Peterson Corporation wanted to run an ad campaign that featured popular songs sung by the original singer. The aim was to make an emotional connection with people who remembered the songs. When Bette was approached to sing for the commercial, she refused saying she did not "do" commercials. Peterson Corporation still wanted to use the song, so they hired a backup singer for Bette and she was told to "sound as much as possible like the Bette record." The backup singer did the commercial, and people, even close acquaintances of Bette, thought it was her. Bette sued Peterson Corporation for wrongfully appropriating her likeness.

Required:
Is this a valid example of misappropriation. Why or why not.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.

This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.

To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.

They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.

This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.

How many years would it take for Jughead to save an adequate amount for retirement if he deposits $2,000 per month into an account beginning today that pays 12 percent per year if he wishes to have a total of $1,000,000 at retirement

Answers

Answer:

The number of year needed to save the amount = 36.2739

Explanation:

The annual deposit amount (A) = $2000

Annual interest rate (r ) = 12 %

The retirement amount or the expected amount at the time of retirement (FV)  = $1000000

Number of years = n

So if the Jughead want the retirement amount $1000000 that has interest rate 12 percent then we need to calculate the number  of years.

Below is the calculation of number of years.

[tex]FV = A \frac{(1 + r)^{n}}{r} \\1000000 = 2000 \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\\frac {1000000}{2000} = \frac{(1 + 12 \ percent )^{n} - 1}{12 \ percent} \\500 = \frac{(1 + 0.12)^{n} - 1}{0.12} \\ n = 36.2739 \ years[/tex]

A firm expects to have net income of $5,000,000 during the next year. The company’s target capital structure is 35% debt and 65% equity. The company's director of capital budgeting has determined that the optimal capital budget for the coming year is $6,000,000. If SL Computer follows a residual distribution policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends) to determine the coming year’s dividend, then what is the firm’s expected dividend payments?

Answers

Answer:

$1,100,000

Explanation:

The firm expected to have 5,000,000 as net Income

Capital Structure; Debt=35% , Equity= 65%

$6,000,000 is determined to be the Optimal capital budget for the coming year

The firm’s expected dividend payments following a residual distribution policy is = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]

Where Net Income =5,000,000 Total capital budget =6,000,000 Equity Ratio= 65%

Hence Total Dividend Payment = $5,000,000 – [$6,000,000 x 65%]

= $5,000,000 - $3,900,000

= $1,100,000

The firm’s expected dividend payments is = $1,100,000,

Answers

Answer:

B) YI, VP, WX

Explanation:

VP YI WX

Selling price per unit

$248.04 $230.66 $505.44

Variable cost per unit

190.71 $172.14 $388.80

Contribution margin per unit

(Selling price - variable cost)

$57.33 $58.52 $116.64

The amount of the constrained resource that would be required to produce one unit

3.90 3.80 8.10

Therefore:

$57.33÷3.90=$14,70

$58.52÷3.80 =$15.40

$116.64÷8.10=$14.40

Therefore the Contribution margin per unit of the constrained resource would be

$14.70 $15.40 $14.40

Therefore the Ranking the products in order of their current profitability from most profitable to least profitable would be:

YI =$15.90

VP=$14.70

WX=$14.40

Which is YI VP WX

The year-end 2009 balance sheet for Tom's Copy, Inc. lists common stock ($1.00 par value) of $ 5,870 , capital surplus of $ 17,290 and retained earnings of $ 47,076 . On the 2010 year-end balance sheet, retained earnings are listed as $ 50,350 . The firm's net income in 2010 was $ 9,811 . No stock was issued or repurchased in 2010. What were dividends per share paid by the firm in 2010

Answers

Answer:

$1.11 per share

Explanation:

For computing the dividend per share first we have to determine the dividend by applying the following formula

Amount of dividend = Beginning balance of retained earnings + Net Income - Ending balance of retained earnings

= $47,076 + $9,811 - $50,350

= $6,537

And, the number of shares  is

= $5,870  ÷  $1 par

= 5,870 shares

So, the Dividend per share is

= Dividend ÷ number of shares

= $6,537  ÷  5,870 shares

= $1.11 per share

g A decrease in the price of a good would a. increase the supply of the good. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good. c. give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling. d. shift the supply curve for the good to the left.

Answers

Answer:

. b. increase the quantity demanded of the good

Explanation:

An decrease in the price of the good increases the demand for the good according to the law of demand.

The law of demand states that the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

An increase in price would increase supply.

A change in price leads to a movement along either the demand or supply curve.

Other factors other than the change in price leads to a movement of these curves.

I hope my answer helps you

Answer:

A decrease in the price of a good would increase the supply of the good.

A decrease in the price of a good would NOT increase the quantity demanded of the good.

A decrease in the price of a good would NOT give producers an incentive to produce more to keep profits from falling.

The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.

Answers

Answer:

c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.

Explanation:

In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.

If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.

In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.

When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.

People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.

Mr. Grove's argument is to provide additional incentives to U.S. firms for domestic investment in more mass production. If implemented, this would have the largest impact on firms using which of the four integration-responsiveness strategies?A) Transnational strategy because such incentives help differentiation.B) Multi-domestic strategy because incentives would increase global responsiveness.C) Global-standardization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.D) International strategy because these incentives would reduce pressure for responsiveness globally.E) Global-standardization strategy because incentives align with the death-of-distance.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the option C: Global-standarization strategy because incentives would lower domestic costs.

Explanation:

To begin with, the term of ''global-standarization strategy'' in the field of business is known because of being part of the group of the four integration-responsiveness strategies and is the one that focus in the standarization of the product in a globally way. Therefore that this type of strategy is the one that would be used in the case of looking for an investment in the mass production locally due to the fact that the firms will be producing goods in a standard way and therefore that they would use universal supplies in every production in order to increase the amount of the production to achieve a mass number.

Suppose a stock had an initial price of $92 per share, paid a dividend of $2.30 per share during the year, and had an ending share price of $75.50. a. Compute the percentage total return. (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What was the dividend yield

Answers

Answer:

(a) Percentage return = -$14.20 ÷ $92 = -15.43%

(b) Dividend Yield = $2.30 ÷ $92 = 2.50%

Explanation:

Initial price per share= $92.00

Ending share price = $75.50

Capital loss = $75.50 - $92.00  = -$16.50

Dividend = $2.30

Net return = -$16.50 + $2.30 = -$14.20

(a) Percentage return = (-$14.20 ÷ $92) × 100% = -15.43%

(b) Dividend Yield = ($2.30 ÷ $92) × 100% = 2.50%

The University of Michigan football stadium, built in 1927, is the largest college stadium in America, with a seating capacity of 110,500 fans. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins, and the athletic department collects $86.19 million in ticket sales. Required: 1. What is the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold

Answers

Answer:

The average price per season ticket is $780

The average price per individual game ticket is $130

Explanation:

The season involves 6 home games. Thus, a season ticket entitles you to attend six home games. The capacity of the stadium is 110500 fans per game. Thus, for a season of 6 games, the number of total fans to attend will be,

Season total attendance = 6 *110500   =  663000 fans

Average ticket price per game will be = 86,190,000 / 663,000

Average ticket price per game will be = $130

As the season involves 6 games and the average ticket price per game is $130, the average price per season ticket will be,

Average price per season ticket = 130 * 6     = $780

b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.
c. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal.
d. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal and an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin.

Answers

Answer:

b. estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion and disposal, an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.

Explanation:

Note that the lower of cost market rule is explicitly encouraging businesses to record the lowest cost of inventory; for example using the original cost or its current market price, whichever is favourable.

Thus, the "market" must not be more than the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, with an allowance for an approximately normal profit margin, and an adequate reserve for possible future losses.

g For a period during which the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than that at the beginning, income from operations reported under variable costing will be smaller than income from operations reported under absorption costing. Group of answer choices False True

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation:

Variable costing is a method which is used to assign the variable costs to the inventory. In this approach, all the overhead costs will be charged to expense during the period that they were incurred, while the direct materials and the variable overhead costs will be assigned to the inventory.

In this scenario, for a period whereby the quantity of inventory at the end was smaller than the quantity of inventory at the beginning, the income from operations that is reported under the variable costing will be smaller than the income from the operations that is reported under absorption costing. This is because the beginning inventory inventory has been released at a rate that is higher at than the ending inventory thereby making the income under the absorption costing to be smaller.

b.$700
c.$650
d.$750

Answers

Answer:

lLIFO-option B is correct ,$750

FIFO-option A is correct,$800

Explanation:

In using LIFO, each item sold is from the last inventory received while the FIFO is of the opinion that item sold is the oldest stock of inventory.

Under LIFO, cost of ending merchandise is as follows:

10 units (20-10) at      $20=$200

10 units (30-20) at     $25=$250

10 units at  $30                =$300

Total value of inventory  =$750

The correct option is B,$750

Under FIFO, cost of ending inventory is as follows:

20 units at  $25                 =$500

10 units at $30                   = $300

total value of inventory      =$800

The correct option is A,$800

A company plans to replace one of its machines 5 years from now. If they deposit $6,827 a month in an account that gives them 0.65% interest per month. How much money will they still need to pay for the machine if the cost is $1,123,553 at that time in the future?

Answers

Answer:

They would require $624,532.94  more

Explanation:

The first task is to compute the future value of the monthly deposit of $6,827 with an interest of 0.65% per month for five years.

=fv(rate,nper,-pmt,pv)

rate id 0.65% per month

nper is the number of deposits =5 years*12=60

pmt is the monthly deposit of $6,827

pv is the present value of deposits,it is unknown and taken as zero

=fv(0.65%,60,-6827,0)=$499,020.06  

balance of the required funds=required funds-future value of the deposits

balance of required funds= $1,123,553-$499,020.06=$624,532.94

Calculate the Social Security and Medicare deductions for the following employee (assume a tax rate of 6.2% on $128,400 for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare): (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answers

Answer:

Social Security tax = $7,960.80

Medicare tax = $1,861.80

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the information given:

Social Security tax rate = 6.2%,

Medicare tax rate = 1.45%,

Income = $128,400

To calculate for the deductions(tax), we use the formula:

Tax = Tax rate * Income

For Social Security

Tax = Tax rate * Income

Tax = 6.2% * $128,400

T = 0.062 * $128,400

T = $7,960.80

∴ $7,960.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Social Security tax

For Medicare

Tax = Tax rate * Income

Tax = 1.45% * $128,400

T = 0.0145 * $128,400

T = $1,861.80

∴ $1,861.80 of the employee's income is deducted for Medicare tax

XYZ began operations in 2018. The company reported $128,000 of depreciation expense on its income statement in 2018 and $84,000 in 2019. On its tax returns, the company deducted $192,000 for depreciation in 2018 and $112,000 in 2019. The 2019 tax return shows a tax obligation (liability) of $132,000 based on a 25% tax rate.
Calculate the income tax expense for 2019.

Answers

Answer:

The income tax expense for 2019 is $128,000

Explanation:

Income tax payable for 2019 is $132,000

Deferred tax asset for 2018 will be:

(128,000-112,000) * 25%

=16000 x 25%

=$4,000

Income Tax Expenses for 2019 will be:

Income tax payable - Deferred Tax asset

=$132,000 - $4,000

=$128,000

A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. This means that copper and bronze are perfect substitutes and that her isoquant curve is right-angled.

Answers

Answer: straight lines that are parallel to each other

Explanation: Q: A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. What must her isoquants look like?

An isoquant curve is defined as a line of equal or constant economic production on a graph, chart or map which describes all the combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output. If the jeweler either uses copper or bronze but not both, it means that the copper and bronze are perfect substitutes, that is,  they are two inputs that can be substituted for each other at a constant rate and at the same time maintaining the same output level. Her isoquants would appear as straight lines that are parallel to each other because all that matters is the sum of the two variables (copper and bronze), and not their individual values.

Mobile applications and conventional phones
Smartphones and conventional phones

Answers

Answer:

Mobile Applications and Smart Phones are Complements

Smart Phones and Conventional Phones are Substitutes

Mobile Applications and Conventional Phones are substitutes.

Explanation:

Complement goods are goods that can be used or consumed together. E.g. car and gas. A car would not work without gas. A rise in price of a good leads to a fall in demand of the complement good.

Subsituite goods rival one another in consumption. They can be used in place of another good.

A rise in price of a good leads to a rise in demand of the other good.

On September 30, 2018, the San Fillipo Corporation issued 8% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $480 million. The bonds mature on September 30, 2038 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bonds was 10%. Interest is paid semiannually on March 31 and September 30.

Required:
Determine the price of the bonds on September 30, 2018.

Answers

Answer:

The price of the bonds today is $397.64 million (rounded off to two decimal places)

Explanation:

The price of a bond is calculated as the present value of the face value of the bond discounted at the market interest rate plus the present value of the annuity of interest payments related to the bond discounted at the market interest rate or the Yield to Maturity (YTM).

The formula for the price of the bond is attached hereby.

Semi annual coupon rate = 8%/2  = 4%

Semi annual market interest rate = 10% / 2 = 5%

Number of semi annual interest periods = 20 * 2 = 40 periods

The interest paid by the bond semi annually is = 480 * 0.04 = $19.2 million

Price of the bond = 19.2 * [(1 - (1+0.05)^-40) / 0.05] + 480 / (1+0.05)^40

Price of the bond = $397.6363855 million rounded off to $397.64 million
