Complete question:

A company that is at a disadvantage in the marketplace because it lacks competitively valuable resources possessed by rivals

A. should consider divesting assets and making future investments in promising new industries.  

B. may be able to develop substitute resources that accomplish the same objective as the competitively valuable resource possessed by rivals.

C. can still marshal competitive power in the marketplace by incorporating product or service features desired by niche buyers.

D. is virtually blockaded from using offensive strategies and must rely on defensive strategies.

E. should abandon strategy elements that have caused its weakness in the marketplace.

Answer:

May be able to develop substitute resources that accomplish the same objective as the competitively valuable resource possessed by rivals.

Explanation:

The scenario on the market is changing. Changing the product mix always makes sense. Your product marketing approach is a step forward in the changing market that makes both consumers and staff involved and engaged. The production of the drug can be dangerous, though, to divert the attention from tested and established market practices.

The advantage of substitute products is to give the customer a range of goods to suit his specifications. On the other hand, businesses may pay extra costs in order to create and advertise innovative deals as the best on the market.

A profitable company making earthmoving equipment is considering an investment of $150,000 on equipment that will have a 5 year
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Earthmoving Equipment Company

The preferable method of depreciation based on the Present Worth is:

(a) Straight line method

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of equipment = $150,000

Estimated useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = $50,000

Depreciable amount = $100,000 ($150,000 - $50,000)

Annual Depreciation:

Straight-line method = $20,000 ($100,000/5)

Double-declining-balance method rate = 40% (100%/5 * 2)

Depreciation Schedules:

a) Straight line method

Year      Cost        Depreciation      Accumulated      Net Book Value

                                Expense          Depreciation  

Year 1  $150,000     $20,000             $20,000             $130,000

Year 2 $150,000     $20,000             $40,000              $110,000

Year 3 $150,000     $20,000             $60,000              $90,000

Year 4 $150,000     $20,000             $80,000              $70,000

Year 5 $150,000     $20,000           $100,000              $50,000

b) double declining balance method

Year      Cost        Depreciation      Accumulated      Net Book Value

                                Expense          Depreciation  

Year 1  $150,000    $60,000            $60,000              $90,000

Year 2 $150,000      36,000              96,000                 54,000

Year 3 $150,000       4,000              100,000                 50,000

Year 4 $150,000

Year 5 $150,000

c) MACRS method

Year      Cost        Depreciation      Accumulated      Net Book Value

                                Expense          Depreciation  

Year 1  $150,000    $30,000             $30,000              $120,000

Year 2 $150,000      48,000                78,000                  72,000

Year 3 $150,000      28,800              106,800                  43,200

Year 4 $150,000       17,280              124,080                  25,920

Year 5 $150,000      17,280                141,360                    8,640

Year 6 $150,000       8,640               150,000                    0

Discount rate (MARR) = 10%

PW of Straight-line Depreciation Charges:

PV annual factor = 3.791

PW = $75,820 ($20,000 * 3.791)

PW of Double-declining-balance:

Year 1 = $54,540 ($60,000 * .909)

Year 2 = $29,736 ($36,000 * .826)

Year 3 = $3,004 ($4,000 * .751)

PW =    $87,280

PW of MACRS:

Year 1 = $27,200 ($30,000 * .909)

Year 2 = $39,648 ($48,000 * .826)

Year 3 = $21,629 ($28,800 * .751)

Year 4 = $11,802 ($17,280 * .683)

Year 5 = $10,731 ($17,280 * .621)

Year 6 = $4,873 ($8,640 * .564)

PW =   $115,883
