Answer:

A product's life cycle is generally divided into four stages:

Introduction: requires a very large marketing effort (a lot of money invested), sales are generally low but the goal is to establish the product in the customers' minds.
Growth: Sales start to pick up as customers accept the new product or service, and new competitors might appear. Companies have to try to differentiate their product from the competition.
Maturity: sales reach their highest peak. Many companies extend the growth stage by making small changes and different versions of the product or service. Competition is generally very intense at this stage and since the market growth stalls, each company tries to win the market share of other companies.
Decline: sales start to decline since the product or service might become obsolete. Competition starts to shrink since companies start to exit the market. Companies might extend the decline stage by adding new uses for their products or cutting prices.

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000

Explanation:

Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.

In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500
