Business ethics concerns:

The intent of corporate advertising is to make sure that all of a company's products are seen in a common, positive manner. True

evablogger [386]

Answer:

False since the intent of corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive.

Explanation:

Corporate advertising is usually done to ensure that the perception of the company's image is positive. The products under the corporation is not a priority in this case, rather its is the company as a whole that needs to be viewed in good light.

This kind of advertising forms part of the public relations techniques used by the company or institution to improve its public image. There are so many companies with different brands under them that utilize this advertising technique to improve their standing in the public eye. It is a way of making the company itself to be a brand by advertising the company as a package.

These companies always want to prove that they care more about the public than they care for the products, in this way they create the perception that the company is primary and anything else is secondary.

Cooperate advertising is majorly used in companies whose business activities have a negative effect to the public. Cooperation that engage in mining activities or activities that affect the environment are likely to utilize this form of advertising.

Dorothy acquired a 100% interest in two passive activities: Activity A in January 2014 and Activity B in 2015. Through 2017, Act

Answer:

0

$180,000

0

$240,000

Explanation:

In 2018 and 2019, Dorothy may deduct none of the net passive losses that remain after offsetting the passive income. In 2018, the $20,000 of passive income is used to absorb $20,000 of the $200,000 passive loss, leaving $180,000 of passive loss suspended. In 2019, the $40,000 of passive income is used against the $100,000 passive loss, leaving a $60,000 passive loss suspended for that year. Thus , a total of $240,000 of passive losses is suspended at the year 2019 into 2020.

If the demand curve for a life-saving medicine is perfectly inelastic, then a reduction in supply will cause the equilibrium pri

never [62]

Answer:

If the demand curve for a life-saving medicine is perfectly inelastic, then a reduction in supply will cause the equilibrium price to rise and the equilibrium quantity to stay the same.

Explanation:

Perfectly inelastic demand curve indicates the quantity demanded for the life-saving medicine remains the same or does not change in response to a change in price.

Since a part of the law of supply states that the lower the quantity supplied, the higher the price; a reduction in the supply of the life-saving medicine will increase its price.

The combining effect of the two above will lead to an increase in the equilibrium price while the equilibrium quantity will remain the same as it will not respond to the change in price.

The attached graph explains this more clearly. In the graph, the demand curve DD is used to represent the perfectly inelastic demand curve for the life-saving medicine. Therefore, the quantity remains at q no matter the changes, either increase or decrease, in price. Movement from the supply curve S1 to S2 indicates a reduction in supply of the life-saving medicine which causes an increase in the equilibrium price from Po to P1 while the equilibrium quantity stays at q.

This therefore shows that if the demand curve for a life-saving medicine is perfectly inelastic, then a reduction in supply will cause the equilibrium price to rise and the equilibrium quantity to stay the same.

On the basis of this information, what were total maintenance costs when the company experienced 23,000 machine hours of activit

spayn [35]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total cost for each activity level:

High activity level= 27,000*27.3= $737,100

Low activity level= 23,000*34.3= $788,900

Now, using the high-low method, we can determine the variable and fixed costs:

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (788,900 - 737,100) / (27,000 - 23,000)

Variable cost per unit= $12.95 per machine-hour

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 788,900 - (12.95*27,000)

Fixed costs= $439,250

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 737,100 - (12.95*23,000)

Fixed costs= $439,250

Finally, for 25,000 hours:

Total cost= 439,250 + 12.95*2,5000

Total cost= $763,000
