Answer:
$310,080
Explanation:
Incremental revenue refers to the additional revenue generated by a certain project or activity. In this case, your sales should increase by 16% from 102,000 units to 118,320 units. Total revenue will increase from $1,938,000 (= 102,000 x $19) to $2,248,080 (= 118,320 x $19).
The incremental revenue = $2,248,080 - $1,938,000 = $310,080

10. Define transfer pricing. Describe at least two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities. How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures
Answer:
Explanation:
(A) What is Transfer Pricing?
This is an accounting practice that sets prices for goods and services bought and sold between related entities.
(B) Two methods of defending transfer prices if they are challenged by tax authorities:
1. Treating the related or commonly controlled entities as if they are 2 independent entities.
2. Claiming that services rendered between the 2 related entities could not be priced.
(C) How are transfer prices used in managing multinational tax exposures?
- Transfer Prices help reduce import and export duties. They are used to manage multinational tax exposures by exporting or shipping the goods at a low transfer price, to subsidiaries or related entities in countries with high tariff rates.
- It reduces income taxes and corporate taxes in high tax countries, by overpricing goods that are sold/transferred to subsidiaries in countries with low tax rate.
1. If you and your BSG team decided to explore the possibility of diversification beyond the athletic shoe market, what factors would you consider to be positive factors in selecting a diversification target and why; i.e. what positive elements would you be looking for in making your decision? 2. What factors would discourage you from pursuing a diversification strategy with another firm and why?
Answer: provided in the explanation section
Explanation:
The process of diversification has to do with connecting to new business opportunity with the existing business. This business startegy helps the company to enter a new area of the market in which it is not currently working. The risk associated with it can or may not provide extraordinary benefits.
In these cases, there are positive factors that encourage diversification-
Other companies will handle the losses in the current company.
Unpleasant surprises can be offset by market diversification.
The resources used under these can be used in sports shoe styling in game simulation companies such as background designers, creative team and so on.
The customer base would be more like that, thereby reducing the attempt of the company to shape a whole new customer base.
If the gaming business starts to decline at any time, all its resources can be used in this new business.
There are always, however, factors which prevent such diversifications.
This can restrict business growth opportunities in the gaming sector as new companies can get investment that is needed to be more competitive.
More new skilled employees, equipment and resources will be needed as the production requires a whole new set of know-how and equipment.
A poorly managed diversification will cause existing businesses to suffer.
As this is a broad horizontal diversification, they can not respond with the same speed to market changes.

At the end of the year, Ilberg Company provided the following actual information:
Overhead $423,600
Direct labor cost 532,000
Ilberg uses normal costing and applies overhead at the rate of 80% of direct labor cost. At the end of the year, Cost of Goods Sold (before adjusting for any overhead variance) was $1,890,000.
Required:
a. Dispose of the overhead variance by adjusting Cost of Goods Sold.
b. Calculate the overhead variance for the year.
Answer:
Adjusted cost of goods sold =$ 1,888,000
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Explanation:
Overhead variance:
is the difference between the absorbed overhead and the actual overhead.
Absorbed overhead = OAR × direct labor cost
= 80% × 532,000 = $425,600
Over absorbed overhead = absorbed overhead - Actual overhead
= 425,600 - 423,600 = 2,000 over-absorbed
Overhead variance = 2,000 favorable
Adjusted cost of goods sold
= cost of goods sold - over absorbed overheads
= 1,890,000 - 2,000 =$ 1,888,000
Orange Corporation acquired new office furniture on August 15, 2018, for $130,000. Orange does not elect immediate expensing under § 179. Orange claims any available additional first-year depreciation. If required, round your answer to the nearest dollar.
a. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018
The office furniture is classified as a seven-year class of property for MACRS. If bonus depreciation is elected, Orange's deduction is
b. Determine Orange's cost recovery for 2018 if Orange decided to only use $52,000 of bonus depreciation and normal MACRS on the balance of the acquisition cost.
Answer:
Explanation:
a) The asset is purchased in 2018.
In 2018, bonus depreciation % has been increased from 50% to 100%. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange Corporation can deduct 100% of Purchase cost of $130,000.
The office furniture is classified as seven year class of property for MACRs. If bonus depreciation is elected Orange's deduction is $130,000
= $130,000
b) if Orange decides to use only $52,000 of bonus depreciation, it can claim depreciation (MACRS) on balance amount of acquisition cost.
Cost Recovery for 2018:
Bonus depreciation = $52,000
MACRS Depreciation [($130,000 - $52,000) * 14.29%]= $11,146.20
Hence, Cost Recovery for 2018 = Bonus depreciation + MACRS Depreciation
= $52,000 + $11,146.20
= $63,146 (rounded off to nearest dollar)
Strait Co. manufactures office furniture. During the most productive month of the year, 3,300 desks were manufactured at a total cost of $82,000. In the month of lowest production, the company made 1,130 desks at a cost of $59,000. Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are
Answer:
Using the high-low method of cost estimation, total fixed costs are $47,020
Explanation:
Cost at highest level of activity = $82,000.00
Cost at Lowest level of activity = $59,000.00
Highest level of activity = 3,300
Lowest Level of activity = 1,130
Variable cost per unit = $(82,000 - 59,000) ÷ (3,300 -1,130)
Variable cost per unit = $23,000 ÷ 2,170
Variable cost per unit = $10.60
Fixed Costs = $82,000 - (3,300 × 10.60)
Fixed Costs = $47,020
For each of the following cases determine the ending balance in the inventory account. (Hint: First, determine the total cost of inventory available for sale. Next, subtract the cost of the inventory sold to arrive at the ending balance.) a. Jill’s Dress Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $40,000. During the accounting period, Jill’s purchased $75,000 of inventory, returned $5,000 of inventory, and obtained $750 of purchases discounts. Jill’s incurred $1,000 of transportation-in cost and $600 of transportation-out cost. Salaries of sales personnel amounted to $31,000. Administrative expenses amounted to $35,600. Cost of goods sold amounted to $82,300. b. Ken’s Bait Shop had a beginning balance in its inventory account of $8,000. During the accounting period, Ken’s purchased $36,900 of inventory, obtained $1,200 of purchases allowances, and received $360 of purchases discounts. Sales discounts amounted to $640. Ken’s incurred $900 of transportation-in cost and $260 of transportation-out cost. Selling and administrative cost amounted to $12,300. Cost of goods sold amounted to $33,900.
Answer:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop:
Ending Inventory 10,340
Explanation:
Jill's Dress Shop:
Beginning 40,000
Purchases 75,000
Returned (5,000)
Discounts (750)
Freight-In 1,000
Cost of Goods Sold (82,300)
Ending Inventory 27,950
Ken's Bait Shop
Beginning 8,000
Purchases 36,900
Allowances (1,200)
Discounts (360)
Freight-In 900
Cost of Goods Sold (33,900)
Ending Inventory 10,340
The freight-out and sales discount have an impact in net sales and selling expenses they do not constitute part of the inventory as are relatedto the sale of the goods rather than acquisition.
Answer:
Determination of Ending Inventory:a) Beginning Inventory = $40,000
Purchases = $75,000
Purchases Return = ($5,000)
Purchases Discounts = ($750)
Freight-in = $1,000
Cost of Goods Available$110,250
less cost of goods sold ($82,300)
Ending Inventory $27,950
b) Beginning Inventory = $8,000
Purchases = $36,900
Purchases Return = ($1,200)
Purchases Discounts = ($360)
Freight-in = $900
Cost of Goods Available $44,240
less cost of goods sold ($33,900)
Ending Inventory $10,340
Explanation:
a) Ending inventory represents the value of goods available for sale and held by a company at the end of an accounting period. It is calculated as follows: Beginning Inventory + Net Purchases - Cost of Goods Sold (or COGS) = Ending Inventory. The value of goods available for sale at the end of the accounting period is important in reporting the financial status of any trading or producing company.
b) The cost of goods available for sale includes the beginning inventory, the net purchases of inventory, and the freight-in during the period.

c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?
e. After seeing this revised budget, the production manager cautioned that due to the current production constraint, a complex milling machine, the plant can produce no more than 80,000 units in any one quarter. Is this a potential problem?
Answer:
a. What are the total expected cash collections for the year under this revised budget?
65 + 236.25 + 78.75 + 367.5 + 122.5 + 551.25 + 183.75 + 367.5 = 1,972.5 x $1,000 = $1,972,500
b. What is the total required production for the year under this revised budget?
52.5 + 80.5 + 94.5 + 76 = 303.5 x 1,000 = 303,500 units
c. What is the total cost of raw materials to be purchased for the year under this revised budget?
237 + 367.5 + 507.5 + 360 = 1,472 x 1,000 = 1,472,000 pounds x $0.80 = $1,177,600
d. What are the total expected cash disbursements for raw materials for the year under this revised budget?

You just made the last monthly payment on a 30 year mortgage -- the house is yours! In your joyous moment, you calculate how much you made in payments over those 30 years, and it is $647,514! If your interest rate was an APR of 6%, and you made equal monthly payments, how much did you originally borrow for this house
Answer:
$112,807
Explanation:
To calculate the amount of money you borrowed, you have to use the formula to calculate the present value:
PV=FV/(1+r)^n
PV= pressent value
FV= future value= 647,514
r= rate= 6%
n= number of periods of time= 30
PV=647,514/(1+0.06)^30
PV=647,514/(1.06)^30
PV=647,514/5.74
PV=112,807
According to this, you originally borrowed $112,807 for this house.

On the basis of this information, find the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016.
Answer:
The annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%
Explanation:
In order to Calcualte the Holding Period Return for 2012 through 2016
we would have to use and calculate the following formula :
HPR = [(P1-P0) +D] / P0
P0 = Beginning value of stock = $39.26
P1 = The closing value of stock = $111.07
D = Dividends received during the year =($0.75 + $0.99 + $0.96 + $1.65 + $2.05) = $6.40
Substituting all the values in the formula , we will get Holding period return
HPR = [($111.07 - $39.26) + $6.40] / $39.26
= $78.21/ $39.26
= 1.9921
= 199.21%
Therefore, the annual holding period returns for 2012 through 2016 is 199.21%

= $70,000 - $35,000 - $16,000
= $19,000
Taxable Income = Earnings Before Interest - Interest paid
= $19,000 - $450
= $18,550
Net Income = Taxable Income - Taxes
= $18,550 - ($18,550 × 34%)
= $18,550 - $6,307
= $12,243
2. The computation of dividend per share is shown below:-
Dividend per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares outstanding
= $12,243 ÷ 4,000 million
= $3.06
3. The computation of current share price is shown below:-
Current share price = Current dividend ÷ (Expected return - Growth rate)
= $3.06 ÷ (10% - 4%)
= $3.06 ÷ 6%
= $51
Therefore we have applied the above formula.
From the following list of steps in the accounting cycle, identify what two steps are missing: Transactions are analyzed and recorded in the journal. An unadjusted trial balance is prepared. Adjustment data are assembled and analyzed. An optional end-of-period spreadsheet is prepared. Adjusting entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. An adjusted trial balance is prepared. Closing entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. A post-closing trial balance is prepared. Select the steps in the accounting cycle in their proper order in order and include the two missing steps.
Answer:
The Accounting Cycle refers to the process of recording and analyzing the transactions of a business into it's books so that proper financial statements may be recorded and used.
It happens in 10 steps which are;
1. Transactions are analyzed and recorded in the journal.
2. Transactions are posted to the ledger. ( Missing)
3. An unadjusted trial balance is prepared.
4. Adjustment data are assembled and analyzed.
5. An optional end-of-period spreadsheet (work sheet) is prepared.
6. Adjusting entries are journalized and posted to the ledger.
7. An adjusted trial balance is prepared.
8. Financial statements are prepared. (Missing)
9. Closing entries are journalized and posted to the ledger.
10. A post-closing trial balance is prepared.
Step 2

Which of the following is a disadvantage of growth by means of external growth strategies? Group of answer choices Diversification of business risk Economies of scale Getting access to proprietary products or services Reducing competition Loss of organizational flexibility
Answer:
- Loss of organizational flexibility
- Diversification of business
Explanation:
Remember, External growth strategies unlike the Internal growth strategies involves using external assistance to grow the organization, such as merging or acquiring other companies, franchising or forming joint ventures.
In such a case, organisational flexibility could be lost since the organization becomes more complex as a result of bringing in more people into the organization. Also, another disadvantage is that with a restructured management team, the business may experience unexpected diversification into other products as in the case of joint ventures.
uppose McKnight Corp.'s breakeven point is revenues of $ 1 comma 100 comma 000. Fixed costs are $ 660 comma 000. Requirements 1. Compute the contribution margin percentage. 2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit. 3. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars. 4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?
Answer:
1. Compute the contribution margin percentage.
40%2. Compute the selling price if variable costs are $16 per unit.
$26.673. Suppose 65 comma 000 units are sold. Compute the margin of safety in units and dollars.
margin of safety in $ = $633,550margin of safety in % = 36.55%4. What does this tell you about the risk of McKnight making a loss? What are the most likely reasons for this risk to increase?
Since the contribution margin is relatively high, this means that the production costs are relatively low (compared to selling price). The associated risks may come from high leverage, e.g. machinery purchased on credit that results in high interest expense. For the most part, having a high contribution margin is generally very good, just ask Apple.Explanation:
break even point is $ = $1,100,000 (= break even point units x selling price)
fixed costs = $660,000
contribution margin % = (total sales - total variable costs) / total sales
total variable costs = $1,100,000 - $660,000 = $440,000
contribution margin % = ($1,100,000 - $660,000) / $1,100,000 = 40%
variable costs = $16 per unit
0.4 = (x - $16) / x
0.4x = x - $16
$16 = 0.6x
x = $26.67
65,000 x $26.67 = $1,733,550
margin of safety in $ = $1,733,550 - $1,100,000 = $633,550
margin of safety in % = $633,550 / $1,733,550 = 36.55%

Victor Rumsfeld Inc.'s dividend policy is under review by its board. Its projected capital budget is $2,000,000, its target capital structure is 60% debt and 40% equity, and its forecasted net income is $300,000. If the company follows a residual dividend policy, what total dividends, if any, will it pay out? Select the correct answer.
Answer:
The multiple choices are
a. $240,000
b. $228,000
c. $216,600
d.$205,770
e. $0
The correct option is E,$0
Explanation:
The funding required from equity is 40% of the projected capital budget of $2000,000 which is expected to be from the profit attributable to stockholders since new issue of shares is not contemplated.
In other words, dividends payable to shareholders is the net income less their counter funding of the project which is computed below:
residual dividends=net income-(equity%*capital outlay)
residual dividends=$300,000-(40%*$2000,000)
=$300,000-$800,000=$0
In essence the $300,000 is not even enough as funds expected from equity less alone paying excess as dividend
Cinnamon Buns Co. (CBC) started 2018 with $52,600 of merchandise on hand. During 2018, $297,000 in merchandise was purchased on account with credit terms of 3/10 n/30. All discounts were taken. Purchases were all made f.o.b. shipping point. CBC paid freight charges of $9,400. Merchandise with an invoice amount of $2,100 was returned for credit. Cost of goods sold for the year was $309,000. CBC uses a perpetual inventory system. Assuming CBC uses the gross method to record purchases, ending inventory would be:
Answer:
$39,053
Explanation:
The computation of the ending inventory is shown below:
Beginning inventory $52,600
Add: Inventory purchased $297,000
Add: Freight in $9,400
Less: Merchandise returned -$2,100
Less: Discounts -$8,847 ($297,000 - $2,100) × 3%
Less: Cost of goods sold -$309,000
Ending inventory $39,053
Hence, the ending inventory using the gross method is $39,053

Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for dear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence. Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow
Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xdite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.
Answer: 1. A, C
2. "Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments."
Explanation:
1. The Direct Approach is also known as a Deductive Approach. This is because when using the Direct Approach, the writer or speaker begins with the main point of the article and then gives supporting evidence and explanations as they go further along.
Paragraph A uses the Direct approach because the writer began by talking about the main point of the sealing of the deal with Editionplus. It then speaks on how it will increase their profits and how they even met with some of their product designers.
Paragraph C also uses the Direct Approach as it speaks to the effectiveness of the leadership first and then gives evidence of why they are effective by stating that they worked hard for it and that they have increased profits, office space and strengthened infrastructure.
2. Supporting sentences are made with the purpose of supporting the main point. They expound on the point and give it meaning by showing evidence of the original point.
Option C would be the correct answer because it gave evidence of the main point in Paragraph C. The Main Point noted how the leadership in San Francisco has been phenomenal for the past decade. Option C then speaks on how they have done so by stating that they had worked their way up and contributed to the success of the company by having increased profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened IT infrastructure.
I have attached the full question to this answer.
Trade-Off Theory. Smoke and Mirrors currently has EBIT of $25,000 and is all-equity- financed. EBIT is expected to stay at this level indefinitely. The firm pays corporate taxes equal to 35% of taxable income. The discount rate for the firm’s projects is 10%.(LO3)
a. What is the market value of the firm?
b. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm (debt plus equity)?
c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?
Answer:
a. What is the market value of the firm?
$162,500b. Now assume the firm issues $50,000 of debt paying interest of 6% per year, using the proceeds to retire equity. The debt is expected to be permanent. What will happen to the total value of the firm (debt plus equity)?
$200,123c. Recompute your answer to (b) under the following assumptions: The debt issue raises the probability of bankruptcy. The firm has a 30% chance of going bankrupt after 3 years. If it does go bankrupt, it will incur bankruptcy costs of $200,000. The discount rate is 10%. Should the firm issue the debt?
The firm should not issue the debt because the risk of bankruptcy eliminates any possible gains obtained from issuing debt. It actually decreases the value of equity.Explanation:
the firm's current value = [EBIT x (1 - tax rate)] / WACC = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 10% = $162,500
firm's new WACC = ($112,500/$162,500 x 10%) + ($50,000/$162,500 x 6% x 0.65) = 6.92% + 1.2% = 8.12%
the firm's new value = [$25,000 x 0.65] / 8.12% = $200,123
expected cost of bankruptcy = (30% x $200,000) / 1.1³ = $45,079
firm's total value is still $200,123, but the stockholders' equity has been reduced from ($200,123 - $50,000 = $150,123) to $150,123 - $45,079 = $105,044
the gain from issuing debt will be eliminated due to the risk of bankruptcy, before equity had risen from $112,500 to $150,123, but now it decreases to $105,044.
The market value of the firm will be $162500.
Based on the information given, the market value will be calculated thus:
= [EBIT × (1 - Tax rate(] / WACC
= [25000 × (1 - 0.35)] / 10%
= [25000 × 0.65] / 0.10 = $162500
Since the firm's new WACC is 8.12%, then the new value of the firm will be:
= (25000 × 0.65) / 8.12%
= 200,123
Therefore, the total value of the firm is $200,123.
In conclusion, the firm should not issue the debt due to the fact that the risk of bankruptcy will eliminate the gains gotten from the issuance.

Answer:
d. beginning and ending capital and all the changes in the owner's capital as a result of net income (loss), and withdrawals
Explanation:
The statement of owner's equity is a financial report that is prepared to indicate the changes in the owner's capital as a result of withdrawals, contributions, and net income or net loss. The structure of this report is beginning capital plus contributions plus net income less withdrawals which is equal to the ending capital. According to this, the answer is that the statement of owner's equity shows beginning and ending capital and all the changes in the owner's capital as a result of net income (loss), and withdrawals.
Determine whether each of the following goods is a private good, a public good, a common resource, or a club good.
1. A free weight station in a fitness room that is open to the public
2. A large, beautiful fountain in a town square
3. A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band
Answer:
1. A free weight station in a fitness room that is open to the public (common resource)
2. A large, beautiful fountain in a town square (public goods)
3. A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band (private good)
Explanation:
Before we look into the different types of goods, let us define the terms associated with goods:
Rival: A good is said to be rival, if its consumption by one consumer prevents simultaneous consumption by another consumer.
Excludable: An excludable good is one for which access is not provided by the owner or seller, to a consumer who has not paid for it or who has not met certain requirements for its use.
Now let us define the different types of goods:
a. Private goods: these goods are excludable and rival. This means that the owners can prevent certain individuals from using them and their use prevents simultaneous use by other consumers. These goods are usually limited in quantity. in our example, A new drum set for you to play in your friend's band meets these requirements. other examples include food, clothes et.
b. public good: these goods are non-excludable and non-rival. These goods can be used simultaneously by many individuals and restrictions to use are virtually absent on them. A large, beautiful fountain in a town square meets these criteria. other examples include air, street lights etc.
c. common resource: These products are non-excludable (restriction to use is absent) and rival (use by an individual can prevent simultaneous use by others). if an individual is using A free weight station in a fitness room that is open to the public, other individuals will have to wait for their turn, even if they do not pay for it.
d. club good: these goods or services are excludable (paid for before use) but non rival (multiple consumers can use them simultaneously). Examples include cable television, internet services, cinemas etc.
The poverty rate would be substantially lower if the market value of in-kind transfers were added to family income. The largest in-kind transfer is Medicaid, the government health program for the poor. Suppose the program costs $10,000 per recipient family. True or False: If the government gave each recipient family a $10,000 check instead of enrolling them in the Medicaid program, most of these families likely would spend that amount of money on health insurance. True False True or False: This result suggests that we should value in-kind transfers at the price the government pays for them in determining the poverty rate. True False Because the benefit of Medicaid to its recipients is likely than its cost, it to give the poor cash transfers instead.
Answer: False; False; True.
Explanation:
a. False.
If the government gave every recipient family a $10,000 check rather than enrolling them in the Medicaid program, majority of the families would not spend the money on health insurance. The money will rather be spent on foods that the customer hasn't reached a satiation point in e.g foods, housing etc.
b. False.
We should determine poverty rate by valuing the in-kind transfers at the price which the family would have paid for the same amount of the good not taking into consideration of how the family spend the cash transfer.
c. True.
The poor would be better off in situations where they receive cash transfer rather than in-kind transfer. They could spend the cash on things apart from medical care. The poor value other things more than the health insurance and would be better off with the cash.
Consider the market for mobile applications, smartphones, and conventional phones. For each pair, identify whether they are complements or substitutes:
Pairs of Goods and Services Complements Substitutes
Mobile applications and smartphones
Mobile applications and conventional phones
Smartphones and conventional phones
Answer:
Mobile Applications and Smart Phones are Complements
Smart Phones and Conventional Phones are Substitutes
Mobile Applications and Conventional Phones are substitutes.
Explanation:
Complement goods are goods that can be used or consumed together. E.g. car and gas. A car would not work without gas. A rise in price of a good leads to a fall in demand of the complement good.
Subsituite goods rival one another in consumption. They can be used in place of another good.
A rise in price of a good leads to a rise in demand of the other good.
