A company has developed a new smart clock. If the clock is successful, the present value of the payoff (at the time the product

is brought to market) is $17 million. If the clock fails, the present value of the payoff is $5 million. If the clock goes directly to market, there is a 50 percent chance of success. Alternatively, the company can delay the launch by one year and spend $900,000 to test-market the clock. Test-marketing would allow the company to improve the clock and increase the probability of success to 75%. The appropriate discount rate is 10%. Should the company conduct test-marketing?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": A decrease in a deferred tax asset.

Explanation:

A Deferred Tax Asset is an asset on a balance sheet of a business that can be used to lower taxable income. It is the opposite of deferred tax liability that reflects something that will increase income taxes. Both are listed under current assets on the Balance Sheet.

The deferred tax asset will be generated when recorded income taxes owed are higher than the income taxes paid to the Government.

Thus, <em>a decrease in deferred tax is recorded when a company has collected revenue in advance for a good not delivered or a service not rendered yet.</em>

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": a market in which a good can be bought and sold at the same price.

Explanation:

Competitive markets are those with large numbers of producers fighting against each other to fulfill consumers' needs. In these markets, the producers and consumers cannot determine the price of the goods or services being traded. Both <em>participants are price-takers</em> which imply they will come to a point in which the price level offered by producers and desired by consumers will be equal.
