Answer:

Lloyd needs to increase his witholding tax to $1,560 this year in order to avoid the underpayment penalty .

Explanation:

As a rule, a citizen can maintain a strategic distance from an underpayment of punishment if their retention and evaluated assessment installment measure up to or surpass one of the two safe harbours

90% of current expense risk = 90% × $11,350

= $10,215

100% of past assessment risk = $15,900

Since his(Lloyd) retention is not equal to or exceed $10,215 or $15,900

Llyod should expand retaining or make payment this year in order to stay away from underpayment punishment

= $10,215 - $8,655

= $1,560

Think of a firm that has attained a differentiation focus or cost focus strategy. Are its advantages sustainable? Why? Why not?
quester [9]

Answer:

Yes they are sustainable

Explanation:

The strategies mentioned in the question were laid out my Michael Porter and therefore, we can look analyse his model to understand whether these strategies are sustainable or not.

Porter has categorized strategies into 3 broad categories: Cost Leadership, Differentiation, and Focus strategies (all three are known as "Generic Strategies). Focus strategy is branched out into two sub-segments known as Cost Focus and Differentiation Focus.

Now, the question has already clarified that the strategies in question are both focus strategies. So lets understand what each entails.

Differentiation Focus: A strategy in which the company aims to gain market leadership in a focused market (a specific market) through strategic differentiaion. This strategic differentiaion involves offering a specialized service or a unique product in a niche market. Cost focus strategy is similar in the sense is that that the aim is to offer highly low cost products/services to a niche market. Because of the focus on these niche markets, company's develop a strong understansing of the consumer thereby developing strong brand loyalty with that particular customer base. The key ingredient, again, is that the competitive advantage is being harnessed by focusing just on a particular niche market. Another key component is that the companies using this strategy rely on the consumers in the target market having different needs, tastes, and requirements than consumers in other segments in the industry.

Now, these strategies by desig were put forth my Porter has being sustainable. Hence the term "generic strategies" in that they can be broadly used to create and sustain performance. The focus strategies as defined above are sustainable since they harness the power of having priority knowledge of their target market to provide appropriate services and products. The high brand loyalty and knowledge of consumers give them an edge over competitors (competitive rivalry). Supplier power depends on the nature of products being offered therefore it cant be taken into consideration. Buyer power can be managed since you are prodiving unique service offerings to unique customers. Threat of substitution depends on the product and service offering. Threat of new entry by larger player exists, but due to the focus that the company had in the target market, barriers to entry (long strong brand loyalty) can be developed.

Dr Treasury stock $416,000

Cr Cash $416,000

(26,000 shares*$16 per share)

Dr Cash $161,000

(7,000*$23)

Cr Teasury stock $112,000

($16 per *7,000)

Cr Additional Paid-in Capital $49,000

($161,000-$112,000)

Dr Cash $117,000

(9,000*$13)

Dr Additional Paid-in Capital $27,000

($144,000-$117,000)

Cr Teasury stock $144,000

($16*9,000)

Suppose a riskless project requires an initial investment of $10 and will generate a one-time cash inflow of $30 two years later
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

D. The payback period is less than 2 years.

Explanation:

Discount rate                 5%  

                                        0      1          2

intital investment        -10  

cash flow                       0        30

Total cash flow         -10      0        30

NPV                        17.21  

IRR                                 73%  

Therefore, The NPV is 17.21 and is positive, the statement is True.

IRR > 50%, Therefore the statement made is True

Accounting rate of return = {[(30 - 10)/10]^(1/2)} - 1

                                           = 41% > 0

Therefore, The statement made is true.

Payback period = 2 years, Therefore the statement made is NOT true.
