Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Only a small number of suppliers exist and when it is difficult for industry members to switch to attractive substitutes.

Explanation:

Porter's Five Forces is a study scheme named after Harvard Professor Michael E. Porter (born 1947). It helps managers assess competition within the industry.

  • <em>The first force analyzes the ease of marketplace entry for new participants.   </em>
  • <em>The second factor measures the number and operation of a company's rivals. </em>
  • <em>The third element is the likelihood of a new good or service entering the market that will diminish the sales of existing goods. </em>
  • <em>The four-factor is that industry suppliers have negotiating power. </em>
  • <em>The fifth factor is the bargaining power of customers. </em>

<em>When the suppliers' bargaining power is higher, there are possibly a few of them in the market. The situation gets worse for manufacturers when switching from one supplier to another represents higher costs or when making the change to substitutes carries a high cost as well.</em>

Present and future value tables of $1 at 3% are presented below
Molodets [167]

Answer:

B. $228,122.

Explanation:

Number of quarters = 3 * 4 = 12

Quarterly interest rate = 12%/4 = 3%

From the table, the correct discounting factor for the future value (FV) = 1.42576

We then have:

FV = $160,000 * 1.42576 = $228,122

Therefore, the maturity value of the CD is $228,122.

nnual salary allowance to Jack of $169,680. Interest of 7% on each partner's capital balance on January 1. Any remaining net inc
Katarina [22]

Answer:

$216,570; $89,430

Explanation:

Jack:

Interest amount = 7% × $96,000

                           = $6,720

Bernard:

Interest amount = 7% × $87,000

                           = $6,090

Overall profit = Net income - salary - interest amount

                      = $303,000 - $169,680 - ( $6,720 + $6,090)

                      = $303,000 - $169,680 - $12,810

                      = $120,510

Profit is divided in a 1:2 ratio among Jack and Bernard:

Jack's profit = $120,510 × (1/3)

                    = $40,170

Bernard's profit = $120,510 × (2/3)

                          = $80,340

Net income should be distributed to Jack:

= salary + Interest + profit

= $169,680 + $6,720 + $40,170

= $216,570

Net income should be distributed to Bernard:

= Interest + profit

= $6,090 +$80,340

= $89,430
