A pharmaceutical company purchased a patent for a new drug October 1 for $8,000,000. The remaining legal life of the patent is 1

0 years but the firm only expects to benefit from the patent for 5 years. No residual value is expected. Assuming the straight-line method is used, what is the amortization expense, if any, for the current accounting period (year) ending on 12/31

Answer: $400,000

Explanation:

When calculating the amortization of a patent, we either use the legal life or the useful life depending on which is shorter which in this case is the useful life.

Annual Amortization;

= (Cost - Salvage value) / 5 years

= (8,000,000 - 0) / 5

= $1,600,000

Patent was purchased October 1. October to December is 3 months.

Depreciation for the year is therefore;

= 1,600,000 * 3/12

= $400,000

When using horizontal differentiation, a firm divides itself into subunits based on function, type of business, or.
Vitek1552 [10]

When using horizontal differentiation, a firm divides itself into sub units based on function, type of business, or Geographic area

Horizontal Differentiation :

Horizontal differentiation refers to distinctions in products that cannot be easily evaluated in terms of quality. This stands in contrast to vertical differentiation, where the distinctions between products are objectively measurable and are based in the products' respective level of quality. Horizontally differentiated products vary only marginally, as it's more efficient for producers to try to capture as many new consumers as possible with minimal additional costs. While horizontally differentiated products tend to command similar prices at equilibrium, the lack of relationship to quality does not necessarily imply that they cost the same -- two products may be virtually identical in all considerations except for color or flavor and still be offered at totally different prices.

What is meant by geographical area?

Geographical Area means an area covering all or part of the territory of a Member State or extending to all or part of the territory of other Member States.

An area of land that can be considered as a unit for the purposes of some geographical classification.

Palin's Muffler Shop has one standard muffler that fits a large variety of cars. The shop wishes to establish a periodic review
forsale [732]

Answer:

A.) 270 units (b.) Increase

Explanation:

Given the following :

Annual demand (A) = 2870

Working days = 205

Review period (P) = 16 working days

Lead time (L) = 2 working days

Standard deviation (σ) = 6 per working day

Service probability = 76%

Therefore, z = NORMSINV(0.76) = 0.71

Average demand (D) = 2870 / 205 = 14

Optimum target level, (S) is given by the relation:

D×(P+L) + z×σ×√(P+L)

14×(16+2) + 0.71×6×√(16+2)

(14×18) + 4.26 × √18

252 + 4.26*4.242

252 + 18.07

= 270.07 units = 270 units

B) If service probability increases to 97%, Z will automatically increase, hence a corresponding increase in the optimal target level.

You were able to purchase two tickets to an upcoming concert for $100 apiece when the concert was first announced three months a
dusya [7]

Answer: $450

Explanation:

Total tickets purchased = 2

The cost of one ticket three months ago = $100

Current price of one ticket = $225

Total cost of two tickets = $225 × 2

                                        = $450

The opportunity cost is the benefit that is foregone by selecting some other alternative. So, here two options are available that either attend the concert or resell the ticket at $450. Therefore, the opportunity cost of attending the concert is $450.

Two methods of accounting for uncollectible accounts are the
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Correct option is (d)

Explanation:

An account is termed uncollectible if they are not expected to be paid. There are two methods to write off these accounts:

1. Direct write off method: In this, the account recognized at uncollectible is directly charged to profit and loss account as an expense.

2. Allowance method: Under this method, a provision for doubtful debt is created where anticipated bad debts are charged. When an account needs to be written off, doubtful debt is debited and accounts receivables are credited.
