflation rate, increasing the interest rates and producing a boomerang effect which will lower the money supply and increase unemployment.  

The Fed should try to maintain low, stable interest rates, not roller coaster type interest rates.
