Answer: B. Macmillan, because firms that face stiff competition at home tend to do better abroad

Explanation:

Following the information given, it can be deduced that Oceanic should invest in Macmillan, because firms that face stiff competition at home tend to do better abroad.

The fact that Macmillan, which is an air-conditioner manufacturer, faces intense pressure from its home market will have resulted in the company making quality sure conditioners in order to sustain the pressure and have an edge over its local competitors. Therefore, the company will do better abroad as a result of this.

The correct option is B.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

A. Accounts Payable 1,280 Cash 1,280

Explanation:

Jawbreaker Company paid $640 on account to a creditor. The transaction was erroneously recorded as a debit to Cash of $640 and a credit to Accounts Payable of $640.

The correcting entry is a debit to Accounts Payable of 1,280 and a credit to Cash of 1,280

The correct entry for payment of a creditor on account is to

Dr Account Payable........640

Cr Cash......................................640

However the opposite to the above entry was passed which will give rise to an error double the impact of the transaction value because:

1.The correct transaction to the value of $640 is missing

2. The opposite of the transaction to the value of $640 is existing.

Hence the impact of the error is double the amount which explains the reason why the correction involved twice the value of $640 which is $1,280

The deal your assistant signs calls for the sale of a minimum of260 chairs and up to 450 chairs. The price will be $91 per chair
sattari [20]

Answer:

a. Revenue = $23,660

b. Revenue = $40,837.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Minimum number of chairs to be sold under the deal = 260

Price at minimum number of chairs (260) = $91

Maximum number of chairs to be sold under the deal = 450

Discount offered for quantity above 260 = $0.25 per chair on the entire order

Price at maximum number (or just above 260 chairs) = $90.75 ($91 - $0.25)

Minimum revenue to be made under this deal = $23,660 (260 * $91)

Maximum revenue to be made under this deal = $40,837.50 (450 * $90.75)

Regardless of on whom a tax is levied, sellers face which of the following?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

A a decrease in the amount of money they receive

Explanation:

If the seller levies the tax on the customer, the tax will increase the price of a product and in turn decrease the demand for the product. Decreased demand, in turn, will reduce the total revenue.

But if the seller levies the tax on themself, it will not increase the product price but lower the seller revenue directly. Either way, the revenue of the seller will be decreased.

Mikey W. Smitty, an emerging rapper, is getting ready to cut his first CD, called "Western Rap." He is looking for a production
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

(i) 900 CDs

(ii) Greater than; $1,650

Explanation:

(1) Break-event point will be when the contribution margin from total sales is equal to fixed costs,

Contribution Margin = Selling price - variable cost

                                  = $(21.5 - 9.5)

                                  = $12

Contribution Margin *Number of CDs sold = $10,800

Break-even point for Studio A = 10,800 ÷ 12

                                                    = 900 CDs

(2) Studio A would be more profitable when the extra profit earned from per unit sale of CD exceeds the extra fixed cost given in Studio A.

Extra Contribution margin in Studio A = $(12-10)

                                                               = $2

Extra Fixed cost in Studio A = $(10,800 - 7,500)

                                               = $3,300

Studio A should be chosen if sales is greater than (3300/2) = $1,650.

Suppose that Xtel currently is selling at $66 per share. You buy 500 shares using $20,000 of your own money, borrowing the remai
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The percentage loss will be "-9.08%". The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Invested amount

= 20,000

Price of purchase

= $66

Total number of shares

= 500

The borrowed amount will be:

= (500\times 66)-20000

= 13,000

When the price increase to 69.63, the gain will be:

= 69.63-66

= 3.63 ($)

The total gain will be:

= 3.63\times 500

= 1815

Increase in percentage will be:

= \frac{1815}{20,000}\times 100

= 9.08%

Whereas if price stays quite well at $66, there is really no increase, so the percentage growth would be 0%.  

If the price declines toward a loss of 62,37 per share:

= 62.37-66

= -3.63

Now,

The total loss will be:

= -3.63\times 500

= -1815

The percentage loss will be:

= \frac{-1815}{15,000}

= -9.08 (%)
