The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board:____.

Business
1 answer:
viva [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: C. must report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a matter of federal law.

Explanation:

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) is a non-profit organization that was established after the disastrous accounting scandals of the early 2000s and late 1990s involving companies like WorldCom and Enron.

The purpose of the organization is to ensure that the audits of a public company are done in such a way that audit risk is reduced and the audit report is as accurate as possible. Even though they are a non-profit, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act mandates that they report to the SEC which has oversight over them.

______________ is often challenged as being an inefficient allocation of resources because it promotes monopoly power for some f
DanielleElmas [232]

<u>Advertising</u> is often challenged as being an inefficient allocation of resources because it promotes monopoly power for some firms and these expenditures by multiple firms are often self-canceling rather than productive.

<h3><u>What exactly is advertising?</u></h3>

Despite people's ignorance, advertising is always present. Every media available in today's world is used by advertising to spread its message. It achieves this through several <u>mediums, including television, print </u><u>(newspapers, magazines, journals, etc.)</u><u>, radio, press, internet, direct marketing, billboards, mailers, competitions, sponsorships, posters, outfits, events, colors, sounds, images, and even people </u><u>(endorsements).</u>

The advertising sector is made up of businesses that advertise, agencies that produce the ads, media that run them, and a large number of individuals who take the ads all the way to the consumer or recipient, including copy editors, visualizers, brand managers, researchers, creative minds, and designers.

<h3><u /></h3><h3><u>How does monopolistic power work?</u></h3>

Market power and monopoly power both relate to a company's capacity to set a price above its marginal cost. Monopoly power often occurs in markets with low demand elasticity and high entry barriers.

<u>Monopoly Power Sources:</u>

The elasticity of the product's demand, the presence of economies of scale, the ownership of a vital resource, the existence of legislative restrictions, etc. are all significant determinants or sources of monopoly power.

rewona [7]

Answer:

B. $600

Explanation:

The average cost method assigns a cost to inventory items based on the total cost of goods purchased (or produced) in a period divided by the total number of items purchased (or produced). Weighted Average Unit Cost is calculated by following formula:

Weighted Average Unit Cost = Total Cost of Inventory /Total Units in Inventory

Total value purchased in July = $1,400+$220 = $1,620

Weighted Average Unit Cost = ($380+$1,620)/100 = $20

Ending inventory = 30 x $20 = $600

Noted: The company did not have date of selling merchandise. In the situation, assuming that the company uses periodic inventory system.

1.Based on the above article, if you were an entrepreneur, which sector would fit you the most? Justify your answer by conductin
Harrizon [31]

<u>Answer</u>:

Incomplete question. However, I inferred you want to know more about the Five forces Model created by Michael E. Porter and about the conducting entrepreneurial feasibility study.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Note that the main focus of Poter's model is to help someone analysing a market know how much competition will exist in and the chances of realizing a profit. The five forces to be analyzed are:

  1. The threat of substitutes,
  2. the threat of new entrants,
  3. competitive rivalry
  4. bargaining power of buyers and
  5. bargaining power of customers.

Thus, conducting an entrepreneurial feasibility study would involve a careful cross-examination of the factors mentioned above.
