Answer:
more intense the competitive pressures posed by substitute products.
Explanation:
The lower the user's switching costs: the more intense the competitive pressures posed by substitute products.
Switching costs can be defined as the cost of a consumer switching from a product to a substitute good.
Therefore when such switching costs are low, it will be easier to switch from one product to another, implying that the competitive pressure from substitute goods are higher.
Answer:
The bonds are guaranteed as to principal and interest payments by the US government.
Explanation:
According to NASAA's Statement of Policy on Unethical or Dishonest Business Practices of Broker-Dealers and Agents, a broker can say US government bonds are guaranteed on principal and interest payments.
However if inflation sets in and interest rates rises there is no guarantee from the government that interest paid on the bonds will match the higher interest rate.
So legally this statement is correct, even though the investor can lose money as a result of higher interest rate in the future.
Answer:
$3,000
Explanation:
Given that,
On April 1, 2021, total sales of one-year subscriptions = $12,000
Total number of months for which subscription is received = 12 months
Months Relating to year 2022 for which subscription received on 1 April 2021:
= From January 1, 2022 to March 31, 2022
= 3 Months
Deferred revenue is for the three months.
Therefore, the adjusted balance of Deferred Revenue on December 31, 2021 is as follows:
= Amount of subscriptions received × Time period
= $12,000 × (3 ÷ 12)
= $3,000
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
1. Predetermined overhead rate
= Total fixed overhead cost for the year / Budgeted standard direct labor hour
Predetermined overhead rate = $530,400 / 68,000
Predetermined overhead rate
= $7.8 per direct labor hour
2. i. Fixed overhead budget variance
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted fixed overhead
= $521,000 - $530,400
= $9,400 favourable
ii Fixed overhead volume variance
= Budgeter fixed overhead - Fixed overhead applied to work in process
= $530,400 - (66,000 × $7.8)
= $530,000 - $514,800
= $15,200 unfavorable
