Answer:
Explanation:
MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.
In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.
As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.
These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.

Answer:
Explanation:
Price is sum of:
1. Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years;
2. Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year based on growth at 5%.
Present value of expected dividend payments during 1-4 years:
PV1 = 3*(1+0.30)*0.8929 = 3.90*0.8929 = $3.482
*0.8929 = 1/1.12
PV2 = 3.90*1.30*0.7972 = 5.07*0.7972 = $4.042
PV3 = 5.07*1.30*0.7118 = 6.591*0.7118 = $4.691
PV4 = 6.591*1.30*0.6355 = 8.5683*0.6355 = $5.445
Total = $17.661
Present value of the expected market price at the end of the fourth year:
Market price of the share at the end = 5th year dividend/(Required rate of return - growth rate)
5th year dividend = $8.5683*(1+growth rate) = $8.5683*(1+0.05) = $9
Market price of the share at the end = $9/(0.12-0.05) = $128.57
Present value of $128.57 is 128.57*0.6355(present value interest factor for year 4) = $81.7
So the price of share is $17.661+$81.7 = $99.37
Answer:
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation:
Amount of which adjusting entry required:
= Amount of uncollectible accounts - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= (Balance in accounts receivable × Estimated percentage of accounts receivable to be uncollectible) - Balance in Allowance for uncollectible accounts
= ($200,000 × 4%) - $2,000
= $8,000 - $2,000
= $6,000
Therefore, the adjusting entry is as follows:
Bad debt expense A/c Dr. $6,000
To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $6,000
(To record the bad debt expense)
