Answer:

The answer is 9 ice cream sundaes.

Explanation:

The answer to how many ice cream sundaes that John's budget of $82 is constrained to based on the following data

New Price of Ice cream sundaes (Q1) = $6

New Price of Coffee (Q2) = $4

can be calculated thus

since, 7 coffee was bought for $4 dollars each

7x4 = $28

The remaining funds is now

82-28 = $56

therefore,

$56/$6 = 9 Ice cream sundaes

1. Sony has 12 core segments in its business. Is this too many or not enough? Are today’s companies diversified like they used t
mestny [16]

Answer:

1) This question is about whether diversification is good or bad for a large corporation. Whether diversification can be considered good or bad depends on the corporation itself, there is no one answer fits all. In this case, Sony is divided into 12 segments or divisions and each of them generates their own cash flows and offers their own products or services.

High tech companies generally tend to diversify a lot because they need to continuously produce innovative products or improve their existing ones. E.g. Google got so large and diversified that it turned into Alphabet which owns more than 200 companies (most of them through acquisitions). Sony's largest revenue sources are gaming services, financial services and home entertainment.

When we think about Sony we probably think about consumer electronics, the Playstation or even movies, but in order to be profitable, Sony had to expand and diversify. Sony's revenues are shifting from consumer electronics to services (including financial, gaming, network, music and movies), so that means that their diversification model actually worked.

2) Sony's goal with Future Lab is to create customer value and new lifestyles, whether they are able to do so depends on how well they work it out. Future Labs is based on San Francisco, and it should serve as a place where innovative prototypes should be tested by real users. The goal is that Sony can learn from actual real life user experiences in order to improve their products and services. The real life customers and users that want to participate in Sony's program must pay a fee for doing so, but they can also experience prototypes before anyone else.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Buyer Intentions Method also known as <em>Consumers' Buyer Plan.</em>

Explanation:

This plan involves approaching customers to elicit information from them about their likelihood to make purchases during a particular period. It is most effective when the number of customers is small relative to the ability of the business to reach out to them.

A sales forecast based on this method has several demerits such as:

  1. The customers may change their minds anytime without consultation with the business
  2. It is  an uneconomical way to do a forecast when the client base is large
  3. Predicting sales over the long-run using this method is statistically impossible

It has a few merits in that the information is obtained first hand from the consumers or buyer and the real intentions of the buyers at the time of collecting information is known.

Cheers!

Archy [21]

Answer:

Option B Change in accounting principle; retrospectively; required.

Explanation:

The reason is that the change is policies are considered in the international accounting standard IAS-8 Accounting policies, estimates and correction of errors. The standard says that the change in depreciation method is considered as a change in accounting policy which must be treated as retrospectively which means that the adjustments must be made to all the previous years using the same depreciation and must reflect the change in Changes in Wquity statement. This change in accounting policy as per the requirement s of the standard, must be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. Furthermore the changes in equity must only be opted if it increases the truth and fairness of the financial statement.
