Answer:
The cost price is the price you buy a product for. You need to compare the cost price to the selling price to know whether you got a profit or loss (did you make money or did you not).
If you don't know the cost price, you don't know whether you have a profit or loss. Of course everyone wants a profit (make money) so to determine a selling price the cost price is important.
Answer:
The answer is C.
Explanation:
Current ratio shows the liquidity of of a company. This ratio tells us how a company or business is able to meet its short obligation.
This ration is very important to lenders because they use it to know of you will be able to meet the interest payment and principal
The formula for current ratio is:
Current assets/current liabilities
Total current assets is $493,000, Total current liabilities is $357,000
= $493,000/$357,000
=1.38
Answer:
Option A,$72000
Explanation:
Bad debt expense is computed on the net credit sales amount, in other words, the bad debt expense is 12% of credit sales of $600,000.
Bad debt expense=$600,000*12%
=$72000
Option C is wrong because the answer was arrived at by calculating 12% of $750,000 the net sales amount that also has cash sales of $150,000 included in it($750000-$600000)
Option B is wrong as the amount of sales returns and allowances of $50,000 was deducted from $600,000 prior to applying 12% allowance for bad debt
Answer:
It suggests that they are not doing anything competitively different.
Explanation:
Network externalities if well harnessed should bring about an increase in end users satisfaction and value derived.
Multi housing costs, ordinarily, and when taken as a whole, should results to an overall minimization of the total costs. Economics of scales and other resources are centrally allocated here, and the effect should be a gain to the entity.
Level of differentiation across firm's offerings - products or services, signals the procedures an organization adopt to mark the uniqueness of their products or services. It shows how distant they are among the other varying sets.
Thus, from the case given, the four firms have the same share of the market - 25%. The implication is that as far as we are concerned, their level of activities and postures in the market is same and/or similar. This ultimately cuts across the network externalities, multi housing costs and the level of differentiation of firm's offerings. They are thus not competitively different.
Answer:
