Answer:

The exchange rate that will be used to re-measure patents for the consolidated statements dated December 31, 2020 is:

= 1 pound = $1.55.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Patents on the books of a British subsidiary = 50,000 pounds

Patent's acquisition date = 2017 at 1 pound = $1.50

Subsidiary's acquisition date = 2019 at 1 pound = $1.40

Current exchange rate, most current balance sheet on December 31, 2020 = 1 pound = $1.55.

Average rate of exchange for 2020 is $1.53

Value of Patent for the consolidated accounts = $77,500 (50,000 pounds * $1.55)

b) The accounting standard rule is that assets and liabilities of subsidiaries should be consolidated at the current exchange rates.  Business transactions are translated at the average rate of exchange for the year.  For equity accounts, you can use either the current or historical exchange rates.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$14,000

Explanation:

Company X                                               Company Y

cost per equipment $75,000                  cost per equipment $65,000

sales price $105,000                                sales price $91,000

Both companies sold one unit and they exchanged clients in order to reduce shipping cost:

company X income = $105,000 (selling price) - $75,000 (COGS) + $14,000 (money received from company Y) = $44,000

company Y's income = $91,000 (selling price) - $65,000 (COGS) - $14,000 (money given to company X) = $12,000

This exchange resulted in company X's income increasing by $14,000, while company Y's income decreased by $14,000

Pizza Hut's website __________ are integrated with the company's overall communications programs - including traditional media -
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

e. content; communications

Explanation:

The website content refers to all multimedia and text found on it. Content should always be relevant and aligned with the company's overall communications plan.

A key part of<u> </u><u><em>integrated marketing communications (IMC)</em></u> is the fact that a company should have all of its media deliver a consistent marketing message.  That applies to the website's content and communications too, as it must integrate those factors with other media and platforms. All the media should cover the same topics - company promotions, product innovation or special customer incentives.

<em>Context, commerce </em>and<em> connection</em> are irrelevant terms for the IMC concept.

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: constructive delivery

Explanation: In simple words, constructive delivery refers to the actions when one individual transfers the tile to other by operation of law when the actual delivery is not possible in the situation.

Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B .

Which statement is the best description of a price‑taker as it pertains to perfect competition?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Mary Beth grows cotton. She finds that she can always sell her entire crop at the market price. However, if she asks a price that is even slightly higher she cannot sell any of her cotton.

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a market where competition is at the highest degree possible. Perfect competitive markets have the following characteristics:

  1. <em>All companies sell the same goods or services.  </em>
  2. <em>All companies are price takers.  </em>
  3. <em>All firms have relatively small market shares.  </em>
  4. <em>Buyers have full product and price information.  </em>
  5. <em>The industry is characterized by low or no barriers to entry and exit of the industry.</em>

<em />

Thus, <em>in Mary Beth's case, she cannot ask for a different price than the one of the market because in a perfectly competitive market it is controlled by supply and demand. Companies cannot set the price.</em>
