What are the three ways through which a company tries to sell its products?
Businesses generally sell through a product's features, benefits, or
Reset
Next
Answer:
Values
Explanation:
Businesses generally sell through a product's features, benefits, or values
Value selling refers to the process of convincing buyers that your products will add value to their lives. It involves giving reasons and reinforcing why your products are the most valuable in the market.
Value selling focuses on the value derived from consuming a product but not how much it costs. In value selling, the salesperson highlights the impact a product creates rather than its purchase costs.
Billed Mercy Co. $2,400 for services performed.
how to journalize this?
When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:
The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.
The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.
The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.
For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:
plz follow me
one thanks give me motivation for answering
plz mark me brainliest
Answer:
All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.
Explanation:
1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT
2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
3. Purchased a new truck for $8,500 cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Truck and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
4. Purchased $500 in supplies on account. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable. To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.
5. Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased. Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash. To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.
6. Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800. When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset. We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
7. Performed work for customers and received $50,000 cash. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset cash and increase the revenue Service Revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
8. Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000. We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue. To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.
9. Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed. We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
10 Paid office salaries $900. We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.
11. Paid utility bill $1,200. We analyzed this transaction to increase utilities expense and decrease cash since we paid cash. To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

What are the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter B apply.) A. Productivity is increased by specialization. B. Each good has only one price. C. There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners. D. There is a lack of standardization. E. There is difficulty in accumulating wealth. OF. Transactions costs are almost always high.
Answer:
C)There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
D)There is a lack of standardization.
E)There is difficulty in accumulating wealth.
Explanation:
barter in a trade can be regarded as a system of exchange that involves exchange of goods and services for another without using money as a medium of exchange. Barter is been considered as 'inefficient' as a result of the needs for 'double coincidence of wants'. For instance in a situation whereby someone is buying particular amount of another's goods, but the payment he/she has is for just one indivisible unit of another good, and the worth is higher than what he/she want to obtain, in this case there won't be barter transaction.
It should be noted that the costs and sources of inefficiency in a barter are;
✓There is increased time and effort spent looking for trading partners.
✓There is a lack of standardization.
✓There is difficulty in accumulating

Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result, they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?
Answer:
It will decrease prior service cost and, as prior service cost is amortized, will decrease pension expense.
Explanation:
In the given if there is any change in the projected benefit obligation so the pension expense would impact in the present and future period by reducing the service cost that incurred before also the service cost that incurred before would be amortized that ultimately reduce the pension expense
Therefore the first option is correct
Kevin's boat was wrecked by hurricane Harvey (a federally declared natural disaster). Damage to the boat was estimated at $30,000. The original cost was $25,000. The boat was partially insured, and Kevin received an insurance reimbursement of $15,000. Kevin's adjusted gross income is $50,000, and he had no other losses during the year. What amount can Keith deduct on his tax return for this year
Answer:
A) $4,900
Explanation:
Options are: "A) $4,900 B) $5,000 C) $9,900 D) $14,900"
Particulars Amount
Original cost $25,000
Damage $30,000
Lower of the two is $25,000
Less: Insurance reimbursement $15,000

Bridges and Lloyd, an accounting firm, provides consulting and tax planning services. For many years, the firm's total administrative cost (currently $250,000) has been allocated to services on the basis of billable hours to clients. A recent analysis found that 65% of the firm's billable hours to clients resulted from tax planning services, while 35% resulted from consulting services. The firm, contemplating a change to activity-based costing, has identified three components of administrative cost, as follows: Staff Support $ 180,000 In-house computing charges 50,000 Miscellaneous office costs 20,000 Total $ 250,000 A recent analysis of staff support found a strong correlation between the number of staff personnel and the number of clients served (consulting, 20; tax planning, 60). In contrast, in-house computing and miscellaneous office cost varied directly with the number of computer hours logged and number of client transactions, respectively. Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours and had 20% of the total client transactions. If Bridges and Lloyd switched from its current accounting method to an activity-based costing system, the amount of administrative cost chargeable to consulting services would:
Answer: Decrease by $23,500
Explanation:
The Consulting cost under their current accounting system is:
= 250,000 * 35%
= $87,500
Under Activity based:
Staff support for Consulting:
20 goes to Consulting, 60 to tax planning.
Total = 20 + 60 = 80
Consulting is 20/80 of Staff support amount
= 20/80 * 180,000
= $45,000
In house computing charges for Consulting
Consulting consumed 30% of the firm's computer hours.
= 30% * 50,000
= $15,000
Miscellaneous office costs
Consulting consumed 20% of total client transactions
= 20% * 20,000
= $4,000
Total cost for Consulting under Activity based = 45,000 + 15,000 + 4,000
= $64,000
Difference = 87,500 - 64,000
= $23,500
postretirement health care benefit plan. On January 1 of the current calendar year, the following plan-related data were available. Net loss-postretirement benefit plan $ 222,000 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation $ 2,100,000 Fair value of plan assets $ 440,000 Average remaining service period to retirement 12 years Average remaining service period to full eligibility 10 years The rate of return on plan assets during the year was 12%. The expected return was 10%. The actuary revised assumptions regarding the APBO at the end of the year, resulting in a $32,000 increase in the estimate of the obligation. Required: 1. Calculate any amortization of net loss that should be included as a component of postretirement benefit expense for the current year. 2. Determine the net loss or gain as of December 31 of the current year.
Answer:
1. Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Ending Net Loss: $244,200
Explanation:
Data Given:
Net Loss Post Retirement Benefit Plan = $222,000
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Average Remaining Service period to full eligibility = 10 years
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Required:
1. Amortization of net loss
Solution:
For Amortization of net loss, we need to have the value of excess at the beginning of the year and average remaining service years.
So,
Net loss = $222,000
And
Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation = $2,100,000
Expected Return = 10%
So,
Find 10% of the Accumulated Port Retirement Benefit Obligation
$2,100,000 x 10% = $210,000
Now, for excess at the beginning of the year:
$222,000 - $210,000
excess at the beginning of the year = $12,000
And we know that,
Average Remaining Service period to Retirement = 12 years
Amortization of net loss = $12,000/12 years
Amortization of net loss = $1000
2. Net loss or gain at the end of the year.
Solution:
We know the beginning net loss = $222,000
Estimate in the obligation = $32,000
Now, we need to find the excess actual return over expected return:
Amortization of net loss = $1000
Fair value of Plan Assets = $440,000
Rate of Return on Plan Assets during the year = 12%
Expected Return = 10%
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (12% - 10%)
excess actual return over expected return: $440,000 x (2%)
excess actual return over expected return: $8,800
Now,
For the Ending Net Loss:
(beginning net loss + Estimate in the obligation - excess actual return over expected return - Amortization of net loss)
$222,000 + $32,000 -$8,800 - $1000 = $244,200
Ending Net Loss: $244,200

Answer:
Stuart Manufacturing Company
Assets = $107,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash Account
Common stock $89,000
Furniture (32,000)
Equipment (40,000)
Salaries (12,000)
Wages (21,000)
Raw materials (26,000)
Sales 72,000
Cash balance $30,000
Inventory:
Cost = $26,000
Units produced = 10,000 units
Cost per unit = $2.60 ($26,000/10,000)
Cost of goods sold = 8,000 * $2.60 = $20,800
Ending inventory = 2,000 * $2.60 = $5,200
Sales Revenue = 8,000 * $9 = $72,000
Assets:
Cash $30,000
Ending inventory 5,200
Furniture 32,000
Equipment 40,000

For the year, Jensen's has depreciation of $2,058, dividends paid of $125, interest expense of $382, an addition to retained earnings of $3,408, and an increase in common stock of $2,500. The total tax rate is 21 percent. What is the operating cash flow
Answer:
$5,973
Explanation:
The computation of operating cash flow is seen below;
Net income = $125 + $3,408 = $3533
Net income $3,533 - Interest expense $382 - Depreciation $2,058 = EBIT $1,093
Tax = 21% × $1,093 = $229.53
Operating cash flow = $1,093 + $2,058 + $2,700 - $229.53 = $5,973

England and Scotland both produce scones and sweaters. Suppose that an English worker can produce 50 scones per hour or 1 sweater per hour. Suppose that a Scottish worker can produce 40 scones per hour or 2 sweaters per hour.
If free trade exists between the countries, then each country will benefit if
a. England exports scones, Scotland exports sweaters.
b. England exports sweaters, Scotland exports scones.
c. both countries export scones.
d. given the production possibilities, both countries will not benefit from trade.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The country with a comparative advantage in the production of a good should export the good
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
England
Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 1/50 = 0.02
Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 50/1 = 50
Scotland
Comparative advantage in the production of scones = 2/40 = 0.05
Comparative advantage in the production of sweater = 40/2 = 20
England has a comparative advantage in the production of scones and should export scones
Scotland has a comparative advantage in the production of sweaters and should export sweaters

In 1963, an investor opened a savings account with $LaTeX: \text{K} K earning simple interest at annual rate of LaTeX: 2.5\% 2.5 % . Four years later, the investor closed the account and invested the accumulated amount in a savings account earning LaTeX: 5\% 5 % compound interest. Determine the number of years (since 1963) necessary for the balance to reach $LaTeX: 3K 3 K .
Answer:
The number of years necessary for the balance to turn from K to 3K (since 1963) in the given situation = 24.5636 years rounded off to 25 years
Explanation:
The simple interest earned is at the rate of 2.5%. The formula for simple interest per year is,
Simple interest per year = Investment * interest rate
Simple interest per year = 1K * 2.5% => $0.025K
Simple interest for 4 years = 0.025 * 4 = $0.1K
So, total investment at the after 4 years = 1K + 0.1K = $1.1K
The formula for future value of a sum of amount will be used to calculate the value of investment at a future date. The formula is as follows,
Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t
Where,
r is the interest rate or rate of returnt is the time periodSo, accumulated earnings ($1.1K) are invested at 5% compound interest. The value of t necessary for 1.1K to turn into 3K can be found as follows,
3 = 1.1 * (1.05)^t
3 / 1.1 = 1.05^t
2.727272727 = 1.05^t
ln(2.727272727) / ln(1.05) = t
t = 20.5636 years rounded off to 21 years
The number of years necessary for the balance to turn from K to 3K in the given situation = 4 + 20.5636 = 24.5636 rounded off to 25 years

5 $200,000 $228,836.80 $28,837.00 $2,000,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
10% Bonds' maturity value = $2,000,000
Bonds sales value = $1,855,816
Total discount = $144,184
Annual Interest = $200,000 ($2,000,000 * 10%)
Maturity period = 5 years (January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2025)
Annual amortization of discount = $28,836.80 ($144,184/5)
Total interest cost with amortized discount each year = $228,836.80
b) Under the straight line method, the premium or discount on the bond is amortized in equal amounts over the life of the bond, as demonstrated above.
Based on the information given, it should be noted that the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.
Interest expenseFrom the information given, the following can be calculated:
Discount on issue = $2000000 - $1855816 = $144184
Discount to be amortized on each interest date = $144184 / 5 = $28836.80
Cash interest annual = $2000000 * 10% = $200000
Therefore, the Cash Interest, Discount amortized and Interest Expenses from 2020 to 2025 will be $20,000, $28836.80, and $228836.80 respectively.

Explanation:
Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for the month, thus owing you $5100. Today, when the repayment is due, he asked you to extend the loan for another month and he would pay you the $5100 next month. In the meantime, you have had the offer to invest as much as you wish in an oil-well venture that is expected to pay 40% per year and a hot new IT stock that is estimated to return 39% the first year. If you let your colleague have another month, what is the opportunity cost of your decision
Answer:
The opportunity cost of lending the money to the friend is the largest expected return that could be earned with the money loaned to the friend. From the available opportunity, the investor could earn maximum of 40% by investing in oil well venture. Thus, the opportunity cost to the investor is 40%
The opportunity cost in dollar = Investment * Opportunity cost in %
= $5,000 * 40%
= $2,000
Thus, the opportunity cost in dollar is $2,000
An entrepreneur recently purchased Cocoon's, a local deli, on the beach. To operate the business, she estimates that selling and administrative expenses will be $98,510.00 per year and that depreciation will be $20,000.00 per year. As part of her purchase, she took out a bank loan that will require $76,265.00 per year in interest. She anticipates paying a 32.00% tax rate on income. She estimates that the deli will attract 200.00 customers per day. Each customer will spend $12.00 on average. The cost of goods per customer will be $4.50. She will operate the deli 350.00 days per year. What is the projected net profit margin for the deli
Answer:
27%
Explanation:
The computation of the net profit margin is shown below;
As we know that
net profit margin = Net profit ÷ sales
where
net profit is
Particulars Amount
Sales (200 customers × $12 × 350 days) $840,000
Less: cost of goods sold (200 customers × $4.50 × 350 days) -$315,000
Gross profit $525,000
Less:
Selling and admin expense -$98,510
Depreciation expense - $20,000
Bank loan interest -$76,265
Net income before tax $330,225
Less tax at 32% -$105,672
Net income after tax $224,553
Now the net profit margin is
= $224,553 ÷ $840,000
= 27%
