Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": to license a European firm to manufacture and market the computer in Europe.

Explanation:

In this case it is better to license a company en Europe so they can manufacture and sell the computer in that region because the new personal computer is patented already so in front of an irregular practice from the firm planned to be hired in Europe, there will be legal support stating who the creators of the new computers are. Besides, manufacturing the goods in Europe will avoid all kinds of import tax restrictions in Europe or the implementation of new taxes on the products that eventually may affect the revenue.

A company has only two divisions: division a and division
Sloan [31]

Answer – Division A

 

EXPLANATION’

 

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

 

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

 

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

 

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

 

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

Each member of a cartel faces a temptation to cheat on the agreement because lowering its price slightly below the established p
ryzh [129]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

This is probably one of the greatest issues that cartels around the world face, since their agreements are difficult to maintain because it is very difficult to control the price and output policies of its members.

Even the largest cartel in the world, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), has problems when it comes to monitoring the petroleum output of its members. When some countries need more money they just increase their petroleum production even if the rest of the cartel doesn't agree with it.

Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $175,000 cash. The land is estimated to represe
Darya [45]

Answer:

Part 1

D.E = $5,300

Part 2

a. Book Value = $61,900

b. Book Value = $122,500

Explanation:

Step 1 : Determine the Cost of Buildings

<em>Separate the Cost of Land and the Cost of Building from the Purchase Price</em>

<u>Calculation of the Cost of Building</u>

Purchase Price ($175,000 x 30%)   $52,500

Building Renovations                      $20,000

Total                                                  $72,500

Step 2 : Depreciation calculation

<em>Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life</em>

                                      = ($72,500 - $19,500) ÷ 10

                                      = $5,300

After Year 2

<u>Buildings :</u>

Accumulated Depreciation = $10,600

Book Value = $72,500 - $10,600 = $61,900

<u>Land </u>

Book Value = $175,000 x 70% = $122,500

Note : Land is not depreciated

The purchase of treasury stock usually restricts the amount of retained earnings available for cash dividends.a. Trueb. False
DerKrebs [107]

The statement, "The purchase of treasury stock usually restricts the amount of retained earnings available for cash dividends." is true .

Option a

<u>Explanation: </u>

The stock in the bank is the term for originally sold securities that the issuing firm has retained. If a corporation sells some of its released and outstanding securities, the sale drastically alters its retained profits.  

As the balance sheet show all remaining earnings and the equity fund, sums available to pay dividends drop. The price of the stock in treasury should be reduced by the retained revenues, which reduce the amounts that the business can dividend to shareholders.

Sometimes a business needs the share-earnings ratio to be improved. If a company bought out many of its own shares, it reduces the number of released and outstanding activities raises the earnings per stake in the company and makes the assets more appealing for buyers.
