Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Generally when a company makes a sale of its used assets like equipment, machinery, land etc, it computes the gain or loss on sale by reducing the current book value of the asset from the sale price. As we all know, Current book value of an asset is calculated by reducing the accumulated depreciation related to that asset from its acquisition cost.

GAAP requires the companies to carry the Asset accounts at Cost minus any sale/scrap and the wear and tear of the asset (depreciation) is accumulated in another separate account. The Asset Account is reported at its Book Value (Cost-Accm. Depreciation) in the Balance Sheet every year. Gain or loss on such assets is calculated by reducing the book value from its sale price

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Letter C is correct. <u>Behavioral needs and attitudes of consumers. </u>

Explanation:

Strategic decisions regarding product characteristics will be more affected by the behavioral needs and attitudes of the target market.

A product or service exists to satisfy the needs and desires of the consumer and for which he is willing to pay for the added benefits. Therefore, when implementing a product-oriented strategy, it is necessary for the organization to conduct research on consumer trends and the market in which it is inserted, so that the characteristics of the product are developed focusing on the functional and emotional benefits that the consumer want.

When a company plans to develop a product for a specific market, it is necessary for the company to understand five levels:

1. Central benefit:   Corresponds to the main utility of the product, related to the consumer's primary need.

2. Additional benefits : These are the other functions of the product, in addition to the central function.

3. Expected product:   These are the basic conditions expected of the product, such as quality and proper functioning.

4. Extended product:  Applied to the brand positioning, it corresponds to the level whose product exceeds the customer's expectations.

5. Consumer system:  It is the way the user will use the product, obtain, use, adapt and dispose of the product.
