Answer:

The answer is:

$105,000 (B)

Explanation:

The weighted average accumulated expenditure (WAAE) is the average depth that is incurred during a business year. It is a combination of the amount spent in asset construction purposes and if loans were taken, the interest rate that accumulated within that same time period.

Next, you have to know what interest capitalization is; Interest capitalization is the accumulated interest on on borrowed amount for construction assets that are for future use.

Next, we nee to know what Capitalization period is; it is the period during which interest costs are incurred on amounts spent to construct an asset in progress. Interests are capitalized during construction until the asset is ready for its intended use. For the purpose of calculation, it is represented as the period of time for which the depth will be incurred over the construction year. for example for a year starting in January 1 to December 31, if $200,000 was borrowed, the capitalization period will be represented as "12/12" meaning that the incurred debt was owed for 12 out of 12 monts, if the same amount was borrowed in May, capitalization period will be represented as "8/12"meaning that the interest was owed for 8 out of 12 months. Now, for our example, the construction year began on April 1 and ended on December 31 (8 months), hence the capitalization periods for the amount taken in April one is "8/8", for July 1 is "5/8" and October 1 is "2/8", meaning that in October the debt was incurred for 2 out of 8 months.

So to calculate the weighted average accumulated expenditure, we need to know; the date of the transaction, the expenditures made, and the capitalization period.

Hence the WAAE is calculated as Actual Expenditure ×  Capitalization Period which is written thus:

                       

Date          Actual Expenditure          Capitalization period        WAAE

April 1         $30,000                                   8/8                            $30,000

July 1          $60,000                                   5/8                            $37,500

October 1   $ 150,000                                 2/8                           $37,500

Total                                                                                              $105,000

Criteria for forming segments involve both similarities and differences. In terms of the needs of buyers, the similarities must
kirill [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is within; among.

Explanation:

Market segmentation is used by companies to separate the target audience with which they want to work. Considered as a market phenomenon, the technique consists of defining the marketing strategy by identifying the target market.

Segmenting this market means dividing it so that consumers are grouped according to a series of characteristics, needs or preferences. It is important that a segment has people with homogeneous factors and these depend on the objective of segmentation.

This separation into groups of consumers allows the company to identify and privilege one or more segments according to a range of objectives or products.

The segmentation process requires that the criteria that affect or influence purchase decisions be identified. There are various segmentation criteria: social, geographic, demographic, economic, social, lifestyle, and many others.

Normally, in a market segmentation it is necessary to address several of the criteria to better guide the marketing actions to follow. The more aspects that are used to characterize an audience, the easier it will be to develop a marketing strategy.

There is no way to think about segmenting a target audience without knowing what characteristics it needs to have in order for the strategy to be correctly defined.

Depreciation expense  = $20,000      Movement in Account      Depreciated account: -       $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000 - $60,000

Gain on sale of investment       $(10,000)

Loss on sale of kit    =  $2,000

Increase in deferred taxes  =   $8,000

Increase in assets   $(40,000 )  An increase should be deducted because it implies that not all sales were received in cash

Increase in inventory   =  $(50,000 ) a rise is deducted because cash was invested in inventory

Decrease in prepaid expenses      $4,000  A decrease are going to be added because no all expenses were paid in cash

Increase in accounts payable $63,000 a rise will be added as it implies that cash was generated from supplier credit

Decrease in accrued expenses $(9,000 )  A decrease is deducted as cash was spent to settle it

Net cash provided by operating activities  $18,000

Cash flows from investing activities:

Proceeds on sale of investment =30,000

Proceeds on sale of kit =8,000

Purchase of kit = $(150,000 )

Movement in Plant and Equipment account: - $300,000 - $20,000 = $280,000 - $430,000

Net cash employed by investing activities=  $(112,000)

Cash flows from financing activities:  

Bonds issued   =70,000

Proceeds from issuing stock =   $20,000  

 Movement in common shares acc: - $250,000 + $(96,000 - $80,000 = 416,000) = $266,000 - $286,000

Dividends paid= $(9,000)

Net cash provided by financing activities=  $81,000

Net decrease in cash  =$(13,000)

Cash balance at January 1, 2015 = $21,000

Cash balance at New Year's Eve , 20= $8,000

2. The free income can be calculated from the cash flow statement like this:

Operating income= $18,000

Less: Capital expenditures= (112,000)

= Free income= $94,000

3. we will see from the cash flow statement that the company:

Managed to get a positive cash flow from operations despite the heavy investment in inventories and the increase in accounts receivable by increasing its trade credit.

The cash position declined though, due to the e purchase  equipment es that was in excess of the amount raised from he bond issue.

Cash Flow Statement by the Indirect Method:

The income statement is one of the fundamental financial statements. In it, the state of the cash asset of a corporation is analyzed by reporting on how much cash was used y or provided by operating, investing, and financing activities.
