BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

First of all, I believe that their is a mistake on the question, since the FMV of the machine should be $100,000, not $10,000, or else it wouldn't make much sense.

a. What are the amount and character of Mary's recognized gain or loss?

ordinary income of $10,000

The two year note is considered boot and therefore, Mary must report it as ordinary income.

b. What is Mary's basis in the stock and note? When does her holding period begin?

Mary's basis in the stock is $60,000 (the basis of the machine), and $0 for the note (recognized as ordinary income). Her holding period began three years ago when the machine was purchased.

c. What are the amount and character of Green's gain or loss?

Under a carryover basis limit rule (for a section 351 exchange), Green Corporation's basis is reduced, but it not considered a loss or a gain. The basis of the exchanged stock must equal the carryover basis of the property given in exchange.  

d. What is Green's basis in the machine? When does Green's holding period begin?

Same as Mary's, the basis is $60,000 and the holding period is 3 years. Since Mary owns 100% of Green Corporation as a result of the exchange, her basis and the corporation's basis will be the same.

Marketing Strategy Formulation
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Marketing Strategy Formulation

Goals indicate what a business unit wants to achieve; strategy answers how to get there.

Basic generic strategies

Overall cost leadership

The business works hard to achieve the lowest costs. The problem with this strategy is that other food trucks will usually emerge with still lower costs. The real key is for Chix and Waffles to achieve the lowest costs among those competitors adopting a similar differentiation or focus strategy.

Differentiation

The business concentrates on achieving superior performance in an important customer benefit area valued by a large part of the market(s).

Focus

The business focuses on one or more narrow market segments rather than going after a large market. The food truck gets to know the needs of these segments and pursues either cost leadership or a form of differentiation within the target segments.

Goal Formulation

Goals are listed hierarchically, from most to least important. State the objectives quantitatively with a time line and a due date. Your goal at this point of your business plan is to execute the business plan in order to achieve the budgeted profits by the end of the first quarter of re-opening.

Examples

Goal #1: Achieve budgeted profits of __________ by July 31, 2021.

Strategy #1 - How are you going to do it? Develop a statement or series of statements that tell how you are going to achieve profit. Use your cost control course or purchasing course to list a series of actions that will achieve the following costs.

Actions: Food cost: __________

Bar cost: ___________

Labor cost: _________

Strategy #2

Goal #2: Achieve budgeted sales of __________ by July 31, 2021.

Strategy #1 - How are you going to do it? Develop a statement around one of the three generic strategies listed above.

Actions: Achieve cost leadership of our direct competition through ________________ (use of publicist, advertising, promotions, TV, etc.).

Strategy #2

Goal #3: Execute cultural values to embrace market to build concept loyalty and build repeat customer trial to 12 visits per quarter by July 31, 2021.

For a perfectly competitive market to function properly, which of the following must buyers and sellers have access to? adequate
harina [27]
3. For a perfectly competitive market to function properly, buyers and sellers must have access to adequate information. Adequate information is such information that the purchaser considers important for him. So the purchaser, company or investors should have an opportunity to get the information how it is.

4. Natural monopoly can be explained like the situation where one company can supply market's entire with some unique raw materials or technology. So there can't be more than one company which provides this material or technology. According to this, I think the answer is diamonds.

5. As far as I remember, oligopoly is a market that has a few firms dominating the market. That means there is a small competition as there are small number of buyers and sellers.

6. If my memory serves me well, economies of scale happen <span>when a firms' long run average costs decrease with output. So if there is no economies of scale, I'm pretty sure that costs go up.

7. I think that correct definition looks like this: Combination of two or more companies in a single firm is called a merger. Resources of both companies are pooled together, and the owners of each company remain owners. There are to types of merger entities:
-Horizontal integration - if the merged companies are competitors.
- Vertical integration - if the companies are supplier and customer.

8. I am definitely sure that the answer is: </span>Offering products of different tastes and shapes is an example of non-price competition. That means that the competing companies wouldn't challenge by lowering the prices. Every competitor will focus on highlighting benefits of their product, to show that their product is better than another one.

9. The controller of a monopoly sets the price of goods by charging the price at which the profit is maximized. Monopoly is a firm which has no competition, so they doesn't have to worry about losing their customers. Company can set monopoly price which is pretty much higher than products marginal cost. That allows company to have maximum profit.

10. Many critics argue that government efforts to regulate industries have caused inefficiencies. Inefficiency means that the company can't achieve enough productivity. This caused because of high taxes, bureaucracy and other factors.

11. This agreement is called price-fixing. Companies which have come to this conspiracy can't sell goods below fixed price. There are many way to fix price by setting the price high or low. That leaves customer no choice and makes him to buy product at the fixed price.

12. D<span>eregulating industries is not a method that the government uses to intervene and prevent firms from controlling the price and supply of important goods. Deregulation of industry means that government power in a particular industry is reduced. Deregulation removes barriers to competition.

13. I think, I'd go with this: </span><span>Price Fixing, Collusion, And Cartels. Oligopolies can arrange those three together and that lets them to charge prices like monopoly. Government stays sharp with oligopolies using this method.

14. I think it's obviously a start-up costs. Every business need money to set it up. But all of them are different and require different types of costs. So it would be appropriate to create a business plan that helps to consider different start-up costs for your business.

15. I'm 100% sure, that the answer is: C</span><span>ompared to a market with perfect competition, a monopoly often has higher prices and fewer goods. Monopoly usually provides unique raw materials and technologies. As I've mentioned before, monopoly has no competition and it lets company to charge high prices for their goods.

16. I think that the </span><span>lack of technological know-how can't prevent the company being competitive as there's not the most important factor in a particular business.

17. As far as I remember, efficiency is one of the main characteristics of competitive market, which could be achieved with minimum government intervention.

18. According to what I've mentioned above about oligopoly, correct answer should be: E</span>conomists usually call an industry an oligopoly if the four largest firms produce at least 70–80 percent of the output.

19. As I've mentioned it in question 6. total cost curve with economies of scale will decrease on the increasing output. But it refers to firms long run average total cost.

20. I'm definitely sure that the answer is: <span>It has reduced start-up costs for many businesses. Because with the Internet, there's no necessary to set up brick and mortar business. You can just build your business online by making a website. This is a huge economy.</span>
