I think the answer would be false. Marketing does not primarily consists of only advertising a product or service. It involves with the buying and selling of a product or a service. It would include advertising, selling of the products and the delivery of these products to the consumers. It should be able to coordinate the 4P's in marketing namely the product, the price, the place and the promotional strategy. So, it is not mainly advertising a product or a service.
Answer:
Implicit costs are opportunity costs. They are the cost of the next best alternative that one could have taken from the one they took.
Explicit costs are normal accounting costs which represent the expenses involved in running a business.
a. The wages and utility bills that Charles pays. EXPLICIT COSTS.
These are normal accounting expenses so they are explicit costs.
b. The wholesale cost for the guitars that Charles pays the manufacturer. EXPLICIT COSTS.
Another cost of doing business so this is explicit as well.
c. The rental income Charles could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom. IMPLICIT COST.
By not renting out his showroom and using it instead, he is losing the rental income he could be making so this is an implicit cost.
d. The salary Charles could earn if he worked as a financial advisor. IMPLICIT COST.
Another income he could be making if he wasn't selling guitars. This make it an implicit cost.
Answer:
$20 Million
Explanation:
- Reported Income before taxes for 2018= $470 Million
- Tax Depreciation excess over Financially Reported Depreciation= $ 50 Million
- Income Tax rate for 2018= 35%
- Enacted Rate for Years after 2018= 40%
Calculation
- The Deferred Tax Liability= Excess of Tax Depreciation over Financially Reported Depreciation × Enacted Tax Rate
Deferred Tax Liability
This represents the tax due for a particular period but yet to be paid. A deferred tax liability is the indication that an organisation will have to pay mor tax in the future as a result of a current transaction.
In the situation of Brown and Lowery, the Deferred tax is an applied tax rate to the excess of tax depreciation over financial reporting depreciation.
Based on International Accounting Standard (IAS) 12, Deferred tax liability should be calculated using the Enacted rate for years after the current period.
Also, $50,000,000 is the excess of tax depreciationi over depreciation used for financial reporting, however, since the firm has a $20, 000,000 which is a non-tax deductible expense then it will not affect our Deferred Tax Liability Calculation.
Answer:
Fixed assets and equipment
Explanation:
Depreciation is the accountant's estimate of the cost of fixed assets and equipment used in the production process matched with the benefits produced from owning it.
It is the decrease in the value of assets and the method used to reallocate the cost of asset over its useful life span.
Assets can be categorized as :
1. Current
2. Fixed
3. Tangible
4. Intangible assets.
In accounting, there are several standard methods of computing depreciation expense:
1. Fixed percentage
2. Straight line
3. Declining balance methods.
PHASE 1: Accumulation
This period begins when you enter the workforce and begin setting aside funds for later in your life, and ends when you actually retire. If your employer offers 401(k), 403(b), or 457(b) plans, have you signed up and are you contributing the maximum allowed? Did you know that the "new normal" requires retirement savings rates for most Americans to exceed 10 percent? If self-employed, are you shortchanging yourself on Social Security in order to reap tax deductions?
PHASE 2: Pre-Retirement
This phase occurs during the final years of the accumulation phase and should begin when you reach 50 years old or are 15 years away from retiring, whichever happens first. Now is the time to get your plan in place, making sure your finances are lined up correctly for retirement day so nothing will be left to chance. If you work for a company with a benefits specialist, arrange an appointment to become informed about the various ways you can convert your employer retirement savings into a stream of income or an IRA. Consider using a tool known as "scenario planning." Start learning about Social Security and your options for beginning to receive retirement benefits. Familiarize yourself with the basics of Medicare.
PHASE 3: Early-Retirement
This phase lasts from the day you retire until you are 70 years old. (For those who do not plan to retire until well into their 70s, some tasks in this phase may occur later.) A key purpose of this phase is to create a clear communication channel with your family so information can be shared, questions asked and answered, and decisions made in a calm, supportive way. It's also the time to assess how well your finances are working now that you are using your retirement savings. Fine-tune your income and expense projections, taking into consideration how you will meet minimum distribution requirements from your tax-deferred accounts.
PHASE 4: Mid-Retirement
This phase begins at age 70 and lasts as long as you are able-bodied and high-functioning. Despite your good health, begin looking at what steps you would like your family to take should your condition decline significantly. In most cases your ability to make all your own decisions, care for yourself, engage with the world on your terms, and manage your affairs does not vanish in a split second. It takes courage to dive into a conversation about giving up and transferring control.
PHASE 5: Late-Retirement
This phase begins when your health has taken a turn for the worse and there is little likelihood of it being fully restored. You require significant help to function day to day. The hope is that by this point all the planning done in prior years makes this transition as manageable and life-affirming as possible.
