Clear Calls Inc., a telephone service provider, has a large user base mainly because phone calls and messages between all Clear

Calls users are free. When a person switches to a Clear Calls network, his or her entire network of family and friends is likely to switch to the same network to avail the benefit of free calls and messages. In addition, an existing user who gets a new user to register with Clear Calls Inc. is given a free wireless connection. This has helped to keep competition away from Clear Calls. In this scenario, which of the following factors is acting as an entry barrier for Clear Calls Inc.?
A. economies of scale
B. high capital requirement
C. network effects
D. high fixed costs
C. network effects

Answer: The correct answer is "C. network effects".

Explanation: It is said that a network effect occurs when the value of a good or service depends on the number of people who use it. In general, when there is a network effect, the higher the number of users, the greater the value or utility will have that good or service. Therefore the network effects are acting as an entry barrier.

Scarcity occurs when the demand for something exceeds the supply. Examples often occur with natural resources when they are over used. Think of over fishing, hunting or poor farming. The choice to over hunt in present may cost hunting opportunities in the future.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Becker Company

The amount that Becker will report as Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

= $22,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Year 2 Beginning balance:

Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) = $10,800 credit

Year 2 reported net income = $653,000

Unrealized gain during Year 2 = $12,000

The Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the Year 2 balance sheet is:

Beginning balance $10,800

Unrealized gain        12,000

AOCI for Year 2 = $22,800

b) Becker's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income includes unrealized gains and losses arising from some investments, pension plans, and hedging transactions.  These are usually reported in the equity section of the balance sheet and then netted off from the retained earnings.

I think Sophia is responding to Brand Image Consistency.

This retailing challenge must meet Sophia's expectation on what she saw on its website and ads to what she will actually see in person. The image of the brand must be consistent from its advertisement to its actual product.

(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Alesi Corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850 and have a
gavmur [86]

Answer:

(A) Payback period for the machine= 3.5 years

(B) Simple rate of return for the machine= 87.5%

Explanation:

Alesu corporation is considering purchasing a machine that would cost $283,850

The useful life is 5 years

The machine would reduce cash operating costs by $81,100 per year

The salvage value is $107,100

(A) The payback period for the machine can be calculated as follows

= cost/amount of cash flow

= 283,850/81,100

= 3.5 years

(B) The simple rate of return for the machine can be calculated as follows

First we calculate the depreciation expense

= 283,850-107,100/5

= 176,750/5

= 35,350

Annual incremental income= cost savings -depreciation expenses

= 283,850-35,350

= 248,500

Simple rate of return = annual incremental income/cost × 100

= 248,500/283,850 × 100

= 0.875 × 100

= 87.5%
