Answer:

The management should adopt skimming pricing strategy.

Explanation:

For the fact that this is a new technology and very difficult to be copied, the management should adopt skimming pricing strategy. This will allow them to charge high prices and make money in the market before their competitors starts making the same kind of washing machine. This product has benefits for the consumers as well as it consumes less water to clean the clothes so there is high probability of this machine is accepted even if the prices are exorbitantly higher and from this, its going to be demanded by many costomers.

Answer:

The appropriate pricing strategy is price skimming

Explanation:

Penetration pricing strategy is adopted by a company launching a new product that has  many competing products in the market place whereby a low initial price is set for the product such that customer's acceptance and patronage can be gained before the product is priced appropriately.

Skimming pricing strategy relates to a unique product being priced high in order to earn returns as quickly as possible before competitors begin to copy the new product.

Under this scenario,the washing machine  is unique and would be appealing to consumers since it requires little quantity of water to make clothes clean,hence charging higher price would not deter households from purchasing it.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer’s December 31, 2019, income statement is $20,253

Explanation:

Fair value of asset sold on lease = Present value of lease payments = $50,000 * Cumulative PV factor at 6% for 8 periods of annuity due

= $50,000 * 6.20979

= $310,490

Interest income for 2019 = ($310490 - $50,000) * 6% = $15,629

Total increase in pretax earnings on Summer’s December 31, 2019, income statement = $310490 - $300,000 + $15,629 - 5866 = $20,253

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The corrected Net income = $54,500                      

Explanation:

Net income is defined as the total profits earned by an individual from a business venture. It is equal to the difference between the gross income and the expenses involved including cost of supplies and accrued salaries.

Given: net income = $58,000

Entries not made include supplies expense = $2,200 and accrued salaries = $1,300

Therefore, the corrected net income = net income - expenses = $58,000 - ($2,200 + $1,300) = $54,500

NeTakaya

Answer:

$131.58

Explanation:

The computation of the new stock price is shown below:

= Selling price of stock per share ÷ current number of shares

= $250 ÷ 1.90

= $131.58

Since the 90% dividend is declared. It means for each share 90% dividend is declared so after stock dividend, the number of shares would be

= 1 + 90%

= 1 + 0.9

= 1.9

We simply divide the selling price by the current number of shares
