Please find full question attached

Answer and Explanation:

I will use Apple and HP in this comparison.Here I would compare Apple's laptop to that of Hewlet Packard as this is where they meet in the industry. Apple employs a strategy of differentiation and standing out in competition through their products. They aim to create products that are quite different and unique/innovative from other products in the market, and yet what the customer wants. In doing this, Apple has a trade-off for cost as they charge alot higher for their products than their competitors. HP on the other hand focus on making the best possible products that get the job done/meet the needs of customers while also being affordable. HP is more focused on affordable devices for their market and therefore have a different market segment for laptops from that of Apple. There is a trade-off for cost and market segment in this comparison

Precision Camera Services started the year with total assets of​ $120,000 and total liabilities of​ $40,000. The company is a so
eimsori [14]

Answer:

$125,000

Explanation:

Opening values of;

Total assets =​ $120,000

Total liabilities = $40,000

Total equity = $120,000 - $40,000 = $80,000

During the year,

Total revenues = $140,000

Total expenses = $50,000

Withdrawal by owner = $45,000

The amount withdrawn by the owner reduces the owners equity. This may be deducted from the net income.

Net income from the year = $140,000 - $50,000 - $45,000

                                           = $45,000

This will be added to the opening owner's equity to get the closing owner's equity.

Owner's equity at the end of the​ year = $80,000 + $45,000  

                                                               = $125,000

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Net income= $11,412.2

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

sales of $46,382

interest expense of $3,854

cost of goods sold of $16,659

selling and administrative expense of $11,766

depreciation of $6,415

t=0.35

We need to use the following formula:

Net income= (sales - COGS - selling and administrative expense - interest expense - depreciation) - tax + depreciation

First, we deduct Depreciation to decrease the tax base, but because it is not an actual payment, we have to sum it after tax.

Sales= 46,382

COGS= (16,659)

Gross profit= 29,723

Selling and administrative expense= (11,766)

Interest=(3,854)

Depreciation= (6,415)

EBT= 7,688

Tax= (7,688*0.35)= (2,690.8)

Depreciation= 6,415

Net income= $11,412.2

Service products cannot generally be produced in ________or __________. Services are typically _________________________________
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Service products cannot generally be produced in advance or stored.

Services are typically variable, and in almost every service offering, the service cannot start until the customer arrives and actively participates.

Explanation:

Services have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them  from goods.

To start with, services cannot be produced in advance as production and consumption happen at the same time.

Also,the customer must be present and actively contributes to the delivery of the service, for instance, haircut cannot happen except the customer comes to the salon and obeys the instructions of the barber as they go along.

Besides,there is no physical substance in service unlike purchase of goods.

Because risk is associated with the potential for higher profits, business persons are motivated to choose organizational forms
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The reason why every business exists is to make a profit. Hopefully businesses will be able to make a profit by selling products or services that satisfy the needs of their customers. The problem with higher profits is that they are always associated with higher risks, and business owners and investors are risk averse.

Business owners and managers will continually search for ways to increase their profits while keeping the risks as low as possible. This includes choosing organizational layouts and forms that might help them increase their profits while reducing risks or at least keeping them under a certain level.
