Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Vernon can only deduct the actual lease expenses incurred during 2016, and that is only three months: October, November and December.

= 3 months x $3,000 per month = $9,000

This logic applies to every expense that is paid in advance, you can only deduct payments that apply for the current tax year.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Explanation:

High and low cost technique

Using the a high and low technique, total cost can be analysed and separated into fixed and variable portion. This analysis helps in the forecast of cost and therefore important for the preparation of budget.

<em>Variable cost of maintenance</em>

= (Cost at high activity - Cost at low activity)/ (high activity - low activity)

VC per act. = ( $15000 - $12000)/(12,000-8000)

                   = $0.75 per activity

<em>Fixed cost of maintenance</em>

= Total cost at high activity - (VC per act × high activity)

=  $15,000 - ( $0.75 ×  12,000)

=   $6,000

The cost formula will be:

Y= 6000 + 0.75X

Where Y = maintenance cost, X= level of activity

Harman [31]

Answer: The answer is b

Explanation:

The concept of advertising response function is based on the theory of marginal physical product and shows the relationship between advertising and the level of consumption of the goods by the consumers. The theory of marginal physical product states that when there is a change in total product resulting from one unit change in the quantity of the resources used per unit of time. When average product is increasing ,marginal physical product is greater than average product,when average product is maximum ,marginal physical equals average product .when average product is decreasing marginal physical product is less than average product.The theory of marginal physical product can also be called the law of diminishing return which states that if increasing quantities of one factor of production are used in conjunction with a fixed quantity of other factors then, after a certain point each successive unit of the variable factor will make smaller and smaller addition to the total output. In this case, the law tells the Trend Inc when to stop adding more input of the variable factor to a fixed factor.

Invariably, we are saying that it high time for Trend Inc, should spend proportionately less on advertising than on newer line. It should now spend more money on bringing of new product into the market than spending more on the advertisement of the sport shoes because at a certain point the demand for the old product will fall when diminishing return must have set in on the product demand.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Gross National Product (GNP)

Explanation:

According to Investopedia, "the Gross National Product is the value of a nation's finished domestic goods and services during a specific time period".

*Note that the GNP should NOT be confused with the GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The GDP only accounts for the value of goods and services produced within a nation's borders, while the GNP also adds the value of services produced by that country's employees and companies in other nations.

Answer: 0.10%

The following can be gotten from the question:

n = 15 years

We change it to months. Thus will be:

= 15 × 12

= 180

Present value of an annuity :

= A × {1- (1 +r ) -n ]/r}

74000 = 450 × [ 1- (1 +r) - 180]/r

r= 0.10%

Therefore, the monthly interest rate is 0.10%.
