Answer:

Hi there!!

$159,936

Explanation:

Sales proceeds                                                $475,000

Less: book value

 Cost                                       $383,500

 Accumulated depreciation <u> $(68,436)   </u>      <u> $315,064  </u>

Gain                                                                  $159,936      

Since Sylvio has maintained its investment for more than a year, the tax law allows reducing the tax on capital gain although the form of calculation of the profit is the same as for common cases.

In this case tax rate drops from 39.6% to 20%.

Answer:

The answer is Option D. 1.68 times

Explanation:

The formula for equity multiplier is:

Equity Multiplier = Total assets ÷ Total stockholder's equity

In 2017:

Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590

Total assets = $6,015

Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,

Equity multiplier = $6,015 ÷ $3,590 = 1.68 times

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

No, Elevators, Inc. has not broken the law because payment was made in United States currency.

Explanation:

It operates a substantial business abroad for high-end luxury hotels. It authorized a project manager to "charge" a government official a charge of 500 for speeding up the building permit process. so

  • Under the law, it is illegal to bribe foreign officials to get business. But there is an exception to "facilitation payments", also known as grease payments made to speed up general government functions.
  • Flexible payments can be used to persuade government officials to perform work that is already being done. Although many have argued that such payments are important for their operations in some areas, such as Asia and Africa, the difference between facility payment and bribery remains unclear.

Calculation to determine the increase in the current year in net assets with donor restrictions

Using this formula

Net assets current year Increase=Restricted gift by donor+Restricted gift to pay salary+Restricted gift withheld+Unspent income earned

Let plug in the formula

Net assets current year Increase=$75,000+$95,000+$125,000+$15,000

Net assets current year Increase=$310,000

Therefore the increase in the current year in net assets with donor restrictions will be $310,000

The demand for good X is estimated to be Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M +
AX where PX is the price of X, PY is the price of good
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • Given the equation ; Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
  • where PX is the price of X = $50
  • PY is the price of good Y = $100
  • M is income = $25,000
  • and AX is the amount of advertising on X = 1,000 units

a) Calculate the quantity demanded of good X ; Plugging all the values into the equation ;

= 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25,000) + 1000

Qxd = 61,300units

b) Calculate the own price elasticity of demand for good ;

= d(Qxd)/dpx X px/Qxd = -4 x 50/61,300

= 0.0033. hence he demand for goods is inelastic

c) l will surely recommend lowering the price as this is evident from the value of the price elasticity of demand which is negative as such an increase in the price of their goods will give rise to total loss

d ) cross-price elasticity between goods X and Y = %change in quantity/ %change in price

e) Calculate the income elasticity of good X. Is good X normal or an inferior good? = dQ/dM X M/Q = 2(25000) /61300

= 0.82.

Yes! Good X is a normal goods since the value of the income elasticity is positive.

  • Accessibility.
  • Actionability.
  • Substantiality.
  • Responsiveness.

Substantiality: This criterion of segmentation express the notion that the target market must be large enough to be profitable as a small segment can not justify the investment.

Similarly in the given case, it talks about the substantiality criteria of segmentation as it says a selected segment must be large enough to warrant developing and maintaining a special marketing mix.
