Answer:
Jan's Bakery and Tina Cookies
Total Average Cost for the merged firm
= ($300,000 + $75,000)/2
= $187,500
Explanation:
The total average cost for Jan's Bakery and Tina's Cookies is the average of their total operating costs. This is obtained by adding $300,000 to $75,000 and then dividing by 2.
Though, in practical terms, the presence of some synergies will cut some of the operating costs off, especially such costs as rent, advertising, and some other administrative costs. Some selling costs will also be eliminated when the merger goes through.
Answer:
B. In the winter, when water use is low, precipitation exceeds evapotranspiration
Explanation:
A water budget can be seen as the relationship between the inflow and outflow of water through a specified region. It gives a general Idea of the relationship between the demand and supply of water in that region.
Evapotransipration is the loss of water from the soil through evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants, while precipitation refers to rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground.
During winters due to the cold temperatures, the rate of water loss from the soil and from plants is much lower than the amount of precipitation which is on form of snow.
Snow covers most of the soil, freezing the soil water at the surface of the soil, making it difficult for evapotranspiration to occur. In addition to that, most deciduous trees shed their leaves during this period further reducing the total amount of transpiration in that region.
This makes option B correct
Answer:
a. $51,840
b. $15,440
Explanation;
a. First find the excess fair-value allocation;
= Fair value of Nephew - Book Value
Fair Value = Uncle ownership + Non-controlling interest
= 672,000 + 168,000
= $840,000
Excess fair value = 840,000 - 806,000
= $34,000
Any excess fair-value allocations are amortized over a 10-year period;
= 34,000/10
= $3,400
The Income to be recognized will be reduced by this yearly amotization so the 2014 income recognized by Uncle would be;
= (Nephew income - Amortization) * Uncle ownership stake
= ( 68,200 - 3,400) * 0.8
= $51,840
b. Nephew Company also owns 30% of Uncle which means that they will receive 30% of Uncle dividends.
= 0.3 * 30,000
= $9,000
Added to their own income;
= 9,000 + 68,200
= $77,200
The Non-controlling interest owns 20% so the income they will recognise is;
= 0.2 * 132,100
= $15,440
Alicia’s views are similar to symbolic interactionists. Symbolic interactionism is a sociological theory that states that how an individual engages with symbols explain the behavior that they are exhibiting.
This perspective believes that how an individual interacts with other individual in a group explains best the structure that underlies the group itself. We can see that Alicia subscribes to this point-of-view from how she believes that an employee’s understanding of a situation reflects how she or her engages with other members’ of the company.
