Answer:

Pappelbon Enterprises

All of the following statements accurately reflect this EXCEPT:

c. Pappelbon's management was overly focused on acquisitions.

Explanation:

Acquisitions require effective due diligence to be performed on the target.  Due diligence involves a full evaluation of the company to be acquired.  The evaluation should have uncovered the poor maintenance culture of the acquiree.  When it is established that many of the gas pumps would need replacement, the acquisition cost should have been reduced accordingly. These steps will also enable the management to not overpay for the acquired entity.

Two companies share a market, in which they currently make $5,000,000 each. Both need to determine whether they should advertise
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation.

Explanation:

Two Companies. We shall call them A and B.

If A and B decide not to advertise, they both get $5,000,000.

If A advertises and B does not then A captures $3 million from B at a cost of $2 million meaning their payoff would be,

= 5 million - 2 million + 3 million

= $6 million.

A will have $6 million and B will have $2 million as $3 million was captured from them. This scenario holds true if B is the one that advertises and A does not.

If both of them Advertise, they both reduce their gains by $2 million while capturing $3 million from each other so they'll essentially both have just $3 million if they both decide to advertise.

With the above scenarios, it is better for both companies to ADVERTISE if there is NO COLLUSION. This is because it ensures that they do not get the lowest payoff of $2 million if the other company decides to advertise and they do not.

However, if they DO COLLUDE. They must both decide that NONE of them SHOULD ADVERTISE and this would leave them with their original $5 million each which is a higher payoff than the $3 million they will both receive if they were both advertising.

VikaD [51]
The answer to the question above is "brand names cause consumers to be more sensitive to product differences" based on the result of Roberto's taste test. In the blind test, Roberto did not feel the unsavory flavor from the generic store-coke and he prefers that generic store-coke. This test proves that Roberto's taste is distracted by the brand.

Which of the following are miscellaneous taxes?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A) Hunting license fees

B) License plate fees

D) Marriage license fees

Explanation:

A miscellaneous tax is any tax levied other than incomes taxes or transfer taxes (e.g. excise taxes including sales and gasoline taxes, real estate transfer taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes). Transfer taxes are paid when the ownership of a property (including goods and services) is transferred from one person to another.

Sales taxes and gasoline taxes are both excise taxes, therefore they fall under the category of transfer taxes.

Inheritance taxes are called estate taxes, which also fall under the category of transfer taxes.
