Answer:

Gillette in India

The failure of the Vector was caused by the fact that Indian men have longer and thicker hair, which the lack of earlier research in the targeted demographic segment did not discover.

Explanation:

Since Indian men have longer and thicker hair than the local consumers of Gillette's razor products in America, an earlier research would have uncovered the fact.  Thereafter, the discovery would have been incorporated into the design and production of Vector for the Indian market. No wonder, with its Mach 3 Turbo razor, Gillette overcame its initial inertia and handicap and made a success of the razor business in India.

Below are several transactions for Meyers Corporation for 2018.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

$6,900

Explanation:

The cash flow statement includes three types of activities which are listed below:

1. Operating activities: This involves all transactions that after net income impact the working capital. It would subtract the rise in current assets and a reduction in current liabilities, while adding the decline in current assets and an increase in current liabilities.

It would adjust those changes in working capital. In addition, the depreciation cost is added to the net income, and the loss of asset sales is reduced, while the profit on asset sales is deducted

It also involve cash receipts and cash payments.

2. Investing activities: It tracks operations that include buying and selling long-term properties. The buying is a cash outflow whereas the sale is a cash inflow

3. Financing activities: It tracks transactions that have an impact on long-term debt and equity balance of shareholders. Share issue is a cash inflow while redemption and dividend are cash outflows.

So, the classification and the amount of cash flows is shown below:

a. Issue common stock for cash, $44,000 = $44,000 = Financing activities

b. Purchase building and land with cash, $29,000 = ($29,000) = Investing activities

c. Provide services to customers on account, $6,400 = Not applicable as this transaction does not involve any cash.

d. Pay utilities on building, $700 = ($700) = Operating activities

e. Collect $4,400 on account from customers = $4,400 = Operating activities

f. Pay employee salaries, $8,400. = ($8,400) = Operating activities

g. Pay dividends to stockholders, $3,400.  = ($3,400) = Financing activities

So, the cash flow would be

= $44,000 - $29,000 - $700 + $4,400 - $8,400 - $3,400

= $6,900

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The Accounting Equation states that;

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Equity as at 2016 = Assets - Liabilities

= 50 - 13

= $37 million

Equity as at 2017 = Assets - Liabilities

= 77 - 18

= $59 million

1. Timmy issued $13 million of stock and declared no dividends.

<em>The Net Income ( loss) will be the figure that gives the Statement of Equity a figure of $59 million.</em>

Net Income = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  - Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 - 13

= $9 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 13

Net income  ......................................................................9

Less: Dividends declared......................................................0

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

2. Timmy issued no stock but declared dividends of $17 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared

= 59 - 37 + 17

= $39 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 0

Net income  ......................................................................39

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(17)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59

3. Timmy issued $20 million of stock and declared dividends of $27 million.

Net Income (loss) = Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017 - Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  + Dividends Declared -  Issuance of stock

= 59 - 37 + 27 - 20

= $29 million

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2016  ................ 37

Add: Issuance of stock ......................................................... 20

Net income  ......................................................................29

Less: Dividends declared......................................................(27)

Net loss.......................................................................................0

Total stockholders' equity, January 31, 2017...................59
