Answer:

3) The only bank in a small town

Explanation:

By definition a monopoly occurs when there is only one supplier in the market for a specific good or service. In this case, if there is only one bank that works in a small town, then that bank has a monopoly of all the town's residents that require banking services. If any resident doesn't like that specific bank, they need to go to another town in search for banking services.

Dear esteemed customers,

I bring to you an unpalatable news about the changes that would be initiated in our business approach to our customers.

As you can bear witness to, there has been a drastic increase in the cost of doing business in our industry with the notable changes being in the wheat used in producing our confectioneries, the sugar as well as the rising cost of transportation to various customers' locations.

Taking this into account, our company decided to introduce a flat rate delivery cost of $20 irrespective of the location of our customers. This would help us to minimize our production cost. Inorder to also consider our customers, there is a free 20 pieces cake (box) offered to every customer who buys 50 box of each product. This means, 50 box of cupcakes earns you one box free, 100 box cupcake purchase earns you 2 free boxes.

I do hope you would understand our challenges as a company and bear with us regarding to this delivery charge introduction.

Sincerely,

Maris Albert (For the company)

Kieso Company borrowed $740,000 for three months. The annual interest rate on the loan was 9%. Kieso's fiscal year ends on Decem

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Last Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $5550

Current Fiscal Year:

Interest Expense = $11100

Explanation:

According to the accrual basis of accounting, the expenses and revenues relating to a certain period should be recorded in that particular period whether of not they have been received. The fiscal year of Kieso ends on 31 December and as the loan was taken one month prior to the start of the current fiscal year, it was taken at the start of December of last fiscal year.

This means that the interest expense on loan relating to last December will be charged to the last fiscal year and the interest expense relating to January and February will be charged to the current fiscal year. The interest expense amount will be calculated as follows,

Last Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 1/12 => $5550

Current Fiscal Year = 740000 * 9% * 2/12 => $11100
