The Tesla cars are generally more expensive because of their battery, so Elon is building this factory in order to make Tesla batteries cheaper, therefore reducing the overall price on the Tesla cars making them easily obtainable to all people.

Musk is pursuing this overall strategy because he thinks the market for the batteries will be higher than forecasted. Tesla not only plans to power their cars with these batteries, but also consumers’ homes. Tesla also builds and installs solar panels. This will create a product ecosystem much like Apple did with the iPod, Mac, iPhone. iPad, Apple Watch and Apple TV. The idea is that by buying one of the company’s products the consumer will be more likely to buy the other ‘parts’. In addition to this sales plan, by building a large facility he will employ the economies of scale and thus have the cheapest batteries available. By doing so he will secure market capitalization (the total amount of batteries sold by all companies).

Jole Co. lent $10,000 to a major supplier in exchange for a noninterest-bearing note due in three years and a contract to purcha
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Discount on note receivable and deferred charge.

Explanation:

The present value of the notes receivable has to be recorded by Jole Co. The reason this should be recorded as discount on note receivable is that the $10,000 will not be paid immediately but will be due for payment 3 years from the date the note was issued.

A deferred charge is an expense paid in advance and it is recorded and carried forward yearly in the balance sheet as an asset until when it is totally consumed or used. The 10% discount received by Jole Co. in the exchange agreement is a payment in advance and it will be recorded by Jole Co. as deferred charge. The reason is that it is a discount on the future purchase from the supplier over the next three years of a given amount of merchandise from the market price list.

I wish you the best.

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for computing net income and return on assets is shown below and the computation is also made.

Net income =  Sales revenue × Profit margin

                   = $2,150,000 × 7%

                   = $150,500

Return on assets = Net income ÷ total assets

                            = $150,500 ÷ $750,000

                            = 0.2006

                            = 20.06 %

Thus, the net income is $150,500 and the return on assets is 20.06 %
