Answer:

to maximize profit, farmer must use 0.208 pounds of fertilizers

Explanation:

For profit maximization, marginal revenue must be equal to marginal cost.

Here marginal product of fertilizer= 1-N/200

selling price per busher= $4

total marginal revenue= (1-N/200)× 4

Total cost of fertilizer= 1.2N

To maximize profit

Marginal cost= marginal revenue

1.2N= (1-N/200)× 4

4.8N= 1-N/200

N= 0.208 pounds

to maximize profit, farmer must use than 0.208 pounds of fertilizers

Answer:

N Pounds = 140 to maximize profits

Explanation:

To Maximize profit : Marginal cost equal marginal Revenue

the point where no extra unit can be produced.

1.20*N = (1-N/200)*4  

Step 1 : Divide by $4 on both sides to cancel the $4 on the right hand side

0.3N =1-N/200

Step 2 : Minus 1 on both sides to cancel the 1 on the right hand side

-0.7N = -N/200

Step 3 : Multiply by 200 on both sides to cancel the 200 denominator on the right hand side

-140 = -N

Step 4 : N cannot be negative, therefore multiply by -1 on both sides

N =140

notsponge [240]

Answer:

B) Hillward can sue Hobert since the logo has been used by Hillward and is associated with it.

Explanation:

Since Hillwards logo is an elaborate piece of creative art, then they can sue Hobert for using their logo since it was associated directly to them during the past decade. Common logos are not usually protected by copyright unless they show significant creative artwork done.

It is always better and easier to protect a logo when it is a registered trademark but even if you haven't registered it you can still sue and win for infringement. When a company uses a logo, especially for a long time, it is establishing common law trademark rights.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Task a:

Deferred tax asset = $40,800,000

Deferred tax liability = $20,400,000

Task b:

Indicate how the deferred taxes computed in (a) are to be reported on the balance sheet.

Note: Please see the attachments for the balance sheet*

Task c:

Assuming that the only deferred tax account at the beginning of 2017 was a deferred tax liability of $10,000,000, draft the income tax expense portion of the income statement for 2017, beginning with the line "Income before income taxes."

Please see the attachments for the Income statement*

Explanation:

<h2><u>Task a:</u></h2>

Determine the deferred taxes to be reported at the end of 2017.

<u>Deferred tax asset</u>

Deferred tax asset = $102,000,000 × 40%

Deferred tax asset = $40,800,000 (answer)

<u>Deferred tax liability</u>

Deferred tax liability = $51,000,000 × 40%

Deferred tax liability = $20,400,000 (answer)

<h2><u>Task b:</u></h2>

Indicate how the deferred taxes computed in (a) are to be reported on the balance sheet.

<h2><u>Explanation:</u></h2>

<u>Deferred tax asset</u>

  • When <u>income tax expense is smaller than income tax payable</u> as a result of deducting any <u>non-cash expenses</u> in accounting books, some income tax expense is deferred to the future.
  • The<u> larger</u> income tax payable on tax returns creates a <u>deferred tax asset</u>, which companies can use to pay for deferred income tax expense in the future.
  • Deferred tax assets may be presented as <u>current assets</u> if a temporary difference between <u>accounting income</u> and <u>taxable income</u> is reconciled the following year.

<u>Deferred tax liability</u>

  • When<u> income tax expense is greater than income tax payable</u> as a result of no recognition of any noncash revenues in tax returns, some income payable is deferred to the future.
  • The <u>smaller</u> income tax payable on tax returns creates a <u>deferred tax liability</u>, which companies must meet by paying any deferred income tax payable in the future.
  • Deferred liabilities may be presented as <u>current liabilities</u> if a temporary difference between accounting income and taxable income is reconciled the following year.

Note: <u>The balance sheet extract is attached:</u>

<u></u>

<h2><u>Task c:</u></h2>

Assuming that the only deferred tax account at the beginning of 2017 was a deferred tax liability of $10,000,000, draft the income tax expense portion of the income statement for 2017, beginning with the line "Income before income taxes."
