opening up new avenues for reducing costs by diversifying into closely related businesses such as direct-to-consumer streaming of media content.
leveraging existing resources and capabilities by expanding into related industries where these same resource strengths were key success factors and valuable competitive assets.
expanding into additional businesses that unlock possibilities for a comprehensive cost enhancement strategy.
expanding into industries whose technologies and products complemented its present media and entertainment businesses.

Answer:
Lower by $8,250
Explanation:
The operating income reported will be different as the unit level of inventory increased during the  account period
.
Denominator rate: 
= Fixed manufacturing costs ÷ Budgeted denominator level
= 18,000 ÷ 2,400
= 7.5
Operative income: 
= Total Units produced - (Total units sold × Denominator rate)
= 2,700 - (1,600 × 7.5
)
= 1,100 × 7.5
= $8,250
Lower by $8,250 under the variable costing because 8250 of fixed manufacturing cost remain in  inventory under absorption.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
Answer this question using YTM, coupon rate, price and par value relationship/rules.
If YTM > coupon rate, then Price < Par value
If YTM < coupon rate, then Price > Par value
If YTM = coupon rate, then Price = Par value
In this case, the assumption is that YTM > coupon rate, hence based on the above rules, the Price or market value of the bond will be < Par value. This makes the statement true.
