Answer: No, it is not easy for new firms to enter to market where there is oligopolis competition.

Explanation:

Oligopolis is a market condition in which few firms take the advantage to run their business and they do not allow small competitors to interfere and put barriers and obstacles for small competitors so that they cannot compete with them and do not earn anything. Those powerful competitors can make up the huge amount of profit. Also few sellers attain significant power in the market and prevent other.

Supplies inventory =

Supplies expense =

Account payable =

Explanation:

Supplies account at the beginning of the year = $1,900

Purchases during the year= $5,600

Payment during the year = $2,800

Supplies counted at the end of the year = $3,300

Supplies used in year 1 = $1,900 + $5,600 - $3,300

Account payable at the end of the year = $4,200 - $2,800

= -$1,400

andre [41]

Explanation:

The preference committee members are as follows:

Member 1 prefers a to b and b to c

Member 2 prefers c to a and a to b

Member 3 prefers b to c and c to a

The order of this problem can be solved:

Preference for 1, 2 and 3 are as below:

1. a then b then c

2. c then a then b

3. b then c then

Member 1 knowing advantage , will always disagree with 2 and 3 so that he can win when it comes to vote

So, 2 and 3 in order to win , will have to cooperate with each other.

As we can see that the least suitable option according to Member 2 and Member 3 are b and a respectively. Therefore they would not consider supporting either b or a.

So the possible option of Member 2 and Member 3 supporting will be C.

Therefore both 2 and 3 will agree on C.

The predicted outcome of the game is C.

Answer:

Gross Profit Margin: 53 % and 54%

Inventory days outstanding: 249 days and 252 days.

Explanation:

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales * 100

Gross profit = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit :

Year 1 : 10,498,448 - 4,860,309 = 5,638,139

Year 2 : 8,277,782 - 3,804,031 = 4,473,751

GP margin :

Year 1 = 53%

Year 2 = 54%

Days of inventory : Average inventory / Cost of Sales * 365 days

Year 1 : 3,320,864 / 4,860,309 * 365 = 249 days

Year 2 : 2,632,898 / 3,804,031 *365 = 252 days

(Lessee-Lessor Entries, Sales-Type Lease; Guaranteed Residual Value) Phelps Company leases a building to Walsh, Inc. on January

Artist 52 [7]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Calculation of Minimum lease annual payments from (MLP)

Year MLP from lessor Present value Present valur of

point of view factor 8% cash flows

1 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)=0925$ $4,350.28

2 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 2=0.857$ $4,030.47

3 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 3=0.793$ $3,729.48

4 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 4=0.735$ $3,456.71

5 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 5=0.680$ $3,198.04

Total of Minimum

lease Payments $23,515 $ 18,764.97

Add

Unguaranteed

residual value(ugrv) 4000 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge 5}=0.680$ $2,720.00

Asset to be recorded

in the books of lessor

(sum of mlp +ugrv) $27,515 $ 21,484.97

Here

Gross Investment=$27515

Lease receivable recorded in in the books of lessor(Phelps)(Mimum lease payments + Unguaranteed residual )value = $21484 $21,484

Walsh (lessee) shoiuld be recorded the amount of present value of minimum lease payments + Guaranteed Residual value=$18764.97 as asset and liabilty

b) In the books of phelps (lessor)

2017.01.01 Lease Recievble from walsh ….Dr $21,484

to Asset $21,484

(Being Lease receivable recorded )

In the books of Walsh (lessee)

2017.01.01 Asset ac ……………Dr $18,764

to Lease Liabilty(Lessor) $18,764

(Being the asset and liabilty recorded )

2017.12.31 Depreciation ……Dr 3752

to Asset 3752

(Beint Depreciation recorded charged during the year recorded 18764/5 provided for 5 years)

Here annual payment started from the at the beginning of year i.e annual lease payments start from 01.01.2018.

c) If expected residual value of $4000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books. But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $4000 $18764+2720=21484

d) If expected residual value of $3000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $3000 $18764+$2040=$20804
