Answer:
The reported book value of the franchise will be $200000
Explanation:
An intangible asset is an asset that lacks a physical substance. The value of an intangible asset is amortized just as the value of a tangible/physical asset is depreciated.
The straight line amortization charges a constant amortization expense through out the expected useful life of the intangible asset.
The formula to calculate the straight line amortization per year is,
Amortization expense per year = Cost / Expected Useful life
Amortization expense per year = 300000 / 6 = $50000 per year
The book value of an asset is the value after deducting the accumulated depreciation/amortization from the cost.
Book value = cost - accumulated depreciation or amortization
Book value = 300000 - (50000 * 2) = $200000
<span>The correct answer is C. Equipment loans are not usually tied to the redevelopment of the business real estate in any way. Equipment and real estate are two distinct classes of business assets. An equipment loan would, however, be tired to the equipment itself as the nature of the equipment would determine the amount of the loan. The equipment would also usually serve as collateral on the loan. The financial position of the borrow and the business's overall cash flow (but mainly its operating cash flow) would also be tied to the equipment loan in that these items would help the bank assess the risk of the loan and therefore determine the interest rate and terms of the loan.</span>

Answer:
Explanation:
MTV and cable channels can have higher operating profits largely because they have lower costs and can reach very specific demographic groups quite easily. MTV and Nickleodeon are typically not paying high and uncertain prices for their shows. They air mainly reruns of proven shows or relatively low-cost reality shows. This means that they have more cost certainty.
In addition, they have very clear target audiences where the networks do not. MTV is clearly aimed at teens and young adults while Nickleodeon is a kids' channel. Advertisers are attracted to channels with such clear demographics.
As far as Porter's five forces go, the most likely reason for the higher cable profits would have to do with brand equity and the lower propensity among buyers to substitute.
These would mean that cable channels have a lower threat of new competition and a lower threat of substitute products. It is true that it is easy for a new cable channel to be created, but it is much harder for such a channel to get the name recognition and brand equity that MTV and Nickleodeon have.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
One of the problems in economics is the allocation of goods in the presence of externalities. When externalities are present allocation of goods in private market won't be efficient because private parties won't internalize them and would arrive to an inefficient outcome. For many years this was an argument in favor of government intervention.
However, Ronald Coase showed that assigning property rights of the externality to one of the private parties (no matter which one) would result in an efficient outcome. This is because the parties with the property right would then internalize the cost. Then in the bargaining process private parties would reach an efficient outcome without the intervention of the government.
