Emy is at dinner with her group of friends when one of them pulls out a new pen that not only writes but takes pictures. It also

saves what it writes on a flash drive so the user can download the file later to her laptop through bluetooth. She rolls her eyes and makes a few skeptical comments about the fancy device. Emy’s attitude fits closest to which adopter category?

Answer:

Late Majority.

Explanation:

The adoption of a product by consumers is divided into five categories, namely, <u>innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards</u>. Such customers are known as adopters who adopt to new technology differently. The category of adopters was proposed by Everett Rogers in 1962.

In the given scenario, Emy exemplifies Late majority adopter.

Late Majority adopters are those adopters who adopts new innovation or technology after observing that the product has been adopted fruitfully by the majority of society. They rank on the second last position of the adopters. They are more skeptical to the product before adopting it. So, Emy fits the late majority category of adopters as she is skeptical about the fancy device shown by her friend.

raketka [301]

Answer:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Explanation:

For this case the graph attached illustrate the problem for this case

We know that the total area is 60000, so then we have:

xy = 60000

If we solve for x we got:

x = \frac{60000}{y}  (1)

Now we can define the cost function like this:

C = 2*(25)*y + 25 x +40 x

C(x,y) = 50 y + 65 x

We can use the condition (1) and if we replace in the cost function we have:

C(y) = 50 y + 65(\frac{60000}{y})

Since we need to minimize the cost, we can derivate the function in terms of y and we got:

C'(y) = 50 -\frac{3900000}{y^2}=0

And we can solve for y and we got:

y = \sqrt{\frac{3900000}{50}}= 279.285

And using condition (1) we can solve for x and we got:

x= \frac{60000}{279.285}= 214.834

So then the minimum cost for this case would be:

C = 50*279.285 + 65*214.834 = 27928.49

Assume US GAAP to answer this question.In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid.In 2018, $8 million
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The right answer is A. Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018

Explanation:

During 2017 and 2018, we have the following information:

+ In 2017, there is $2 million wages earned but not yet paid, so, Wages payable at the end of 2017 should be amounted to $2 million.

+ In 2018, there is another $8 million wages earned. At the same period, there is $7 million wages paid which is distributed as followed: $2 million to clear all Wages payable in 2017 and the other $5 million to clear $5 million out of $8 million wages payable in 2018. So, the only wages liability outstanding at the end of 2018 is the amount of $3 million earned in 2018 but not yet paid ($8 million - $5 million).

=> Liabilities in 2018 increases $1.0 million in comparison with the year 2017 ( $3 million - $2 million).

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Unit cost= $5,5unit

Explanation:

Total manufacturing cost is the aggregate amount of cost incurred by a business to produce goods in a reporting period.

Generally accepted accounting principles require that the cost of goods sold shall consist of:

the cost of direct materials

the cost of direct labor

the cost of manufacturing overhead

Expenses that are outside of the manufacturing facilities, such as selling, general and administrative expenses, are not product costs. They are reported as expenses on the income statement in the accounting period in which they occur.

<u>In this exercise:</u>

Cost of goods manufactured:

Direct materials= $13700

Direct Labor=$4800

Factory overhead= 800hours*$25=$20000

Total= $38500

Unit cost= 38500/7000=$5,5unit

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Effect on income= $15,000 favorable

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It has just determined that another $40,000 of repair work is required. Alternatively, it has found a newer used lift that is for sale for $170,000. The company estimates that both lifts would have useful lives of 6 years. The new lift is more efficient and thus would reduce operating expenses by about $20,000 per year. Darcy Roofing could also rent out the new lift for about $10,000 per year. The old lift is not suitable for rental. The old lift could currently be sold for $25,000 if the new lift is purchased.

Year 0= -170,000 + 25,000 + 40,000= -105,000

Year 1 trough 6= 20,000*6= 120,000

Effect on income= $15,000 favorable

Fittoniya [83]

If the U.S. government was concerned that the depreciating value of the US$ caused the Japanese government unstable, it would sell yen in the foreign exchange market. If successful the $/yen exchange rate would decline.

Explanation:

Yen that would increase market yen supply and market dollar demand, which would stabilise the dollar price. $/yen means the number of dollars for yen that may be purchased.

This value will decline as the dollar begins to appreciate.

The average Nikkei 225 fell by 7.2 percent relative to its April point at 14 May. And, in April, the yen increased to 109-110 from 112-113 to the dollar. The fall of the stock market did not cause the yen to rise for the first time. As the following chart shows, Japan's stock market downturn has been strongly influenced since 2004 by a high yen as a result of the increase in stock prices.
