Answer:
Option A; INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS.
Explanation:
Innovation occurs only when something is entirely new, having never been done before. Innovation also exist when something which may have been done elsewhere is done for the first time in a given industry.
On the other hand, when other competitors in the same industry subsequently copy the innovator, even though it is something new for them, then it is imitation.
When a company comes out with a new product, its competitors typically go on the defensive, doing whatever they can to reduce the odds that the offering will eat into their sales. Responses might include: cranking up marketing efforts, offering discounts to channel partners and even lobbying for regulations that would hinder the rival's expansion.
Therefore, Lilypad's managers should prepare for INCREASED COMPETITION FROM IMITATORS next.

Answer:

Explanation:
Since the offer to repurchase the stock's is contingent (or depends on) the fact that 64% of all outstanding stocks are tendered, there is absolutely no assurance that the threshold (64%) will be met. So there is no assurance that the stockholder is going to be paid (there is no guaranteed payment at all) if he/she decides to tender the stocks.
Answer:
On Jan 31
Vacation pay expense Dr $8,900
To vacation payable $8,900
(Being the vacation expense is recorded)
Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows
On Jan 31
Vacation pay expense Dr $8,900
To vacation payable $8,900
(Being the vacation expense is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= Estimated amount of the current year's vacation pay ÷ total number of months in a year
= $106,800 ÷ 12 months
= $8,900
For recording this transaction we debited the vacation expense as it increased the expenses while at the same time it also increased the liabilities so the vacation payable is credited
Answer:
E) they were not involved in setting the goals
Explanation:
I personally like management by objectives (MBO) since it is a management model that encourages employee participation in the decision making processes and goal setting processes for an organization.
When the employees feel that they have a saying in the decision making processes or goal setting processes, they are really motivated to reach those goals and give their best to prove that they were right when they proposed something. The motivation is different.
In this case, the exact opposite is happening. An order coming from some distant headquarter that was made without any type of employee participation is going to generate frustration and problems.
