Answer:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Explanation:

When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.

But here, the parent company uses, initial value method for internal reporting.

Under initial value method the value of investment in subsidiary is recorded at cost, and then adjusted at year end at fair value, this clearly shows the gain or loss at each year end from such investment as per market norms.

There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.

The correct reason therefore, is:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Howard Weiss, Inc,. is considering building a sensitive new radiation scanning device. His managers believe that there is a prob

SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Consider the following information

Probability of ATR coming up with a competitive product is 0.35

If ATR does not come up with a competitive product and H adds an assembly line, the profit is $60,000

If it adds an assembly line and ATR adds the product, the profit is $20,000

If H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product, the profit is $600,000

If ATR does not enter the market, the loss for H is $120,000

A) Expected value for the add assembly line option:

The company would get a profit of $60,000 if ATR does not come up with a competitive product. If ATR comes up with a competitive product and H adds an assembly line, the profit is $20,000.

Probability of not coming up with a product is 0.65 (1-0.35)

Calculate the value if it does not come up with a new product line and H adds an assembly line as follows:

Value if it does not come up with a new product = 0.65 x $60,000

= $39,000

Calculate the value if it comes up with a new product line and H adds an assembly line as follows:

Value if it does come up with a new product = 0.35 x $20, 000 = $7,000

Calculate the expected value as follows:

Expected value = S39000 + $7000

Expected value =$46,000

Expected value for build new plant option:

If H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product, the profit is $600,000

If ATR does not enter the market, the loss for H is $120,000

Calculate the value if H adds a new assembly but ATR does not come up with a competitive product as follows:

Value if it does not come up with a new product = 0.65 x $600000

= $390, 000

Calculate the value if ATR does not enter the market:

Value if it does not compete in market = 0.35 x -$120000 = -$42, 000

Calculate the expected value as follows:

Expected value= $390,000 - $42,000

Expected value =$348,000

The expected value of building a plant is more than the expected value of adding product line. Therefore, the best alternative is to build the plant.

B) Calculation of expected value of perfect information (EVPI):

EVPI = 0.65 x $600,000 + 0.35 x $120,000

EVPI = $390,000 + $42,000

EVPI =$432,000

Calculation of value of return:

Value of return = Value of perfect information - Maximum EMV

Value of return =$432,000 - 348,000

Value of return =$84,000

The advent of containerization has:

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": significantly lowered the costs of shipping goods over long distances.

Explanation:

Containerization is the method of transporting goods in containers. These technique has become standard in freight transport having regulated the dimensions and maximum capacity of materials being moved. One of the big advantages containerization has provided is to transport different materials from different entities all together which implies sharing the costs of the same container, something that lowers the price of the transportation regardless if it is domestic or international.

The stock price of Webber Co. is $68. Investors require an 11 percent rate of return on similar stocks.

zheka24 [161]

To get the growth rate, we will follow the Gordon Growth modelP= D/(K-G)whereP= stock value=$68D= Expected dividend=$3.85G= Growth rateK= required rate of returnG =K-(D/P)Substitute the given valuesG= 0.11-(3.85/68)
G= 5.34%The growth rate for stock required is 5.34%

A simultaneous increase in both unemployment and inflation is most likely to be the result of a(n): Group of answer choices decr

sesenic [268]

Answer: Decrease in the short run aggregate supply. increase in long run aggregate supply

Explanation:

assuming the wage stays constant in the short run (price of labour), an increase inflation/general prices will lead to a decrease in the Supply of labour because the current wage is no longer enough to cover the same number of goods people used to buy which will then increase Unemployment. The Labor market will experience a situation where inflation and unemployment are increasing at the same time

The Supply of Labour will increase in the Long run because the wage price will have sufficient time to adjust and increase to a new equilibrium level. .an increase in wage price will increase the quantity of supplied.
