Answer: I found the complete question on Google:

By 2017, McDonald's had stopped selling Chicken McNuggets and other products made from chickens fed antibiotics. The change increased McDonald's costs, but an article in the Wall Street Journal noted that "...McDonald's ability to raise its prices is limited because of stiff competition."Source: David Kesmodel, Jacob Bunge, and Annie Gasparro, "McDonald's to Curb Antibiotics in Chicken," Wall Street Journal, March 4, 2015. Does this "stiff competition" mean that the demand curve for McDonald's Chicken McNuggets is horizontal? Briefly explain.

And the correct answer is: "B. No, the demand curve is not horizontal because Chicken McNuggets are not identical to other chicken products.".

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Additional paid-in capital is $904,200

Explanation:

Number of shares, issued and outstanding = 93,000 shares

Acquired 2,460 shares of its stock for $75,000.

Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share.

Sold the remaining 460 treasury shares at $20 per share.

i) Acquired 2,460 shares of its stock for $75,000.

= Treasury Stock Dr $75,000

ii) Sold 2,000 treasury shares at $35 per share.

Treasury Stock (2,000 × $35) = Dr $70,000

iii) Sold the remaining treasury shares at $20 per share.

Treasury Stock (460 × $20) = Dr $9,200

Total Treasury Stock = $75,000 - $70,000 - $9,200

= ($4,200)

Paid in Cap-tresury stock= 10,000-5000=5000

Additional Paid in capital = Paid in Capital - treasury stock

= 900,000 + 4,200 = $904,200

What policy of gorbachev's called on the soviet people to openly discuss or criticize the soviet government and economy and ulti

Gennadij [26K]

A series of political and economic changes known as perestroika, or "restructuring" in Russian, were implemented to revitalize the Soviet Union's sluggish economy in the 1980s. President Mikhail Gorbachev, who designed it, would preside over the nation's most significant political and economic reforms since the Russian Revolution. But the Soviet Union's dissolution in 1991 was largely caused by the suddenness of these reforms, which were accompanied with rising instability both inside and beyond the Soviet Union.

What was the policy of Gorbachev's on Social and political topics?

The Soviet Union's policy of free discourse on social and political topics was known as glasnost (Russian for "openness"). The Soviet Union started to become democratic after Mikhail Gorbachev implemented it in the late 1980s. In the end, the Soviet Union's political system underwent substantial changes: the Communist Party's influence was diminished, and multi-candidate elections were held. Additionally, Glasnost allowed media outlets to more freely disseminate news and information and tolerated criticism of government authorities.

Depreciation Methods Vorst Corporation's schedule of depreciable assets at December 31, 2016, was as follows: Asset Cost Accumul

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

c. $14,400

Explanation:

Double declining depreciation method can be described as an accelerated depreciation technique which charges depreciation expense faster than the straight-line depreciation method, because double declining method obtains its depreciation rate by multiplying the rate of straight-line depreciation method by 2.

From the Vorst Corporation's schedule of appreciable assets at December 31, 2016, the following data are obtained for Asset A:

Cost = $100,000

Accumulated Depreciation = $64,000

Acquisition Date = 2015

Residual value = $20,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Therefore, we have:

Straight line method depreciation rate = 1 / Estimated useful life = 0.20, or 20%

Double declining depreciation rate = Straight line method depreciation rate * 2 = 40%

Beginning book value in 2017 = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $100,000 - $64,000 = $36,000

Depreciation expense for 2017 = Beginning book value in 2017 * Double declining depreciation rate = $36,000 * 40% = $14,400.

Therefore, Vorst should record $14,400 as depreciation expenses in 2017 for Asset A.

Important End Note:

Under the double declining depreciation method, residual is adjusted for in the last year of the estimated useful life of the asset.

Based on the information for Asset A, its last useful year is 2019 and that is why the residual value is not adjusted for in 2017 above.
