I believe it all eventually came down to the segment of the consumers that they want to target. Private brands tend to had higher cost of production which will increase the end price for the customers. Since manufacturing company could mass produce, the cost would tend to be lower and reduce the end price for the customers.

Explanation:

For computing the pension liability amount, we need to do apply the formula which is shown below:

= $103,000 - $78,000

You are considering investing $1,000 in a T-bill that pays 0.05 and a risky portfolio, P, constructed with 2 risky securities, X

Leokris [45]

Answer:

% in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

Explanation:

Portfolio return = Weighted average return

Return of portfolio P = 0.14*0.6 + 0.10*0.4

Return of portfolio P = 0.124

Let % money in T bills be x

0.11 = 0.05*x + 0.124*(1-x)

0.11 = 0.05x + 0.124 - 0.124x

0.014 = 0.074x

x = 18.92%

Hence, % in T bills = 18.92%, % in P = 81.08%

On January 2, 2017, Kellogg Corporation acquired equipment for$800,000. The estimated life of the equipment is 5 years or 80,

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Book value of the asset = $484,000

Explanation:

Given:

Equipment cost = $800,000

Residual value = $10,000

Computation:

Depreciation = (Equipment cost - Residual value) / Life

Depreciation = ($800,000 - $ 10,000) / 5

Depreciation = $ 158,000 per year

Depreciation for 2 year =$ 158,000 x 2

Depreciation for 2 year = $316,000

Book value of the asset = Equipment cost - Depreciation for 2 year

Book value of the asset = $800,000 - $316,000

Book value of the asset = $484,000
