Suppose that on January 6, 2018, East Coast Motors paid $ 280,000,000 for its 35 % investment in Boxcar Motors. East Coast has significant influence over Boxcar after the purchase. Assume Boxcar earned net income of $ 90,000,000 and paid cash dividends of $ 45,000,000 to all outstanding stockholders during 2018. (Assume all outstanding stock is voting stock.)

What method should East Cost Motors use to account for the investment in Boxcar Motors?

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
