Evaluate Microsoft’s product and marketing evolution over the years. What has the company done well, and where did it falter?

OverLord2011 [107]

Explanation:

Microsoft is a giant technology company with worldwide influence.

Its success and reputation have ensured the company the position of the most valuable company in the world by market capital.

The popularization of the Windows Operating System, worldwide, was the product that consolidated the company as a giant in the business world. Technological companies, should focus on innovation, as each day more advances in technology appear to correct possible system errors, make the user's performance and use better and make production costs cheaper. With regard to the Operating System for computers, Microsoft has always evolved in launching new, more evolved versions, and making the previous ones obsolete for use, but one of the company's failures was to have lost the timing to develop an OS aimed at the use in cell phones, since that the company tried to enter this market, but was unsuccessful, and was defeated by its biggest competitors: Google and Apple.

A company has established that the relationship between the sales price for one of its products and the quantity sold per month

Vilka [71]

Answer:

max profit at MR = MC is 1,562.5 dollars

Explanation:

we need to solve for the point at which MR = MC

First we calculate marginal revenue, the revenue generate from an additional units which, is the slope of the revenue function

p = 70 - 0.1Q

total revenue = (70 - 0.1Q)Q = -0.1Q^2 + 70Q

dR/dq= -0.2q + 70

Then we do the same for marginal cost, the cost to produce another unit:

total cost: 1,500 + 35 Q

dC/dq = 35

Now we equalize and solve:

-0.2q + 70 = 35

70 - 35=0.2q

35/0.2 = q = 175

p = 70 - 0.1 (175) = 70 - 17.5 = 52.5

52.5Q - 1,500 - 35Q = profit

52.5 x 175 - 1500 - 35 x 175 = profit

profit = 1562.5

if we calcualte for one up or down:

Q = 174 then profit = 1562.4

Q = 176 then profit = 1562.4

This profit is lower than our maximize point, so we agree this is the max point.

Duluth Ranch, Inc. purchased a machine on January 1, 2018. The cost of the machine was $35,000. Its estimated residual value was

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Duluth Ranch, Inc.

a. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the straight-line method:

2018: $24,000/5 = $4,800

2019: $24,000/5 = $4,800

b. Depreciation Expense for 2018 and 2019, using the units-of-production method:

2018 = 1,300 x $1.20 = $1,560

2019 = 1,750 x $1.20 = $2,100

c. Depreciation Expense for 2018 through 2022, using the double-declining balance method:

Depreciation Rate = 100%/5 x 2 = 40%

Beginning Bal. Depreciation Declining balance

2018: $35,000 $14,000 ($35,000 x 40%) $21,000 ($35,000 - 14,000)

2019: $21,000 $8,400 ($21,000 x 40%) $12,600 ($21,000 - $8,400)

2020: $12,600 $1,600 ($12,600 x 40%)* $11,000 ($12,600 - $1,600)

2021: $11,000 $0

2022: $11,000 $0

*NB: The calculated depreciation expense for 2020 is $5,040. But, the balance after depreciation must not be below the residual value. So, only the difference is expensed.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of machine = $35,000

Residual value = 11,000

Depreciable amount $24,000

Useful life = 5 years

Straight-line depreciation per year = $24,000/5 = $4,800

Expected production unit = 20,000

Depreciation rate per unit = $24,000/20,000 = $1.20

b) The straight-line method of depreciation simply divides the depreciable amount ($24,000) by the useful life of 5 years to determine a straight-line depreciation expense of $4,800 per year.

c) The unit-of-production method calculates the depreciation rate per unit (Depreciable amount divided by total expected production units) and applies this rate, $1.20, to the total units produced in each period to determine the depreciation expense.

d) The double-declining balance method divides 100% by the useful life of the asset and then multiplies this 2, to obtain the depreciation rate. This rate is then applied to the cost and declining balance each year. The double-declining balance method, initially does not take into cognizance the residual value of the asset. It only considers this salvage value towards the end when it adjusts the depreciation charge for the last year so that the declined balance will equal to the residual value.

On Monday, Mick puts an offer in the mail to Sheri to sell his guitar for $50. Monday night when jamming with his buddies, he de

leva [86]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Revocation is a term that is used to describe the withdrawal of an offer by the person who is making the offer, in other words, the offeror.

A revocation will take effect when it is known to the person that the offer was made to, in other words, the offeree.

In the scenario presented above, Mick's revocation will not take effect on Tuesday if Sheri did not receive the revocation that same day. This means that the revocation will only take effect when Sheri knows of it.
