Answer:

$9.5m

Explanation:

Requirement 1

As the IAS 36 ( Impairment of assets) Impairment loss needs to be recorded when the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying value.

Book value of goodwill = $50million

Recoverable amount/Fair value = Fair value of Oxford the reporting unit  - Fair value of Oxford tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

Recoverable amount/Fair value = $250m - 209.5m

Recoverable amount/Fair value  = $40.5m

Impairment loss = Recoverable amount/Fair value - Book value

Impairment loss = $40.5m - $50m

Impairment loss = $9.5m

Requirement 2

In 2021, Goodwill will be recorded as $40.5m with an impairment loss of $9.5m

You have been hired to advise on economic policy by the Government of Backwardistan, a poor country run by a benevolent monarch.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation.

Explanation:

The concept of people's social and economic wellbeing has changed rapidly in today's highly dynamic and sophisticated world.So if the queen really wants to make improvements,she has to understand certain factors which are very crucial for the wellbeing of the people and the growth and development of the nation.Initially the need and wants of the small numbers of people were limited,the economy was highly centralised and self sufficient and barter system of exchange was practised but with the passage of time,today the population has increased,the world has been converted into a global village.And if the dynastic approach of the queen continues,the country will remain segregated and as its name suggests it will remain backwardistan forever.In order to achieve her desired goal,she needs to improve her misconceptions and adapt itself as per the changing trends in the world economy.The 3 immediate she needs to take urgently are as follows:-

Open economy-The very first thing she has to do is coverting her economy from closed to an open economy.It means that she needs to promote trade among countries around the world i.e.cross border trade needs to be carried out.This can be done through following a policy of Liberalisation,privatisation and Globalisation.Liberalisation means freeing the economy of the country from unnecessary controls and removing hindrances and trade barriers.Privatisation means the govt. of that country needs to disinvest its funds from areas which are less crucial with certain necessary regulations and allow the private sector to invest in such areas.Globalisation means connecting/integrating the country with the outer world.

Promote internet usage and its access:-No doubt internet has certain drawbacks and negative aspects too but they are not a cause of much concern.We can deal with such issues very comfortably,if we are aware,active and cautious with certain regulations on its issues.Solutions to such problems can be found.Internet has proved itself to be one of the most powerful tool in the current scenario that plays a very significant role in the growth of the society and improving people's being.This step can prove to be a milestone and masterstroke in the history of the country.unnecessary control over internet should be removed and its easy and equal access to all should be ensured with control.

Major and minor policy changes:-As she is taking a transformative step,no doubt there would be challenges to cope up,but she needs to bring all major and minor policy changes wherever required to achieve the above mentioned goals.She needs to create awareness among the general public make them comfortable with these changes and its positive impacts.

The above mentioned changes can bring out miraculous changes in the economy.In today's world,in order to grow a country needs capital,raw materials,latest technology and innovative ideas.No doubt,the country has abundant natural resources but they are not being utilised most effectively,efficiently to maximise the people's wellbeing.With liberalisation,there would be cross border trade that will provide best quality of goods and services at a much cheaper rates to its people.Availability of more goods and services to the people cheaply is bound to make positive changes in the lives of the people.With privatisation,she can use her funds in more crucial areas rather than investing them in less important areas.Globalisation can lead to exchange of people,ideas and technology and much more.These steps can bring foreign investment in the country more capital and latest technology would be brought alongwith them it will ensure best utilisation of its resources.People would get more earning opportunities,thus more income and improving there life.The people and businesses can invest and work abroad to bring remittances to the country.And still there are much benefits.

No doubt there would be some problems in the economy with internal traders and businesses facing difficulties but at the same time this would force them to adapt themselves as per the world scenario taking them to newer heights.The people of that country would be most benefitted with wider choices at cheaper costs.

Internet is something which brings the whole world on our screen with a single click of a button.This can prove to be boon in bringing above changes in the society and can bring miraculous changes in the lives of the people.It can smoothen and strengthen the administration and make easy access of public to the services and much much more.

The Queen is not doing her best for her subjects with the current policies ,so she needs to keep her preconceptions aside and make the above mentioned changes.

Q 19.22: Portland and Hadley operate in the same industry. Portland's sales, variable costs, and fixed costs are $1,000,000, $70
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Go up or down by the same amount as Portland’s because both companies have equal net income

Explanation:

Here are the options to this question :

A: Go up twice as much as Hadley’s, but go down only half as much as Portland’s.

B: Go up or down twice as much as Portland’s.

C: Go up or down by the same amount as Portland’s because both companies have equal net income.

D: Go up or down half as much as Portland’s.

Income = Revenue - total costs

total costs = fixed costs + variable cost

For Portland

$1,000,000 - ($700,000 + $100,000) = $200,000

For Hadley :

$1,000,000 - ($400,000 + $400,000) = $200,000

If each company experiences an equal increase or decrease in sales, Hadley's income will increase and decrease as much as Portland's because both companies have equal net income

The admissions director at big city university proposed using the iq scores of current students as a marketing tool. the univers
Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

Dunkin' Brands just paid an annual dividend of $1.10 a share. The firm expects to increase this dividend by 8 percent per year t
Tema [17]

Answer:

Dividend in year 7 will be calculated as follows:

D3 = Do(1+g)n = 1.10(1+0.08)3

D7= Do(1+g)n(1+g)n = 1.10(1.08)3(1+0.02)4 = $1.4999

Explanation:

In the first instance, we need to calculate dividend in 3 year's time based on current dividend paid at 8% growth rate. Thereafter, we also need to calculate dividend from from year 4 to year 7(4 years) based on the new growth rate of 2%. The combination of these growth regimes gives the dividend in year 7.
