Answer:
Cullumber Company
Journal Entry:
Debit Loss on Goodwill Impairment $34,200
Credit Goodwill $34,200
To record the loss on goodwill impairment.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculation:
Fair value = $820,800
Carrying value of net identifiable assets, including goodwill = $855,000
Goodwill impairment = $34,200 ($855,000 - $820,800)
b) Cullumber, which acquired Blossom is expected to check for the impairment of goodwill yearly. The impairment occurs when the carrying value of the net identifiable assets of Blossom is more than the fair value of Blossom. Generally Accepted Accounting Standards require the annual review of the fair value of goodwill to check for its impairment. By the above entry, the goodwill will be reduced by $34,200 and a loss debited in Cullumber's accounts.
Answer:
a.
Explanation:
Every customer matters, not only should a company focus on her seemingly high-value customers but also on their seemingly low-value customers.
Hence to ensure the retention of their customers and not lose them to competitors, the company should use the customers' data record to provide special retention offers for them to continue as customers.
Every dollar counts, and no customer can be said to remain forever or leave soon, therefore each of these customers should be treated equally to maximize profit for the company both now and in the long run.
Answer: True
Explanation: The matching principle is used to compute capitalized costs by companies and it records expenses in the same period as the related revenues by matching the cost of an asset to the time periods in which it is used, and is therefore generating revenue.
Capitalized cost is also given as the present worth of cash flows which go on for an infinite period of time. In other words, the worth of cash flows does not leave the company when items are purchased. This is because the monetary value is retained in the form of a fixed or intangible asset.
The capitalized cost of any investment can be determined using the equation, P = A/i. Where P is the capitalized cost, A is the annual amount and i is the interest rate.
Answer:
d. 301,000
Explanation:
Given that the cost per textbook is $27, we know that the addition of variable and fixed Cost gives total cost.
We will multiply variable cost per textbook of $20 with current volume of book sold per year 43,000, which gives a total variable cost of $860,000.
Also, total cost would be 43,000 multiplied with $27 , which is $1,161,000 minus the total variable cost of $860,000 equals $301,000 which is the associated fixed cost.
Answer:
B) High, low
Firms and brands that continually attempt to operate in the <u>HIGH</u> price / <u>LOW</u> benefits quadrant do not survive over the long run as customer trust is Damaged.
Explanation:
Many times new products have a very short life because companies believe that they can charge very high prices because they are innovations, but they forget to provide the corresponding benefits of a very high price. Usually short living fads result from this strategy, because the customers will demand more for their money and if the product doesn't satisfy them, they wouldn't purchase it again. And with all the social networks we have today, gossip (and videos) about bad products travel extremely fast.
