Answer:

A. January 2016

B. May 2016

C. June 2016

Explanation:

Req. A

From the data table above, it is easy to understand that only 10,000 mobile phones were sold in the month of January.

Req. B

From the information above, the highest sales level was in the month of May with a 12,000 smartphones.

Req. C

We know, a monopolist maximizes its profit when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. MR = MC.

In that case, two months had equal marginal revenue = marginal cost, i.e., February and June.

According to the maximizing rule, at which point there are a high number of sales and MR = MC, that sales point is considered as maximizing profit.

Therefore, in the month of June, the sales were high with 11,000 smartphones. Hence, June was the firm's maximizing profit.

Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of following claims, does Huprey (a) Record liability, (b) D
const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) Disclose in the notes

b) no Disclosure

c) Record a liability

Explanation:

There are three scenarios to be considered

1) It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable

First, premise is that Huprey Co. is facing a lawsuit and the possibility of a loss is most possible. If Huprey Co is able to recognize the amount of loss, then he would have been able to record a liability but the inability to estimate the loss means, the company can o<u>nly make appropriate disclosure in notes</u>

2)Huprey is being used for damages of $2 million. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.

This second premise is also a lawsuit on damages for $2 million, however, it is most reasonably acceptable that Huprey will win the lawsuit. As such there is no loss, that way there will be no disclosure in Huprey Co's books.

3.  Huprey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1.25 million, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.

The probability of losing a case means that there will be a loss to be recorded in the books and since the damages are already estimable to be $1.25 million. Huprey Co should record a liability

If the price of a product increases, the demand for the resource used in producing that product decreases.
valentina_108 [34]

Economists call this the law of demand. As the price of a product increases, the quantity demanded decreases (but the demand itself remains the same). If the price falls, the quantity demanded will increase.

Resource Prices – Rising resource prices lead to a decrease in supply or a leftward shift in the supply curve. Falling resource prices lead to an increase in supply or a rightward shift in the supply curve.

An increase in demand shifts the demand curve to the right and a decrease in supply shifts the supply curve to the left.

A decrease in demand leads to a decrease in the equilibrium price. Less quantity to deliver. An increase in supply leads to a  product decrease in the equilibrium price, all other things being equal. Demand increases.

how can you guarantee that your talk or speech will be interesting to your audience? Is this good advice? Why or why not? Justif
Rashid [163]
If you want to make sure it's interesting, you have to cater your speech/talk to your target audience. This is good advice. A 15-page detailed Powerpoint presentation with note cards would do as much good when presenting to kindergarteners as a water hose would do good in a flood. But, say, it was a fire, then the water hose might come in handy. In our case, your boss at the business meeting would find your Powerpoint much more interesting than kindergarteners would. 

Hope this helps! Have a nice day :)
