Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": faced with more types of risks than are industry-wide strategies.

Explanation:

A focus strategy is an approach companies take to dedicate their operations to the production of one specific good for one specific market. While it allows the firm to specialize and give consumers a more tailored product, <em>it represents a risk when competitors outperform its capabilities</em>. Besides, t<em>he company does not take advantage of diversification because its target population is reduced</em>. Focus-strategy companies are at a disadvantage compared to industries with wider scope.

Answer:

c. faced with more types of risks than are industry-wide strategies.

Explanation:

Focused strategy is when a company has a niche or segment and produces goods that adequately satisfies the needs of customers. Other strategies include differentiation strategy and low cost strategy.

Focus strategy has a higher risk of failing than industry-wide strategy because in the case where there is a downturn in a particular segment where the company specialises it will lead to business failure. Demand for their services will affect performance.

While in industry-wide strategy when there is downturn in one segment, the company will focus on another segment to survive.

Debbie Brooks and Martha Tingstrom lived together. Tingstrom handled their finances. For five years, Brooks did not look at any
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Debbie Brooks is the one who will suffer the loss for the checks paid with Brook's forged signature.

Explanation:

Debbie Brooks is the one who will suffer the loss for the checks paid with Brook's forged signature because Brooks was supposed to be checking the statement regarding her accounts frequently . By that, she could have discovered that Tingstrom had taken $85,000 from her checking account with Transamerica Financial Advisors and hence be able to sue her.

After Debbies Brooks discovered what Martha had done, she should have have stopped the transaction immediately but instead another year passed before she filed a suit against Transamerica. Hence, she will be one who will suffer from the forged signature.

At December 31, 2018, the financial statements of Hollingsworth Industries included the following: Net income for 2018 $ 590 mil
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Basic EPS = $1.359 million

Diluted EPS = $1.195 million

Explanation:

For Basic EPS we need to calculate the number of shares outstanding

Shares as on Jan 1 = 450 million

Treasury shares on Sep 1 =  48 million × (4 months ÷ 12 months)

                                           = 16 million

Number of shares o/s =  Shares as on Jan 1 - Treasury shares on Sep 1

                                    = 450 million - 16 million

                                    = 434 million

Basic EPS = Net Income ÷ Number of shares o/s

                 = $590 million ÷ 434 million

                 = $1.359 million

For Diluted EPS,

Interest savings = 10% × $ 250 million

                           = $25 million

Adjusted Net Income =  Net Income + After tax interest savings

                               = $590 million +  [25 millions - 40(25million)]

                               = $590 million - $15 million

                               = $575 million

and weighted number of shares will include the bonds, that are convertible

Outstanding shares as computed = 434 million

Bond conversion Shares = 47 million

Total shares outstanding =  Outstanding shares as computed + Bond conversion Shares

                                          = 434 million  + 47 million

                                          = 481 million

Diluted EPS = Adjusted Net income ÷ Total shares outstanding

                    = $575 million ÷ 481 million

                    = $1.195 million

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

X1 EPS =  $ 3.44 per share

X2 EPS = $ 3.88 per share

Explanation:

EPS = \frac{income}{shares}

X1: Earning per share

$1,070,000 / 311,000 shares outstanding = $3.44 per share

X2: net income calcualtions

1,070,000 x ( 1  +  24%) = 1,326,8‬00

X2 shares outstanding:

beginning 311,000 + issued 31,000 = 342,000

EPS: 1,326,800 / 342,000 =  3,8795 = 3.88

Igoryamba

Explanation:

The computation of accumulated depreciation expense for this purchase is shown below:-

Depreciation expense = ((Cost of machine - Salvage) ÷ Estimated useful life of machine)

= (($40,900,000 - $4,090,000) ÷ 15) × 2

= $36,810,000 ÷ 15 × 2

= $4,908,000

Therefore for computing the depreciation expense we simply applied the above formula.
