Buying an established business means immediate cash flow. The business will have a financial history, which gives you an idea of what to expect and can make it easier to secure loans and attract investors. You will acquire existing customers, contacts, goodwill, suppliers, staff, plant, equipment and stock.

Buying a business is generally considered less risky than starting your own business, especially if you can buy a well-managed, profitable business for the right price. Consider these advantages:

The difficult start-up work has already been done. The business should have plans and procedures in place.

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gain recognized by Ben = $10,000

Explanation:

Given Data:

Adjusted basis of property=$40000

Cash received =  $15000

Additional stock received = $35000

Total received =  Cash received + Additional stock received

                        = $35000 + $15000

                        = $50000

 Gain recognized by Ben = Total received - Adjusted basis of property

                                          =$50,000  -$40,000

                                        = $10,000

Therefore, gain recognized by Ben  = $10,000

Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip use
Dima020 [189]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a) When both Hitachi and Toshiba engage in a limited campaign, they both earn $11 million.

If both engage in an extensive campaign they both earn $8 million.

However, if one firm engages in an extensive campaign and the other firm engages in a limited one, the firm engaging in a limited campaign earns $4 million while the one engaging in an extensive campaign earns $16 million.

I have attached a photo to show the payoff matrix as a table.

b) In the absence of a binding and enforceable agreement, that is to say that if both firms are not colluding, Hitachi's dominant strategy would be to engage in an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

A Firm's dominant strategy in absence of an agreement is that strategy that a firm can go on and make a maximum amount of profit regardless of what the other firm does.

Should Hitachi engage in an Extensive Campaign, they will make $16 million in quarterly profit if Toshiba engages in a Limited Campaign. Should Toshiba also decide to engage in an Extensive Campaign, then Hitachi makes a profit of $8 million. This is therefore their best alternative as opposed to embarking on a limited Campaign where there is a chance that they will make $4 million.

With the Extensive Campaign, Hitachi's Minimum Payoff is $8 million.

c) The game is the same for both players so the best option for Hitachi, is the best option for Toshiba as well. This means that Toshiba's dominant Strategy is an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN and their minimum payoff is $8 million as well.

1. Total amount of product costs for 10,000 units:

= 10,000 * $13.90

= $139,000

2. Period costs for 10,000 units:

= 10,000 * $6.15

= $61,500

3. Variable cost per unit of 8,000 produced and sold:

= $11.55

4. Variable cost per unit of 12,500 produced and sold:

= $11.55

5. Total variable costs for 8,000 units produced and sold:

= 8,000 * $11.55

= $92,400

6. Total variable costs for 12,500 units produced and sold:

= 12,500 * $11.55

= $144,375

7. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 8,000 units:

= $4.00

8. Average fixed manufacturing cost per unit produced for 12,500 units:

= $4.00

9. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 x $4.00

= $32,000

10. Total fixed manufacturing cost for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $4.00

= $50,000

11. Total amount of manufacturing overhead costs for 8,000 units:

= 8,000 * $5.60

= $44,800

per unit = $5.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

12. Total amount of manufacturing overhead for 12,500 units:

= 12,500 x $5.60

= $70,000

per unit = $5.60

Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.60

Fixed manufacturing overhead =     $4.00

Total per unit =                                  $5.60

13. Contribution margin per unit:

Selling price =                                          $21.40

Variable manufacturing cost per unit =  $9.90

Contribution margin per unit                  $11.50

14. Total amounts of direct and indirect manufacturing costs for 12,000 units:

Direct manufacturing costs = $9.90 x 12,000 =   $118,800

Indirect manufacturing costs = $4.00 x 12,000 = $48,000

15. Incremental manufacturing cost if Martinez increases production from 10,000 to 10,001:

= $9.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average Cost Per Unit

Direct materials                              $ 5.40

Direct labor                                     $ 2.90

Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60

Total Variable Costs per unit        $ 9.90

Fixed manufacturing overhead    $ 4.00

Total product cost per unit          $13.90

Period Costs:

Fixed selling expense                   $ 2.40

Fixed administrative expense       $ 2.10

Sales commissions                         $ 1.10

Variable administrative expense $ 0.55
