Answer / Explanation:

First let us define Intellectual Property Piracy: This can be defined as as or described as the unauthorized duplication, cloning or illegal distribution of copyright or patented material.

From the standpoint of a manager at Starbucks in china, intellectual property piracy is at his liberty in the sense that, although it is accepted that the enactment of the law protecting property right has been activated, it is not totally enforced in china. The intellectual property piracy was established by government legislation, administrative regulations, and decrees in the areas of trademark, copyright, and patent. This has led to the creation of a comprehensive legal framework to protect both local and foreign intellectual property. However, despite this copyright laws, violations are common in china. So relating back to the question, to the china manager of Starbucks, Intellectual Property Piracy is a norm that can not be challenged.

d. Newmont and Goldcorp - to acquire competitive advantage

e. Salesforce and Tableau Software - to boost revenue

3. Some of the M&A transactions do not make any strategic sense. For example, now that Raythem and UTC combined want to form the largest defense company, do they add much to their stockholders returns? Some others acquired to cut cost will experience the huge costs of acquisition, which are, most times, too large to be written off in a single year.

Explanation:

Major financial transactions done at the corporate level for the purpose of consolidating the assets of two or more companies, growing market share, and eliminating competition are called Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A). Consolidation of companies may be achieved through mergers, acquisitions, assets purchase, management acquisitions, etc.

Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.

Straight line:

2014 $ 65,250

2015 $ 87,000

2016 $ 87,000

2017 $ 21,750

units-of-output method:

2014 $ 108,750

2015 $ 79,750

2016 $ 58,000

2017 $ 14,500

dobule declining method

2014 135,000

2015 45,000

2016 15,000

2017 9,000

Explanation:

Straight line:

(cost - salvage value) / useful life

(270,000 - 9,000)/3 = 87,000 per complete year

First year: from April 1st to December 31th

87,000 x 9/12 = 65,250

Second and third year are complete year thus, 87,000

fourth year: from Jan 1st to March 31th:

87,000 x 3/12 = 21,750

units-of-output method:

(cost - salvage value) / unit of output

261,000 / 18,000 = 14.5 per hour

We multiply each year hours by this rate

7,500 x 14.5 = 108,750

5,500x 14.5 = 79,750

4,000x 14.5 = 58,000

1,000 x 14.5 = 14,500

double declining

we multiply by twice the rate of of straight line:

1/3 x 2 = 2/3 we depreciate this amount of the carrying vbalue per year

Last year we adjust to obtain the residual value

Year Beginning Rate Dep expense Carrying value

2014 270,000 0.50 135,000 135,000

2015 135,000 0.67 90,000 45,000

2016 45,000 0.67 30,000 15,000

Advocard [28]

Answer:

A journal is provided as an attachment to record the entries for Perez Computers.

Explanation:

The gross method of cash discounts assumes that the customer will not take advantage of the offered discount. It therefore records the sale in full without netting off the discount element. This was done in the answer.

When Robertson paid within 10 days, the 3% cash discount was allowed since payment was received within the terms of 15 days.

For The Clark Store, there was no discount because payment was received later than the allowed 10 days.
