Calculation for What total amount of amortization expense should have been recorded on the intangible asset by December 31, 2020
Using this formula
Total Amortization expense=Cost/useful life*Number of months
Let plug in the formula
Total Amortization expense=$1,162,500/180*32
Total Amortization expense=$206,667
Note that 15 years*12months will give us 180 months which is the useful life while May 1, 2018 - December 31, 2020) will give us 32 months
Therefore the total amount of amortization expense should have been recorded on the intangible asset by December 31, 2020 will be $206,667
Answer: the bank promises to pay on the importer’s behalf

Answer:
The revenue that the investment in the company would increase by $100,000.
Explanation:
Though the International Accounting Standard IAS 2 Inventories says that the inventory must be recorded at lower of:
- Cost
- Net Realizable Value (Fair Value less Cost to Sell)
This means though the Net realizable value increases but the cost remains the lower. This means their must not be any changes made to inventory account.
The profit earned from the increase in inventory value will be reflected in the income which will increase the net worth of the investment. So the increase in investment revenue would be by $100,000.
Back in 2015, McDonald’s was struggling. In Europe, sales were down 1.4% across the previous 6 years; 3.3% down in the US and almost 10% down across Africa and the Middle East. There were a myriad of challenges to overcome. Rising expectations of customer experience, new standards of convenience, weak in-store technology, a sprawling menu, a PR-bruised brand and questionable ingredients to name but a few.
McDonald’s are the original fast-food innovators; creating a level of standardisation that is quite frankly, remarkable. Buy a Big Mac in Beijing and it’ll taste the same as in Stratford-Upon Avon.
So when you’ve optimised product delivery, supply chain and flavour experience to such an incredible degree — how do you increase bottom line growth? It’s not going to come from making the Big Mac cheaper to produce — you’ve already turned those stones over (multiple times).
The answer of course, is to drive purchase frequency and increase margins through new products.
Numerous studies have shown that no matter what options are available, people tend to stick with the default options and choices they’ve made habitually. This is even more true when someone faces a broad selection of choices. We try to mitigate the risk of buyers remorse by sticking with the choices we know are ‘safe’.
McDonald’s has a uniquely pervasive presence in modern life with many of us having developed a pattern of ordering behaviour over the course of our lives (from Happy Meals to hangover cures). This creates a unique, and less cited, challenge for McDonald’s’ reinvention: how do you break people out of the default buying behaviours they’ve developed over decades?
In its simplest sense, the new format is designed to improve customer experience, which will in turn drive frequency and a shift in buying behaviour (for some) towards higher margin items. The most important shift in buying patterns is to drive reappraisal of the Signature range to make sure they maximise potential spend from those customers who can afford, and want, a more premium experience.
