BlackBerry, which gained significant market share in the early 2000s in the business, government, and consumer markets, lost market share because "competitors offered phones with better designs and more features".
<u>Option:</u> B
<u>Explanation:</u>
The causes BlackBerry struggled are:
- They were unable to innovate quickly enough. Apple and all the Android phone manufacturers released their phones with new operating system and physical shapes.
- That was a major disruption in the market for cell phones and BlackBerry did not follow.
The company after Chen took over BlackBerry in late 2013 to concentrate more on apps. In 2016, the team stopped manufacturing its own branded phones and is now depending on suppliers to do so. The organization now provides a lot of its software and services revenues, as well as licensing, to big corporations.
Answer:
$114,000
Explanation:
Given that,
Net credit sales = $2,250,000
Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $36,000
Uncollectible accounts receivable written off = $90,000
Firstly, we need to find the excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts. It is calculated as follows:
= Uncollectible accounts receivable written off - Opening allowance for Doubtful Accounts
= $90,000 - $36,000
= $54,000
Allowance amount:
= 10% of the balance in receivables
= 0.1 × $600,000
= $60,000
Therefore, the required adjustment to the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at December 31, 2017 is determined by summing up the excess amount and allowance amount.
= Excess amount to be adjusted to allowance for Doubtful Accounts + Allowance amount
= $54,000 + $60,000
= $114,000
Answer:
The journal entries are as follows:
(i) On December 31, 2017
Unrealized gain or loss income A/c Dr. $10,800
To estimated purchase commitment liability $10,800
(To record other income and expenses)
Workings:
Unrealized gain or loss income = 36,000 × ($3 - $2.7)
= 36,000 × $0.3
= $10,800
(ii) On January 1, 2018
Raw material A/c (36,000 × $2.7) Dr. $97,200
Estimated purchase commitment liability A/c Dr. $10,800
To accounts payable $108,000
(To record the materials received in January 2018)

Answer:
Macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, we can assume that macaroni and cheese are considered as an inferior good for this consumer because there is an inverse relationship between the income level of this consumer and the quantity demanded for macaroni and cheese.
If there is 10% increase in the income of an individual then as a result quantity demanded of macaroni and cheese decreases by 15% and the price of this good remains constant. This shows that macaroni and cheese is an inferior good.
