Answer:

b. 90

Explanation:

The concentration ratio is a term in business that is measured as the total summation of the market share percentage carried by the largest specified number of companies in an industry. The concentration ratio varies between 0% to 100%, and an industry's concentration ratio is considered to demonstrates the extent of competition in the industry.

However, the four-firm concentration ratio is calculated by summing the market shares—that is, the percentage of total sales—of the four largest companies in the given market.

Hence, in this case, we have 35%, 30%, 15% and 10% as the top four largest market share. There by, summation equals => 35+30+15+10 = 90.

Answer:

The correct answer is:

90 (b.)

Explanation:

A concentration ratio is the ratio of the combined market shares percentage held by the largest specified number of firms, compared to the given market size. The concentration ratio ranges from 0% to 100%. If the concentration ratio of an industry ranges from 0% to 50%, that industry is said to be perfectly competitive if the top 5 firms have a concentration ratio of 60% or more, oligopoly is said to occur, and if the competition ratio of one company is 100% it shows monopoly.

In our example, the concentration of the largest four market segments are:

35%, 30%, 15% and 10%

Therefore, the four firm market concentration ratio = 35 + 30 + 15 + 10 = 90

Orange Inc., an orange juice producer with a current debt-to-equity ratio of 2, is considering expanding its operations to produ
postnew [5]

Answer:

8.25%

Explanation:

Orange, Inc. should calculate the MARR (minimum acceptable rate of return) for this project using the following:

Re = 12% (similar to Paste, Inc., so it can be considered the industry's average)

Rd = 6% x (1 - 25%) = 4.5%

MARR = (1/2 x 12%) + (1/2 x 4.5%) = 6% + 2.25% = 8.25%

This calculation is similar to calculating a company's WACC since you must determine the weighted cost of financing the project.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

Explanation:

The adjusting entry is shown below:

Bad Debt Expense ($40,000 - $3,200)  $36,800

           To Allowance for Doubtful Accounts   $36,800

(Being the bad debt expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the bad debt expense as it increased the expenses and credited the allowance for doubtful debts as it decreased the value of the assets

And since there is a credit balance so the same is deducted from the account receivable

What is a hypothesis?
yanalaym [24]

The answer is B.

"A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it. Scientists generally base scientific hypotheses on previous observations that cannot satisfactorily be explained with the available scientific theories. Even though the words "hypothesis" and "theory" are often used synonymously, a scientific hypothesis is not the same as a scientific theory. A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought."

"A hypothesis is an assumption, an idea that is proposed for the sake of argument so that it can be tested to see if it might be true."
