Pfizer's spending of $7.6 billion in 2006 on research and development of new drugs is a capital budgeting decision but not a financing decision.

This is capital budgeting because the company has decided to introduce a new methodology or drug to maximise its profits.

Financing capital is the one which provides the running expenses or improves  the current processes of the business. It does not involve new ventures or experimentation.

Real assets can be intangible assets.

Real assets like skilled employees can be intangible assets.

Intangible assets are those assets  which cannot be physically seen or used but make up the substantial part of the asset  value of business. For example  a brand name , franchise agreements, patents etc. Skilled employees are also intangible assets.

Real assets are all those assets which have some economic value e.g . machinery , building etc.

Maximizing profits is the same as maximizing the value of the firm.

The difference between value maximization and profit maximization is mainly a concern of publicly traded companies. It is possible for a company to focus on more short-term measures of success such as quarterly profits. It is also possible to focus on more long-term measures, such as the amount of equity versus debt. To do the first is to focus on profit maximization. To do the second is to focus on value maximization.

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
