In what situations is top-down planning likely to be superior to bottom-up emergent strategy development
Answer is given below :
Explanation:
Both strategies aim to convey and process knowledge between and within the organization. The top-down approach for sub-categories to gain insights at the senior management level breaks down a system. This is a great tool to help managers identify areas of improvement using quota and monthly matrix goals. There are flaws in this strategy, employees are not involved in the process and managers do not understand the full impact of the changes made. Morality can be affected because this strategy is motivated by fear and encouragement. The bottom line is that in some cases it is more complex, although employees feel motivated to provide more authority and quality work. The information is processed to a minimum and communicated to management. This may help in some areas because administrators may not fully understand the process. I should use the military as an example for a top down strategy. It works on the battlefield when there is no time to discuss or motivate employees. Top down is used when there is a slight change in environmental factors.BrambleFurniture Company started construction of a combination office and warehouse building for its own use at an estimated cost of $8,000,000 on January 1, 2020. Bramble expected to complete the building by December 31, 2020. Bramble has the following debt obligations outstanding during the construction period. Construction loan-12% interest, payable semiannually, issued December 31, 2019 $3,200,000 Short-term loan-10% interest, payable monthly, and principal payable at maturity on May 30, 2021 2,240,000 Long-term loan-11% interest, payable on January 1 of each year. Principal payable on January 1, 2024 1,600,000 (a) Assume that Bramble completed the office and warehouse building on December 31, 2020, as planned at a total cost of $8,320,000, and the weighted-average amount of accumulated expenditures was $5,760,000. Compute the avoidable interest on this project
Answer:
$650,752
Explanation:
The computation of the avoidable interest is shown below;
But before that following calculations must be done
Interest payable on short term loan
= $2,240,000 × 10%
= $224,000
Interest payable on long term loan
= $1,600,000 × 11%
= $176,000
Therefore,
Weighted average interest rate is
= ($224,000 + $176,000) ÷ ($2,240,000 + $1,600,000) × 100
= 10.42%
Now
Avoidable interest is
= [$3,200,000 × 12%] + [($5,760,000 - $3,200,000) × 10.42%]
= $650,752
g A socially responsible marketing philosophy would discourage consumers from voicing their complaints because socially responsible sellers have no obligation to listen to such complaints. True False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
A socially responsible marketing philosophy would encourage customers to voice their complaints because this helps them get feedback on their services and improve their products. Socially responsible sellers owe it to their consumers to listen to their complaints.

Julie Martin is investing $26,600 in the Invesco Charter mutual fund. The fund charges a 4.50 percent commission when shares are purchased. Calculate the amount of commission Julie must pay.
Answer:
$1,264.50
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount of commission Julie must pay.
Using this formula
Commission=Investment amount× Fund charges percentage
Let plug in the formula
Commission= $28,100 × 0.045
Commission= $1,264.50
Therefore the amount of commission Julie must pay is $1,264.50
Answer:
$1197.00
Explanation:
In order to find the answer you must take the total investment and multiply it by the commission percentage. Add a zero in front of the 4.50 to get .0450 as the number you multiply against the total investment. It looks like the following:
Total investment ($26,600) x percentage (.0450) = $1197.00
The GDP price index is multiple choice 3 computed for each industry sector. a measure of the price of a specified collection of goods and services compared to the price of a highly similar collection of goods and services in a reference year. a measure of the price of a specified collection of goods and services compared to the average of the prices of a highly similar collection of goods and services for the last 10 years. a measure of nominal GDP adjusted for inflation. d. Which of the following statements is true
Answer:
a measure of the price of a specified collection of goods and services compared to the price of a highly similar collection of goods and services in a reference year.
Explanation:
The changes should be measured that made in the goods and services involved in GDP. The GDP price index would be treated as an indicator for inflation that has been determined by comparing the current GDP to the GDP made in the reference year
So it would be measured the particular collection of the goods & services that should be compared with that of the reference year
hence, first option is correct

Jarmon Company owns twenty-three percent (23%) of the voting common stock of Kaleski Corp. Jarmon does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operations of Kaleski. What method should Jarmon use to account for its investment in Kaleski
Answer: Cost method
Explanation:
The method that Jarmon should use to account for its investment in Kaleski is the cost method.
Since it's a cost method, Kaleski should record the investment in stocks at cost, that is the price that was paid for the stock. In this case, most stocks from the other investors are purchased through the brokers.
. In the year 1985, a house was valued at $110,000. By the year 2005, the value had appreciated to $145,000. What was the annual growth rate between 1985 and 2005
Answer:
the annual growth rate between 1985 and 2005 is 1.38%
Explanation:
The computation of the annual growth rate between 1985 and 2005 is shown below:
Future value = Present value × e^(rate × time period)
$145,000 = $110,000 × e^(rate, 20)
$145,000 ÷ $110,000 = e^(rate, 20)
e^(rate, 20) = 1.318
Now take the log in both the sides
In(e^(rate, 20)) = ln(1.318)
r = ln(1.318) ÷ 20
= 1.38%
Hence, the annual growth rate between 1985 and 2005 is 1.38%
What's the future value of $1,300 after 5 years if the appropriate interest rate is 6%, compounded monthly
Answer:
the Future value is $1,753.51
Explanation:
The computation of the future value is shown below;
Future value = Principal × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
where,
Intersest rate per month = 6% ÷12 = 0.5%
And, the number of months is = 5 × 12 = 60
So,
= $1,300 × (1 + 0.005)^60
= $1,300 × (1.005)^60
= $1,300 × (1.3489)
= $1,753.51
Hence, the Future value is $1,753.51

1. What is the incremental manufacturing cost incurred if the company increases production from 29,750 to 29,751 units
Answer:
$17.90
Explanation:
The below is missing from the question:
Kubin Company’s relevant range of production is 28,000 to 31,500 units. When it produces and sells 29,750 units, its average costs per unit are as follows:
Amount per Unit
Direct materials $8.80
Direct labor $5.80
Variable manufacturing overhead $3.30
Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 6.80
Fixed selling expense $ 5.30
Fixed administrative expense $ 4.30
Sales commissions $ 2.80
Variable administrative expense $ 2.30
In order to determine the incremental manufacturing cost by increasing the volume of production from 29,750 to 29,751 units, we simply compute the extra variable cost of producing one extra unit since 29,751 units are still within the relevant range of output, no extra fixed costs would be incurred.
extra cost per unit=direct materials+direct labor+Variable manufacturing overhead
Sales commissions and Variable administrative expense are not included because they are not manufacturing costs
extra cost per unit= $8.80 +$5.80 +$3.30 =$17.90
. Suppose disposable income increases more in South Africa than it does in the United States. What is the short-run impact of this change in disposable income on U.S. net exports, the value of the U.S. dollar, and the value of the South African rand
Answer: A. Increase / Appreciate / Depreciate
Explanation:
If disposable income increases more in South Africa than it does in the U.S., assuming the U.S. is a trading partner to SA, they will export more goods to SA because South Africans will demand more goods and services as they can afford to.
This will lead to a higher demand for the U.S. dollar which is the price that the U.S. goods will be denominated in and a higher demand for the dollar will make it appreciate.
The South Africa rand will depreciate because there is less demand for it relative to the U.S. dollar.
Answer:
Increase / Appreciate / Depreciate

The largest national herbal supplement store is running a sale on its excess supply of Vitamin C supplements. With this new price change what do you think will happen to the Vitamin C supplement market
Answer:
There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.
Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
There will be a shift if the demand curve as demand increases.
There will be a decrease in the quantity demanded.
There will be an increase only in the quantity demanded.
A sale reduces the price of a good. All things been equal, a price reduction increases the quantity demanded of a product. This is in line with the law of demand.
According to the law of demand, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
An increase in demand leads to a downward movement along the demand curve and not a shift of the demand curve.

A large nuclear power plant has a rated capacity of 1 GW electric. Its actual output is estimated to average about 80% of capacity due to the need for maintenance and imperfect match between supply and demand. Assuming that year-round average residential electricity needs are about 1 kW electric per housing unit and there are three residents per unit, estimate how many power plants would be needed to satisfy the demand of a metropolitan area with a population of 30 million.
Answer:
you need 13 nuclear plants to satisfy the needs of the entire population.
Explanation:
On average, 3 people live in each house. Since the population is 30 million, then the total number of houses should be 10 million. According to your estimate, 10 million house will require 10 million KW or 10 GW.
Each nuclear plant is able to produce 0.8 GW, so you need 10 / 0.8 = 12.5 ≈ 13 nuclear plants to satisfy the needs of the entire population.

Ping-Aye Tropical Fruits Company must choose between two transportation options: a contractual arrangement with a local carrier that costs $4,500 upfront plus $250 for each shipment, or leasing its own refrigerated trucks which will cost $20,000 plus $45 for each shipment. What is the indifference point
Answer:
The indifference point is 68 shipments.
Explanation:
First, we need to establish the total cost formula:
Local carrier:
Total cost= 4,500 + 250*x
Leasing:
Total cost= 20,000 + 20*x
x= number of shipments
Now, we equal both formulas and isolate x:
4,500 + 250x = 20,000 + 20x
230x = 15,500
x= 67.39 = 68
The indifference point is 68 shipments.
