The correct answer is A)  The name of the product, when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning.

Explanation:

In business, communication problems can emerge due to a difference in language that prevents the business from communicating appropriately its purpose, name, slogan, and from advertising its products. This mainly occurs if the translation does not reflect the original meaning or there are cultural features that create a barrier.

This situation occurs in "The name of the product when translated into Greek, has an unintentional meaning" because due to the lack of experience of the manager in Greece and the differences in language, she does not know how to communicate in Greek the name of the company, which creates a communicative barrier as Greek customers will not understanding the real meaning of the company.

Rebel Technology maintains its records using cash-basis accounting. During the year, the company received cash from customers, $
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The cash-basis net income and accrual-basis net income for the year is $19,500 and $22,800 respectively.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. Net income under cash basis:

= Received cash from customers - paid cash for salaries

= $43,000 - $23,500

= $19,500

2. Net income under accrual basis:

= Cash received - salary paid

where,

Cash received = Cash owed at the end of the year + cash received - cash owed at the beginning of the year

= $6,600 + $43,000 - $1,000

= $48,600

And, the salary paid = salary owed at the end of the year + salary paid - salary owed at the beginning of the year

= $5,600 + $23,500 - $3,300

= $25,800

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $48,600 - $25,800

= $22,800

lara [203]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

from the CAPM formula we can derive the statemeent as true.

Ke= r_f + \beta (r_m-r_f)

risk free = 0.05

market rate = 0.12

premium market = (market rate - risk free) 0.07

beta(non diversifiable risk) = 0

Ke= 0.05 + 0 (0.07)

Ke 0.05000

As the beta multiplies the difference between the market rate and risk-free rate a beta of zero will nulify the second part of the equation leaving only the risk-free rate. This means the portfolio is not expose to volatility
