I think the correct answer would be demographic segmentation. It is a type of market segmentation where the consumers are classified according to race, religion, family, gender and/or income. It is a way to help an organization target specific consumers.

c. the cost of corporate advertising aired during the Super Bowl.
Explanation:
Financial statements show the financial position of a business for a given period, and the income statement compares revenue and expenses to get profitability of a business at a particular time.
Higado Confectionery Corporation has a number of store locations throughout North America. Since there is segmented income statement per store items like store manager salaries, store building depreciation expense and cost of goods sold at each store will appear in individual statements.
However when there is a corporate advertisement at the Superbowl all of the stores jointly benefit, so there will be a representation of this cost on all their income statements.

The accounting cost and the economic cost associated with Joe's computer software business is $75,00 and the $165,000 respectively.
Explanation:
The computation of the accounting cost and the economic cost is shown below:
Accounting cost = Other Expenses + Salary paid to himself
= $35000 + $40,000
= $75,000
Economic cost = Accounting cost + Salary expense + Rent expenses
= $75,000 + $65,000 + $25,000
= $165,000
Explanation:
Goodwill in accounting is an intangible asset that arises when a buyer acquires an existing business. Goodwill represents assets that are not separately identifiable. Goodwill does not include identifiable assets that are capable of being separated or divided from the entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either individually or together with a related contract, identifiable asset, or liability regardless of whether the entity intends to do so. Goodwill also does not include contractual or other legal rights regardless of whether those are transferable or separable from the entity or other rights and obligations. Goodwill is also only acquired through an acquisition; it cannot be self-created. Examples of identifiable assets that are goodwill include a company’s brand name, customer relationships, artistic intangible assets, and any patents or proprietary technology. The goodwill amounts to the excess of the "purchase consideration" (the money paid to purchase the asset or business) over the net value of the assets minus liabilities. It is classified as an intangible asset on the balance sheet, since it can neither be seen nor touched. Under US GAAP and IFRS, goodwill is never amortized, because it is considered to have an indefinite useful life. Instead, management is responsible for valuing goodwill every year and to determine if an impairment is required. If the fair market value goes below historical cost (what goodwill was purchased for), an impairment must be recorded to bring it down to its fair market value. However, an increase in the fair market value would not be accounted for in the financial statements. Private companies in the United States, however, may elect to amortize goodwill over a period of ten years or less under an accounting alternative from the Private Company Council of the FASB.
