Answer:
Bev's total explicit costs are $1000
Bev's total implicit costs are $25,300
Bev's accounting profits exceed her economic profits by $25,300
Bev's economic profit is $3,700.
Explanation:
Accounting profit is total revenue less total explicit cost.
Explicit cost is actual cost incurred.
Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit cost
Total explicit cost = $1,000
Total revenue = $30,000
Accounting profit = $30,000 - 1,000 = $29,000
Economic profit is accounting profit less implicit cost or opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.
Implicit cost = $300 + $25,000 = $25,300
Economic profit = $29,000 - $25,300 = $3,700

The Nelson Company has $1,750,000 in current assets and $700,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $490,000, and it will raise funds as additional notes payable and use them to increase inventory. How much can Nelson's short-term debt (notes payable) increase without pushing its current ratio below 1.9? Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ What will be the firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
(a) Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
(b) The firm's quick ratio after Nelson has raised the maximum amount of short-term funds is 1.34
Explanation:
Current assets = $1,750,000
Current liabilities = $700,000
Initial inventory level = $490,000
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $1,750,000 ÷ $700,000 = 2.5
1.9 = (Current assets + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ (Current liabilities + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) ÷ ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
1.9 × ($700,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]) = ($1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex])
$1,330,000 + [tex]1.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 + [tex]\Delta{NP[/tex]
[tex]0.9\Delta{NP[/tex] = $1,750,000 - $1,330,000
[tex]\Delta{NP[/tex] = $466,666.67
Short-term debt can increase by a maximum of $466,666.67 without pushing its current ratio below 1.9
Quick ratio = (Current assets - Inventories) ÷ Current liabilities
= $937,500 ÷ $700,000
= 1.34

2. It has been mentioned that Starbucks encourages its customers to use its mobile app. What type of information might the company gather from the app to help it better plan operations
Answer:
There are several things and strategies that the company can do from gathering different types of information in the app. Some examples are explained below.
Explanation:
To begin with, the company can extract personal information about the clients like the age and area of residence and those factors can help the organization's operations plan in many ways, like for example in knowing better which is the area where the most of the clients live or which is the average age of all the clients so in that case they will know which is their target audience and how to create marketing messages to stimulate them to go to the store or to buy more products, etc.
Another example could be the likes of the customers, by knowing which is the product that they order the most then the company can implement an strategy to try to sale the other products and so on with other variables.
At the Millbrook High School cafeteria, students proceed along a series of stations in a single line: (1) get tray and utensils, (2) choose food, (3) select beverage, (4) pay. The school is concerned that students are taking too long to get their meal. The school has analyzed the capacities of each of the four steps in isolation and found there exists sufficient capacity at each resource in isolation. Which of the following is most likely to be causing the congestion?a. The bottleneck is probably at the last station because capacity is reduced the most when the bottleneck is at the end of the process. b. The implied utilization of the bottleneck is too low. c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring. d. The process must be demand-constrained. e. The stations have similar utilizations.
Answer:
c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring.
Explanation:
The problem here is that students take a long time to get their meal. It is understood that at each of the four stations there is ample space and so the most likely cause of delays is different processing times at four stations.
The problem of either blocking or starving arises when the processing times are very small or very large at one or two of the stations, which will significantly increase the cycle time of the operation.
hence, the correct option is c.
Granger Company had January 1 inventory of $150,000 when it adopted dollar-value LIFO. During the year, purchases were $900,000 and sales were $1,500,000. December 31 inventory at year-end prices was $189,750, and the price index was 110. What is Granger Company’s gross profit?
Answer:
$624, 750
Explanation:
Purchases = 900,000
Sales = 1500000
Price index = 110%
Inventory= 189750
1,500,000 - [{($150,000 x 110%) + $900,000} - $189,750]
=1,500,000 - [($150,000 x 1.1) + $900,000] - $189,750
= 1,500,000 - (1065000 - 189750)
= 1,500,000 - 875250
=$624,750
Gross profit. = $624750

(Being the written off amount is recorded)
For recording this we debited the allowance for doubtful accounts as it reduced the allowance and credited the account receivable as it decreased the assets so that the proper recording of the given transaction could be done
Lucido Products markets two computer games: Claimjumper and Makeover. A contribution format income statement for a recent month for the two games appears below:
Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $106,000 $53,000 $159,000
Variable expenses 32,800 6,950 39,750
Contribution margin $73,200 $46,050 119,250
Fixed expenses 82,575
Net operating income $36,675
Requirement:
1: Compute the overall contribution margin (CM) ratio for the company.
2: Compute the overall break-even point for the company in sales dollars.
3: Verify the overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products.
Answer and Explanation:
1. The computation of overall contribution margin ratio is shown below:-
Overall contribution margin ratio = Total contribution ÷ Total sales
= $119,250 ÷ $159,000
= 75%
2. The computation of overall break-even point for the company in sales is shown below:-
Overall Break even = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin
= $82,575 ÷ 75%
= $110,100
3. The overall break-even point for the company by constructing a contribution format income statement showing the appropriate levels of sales for the two products is shown below:-
here, Sales at Break even in the ratio will be 2:1
Particulars Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $106,000 $53000 $159,000
($106,000 ÷ $159,000 × $110,100) ($53,000 ÷ $159,000 × $110,100)
Break even
sales $73,400 $36,700 $110,100
Particulars Claimjumper Makeover Total
Sales $73,400 $36,700 $110,100
Variable expense $22,712 $4,813 $27,525
Contribution margin $50,688 $31,887 $82,575
Fixed expense $82,575
Net operating income 0
Working Note
Variable expense for Claimjumper = Variable expenses ÷ Sales × Break even sales
= $32,800 ÷ $106,000 × $73,400
= $22,712
Variable expense for Makeover = Variable expenses ÷ Sales × Break even sales
= $6,950 ÷ $53,000 × $36,700
= $4,813
Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,800 of direct materials and used $3,300 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of the month, but needed an additional $2,300 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,100 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the balance in the Work in Process account at the end of September relative to Job A3B? Multiple Choice $7,400 $11,700 $4,100 $8,400
Answer:
$11,700
Explanation:
The computation of the balance in the work in process at the end of the month is shown below:
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost percentage of direct labor cost
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $3,300 × 200%
= $1,800 + $3,300 + $6,600
= $11,700
We simply added the direct material cost, direct labor cost and the manufacturing overhead cost so that the ending balance could arrive
Federal Semiconductors issued 11% bonds, dated January 1, with a face amount of $830 million on January 1, 2021. The bonds sold for $767,557,868 and mature on December 31, 2040 (20 years). For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 12%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines interest at the effective rate. Federal elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bonds was $750 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value of the bonds on December 31, 2022 had risen to $756 million.Required: Complete the below table to record the following journal entries. 1. & 2. Prepare the journal entry to adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet, and adjust the bonds to their fair value for presentation in the December 31, 2019, balance sheet. Federal determined that one-half of the increase in fair value was due to a decline in general interest rates.
Answer:
discount on bonds payable 18,383,020.48 debit
other comprehensive income 18,383,020.48 credit
--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2021 market value --
other comprehensive income 4.739.000 debit
discount on bonds payable 4.739.000 credit
--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2022 market value --
Explanation:
We solve for the book value at year-end using effective rate
First year:
First payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
767,557,868 x 6.0% = 46,053,472.08
Amortization 403,472.08
Second Payment
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
(767,557,868 + 403,472.08) x 6.0% = 46,077,680.4
Amortization 427680.4
Carrying value at year-end
767,557,868 + 403,472.08 + 427,680.40 = 768,389,020.48
We need to recognize a deferred gain for the difference between these and the 750,000,000 market value at December 31th
which is $ 18,383,020.48 as these as not been realized it will be part of other comprehensive income
We will increase the discount to adjust the bonds payable account net balance.
Second year:
We repeat the process
First Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
Interest expense 750,000,000 x 6% = 45,000,000
Amortization 650000
Carrying value 750,000,000 + 650,000 = 750,650,000
Second Payment:
830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000
750,650,000 x 6% = 45,039,000
Amortization 611000
Carrying Value 750,650,000 + 611,000 = 751,261,000
Wer now compare this with the 756,000,000
as now the debt of the company has increased we are going to decrease the discounttand recognize a deferred loss through other comprehensive income as it wasn't realized
756,000,000 - 751,261,000 = 4.739.000

The December 31, 2018, balance sheet of Whelan, Inc., showed $154,000 in the common stock account and $2,790,000 in the additional paid-in surplus account. The December 31, 2019, balance sheet showed $164,000 and $3,090,000 in the same two accounts, respectively. The company paid out $159,000 in cash dividends during 2019 14.28 points What was the cash flow to stockholders for the year? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign.
Answer:
Whelan, Inc.
The cash flow to stockholders for the year is $159,000, representing the cash dividends paid during 2019.
Explanation:
Cash flow to stockholders is the amount of cash that a company pays out to its shareholders, usually in the form of cash dividends. Mainly, cash flows to stockholders in two major ways: dividends and stock price increases when shares are sold. Dividends are cash flows to stockholders from the company. These are usually determined by the board of directors. Stock price increases are cash flows to stockholders from the stock exchange market. They are determined by the company's performance and the sentiments of the investors in an open market with reference to the company's financial performance and position.
compare and contrast the Reference Theory of meaning and the Idea Theory of meaning and explain how best each of them can be used to explain the term deadly virus .
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
The concept of " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " are very important in the aspect that concerns the use of language for expression and language semantics.
The SIMILARITIES BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning ";
=> They are both used in the Explanation of meaning that is to say in semantics.
=> They are both defined through "action''
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " :
(1). The term "Reference Theory of meaning" simply means that every word has a particular reference or label.
For instance now;
=> Ebola Virus is deadly.
=> Stomach ache is deadly.
The Ebola Virus is the label for the micro-organism, deadly denotes how the virus kills and the " Ebola Virus is deadly" denotes the sentence.
The first sentence "Ebola Virus is deadly" is right as this sentence makes reference to Ebola virus that is being used in the determination of how true a sentence is.
SUMMARY: ALL WORDS SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE AND THEY ARE USED IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS WRONG OR WHAT HAS VALUE.
The disadvantage is that it can not be used in the expression for that are abstract.
(2). Idea Theory of meaning simply refers to meaning BASED ON IDEAS and not what it actually means in REAL LIFE SCENARIO.
Its disadvantage is that mental images or ideas differ from one individual to the other.
The balance sheet of Hidden Valley Farms reports total assets of $810,000 and $945,000 at the beginning and end of the year, respectively. The return on assets for the year is 15%. What is Hidden Valley's net income for the year
Answer:
$131,625
Explanation:
The computation of the net income for the year is shown below:
As we know that
Return on assets = net income ÷ average assets
0.15 = net income ÷ ($810,000 + $945,000) ÷ 2
0.15 = net income ÷ $877,500
So, the net income is
= $877,500 × 0.15
= $131,625
hence, the net income for the year is $131,625
We simply applied the above formula
Insect control devices must and be able to retain the electrocuted insects inside the device
Answer:
Be rated for safety by the USDA
Explanation:
Presence of insect pest around areas of food production poses a lot of risk such as contamination of food which might impact negatively on public health. However, in an attempt to control these insect pests, the problem of food contamination as a result of insect infestation that we're trying to solve might still be increased if safety measures are not strictly adhered to when manufacturing and using insect control devices.
Hence, it is necessary and of utmost importance that insect control devices must be rated for safety by USDA to ensure compliance with laid down measures and protocols for safe control of insect without contamination of food.

a. Compute Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year.b. Compute Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year.c. Compute cost of goods sold for the year.d. Compute the income before income tax for Amazon.
Answer:
(a) Amazon's balance in cash at the beginning of the year is $1,085 million
(b) Amazon's total liabilities at the end of the year is $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold for the year is $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax for Amazon is $366 million
Explanation:
(a) Beginning cash balance = Ending cash balance - net increase in cash for the year
= $1,104 million - $19 million
= $1,085 million
(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity
$4,417 million = Total liabilities + $503 million
Total liabilities = ($4,417 - $503) million
= $3,914 million
(c) Cost of goods sold = net sales - gross profit
= $10,722 million - $2,458 million
= $8,264 million
(d) Income before income tax = Gross profit - operating expenses - other expenses
= $2,458 million - $2,062 million - $30 million
= $ 366 million
Indigo Company issues 11,300 shares of restricted stock to its CFO, Mary Tokar, on January 1, 2020. The stock has a fair value of $565,000 on this date. The service period related to this restricted stock is 5 years. Vesting occurs if Tokar stays with the company until December 31, 2024. The par value of the stock is $10. At December 31, 2020, the fair value of the stock is $396,000.
Required:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the restricted stock on January 1, 2014 (the date of grant), and December 31, 2015
b. On July 25, 2018, Tokar leaves the company. Prepare the journal entry to account for this forfeiture.
Answer:
a. Prepare the journal entries to record the restricted stock on January 1, 2014 (the date of grant), and December 31, 2015
January 1, 2014, restricted shares are issued (market price $50 per stock)
Dr Unearned compensation 565,000
Cr Common stock 113,000
Cr Additional paid in capital (stock options) 452,000
December 31, 2015, two years of vesting period have passed
Dr Stock based compensation expense 113,000
Cr Unearned compensation 113,000
b. On July 25, 2018, Tokar leaves the company. Prepare the journal entry to account for this forfeiture.
July 25, stock options are forfeited
Dr Unearned compensation 452,000
Cr Stock based compensation expense 452,000
Explanation:
total stock compensation 11,300
vesting period 5 years = 11,300 / 5 = 2,260 stocks
stock based compensation is recorded using the market price on the date of the grant (January 1, 2014) which = $565,000 / 11,300 = $50 per stock
nothing really happens to the company when the stock options are granted, because unearned compensation is a contra equity account that reduces any increase in equity resulting from the stock options.
January 1, 2014, restricted shares are issued (market price $50 per stock)
Dr Unearned compensation 565,000
Cr Common stock 113,000
Cr Additional paid in capital (stock options) 452,000
The company starts recording expenses as the vesting period is accrued.
December 31, 2014, one year of vesting period has passed
Dr Stock based compensation expense 113,000

Answer: No, he cannot recover for injuries that could be easily avoided
Explanation:
From the question, Roy was doing repair work in the apartment of Melinda and saw a deep crack in the floor but he did not repair it at the time. Later when he was doing ceiling work, his ladder got stuck in the crack and he got injured.
In this scenario, Roy cannot recover damages from Melinda. He saw the crack in the floor but did not do anything about it. The injury sustained was as a result of his negligence and he could have avoided it. Hence, he cannot recover for injuries that could be easily avoided.
City Foods, is a firm that is experiencing rapid growth. The firm just paid a dividend of $2.00 yesterday. They expect to see their dividend grow at a twenty percent rate for the next two years and then level out at a continuous six percent growth rate. City Food's required rate of return is twelve percent. What is the most you would pay for City Foods' common stock now
Answer:
The maximum that should be paid for the stock today is $45 per share.
Explanation:
To calculate the current share price or the maximum that should be paid for the stock today, we will use the dividend discount model approach.
The dividend discount model (DDM) estimates the value of a share/stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. We will use the two stage growth model of DDM here as the growth in dividends of the stock is divided into two stages.
The formula for current price under two stage growth model is,
P0 = D0 * (1+g1) / (1+r) + D0 * (1+g1)^2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + D0 * (1+g1)^n / (1+r)^n +
[( D0 * (1+g1)^n * (1+g2)) / (r - g2)] / (1+r)^n
Where,
g1 is initial growth rate
g2 is the constant growth rate
r is the required rate of return
So, the price of the stock today will be,
P0 = 2 * (1+0.20) / (1+0.12) + 2 * (1+0.20)^2 / (1+0.12)^2 +
[( 2 * (1+0.20)^2 * (1+0.06)) / (0.12 - 0.06)] / (1+0.12)^2
P0 = $45
Section 103 of the Federal Public Works Employment Act establishes the Minority Business Enterprise program and requires that, absent a waiver by the secretary of commerce, 10 percent of all federal grants given by the Economic Development Administration be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups: African Americans, Spanish speaking, Asian, Native American, Eskimo, and Aleut. White owners of business contend the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination. Discuss.
Explanation:
Looking from a fair point of view, the White owners of businesses have legitimate reasons to feel that the Act constitutes illegal reverse discrimination.
Remember, reverse discrimination implies an unfair treatment of the majority group (White owners) in an effort to please the minority group. This is evident from the fact that the 10 percent of all federal grants to be released by the Economic Development Administration was only to be used to purchase services or supplies from businesses owned and controlled by U.S. citizens belonging to one of six minority groups excluding the White business owners; making the White owners feel discriminated against.
Thus, unintentionally the Act became a reverse discrimination on White business owners.
Exercise 11-6 Net present value LO P3 A new operating system for an existing machine is expected to cost $520,000 and have a useful life of six years. The system yields an incremental after-tax income of $150,000 each year after deducting its straight-line depreciation. The predicted salvage value of the system is $10,000. A machine costs $380,000, has a $20,000 salvage value, is expected to last eight years, and will generate an after-tax income of $60,000 per year after straight-line depreciation. Assume the company requires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Compute the net present value of each potential investment. (PV of $1, FV of $1, PVA of $1, and FVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer:
NPV of investment 1: $509,131
NPV of investment 2: $269,513
Explanation:
initial investment -$520,000
6 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($520,000 - $10,000) / 6 = $85,000
free cash flow per year = $150,000 + $85,000 = $235,000
free cash flow last year = $235,00 + $10,000 = $245,000
NPV = -$520,000 + $235,000/1.1 + $235,000/1.1² + $235,000/1.1³ + $235,000/1.1⁴ + $235,000/1.1⁵ + $245,000/1.1⁶ = -$520,000 + $213,636 + $194,215 + $176,559 + $160,508 + $145,917 + $138,296 = $509,131
initial investment -$380,000
8 year useful life, depreciation per year = ($380,000 - $20,000) / 6 = $60,000
free cash flow per year = $60,000 + $60,000 = $120,000
free cash flow last year = $120,00 + $20,000 = $140,000
NPV = -$380,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ + $120,000/1.1⁴ + $120,000/1.1⁵ + $120,000/1.1⁶ + $120,000/1.1⁷ + $140,000/1.1⁸= -$380,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 + $81,962 + $74,501 + $67,737 + $61,579 + $65,311 = $269,513

b. What is the total required the production for the year under this revised budget?
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?
195.26 + 252.24 + 361.2 + 330.4 = 1,139.1 x $1,000 = $1,139,100
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?
No, since total budgeted sales for the year are 303,500 units, which divided by 4 quarters = 75,875 units per quarter. All you need to do is increase quarter 1 production by 15,000 units, and that would satisfy quarters 2 and 3 needs.

Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours? Greater Less rev: 09_14_2018_QC_CS-134332
Answer:
Explanation:
a.) What do you expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)
Expect the rate of return to be over the coming year on a 3-year zero-coupon bond = 6.1%
b) Under the expectations theory, what yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1- and 2-year zeros at the end of the year?(Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = (1+5.1%)^2/(1+4.1%) - 1 = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 1-year at the end of the year = 6.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = ((1+6.1%)^3/(1+4.1%))^(1/2) - 1
= 7.11%
Yields to maturity does the market expect to observe on 2-year at the end of the year = 7.11%
2b) Is the market's expectation of the return on the 3-year bond greater or less than yours?

The materials purchase price variance, in a standard cost system, is obtained by multiplying the: Group of answer choices a. Actual price by the difference between actual quantity purchased and standard quantity used. b. Actual quantity purchased by the difference between actual price and standard price. c. Standard price by the difference between standard quantity purchased and standard quantity used. d. Standard quantity purchased by the difference between actual price and standard price.
Answer:
b. Actual quantity purchased by the difference between actual price and standard price
Explanation:
The formula to compute the material purchase price is shown below:
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
It is derived by taking a difference between the standard price and the actual price and then multiplying it by the actual quantity so that the material price or material purchase price variance could come
Hence, the correct option is b.
b. Actual quantity purchased by the difference between actual price and standard price
When computing materials purchase price variance in standard costing system, we use the formula below ;
= Actual Quantity × (Standard Price - Actual Price)
Material purchase price variance is derived by subtracting standard price from actual price and then multiplying it by the actual quantity so that we would get the value.
Thus, the materials purchase price variance, in a standard cost system, is obtained by multiplying actual quantity purchased by the difference between actual price and standard price.

a.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
b.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
c.weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
d.rake and Adam will weed because these are the goods each has an absolute advantage in.
Answer:
The correct option is A, Samantha weed and Adam will rake because these are the goods each has a comparative advantage in.
Explanation:
The opportunity formula comes handy in this case, which is given below:
opportunity cost formula=what one sacrifices/what one gains
If Samantha were to weed flower beds, opportunity cost is computed thus:
Opportunity cost of Samantha weeding flower beds=8/4= 2 bags of leaves raked
The opportunity of Adam weeding flower beds=25/5 =5 bags of leaves raked.
In a nutshell ,if Samantha weeds flowers they would lose 2 bags of leaves raked while if Adam were to do so same, they would lose 5 bags of leaves raked, conclusively Samantha should weed flower beds since she has lower opportunity, higher comparative advantage
The Work in Process Inventory account of a manufacturing company has a $7,728 debit balance. The company applies overhead using direct labor cost. The cost sheet of the only job still in process shows direct material cost of $2,800 and direct labor cost of $1,600. Therefore, the company's predetermined overhead rate is:
Answer:
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the company's predetermined overhead rate we would have to calculate first the Overhead applied as follows:
o verhead applied=Work in process balance-Direct Material-Direct Labor
o verhead applied=$7,728-$2,800-$1,600
o verhead applied=$3,328
Therefore, Overhead application rate = $3,328/$1,600= 217%
Overhead application rate =208%
The company's predetermined overhead rate is 208%
Answer:
208%
Explanation:
Work In Progress= Direct materials + Direct labor+ Over Head
$7,728 = $2,800 + $1,600 + OH
$7,728=$4,400
$7,728-$4,400
OH=$3,328
OH rate = $3,328/$1,600
= 208%
What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an Orchestrator? Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Preston, Leidner, and Chen in 2008 discuss four CIO leadership profiles: Orchestrator, Advisor, Laggard, and Mechanic. What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an orchestrator?
Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
IT Advisor:
This is a high leadership making authority. In every team, there is division of labor and as an Advisor, one may be called upon to lead the time or give opinions on certain issues. Therefore, IT Advisor should learn how to convince people to accept his or her opinion. Gaining more trust will help in increasing the decision making of the person and more people will believe in his judgement.
IT Laggard:
This is a low leadership capability and a high decision making authority. Also, they need to get the much needed trust from their team members and also within the organization. It should be noted that they are capable and professional people. In order to enhance the more practical aspects of the integration, they should discuss more on the specific implementation methods to their teams and also convince the members and gain their trust.
IT Mechanic:
This is a low leadership capability and low decision making authority. I believe the most vital step for IT mechanic is for the person to strengthen their professional ability. When the person has the required professional capacity, then the person can lead the team to achieve its goal and also make better decision. This will make the IT Mechanics respected, increase his expertise and also gain team members trust.
I believe that apart from "leadership capability" and the "decision-making authority," a company can also use professional capabilities to classify CIOs. The possession of professional ability by the CIOs, can help them in making better decisions which will be of immense benefit to the company.
