Answer:

E.g., Nokia did...

Customers made it clear to them that neither Windows phone nor Symbian will get anywhere near Android or iOS.

They resisted, ignored. They just flat out wanted the customers to adapt to their OS rather the other way around due to the absolute authority in the mobile phone market share.

As with any business which doesn't evolve as per the customer demands, the end was inevitable, and it was just a matter of time.

Answer:

The gain on the sale of investment is $145,325

Explanation:

In determining the gain on the sale of half of the stock,the first thing to do would be determine the cost of the stock sold such that the cost can then be compared with the proceeds from the sale of the investment so as to determine the gain therein.

The total investment should be valued in such a way that the share of profits should be added to the investment while the dividends received would be deducted.

Jan,1 2021                                                                   $890,000

Share of profit($367,000*30%)                                  $110,100

less dividends(since it already received in cash

($228,000*30%)                                                         ($68,400 )

Value of investment at 31 Dec,2021                         $931,700  

Share of profit(30%*$467000)*6/12                           $70,050

Dividends(30%$128,000)                                          ($38,400 )

Value of investment as at 1 july  2022                     $963,350  

Note that as at I july 2022 Marigold Corporation is only entitled to half year profits on the investment as well as half year dividends

Cost of half of investment=$963,350*1/2=$ 481,675.00  

Gain= proceeds-cost=$627,000- 481,675 =$145,325

<u>Solution</u>

Sales revenue($100,000 + $5,000)             $90,000      $105,000

Sales returns and allowances                        ($6,000)         ($5,000)

Net sales                                                         $84,000   $100,000

Cost of goods sold($100,000 - $40,000)          ($58,000) ($60,000)

Gross profit($84,000 - $58,000)                         $26,000            $40,000

Operating expenses($40,000 - $17,000)         ($14,380)           ($23,000)

Net income($26,000 - $14,380)                          $11,620          $17,000

  • Net Income divide by Net Sales = Profit Margin Ratio
  • Gross Profit divide by Net Sales = Gross Profit Rate

<u>Yoste Company : </u>

Profit Margin Ratio = $11,620 divide by $84,000 = 13.83%

Gross Profit Rate = $26,000 divide by $84,000 = 30.95%

<u>Noone Company:</u>

Profit Margin Ratio = $17,000 divide by $100,000 = 17%

Gross Profit Rate = $40,000 divide by $100,000 = 40%
