Answer:
It views competition within an industry broadly to include forces such as buyers, suppliers, and the threat of substitutes.
Explanation:
The five forces model was developed by Harvard Professor Michael Porter, and it is a broad model of firm competition that takes into account 5 forces: buyer power, supplier power, threat of new entry, threat of substitutes, and competitive rivalry.
The power of suppliers and buyers lies mainly in how many suppliers and buyers exist in the market, because the more participants in a market, the less likely a firm will have market power.
The threat of substitutes is simply the quantity of substitute goods that are present in the market.
GW Corp. has two shareholders; Devana owns 40 shares and another corporation, Alpine, Inc., owns another 60 shares. Devana is also a 40% shareholder in Alpine, Inc. Under the attribution rules for the change in stock ownership tests in a redemption, how many shares of GW Corp. does Devana own
Answer:
40%
Explanation:
Devana owns 40% of GW Corp. despite having another 40% shares in Alpine Inc. This is as a result of Devana not having up to 50% shares in Alpine Inc.
Without up to 50% shares in Alpine Inc, the shares of Alpine Inc. in GW Corp. cannot be attributed to Devana.
This means that for Devana to own Alpine Inc shares in GW Corp. it has to acquire 10% more in addition to the 40% it already has.

An analysis of Tremble's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances are not expected to be collected. The balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts after adjustment will be:
Answer:
$15,000.
Explanation:
So, in this particular question we are given the following parameters or data or information which is going aid us in solving the problem;
=> "At December 31, Tremble Music had account balances in Accounts Receivable of $300,000 "
=>" At December 31, Tremble Music had account balances in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts of $1,000 (credit) before any adjustments"
=> "An analysis of Tremble's December 31 accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances are not expected to be collected"
So, looking at the third point from the question above, we see that "accounts receivable suggests that 5% of the account balances", thus, we have that;
$300,000, which is the account receivable multiply by 5%. That is;
$300,000 × 5/100 = $15,000.

A seller's current real estate tax is $1,175 per year including the homeowner's exemption. The condo is sold to a buyer for $197,500. Assuming no local assessments are added to the tax bill, what will be the buyer's real property tax bill including the homeowner's exemption
Answer:
Home owner's exemption is not the same as homestead exemption. Depending on the state that you live, homestead can be up to $50,000 of the home's value, but homeowner's exemption is generally up to $7,000 only. This means that the buyer's basis will lower by $197,500 - $7,000 = $190,500.
Assuming that the real estate tax rate is 1%, then the new tax bill (including homeowner's exemption) would be $190,500 x 1% = $1,905.

A. Protectionism
B. Restrictions on trans-border data flow
C. Protection of intellectual property
D. FDA regulations on imported products
E. Cultural barriers and adaptation
Help ASAP!!!!!
Answer:
D. FDA regulations on imported products
Explanation:
The barriers to entering global markets are; protectionism, restrictions on trans-border data flow, protection of intellectual property and cultural barriers and languages. Most counties that uses the aforementioned does so basically to protect their home industries from foreign competition and also to safeguard the interest and wellbeing of its citizenry. However, no country can stand on its own as countries have comparative advantages over each other in production of certain products.
With regards to the above, FDA(food and drug adminstration) regulations on imported product is not a barrier to entering global market. FDA are body that makes regulations that all imported products must meet the same standard as the local goods hence must be safe to eat, pure, wholesome and manufactured under clean conditions. It also state that drugs, cosmetics must be produced from approved materials hence must meet standards already established by the board.

Conor broke his wrist while playing basketball in the backyard. He ended up in the hospital. After an X-ray, MRI, doctor visit and a cast, he receives a hospital bill for $10,000. According to his health insurance policy, he has $2,000 deductible (which he did not pay this year at all) and a 20% co-pay. How much Conor will have to pay for the hospital?
Answer:
$6,000
Explanation:
A deductible is the amount Conor has to pay before his medical bills and prescriptions start getting coverage from his insurance.
Step 1: 10,000 - 2,000 = 8,000
A co-pay is a fixed amount the insured has to pay for certain medical services.
Step 2: 20% of 8,000 or 0.20 times 8,000 = 1,600
Step 3: add $2,000 (the deductible you have to pay) and $1,600 (the co-pay)
Total amount that Conor will have to pay for the hospital: $3,600

Your accountant tells you that if you can continue to earn the current interest rate on your balance of $750 for the next three years, you will have $944.78 in your account. If your accountant is correct, then what is the current interest rate
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
current balance = $750
Period = 3years
Final amount at the end of the third year = $944.78
Rate =?
Using the compound interest formula :
A = P( 1 + r/n)^nt
Where : A= final amount plus interest
P = principal amount
r = interest rate
t = period
n = number of compounding periods per year = 1
A = P( 1 + r)^t
944.78 = 750(1 + r)^3
Divide both side by 750
944.78/750 = (1+r)^3
1.2597 = (1+r)^3
Take the cube root of both sides
1.07999 = 1+r
r = 1.07999 - 1
r = 0.07999
r = (0.07999) * 100%
r = 7.999% = 8%
Q 8.17: The financial statements of the Larson Company report net sales of $1,000,000 and accounts receivable of $80,000 and $60,000 at the beginning of the year and end of year, respectively. What is the average collection period for accounts receivable in days
Answer:
25.55 days
Explanation:
first we must calculate the accounts receivable turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable
net sales = $1,000,000
average accounts receivable ($80,000 + $60,000) / 2 = $70,000
accounts receivable turnover ratio = $1,000,000 / $70,000 = 14.286
average collection period = 365 days / accounts receivable turnover ratio = 365 / 14.286 = 25.55 days
Which type of inflation occurs when prices are high, then drop due to lower demand, and then are restored to a previous high level? a) hyperinflation b) disinflation c) inflation d) reflation
Answer:
Reflation
Explanation:
The type of inflation which occurs when prices are high, then drop due to lower demand, and then are restored to a previous high level is known to be as reflation Option(d) is correct generally and actually.
What does Reflation means?Reflation is utilized to portray an arrival of costs to a past pace of expansion.
One use portrays a demonstration of invigorating the economy by expanding the cash supply or by diminishing expenses, looking to bring the economy explicitly the cost level back up to the drawn out pattern.
In this point of view, reflation, is diverged from expansion (barely talking) over the some drawn out pattern line, while reflation is a recuperation of the cost level when it has fallen beneath the pattern line.
For instance, on the off chance that expansion had been running at a 3% rate, yet for one year it tumbles to 0%, the next year would require 6% expansion (really 6.09% because of building) to get back up to the drawn out pattern. This higher than typical expansion is viewed as reflation, since it is a re-visitation of pattern, not surpassing the drawn out pattern.
This qualification is predicated on a hypothesis that financial development, where there is long haul development in the economy and cost level, is both feasible and alluring. Similarly as disinflation is viewed as an adequate remedy to high expansion, reflation is viewed as a cure to flattening.
Therefore Option(d) is correct.

Strong Look Corporation provided the following information to its accountants. The company had current assets of $145,332, net fixed assets of $356,190, and other assets of $4,176. The firm has long-term debt of $76,445, common stock of $200,000, and retained earnings of $134,461. What amount of current liabilities does this firm have?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given the following :
current assets = $145,332
Net fixed assets = $356,190
Other assets = $4,176
Long-term debt = $76,445
Common stock = $200,000
Retained earnings = $134,461
Current liabilities = ( Total assets - Long-term debt - Total stockholders' equity)
Total assets = (current + net + other) assets
Total assets = $(145,332 + 356,190 + 4, 176) = $505,698
Total Stockholder's equity = ( common stocks + retained earning)
Total stockholders' equity = $200,000 + $134,461 = $334,461
Current liabilities = ( Total assets - Long-term debt - Total stockholders' equity)
Current Liabilities :
($505,698 - $76,445 - $334,461) = $94,792
The balance in the Finished Goods inventory account at the beginning of the month was $79,000 and at the end of the month was $72,000. The cost of goods manufactured for the month was $361,600. The actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $118,400 and the manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs was $112,000. The adjusted cost of goods sold that would appear on the income statement for July is
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold $ 375,000
Explanation:
Under-absorbed overhead = Actual overhead - Absorbed overhead
= 118,400- 112,000 = 6,400
Under-absorbed overhead= 6,400
Data:
Opening inventory 79,000
cost of goods sold 361,600
under absorbed overhead 6,400
closing inventory 72,000
The income statement would as follows:
$
Opening inventory 79,000
Add cost of goods sold 361,600
Add under absorbed overhead 6,400
less closing inventory (72,000)
Adjusted cost of goods 375,000
Note the under absorbed overhead implies that the cost of manufactured reported before the adjustment for the under-absorbed overhead is under cost and charged. To correct this the under absorbed overheard figure is added back.

The main difference between the classical model of the price level and the modern understanding of the relationship between the money supply, the price level, and real GDP is that according to classical economists, _____, while today's economists _____
Answer:
D. classical economists the adjustment of prices to changes in the money supply is instantaneous, while economists today argue that this adjustment process takes some time.
Explanation:
The difference between the classical and modern understanding of the price level is highlighted in the Classical and Keynesian theories. The Classical model assumes that the economy moves towards full employment and is self-adjusting. It also stipulates that prices and wages are flexible based on the demands at the present time. So it simply explains changes in the short-run which automatically resolve themselves without requiring and external help from the government or any other source.
The Keynesian model was developed after the Great Depression when there was massive unemployment. It holds that the economic output reflected in the real GDP, as well as price level, can remain below its optimum potential for a long period of time, thus requiring external factors to stabilize them. Therefore, the adjustment process takes some time to be fully resolved.
At December 31 of a recent year, the following information (in thousands) was available for sunglasses manufacturer Oakley, Inc.: ending inventory $155,377; beginning inventory $119,035; cost of goods sold $349,114; and sales revenue $761,865
Calculate the inventory turnover ratio for Oakley, Inc. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5.12.)
Inventory turnover ratio times
Answer:
143.444 days
Explanation:
For the computation of inventory turnover ratio first we need to find out the average inventory and inventory turnover which is shown below:-
Average inventory
= (Ending inventory + Beginning inventory) ÷ 2
= ($155,377 + $119,035) ÷ 2
= $137,206
Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $349,114 ÷ $137,206
= 2.5444 times
Days in Inventory = 365 ÷ Inventory Turnover
= 365 ÷ 2.5444
= 143.444 days

Jenkins Inc., prepared its financial statement for 2008 based on the information given here. The company had cash worth $1,234, inventory worth $13,480, and accounts receivables of $7,789. The company's net fixed assets are $42,331, and other assets are $1,822. It had accounts payables of $9,558, notes payables of $2,756, common stock of $22,000, and retained earnings of $14,008. How much long-term debt does the firm have?
Answer:
$18,334
Explanation:
Given the following :
Cash worth = $1,234
Inventory worth = $13,480
Accounts receivable worth = $7,789
Net fixed asset = $42,331
Other assets = $1,822
Accounts payables = $9,558
Notes payables = $2,756
common stock = $22,000
Retained earnings = $14,008
Long term debt :
Total asset - current liability - stockholders equity
Total asset =current asset + net fixed asset + other asset
Current asset = cash worth + inventory worth + accounts receivables
Current asset = $(1234 + 13480 + 7789) = $22503
Total asset = $(22503 + 42331 + 1822) = $66656
Current liabilities = Accounts payables + notes payables
Current liabilities = $(9558 + 2756) = $12314
Stockholders equity = $(22,000 + 14,008) = $36,008
Long term debt :
Total asset - current liability - stockholders equity
$(66656 - 12314 - 36008) = $18,334
