Answer:

a) should be reported as a separate classification on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

Intangible assets such as software cost are not physical or tangible assets and as such <u>cannot</u> be reported under the heading Property, Plant, and Equipment.

Intangible assets like some elements of Property, Plant, and Equipment are used for more than a year and as such are usually non current assets.

Intangible assets are reported in the balance sheet as (like other assets), economic benefits flow to the entity from the use of intangible assets.

Hence, the right option is a) should be reported as a separate classification on the balance sheet.

A local car dealer offers "zero percent" interest on a $20,000 automobile for 36 monthly payments. if a customer either pays cas

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The professor is wrong; the buyer should directly pay the car company at zero interest.

Explanation:

Lets first list down all the facts:

There are two options for the consumer - the first being pay directly cash to the car company at 0% interest or take a loan of the same amount. The discount is the same if the buyer manages to pay in time.

36 monthly payments implies 3 year period.

Use a spreadsheet to enter the above data and calculate the values. You have to calculate the NPV (net present value) of the investment in both the scenarios taking account of the rebate and the subsequant gain/loss in each option. Most spreadsheets use the NPV function, including Numbers for Mac.

Take the case for the first option, where interest is zero. These are the values that were found out:

For each year, cash flow is approx. $6,660 that makes upto $555.55 each month. This is the required payment the buyer needs to pay to the car company each year to be eligible for a discount.

In the end, the car will cost almost $18,000.

Now take the case for loan payment which has an interest of 5%.

As quite evident, the loan actually increases the pay burden, since the buyer has to pay the full $6,660 yearly to the car company in addition to paying interest to the bank which is almost $335 each year. So the total amount every year, to the buyer's account statement will be approx. $7000, a loss of more than $300 when compared to the previous situation.

In the end, the car will cost him more than $900 (almost $20,980), due to interest adding up every year. The dsicount of $2,000 will of course reduce the price of it, to like $18,980 but that is still $900 more than the zero interest offered by the car company.

Hence, according to my calculations, the professor is wrong; the buyer should directly pay the car company at zero interest.

A university cafeteria line in the student union hall is a self-serve facility in which students select

Setler [38]

Answer:

The answer to this question is a= µ=60/12=5 students/min

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

λ=4 students / min

The Waiting time in Queue= λ /µ(µ- λ )==4/(5*(5-4))=0.8 min

The Number of students in the line L(q)= λ *W(q)= 4*.8= 3.2 students

TheNumber of students in the system L(q)= λ /(µ- λ )=4/(5-40=4 students

Then,

The Probability of system to be empty= P0= 1-P= 1-0.8= 0.2

Now,

If the management decides to add one more cashier with the same efficiency then we have

µ= 6 sec/student= 10 students/min.

so,

P= λ /µ =4/10=0.4

Now,

The probability that cafeteria is empty= P0= 1-0.4= 0.6

If we look at the above system traits, it is clear that the line is not empty and the students have to standby for 0.8 in the queue waiting to place their order and have it, also on an average there are 3.2 students in the queue and in the entry cafeteria there are 4 students who are waiting to be served.

If the management decides to hire one more cashier with the same work rate or ability, then the probability of the cafeteria being free moves higher from 0.2 to 0.6 so it suggests that the management must hire one additional cashier.

Anit [1.1K]

Answer: their domestic consumers are demanding

Explanation:

In Porter's Diamond Strategy, he explains why some nations are more competitive than others. One of the factors mentioned was the DEMAND CONDITIONS.

He posited that home demand has a huge influence on how favourable domestic industries are.

How?

A larger market at home presents companies with challenges as well as more opportunities to grow and become better and more efficient.

Striving to satiate such a demand will enable companies to scale new heights and they will learn more about consumer behavior much quicker. They will then use this knowledge to apply and conquer new markets thanks to being forced to adapt early by their own domestic market.
