Answer: Product differentiation strategy
Explanation: In the given case, the industry in which Thomas works depicts features of oligopoly with few firms operating at high level. Thus, increase in price by Thomas would shift the demand for consumers to other firms.
Hence Thomas should opt for product differentiation strategy and should increase those features which classify its products different from the others. In such industries, quality is the core essence and costumers are wiling to pay slight higher prices if the quality of the product offered is higher than others.
Hence Thomas should narrow the completion and should focus on inventing some unique features in his products.
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
The company sold 6 advertising spaces that would run from July to December for $400 each.
Total amount received for selling 6 advertising spaces = 6×$400
Total amount received for selling 6 advertising spaces = $2,400
The advertising spaces will run for 6 months i.e., July to December.
So, adjusting entry on 31st July would record the revenue earned for 1 month only.
Total revenue = $2,400
No. of months = 6
Revenue for 1 month = $2,400/6
Revenue for 1 month = $600
Thus, journal entry on receipt of cash as well as adjusting journal entry has been shown below:
Answer:
6% on an investment that will return $450,000
Explanation:
Double-declining-balance rate:
By straight-line method, annual depreciation expenses = (85,000-5,000)/5 = $16,000
Rate of depreciation = 16000/(85,000-5,000) = 0.2 = 20%
Then, double-declining-balance rate = 2*Straight-line rate = 2*20 = 40%
From 2nd January 2017 to 31st December 2018 can be approximated as 1 year.
Therefore,
Depreciation expense in yr 1 = 40/100 * 85,000 = $34,000
And,
Book value at December 31 2018 = $85,000 - $34,000 = $51,000
It can be seen that the correct answer is b.
Answer:
Is irrelevant in decision making
Explanation:
Since the suck cost is the cost that no longer is recovered so it should not be a factor to consider when making a decision. For example, you have bought a cinema ticket for this evening, but it is heavily rainy so you may get sick if you go to the cinema. The fact that you have paid for this ticket should not consider whether to go or stay home since you can not get this amount of money no matter what happens.
