The automobile industry in​ Rhizo, a small developing​ country, has a monopolistic market structure. Crimson​ Inc., the only pla

yer in this​ industry, has been specializing in the production of hatchback cars for almost five years and earns huge profits by selling them at high prices. The​ company's sales revenue has increased on average by 11 percent annually since it began its operation.​ However, in an attempt to promote​ competition, the government of Rhizo has recently announced tax concessions for new firms willing to enter this industry. The sales team at Crimson forecasts that even if new firms enter the​ market, its sales will still increase by 8.5 percent next year.​ Crimson's CEO, Maria​Dan, therefore feels that the firm need not worry too much about the competition from new players. Roger​ Woods, an industry​analyst, meanwhile claims that Crimson must introduce some variety in its product line to maintain overall profit margins.
Which of the​ following, if​ true, will strengthen​ Roger's view?

A. Crimson has recently appointed Graham​ Jones, a famous soccer​player, as its brand ambassador.
B. Other industries that the government opened up in the past did not attract much foreign direct investment.
C. Crimson enjoys cost advantages over rival firms.
D. An increase in the average family size in recent years has created a demand for bigger cars.
E. Crimson sells 60 percent of its products in the international market.

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

An increase in the average family size in recent years has created a demand for bigger cars. Since Roger Woods proposed that Crimson must introduce some variety in its product line to maintain overall profit margins, option D is the only option that suggests a need for adding a new variety to its product line (Bigger Cars), since there is a demand for it already arising from the increase in the average family size.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Net income= $4,836,200

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Offer:

21,000 units for $77.4

An increase in variable cost= $7.6 per unit

Direct materials $ 12.50 $ 1,050,000

Direct labor 15.00 1,260,000

Variable manufacturing overhead 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed manufacturing overhead 17.50 1,470,000

Variable selling and administrative expenses 14.00 1,176,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses 13.00 1,092,000

Totals $ 86.00 $ 7,224,000

First, we need to calculate the effect on the income of accepting the offer:

Effect on income= 21,000*77.4 - 21,000*(12.5 + 15 + 14 + 14 + 7.6)

Effect on income= 1,625,400 - 1,325,100

Effect on income= 300,300

Net income= 84,000*140 + 300,300 - 7,224,000

Net income= $4,836,200

Able Towing Company purchased a tow truck for $90,000 on January 1, 2012. It was originally depreciated on a straight-line basis
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

$14,620.00

Explanation:

Depreciation on a straight line is constant throughout the useful.

For able towing, depreciation  expenses for 2012 and 2013 will be

Depreciable amount = cost price - salvage value

=$90,000- $18,000= $72,000

Depreciation will be $72,000 /10 years which will be $7200 per year

For two years will be $7200 x 2= $14,400

At the beginning of 2014, the book value will be $90,000 - $14,400=$ 75,600

new salvage value beginning 2014 is $2500

Depreciable amount is $75,600- $2,500=$73100

use-life life is 5 years.

The depreciation rate for 2014 is  $73,100 /5 years

=$14,620.00

Jessica is a one-third owner in Bikes-R-Us, an S corporation that experienced a $45,000 loss this year (year 1).
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

a. $15,000

b. $10,000 & $3,000

c.  $3,000

Explanation:

a. The amount of loss deducted in a year will be equal to the stock basis in the company.

The excess amount of loss will be carry to the future years and deducted, if there is conditional stock basis in the company.

The amount is Jessica allowed to deduct in year 1: ($45,000 x 1/3) = $15,000

b. Her stock and debt bases in the corporation at the end of year 1:

=> Stock basis at the end of year 1: $10,000 - $10,000 = 0

=> Remaining amount of loss: $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000 => Remaining loss: $5,000 - $3,000 = $2,000

So, Jessica has a suspended loss of $2,000 at the end of year 1

c. The profit is $12,000

Share of J: $12,000 x 1/3 = $4,000

Out of this $4,000, the $3,000 (one-third) will be its debt basis and $1,000 will be stock basis.

The amount of $2,000 loss will first be deducted from the stock basis and then from the debt basis.
