Answer:

The question is missing the options, however, I will provide them below, and choose the correct answer.

A) Do nothing at all.

B) Use the law to increase competition.

C) Turn the company into a public enterprise.

D) Regulate the pricing behavior.

The correct answer is A: Do nothing at all

Explanation:

The government has an incentive to allow prices to be high, the incentive is that the high profits the monopolist company is receiving are being reinvested in research and technology.

Any other action would potentially result in lower prices.

  • Increasing competition according to economic theory would lower prices.
  • Turning the company into a public enterprise would not be a bad idea, but there is always the possiblity that the government will not be able to maintain the quality of the product, or that it will not be politicaly feasible for the government to charge such high prices.
  • Regulating the pricing behavior by definition would result in lower prices, and could also distort the company's behaviour by reducing profits so much that they become losses.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Zigzag Manufacturing

The Effectiveness of Leslie Demorest's Budgeting Strategy

The strategy of adjusting the previous year's operating expenses with inflation is not an effective way of strategic budget planning.  Leslie's budgeting strategy does not take advantage of forecasts of unexpectedly good performance and fails to provide any reaction that can occur when there are downturns in cash flow.

An effective budgeting strategy should provide the standard for the effective use of financial resources of Zigzag Manufacturing in its business operations.  There are no clear goals to be achieved and an evaluation of how the goals will be achieved through the budget implementation.

Explanation:

An effective budget should be able to forecast and track revenues and expenses, which are received and incurred in pursuit of business goals and projections.  An effective budget ensures that those who implement the projections contained in the budget remain motivated.  The idea of adjusting previous expenses with inflation is not an effective budgeting strategy.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

B. $300,000

Explanation:

For computing the dividend, the computation is shown below:

= Current E&P + accumulated E&P at the beginning of the year

= $200,000 + $100,000

= $300,000

The dividend is $300,000 which is less than the distributed amount i.e $400,000 So, the distribution of dividend is only $300,000 ,not the $400,000 and the same is considered.

Which of the following best explains why the taxes on discontinued operations are reported separately from taxes on continuing o
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The statement that best explains why the taxes on discontinued operations are reported separately from taxes on continuing operations is:

The taxes on discontinued operations are not expected to recur in future years.

Explanation:

Discontinued operations refer to the cessation of some business activities or segments.  They are usually reported as a separate line item.  Therefore, all the gains and losses for that discontinued division must be reported separately on the company's income statement. The purpose is to distinguish them from those of continuing operations.
