Answer:

Journal entry

Explanation:

Before passing the journal entry we need to do the following calculations

Uncollected amount is

= $4,400 × 50%

= $2,200

Uncollected amount is

= ($4,400 - $2,200) × 0.03

= $2,200 × 0.03

= $66

So, the total amount is

= $2,200 + $66

= $2,266

Now the journal entry is

Bad debt expense $2,266

        To Allowance for uncollectible accounts $2,266

(Being the uncollectible account is recorded)

Answer:

The right answer is:

(a) 5916 units

(b) 5046 units

Explanation:

Given:

Sales,

= $59

Variable cost,

= $30

Fixed cost,

= $171,564

Increased sale,

= $64

Now,

(a)

Contribution margin will be:

= Sales - Variable \ cost

= 59-30

= 29 \ per \ unit ($)

hence,

Breakeven will be:

= \frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}

= \frac{171564}{29}

= 5916 \ units

(b)

Contribution margin will be:

= Sales-Variable \ cost

= 64-30

= 34 \ per \ unit ($)

hence,

Breakeven will be:

= \frac{Fixed \ cost}{Contribution \ margin}

= \frac{171564}{34}

= 5046 \ units

Firms that can employ and establish _________________, are more likely to protect their competitive advantage from being copied
pishuonlain [190]

Firms that can employ and establish <u>isolating mechanisms</u> are more likely to protect their competitive advantage from being copied and/or eroding away.

Isolation mechanisms:

A company is able to maintain its competitive edge for a longer period of time if it can stop a rival from copying the resource or capability that provides it that advantage. Isolation mechanisms is the name of this technique. For instance, a patent is a legitimate tool to stop imitation.

A firm's objective is to have a prolonged competitive advantage when a resource or capability gives the firm an advantage over competitors for an extended period of time. The industry will determine how long a company can preserve a competitive advantage.

If a business can maintain a competitive edge for a year in a fast-moving field like information technology or quick fashion, it may be quite happy. In an industry with less frequent changes, such as feminine hygiene, a persistent competitive advantage may remain considerably longer.

A sustainable competitive edge cannot be maintained by any company indefinitely. The competition is constantly working to improve its own competitive edge.
