Answer:

$4,350

Explanation:

Based on the amortization period, the duration of the patent would be 20 years or 10 years whichever is lower. So, in this question, we consider the useful life of 10 years

The computation is shown below:

= (Legal  costs associated with the patent + unamortized research expenditures) ÷ useful life in months × given months

= ($43,000 + $15,000) ÷ 120 months × 9 months

= $58,000 ÷ 120 months × 9 months

= $4,350

The nine months is calculated from April to December month. We assume that the books are closed on December month

Answer:

put upward pressure on; put downward pressure on

  • The actions of U.S. investors to lock in this higher foreign return would PUT UPWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's spot rate and PUT DOWNWARD PRESSURE ON the currency's futures price.

Explanation:

If both the spot and the forward price of a currency are the same, it means that it should be worth the same today than in the future. If you can earn higher interest by investing in that foreign currency, then investors will start purchasing higher amounts of the foreign in order to invest and gain higher rates.

Since the demand for the foreign currency increases, that put upward pressure its current price. Simply more investors will want to invest in that currency. While that happens right now, the market will tend to adjust to correct this arbitrage, and the way this can be adjusted is by lowering the future price of the currency. That puts downward pressure on the forward rate.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

many buyers and sellers

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that this situation violates the perfect competition assumption of many buyers and sellers. This is a model that many buyers and sellers in a competitive market agree on a single market price, and that no individual has influence over the price. Therefore if a single company, like Dell in this scenario, is able to influence the price then it is violating this assumption.
