Answer:

Debit : All assets bought at their Fair Value Amounts

Debit : Goodwill (<em>if Payment is greater than Net Assets acquired</em>)

Credit : All liabilities assumed at their Fair Value Amounts

Credit : Method of payment for example cash

Credit : Gain on acquisition (<em>if Net Assets acquired are greater than Payment</em>)

Explanation:

<em>Hi, your question is incomplete, i tried to look for the full question online but i could not find it.</em>

However, below is an explanation to solving the problem.

An acquisition of investee Assets and Liabilities is not a business combination transaction that requires preparation of consolidated financial statements.

A business combination is a transaction or event in which an ACQUIRER obtains CONTROL of one or more Businesses. So, if it is not a business, it is a mere ASSET ACQUISITION transaction.

Thus said, in our question investor purchases the assets and assumes the liabilities of the investee company, this is an Asset Acquisition transaction and not a Business Combination transaction.

The excess of consideration paid over the net assets acquired at fair value is called goodwill and must be recognized. If not the case the excess of net assets acquired over purchase price (gain on acquisition) must be recognized.

<u>Below are the accounting entries to record an Asset Acquisition transaction.</u>

Debit : All assets bought at their Fair Value Amounts

Debit : Goodwill (<em>if Payment is greater than Net Assets acquired</em>)

Credit : All liabilities assumed at their Fair Value Amounts

Credit : Method of payment for example cash

Credit : Gain on acquisition (<em>if Net Assets acquired are greater than Payment</em>)

1.If Enviromax wants to maximize profit, what price would they charge?
Lunna [17]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. However, kindly find below the complete version of the question:

Question

Jack and Diane own Enviromax, a monopolistically competitive firm that recycles paper products. (1.)If Enviromax wants to maximize profit, what price would they charge?  (2).What is their profit per unit if they are operating at the profit maximizing output?

Answer / Explanation

(1) First before we continue to answer this question, let us define what a monopoly is: This is a kind of market situation where the sole production or manufacturing of a product have been given to a single entity.

The graph attached below will give us a proper understanding and illustration of the answer.

Where:  MR in the graph is defined as the additional revenue obtained when producers produce 1 more unit of good and the AR refers to the total revenue divided by the amount of output produced which is essentially  the price of one unit of good.

MC refers to the additional cost incurred by producers when they produce 1 more unit of good  and is upwards sloping due to increasing opportunity costs of production.  

Noting that since the firm is a monopolistic type, the MR curve is lower than the  AR curve because if the firm wants to sell an additional unit of output it will have to lower the  successive price.  This is unlike the case of a firm operating in a PC where it takes the price as given and hence has no  ability to set prices.  it should also be noted that profit maximizing for all firms (whether PC or non-PC) occurs at MC=MR. This is because if MC>MR  this means the additional cost of producing this unit of good > additional revenue obtained from selling  this unit of good and is hence not profit maximizing. If MC<MR, this implies that the firm should not stop  at producing this unit of good because it will be forgoing the additional net revenue (profit) should it do  so. Hence all firms will produce at the point where MC=MR.

(2) Now referring back to the graph, the profit-maximising point where MC intersects MR hence occurs at  output Q. The firm will hence produce Q and hence price at P according to the AR (DD) curve.

In the graph below, since AR > AC at the profit maximizing level, this implies that per unit revenue > per unit costs and the firm makes a supernormal profit (defined as what excess profit above what is  needed to keep firms in production which is normal profit) of the shaded area.  If the firm was operating in a perfectly competitive market however, then the profit maximizing point  would occur at AR =MC (since AR=MR in a PC market) and the firm would be producing at Qpc and Ppc

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2) the taxpayer shows negligence or disregard of the rules or regulations, causing an underpayment.

Explanation:

             When any taxpayer shows some negligence or if they disregard the rules and the regulations, causing an underpayment, then it leads to a penalty for the disregard or the negligence.

              Also, when a taxpayer intentionally understates his or her tax by a larger of $5000 or a 10% of his / her correct tax, then it is an accuracy related penalty.

              And, also the information related penalties which are levied for failure of  taxpayer to pay the amount of tax owed by  due date and also failure to filing the return by the due date.

Thus option (2) is correct.

taurus [48]

Answer:

Individual branding

Explanation:

Procter & gamble is well known for its use of individual branding because every product in p&g's portfolio has a different brand name.

Individual branding can be defined as a market strategy in which every products sold by a firm has its own unique brand name. Individual branding can also be called "multibranding", "individual product branding", and "flanker brand".

Firms utilizes individual branding strategy in order to target different market segment. Individual branding helps to protect the other products produced by a company if one of them fails.
