Answer:
Option C is correct one.
Interest expense 773
Discount on bonds payable 73
Cash 700
Explanation:
2016 interest expense = initial issue price, which is the 1/1/2014 book value x the market (effective) interest rate
= $9,668 x 08
= $773
Cash interest payment
= maturity value of the bond x the stated interest rate = $10,000 x .07
= $700
Amortization of discount on bonds payable
= interest expense - interest cash payment
= $773 - $700.
= $73
Answer:
You agree that test marketing could be helpful, but you point out that it may also reveal your ideas to your competitors.
Explanation:
In the give scenario the existing famous cheesy butter biscuits sales are going down. In an effort to increase the revenue of the business the head of product development has a theory that people want lighter options today, and she has recommended test marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities across the United States.
This is an innovative solution to the problem and the head of product development should be encouraged to drive the test marketing.
However marketing a lower-fat version of the biscuits at select locations in eight major cities will expose the strategy to competitors. It will be better to conduct the test in a more controlled environment away from competitors.
