Answer:
The total amount of units were transferred-out during the period iv 18,400 units
Explanation:
Beginning Work-in-Process = 5,200 incomplete units
Units received from previous department = 15,400 units
Ending Work-in-Process = 2,200 units
Units were transferred-out during the period = beginning Work-in-Process Inventory + units were received - ending Work-in-Process Inventory
Units were transferred-out during the period = 5,200 + 15,400 - 2,200
= 18,400 units

Some traits of successful individuals in our industry, as mentioned by Aimee Mangold of KOLTER Hospitality included: drive, intelligence, self-confidence, the desire to influence others, relevant knowledge, and honesty/moral character. Unfortunately, these same traits do not apply to other fields outside of the hospitality and tourism industry to any great extent.
O True
O False
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that those characteristics in individuals in that industry make it more successful does not mean that the industry mentioned is the only one with those characteristics in the individuals. Actually, it is quite understandable to find individuals with those abilities that make an industry to be better than other, that is the case of the technology industry where most of the workers must have those skills in order to achieve the goals that they look for. So that is why that it is false that those traits do not apply to other fields.
Mobility Partners makes wheelchairs and other assistive devices. For years it has made the rear wheel assembly for its wheelchairs. A local bicycle manufacturing firm, Trailblazers, Inc., offered to sell these rear wheel assemblies to Mobility. If Mobility makes the assembly, its cost per rear wheel assembly is as follows (based on annual production of 2,000 units):
Direct materials $ 25
Direct labor 53
Variable overhead 16
Fixed overhead 47
Total $ 141
Trailblazers offered to sell the assembly to Mobility for $110 each. The total order would amount to 2,000 rear wheel assemblies per year, which Mobility's management will buy instead of make if Mobility can save at least $10,000 per year. Accepting Trailblazers's offer would eliminate annual fixed overhead of $40,000.
Required:
(a) Prepare a schedule that shows the differential costs on the 2,000 rear wheel assemblies order. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Input all amounts as positive values. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
(b) Should Mobility make rear wheel assemblies or buy them from Trailblazers?
Answer:
Net savings from buying $ 8,000
Decision : The company should assemble
Explanation:
Unit variable cost of making = 25+ 53+ 16+ 47 = $94
$
Total variable cost ( $94 × 2,000) = 188,000
Total cost of external purchase ($110× 2000) 220,000
Extra variable cost from external purchase (32,000 )
add Savings in fixed overheads 40,000
Net savings from buying 8,000
Note that the fixed cost were not included because they not relevant for the decision. They would be incurred either way.
Decision.
Since the management wishes tom save at least $10,000 per year but the analysis above shows that the company can only save $8,000, then Mobility should not buy the product but rather assemble them
1. Answer the below question based upon the following information on Fitbit: Fitbit Year0 Year1 RRF 2% Initial Investment -$5,000,000 RM 9% Units of Sales 150,000 Investment Banking Fee or Floating Rate 7% Price per Unit $400 Existing Fitbit Shares 2,000,000 Variable Cost per Unit $250 New IPO Shares 36,500,000 Fixed Cost $1,000,000 Pre-IPO Value $91,100,000 Depreciation $1,500,000 Tax Rate 35% What is the price per share for the Fitbit IPO?
Answer:
$8.53
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Total sales
= 150,000 × $400
= $60,000,000
Variable = $37,500,000
Fixed cost = $1,000,000
Depreciation = $1,500,000
Tax rate = 35% = 0.35
Net Income = (Sales - Variable - Fixed cost - Depreciation) (1 -Tax rate)
= ( $60,000,000 - $37,500,000 - $1,000,000 - $1,500,000)(1 -0.35)
= $13,000,000
Price per share
= Net income ÷ Existing Fit-bit shares
= $13,000,000 ÷ 2,000,000
= $6.5
Total IPO value = Pre-IPO value + Post-IPO value
= [$91,100,000 + (6.5 × 36,500,000)] ÷ ( 2,000,000 + 36,500,000)
= $8.53
We simply applied the above formula
Ikerd Company applies manufacturing overhead to jobs on the basis of machine hours used. Overhead costs are estimated to total $300,000 for the year, and machine usage is estimated at 125,000 hours.
For the year, $322,000 of overhead costs are incurred and 130,000 hours are used.
Required:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year.B) What is the amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st?C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
Answer:
A. $2.40 per Machine hour
B. Underapplied = $10,000
C. cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000 , overheads (credit) $10,000
Explanation:
A) Compute the manufacturing overhead rate for the year
Overhead Rate = Total Fixed Overheads / Budgeted Activity
= $300,000 / 125,000 Machine hours
= $2.40 per Machine hour.
B) What is the amount of under- or over applied overhead at December 31st?
Under Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads > Applied Overheads
Over Applied Overheads = Actual Overheads < Applied Overheads
Actual Overheads = $322,000
Applied Overheads = $2.40 × 130,000 hours = $ 312,000
Underapplied = $10,000
C) Prepare the adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold.
cost of goods sold (debit) $10,000
overheads (credit) $10,000
Answer:
A. The manufacturing overhead rate for the year is $2.40
B. The amount of under- or overapplied overhead at December 31st is $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000
Explanation:
A. To calculate the manufacturing overhead rate for the year we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead rate=Estimated overhead cost/Estimated machine hours usage
manufacturing overhead rate=$300,000/125,000
manufacturing overhead rate=$2.40
B. To Calculate the amount of under applied or over applied overhead cost we would have to use the following formula:
manufacturing overhead cost applied=Total machine hours used*manufacturing overhead rate
manufacturing overhead cost applied=130,000*$2.40
manufacturing overhead cost applied=$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost=Actual manufactured overhead costs-Manufacturing overhead cost applied
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $322,000-$312,000
under- or overapplied overhead cost= $10,000
C. The adjusting entry to assign the under- or overapplied overhead for the year to cost of goods sold would be as follows:
Debit Credit
cost of goods sold $10,000
Manufacturing overhead 10,000

Today is time t. Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of 100 dollars, which means both bonds are expected to pay $100 at Maturity (time T). Bond A is liquid and is often traded by average institutional investors at zero transaction costs. Bond B is illiquid. Its total direct and indirect trading cost is $5 per trade (either buy or sell). Suppose an average-sized institutional trader who wants to own the two bonds will trade three times in either bond (i.e., first buy it at t, then sell it and buy it back again at some time between t and T). Interest rate for discounting future bond price is zero for both bonds. In other words, everyone in this market is not risk averse. What should be the average trader’s evaluation of the bond A and B price today?
A. 100,90
B. 100,100
C. 100,95
D. 100,85
Answer:
The correct answer is (D) 100,85
Explanation:
Solution:
Two zero coupon bonds both have a face value of = $100
Bond A is liquid and traded by average institutional investors at = 0 transaction costs
Bond B is liquid, with a trading cost of =$5
Now,
As the interest rate for discounting future price is zero, then the Bind price is represented as follows:
Bond price = face value - trading cost
Bond A price = 100 - 3*0 = 100
Bond B price = 100 - 3*5 = 85
Therefore, the average trader's evaluation of the bond A and bond B price today is = 100,85
At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 14,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 64,000 units and transferred 68,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 10,000 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials, and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted-average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.
Answer:
total equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = 76,500 unitsconversion = 74,000 unitsExplanation:
beginning inventory 14,000 units
40% complete to materials = 5,600 equivalent units20% complete to conversion = 2,800 equivalent unitsduring the month 64,000 were started
68,000 units were transferred out
ending inventory 10,000 units
85% complete to materials = 8,500 equivalent units60% complete to conversion = 6,000 equivalent unitstotal equivalent units using weighted average method:
materials = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 8,500 = 76,500 unitsconversion = units completed and transferred out + ending inventory = 68,000 + 6,000 = 74,000 unitsLucy and Fred want to begin saving for their baby's college education. They estimate that they will need $120,000 in eighteen years. If they are able to earn 5% per annum (compounded annually), how much must be deposited at the end of each of the next eighteen years to fund the education? (The future value of a single sum for 18 periods at 5% is 2.40662; The future value of an ordinary annuity of 1 for 18 periods at 5% is 28.13238).
Answer:
$4,265.55
Explanation:
Future value = $120,000
Interest rate (i) = 5%
Annual deposit = ?
Time period (n) = 18 year
Since deposit are to be made at the beginning of each year, hence the relevant factor table to be used is future value annuity due factor table.
Future value = Annual deposit x future value annuity due factor (i%, n)
120,000 = Annual deposit x FVADF (5%, 18period)
120,000 = Annual deposit x 28.13238
Annual deposit = 120,000/28.13238
=$4,265.547
=$4,265.55
Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process, that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period, at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period, at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450, and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials, if the average cost method is used to cost inventories was:____________.a. 15,650b. 18,000c. 17,250
d. 17,700
Answer:
Total equivalent units= 17,250 units
Explanation:
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required to a complete a set of work is done in the period under consideration.So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion× units of inventory
Item units Equivalent unit
Completed 15,000 100%× 15,000 = 15,000
Closing inventory 3,000 75%× 3,000 = 2,250
Total equivalent units 17,250
Total equivalent units= 17,250 units

The number of parking tickets issued in a certain city on any given weekday has a Poisson distribution with parameter = 50.
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
(b) Calculate the approximate probability that the total number of tickets given out during a 5-day week is between 225 and 275.
(c) Use software to obtain the exact probabilities in (a) and (b) and compare to their approximations.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a) Calculate the approximate probability that between 35 and 70 tickets are given out on a particular day.
[tex]P(35\leq X\leq 70) =P(34.5\leq X \leq 70.5)[/tex] (using continuity correction)
[tex]=P(\frac{34.5- \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{X - \mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } \leq \frac{70.5-\mu}{\sqrt{\mu} } )\\\\=P(\frac{34.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \leq Z \leq\frac{70.5-50}{\sqrt{50} } \\\\=P(-2.19\leq Z \leq 2.90)\\\\=P(Z\leq 2.90)-P(Z\leq -2.19)[/tex]
= 0.9981 - 0.0143 (using standard normal tables)
= 0.9839
b) Consider [tex]X_t[/tex] is the random variable that represents the number of parking tickets issued in certain city in a 5-day week
The mean number of parking ticket issued in a particular city on 5-day week is
[tex]\mu_t = \mu *t\\\\=5 \times 50 = 250[/tex]
Therefore, the required probability is
[tex]P(225\leq X_t \leq 275)=(224.5\leq X_t\leq 275.5)\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{X_t-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } \leq \frac{275.5-\mu_t}{\sqrt{\mu_t} } )\\\\=P(\frac{224.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \leq Z \leq \frac{275.5-250}{\sqrt{250} } \\\\=P(-1.61\leq Z\leq 1.61)\\\\=P(Z\leq 1.61)-P(Z\leq -1.61)[/tex]
= 0.9463 - 0.0537 (using standard normal tables)

Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.
Answer:
1. Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.
direct materials 60,000 unitsconversion 70,000 units2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.
direct materials per unit $2.33conversion cost per unit $3.61Explanation:
beginning WIP 20,000 units:
direct materials 100% = 20,000 equivalent units $80,000
conversion 20% = 4,000 equivalent units $24,000
total $104,000
Units completed and transferred 60,000
Ending WIP = 20,000:
direct materials 100%
conversion costs 70% = 14,000 equivalent units
costs charged:
Direct materials $140,000
Direct labor $105,000
Overhead applied 148,000
equivalent units:
direct materials 60,000 since all materials are added at the beginning
conversion = units started + ending WIP - beginning WIP = 60,000 + 14,000 - 4,000 = 70,000 units
direct materials per unit = total direct materials / equivalent units = $140,000 / 60,000 = $2.33
conversion costs per unit = total conversion costs / equivalent units = $253,000 / 70,000 = $3.61

Journal entries are the first records made in the books of accounts to capture transactions. They have a note explaining the details of each transaction.
has gathered the following data on a proposed investment project (Ignore income taxes.): Investment required in equipment $ 36,500 Annual cash inflows $ 8,600 Salvage value of equipment $ 0 Life of the investment 15 years Required rate of return 10 % The company uses straight-line depreciation on all equipment. Assume cash flows occur uniformly throughout a year except for the initial investment. The simple rate of return for the investment (rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent) is:
Answer:
16.89%
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of simple rate of return for the investment is provided below:-
we need to first find out the accounting profit and depreciation
where
Accounting Profit = Annual Cash Inflow - Depreciation
and
Depreciation = Investment required in equipment ÷ Life of investment
= $36,500 ÷ 15
= $2,433.33
now we will put the value by using the accounting profit formula.
= $8,600 - $2,433.33
= $6,166.67
So,
Simple Rate of Return = Accounting Profit ÷ Initial Investment
= $6,166.67 ÷ $36,500
= 16.89%
Crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because 34) A) factors that affect industry competitiveness are the same from country to country. B) different government policies and economic conditions make the business climate more favorable in some countries than in others. C) the potential for location-based advantages to conducting value chain activities in certain countries. D) buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning. customizing versus standardizing their products and services. E) currency exchange rates among countries are generally fixed and rarely change.
Answer:
Options A, B, C, and E.
(Please check the explanation section before you judge or pick your answer)
Explanation:
The options A, B, C, and E are the options that are considered complex if we want to Craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets.
Please take note that if the question asked us to pick which of the options is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets then we would have picked Option D.
As given in the question, that is option D which says; '' buyer tastes and preferences creates challenges in standardizing products and services." Will not be a reason for crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets is inherently complex.
Countries due to globalization tends to participate in international trades. Competition in the international trade has its advantages as well as its disadvantages or risks.
To trade in the international market, countries must have their individual strategies and Option D above is NOT a inherently complex reason when crafting a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: buyer tastes and preferences differ among countries and present a challenge for companies concerning customizing versus standardizing their products and services.
Explanation:
To begin with, the fact that a company is looking forward to expand its business to other countries needs to be very carefully planned because every business would be manage in different ways in differents areas and that is due to the differences in those countries, in their cultures and social believes as well. That is why, that to craft a strategy to compete in one or more foreign markets can be considered complex because of the different preferences and tastes that buyers in those places will have and due to that the company will need to adjust to that type of customer and therefore to customize their product in order to achieve sale's goals.
When determining the best way to motivate employees, why shouldn't managers rely solely on HR staff for directions. (check all that apply)
You want to invest in a riskless project in Sweden. The project has an initial cost of SKr3.86 million and is expected to produce cash inflows of SKr1.76 million a year for three years. The project will be worthless after three years. The expected inflation rate in Sweden is 3.2 percent while it is 2.8 percent in the U.S. A risk-free security is paying 4.1 percent in the U.S. The current spot rate is $1 = SKr7.7274.
Required:
1. What is the net present value of this project in Swedish krona if the International Fisher effect applies?
O SKr1,087,561
O SKr958,029
O SKr701,458
O SKr823,333
O SKr978,177
Answer:
SKr978,177
Explanation:
Note: Find attached the attached excel file for the full calculation of the net present value of this project in Swedish krona.
Applying International Fisher effect, the risk-free rate of return in Sweden is calculated as follows:
USRF = Risk-free rate of return in the US = 4.1%, or 0.041
USEI = Expected inflation in the US = 2.8%, or 0.028
SWRF = Risk-free rate of return in Sweden = ?
SWEI = Expected inflation in Sweden = 3.2%, or 0.032
Applying International Fisher effect, we have:
USRF - USEI = SWRF - SWEI
Substituting for the values, we have:
0.041 - 0.028 = SWRF - 0.032
0.013 = SWRF - 0.032
SWRF = 0.045
The SWRF of 0.045 as the discount rate to calculate the discounting factor in the attached excel file.
The Gamer Company is a video game production company that specializes in educational video games for kids. The company’s R&D department is always looking for great ideas for new games. On average, the R&D department generates about 25 new ideas a week. To go from idea to approved product, the idea must pass through the following stages: paper screening (a 1-page document describing the idea and giving a rough sketch of the design), prototype development, testing, and a focus group. At the end of each stage, successful ideas enter the next stage. All other ideas are dropped. The following chart depicts this process, and the probability of succeeding at each stage.
The paper screening for each idea takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time. After that, there is a stage of designing and producing a prototype. A designer spends 4 hours designing the game in a computer-aided-design (CAD) package. The actual creation of the mock-up is outsourced to one of many suppliers with essentially limitless capacity. It takes 4 days to get the prototype programmed, and multiple prototypes can be created simultaneously. A staff member of the testing team needs 2 days to test an idea. Running the focus group takes 2 hours of a staff member’s time per idea, and only one game is tested in each focus group. Finally, the management team meets for 3 hours per idea to decide if the game should go into production.Available working hours for each staff member are 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. The current staffing plan is as follows:A. Paper screening: 3 staff members.B. Design and Production: 4 staff members.C. Testing: 6 staff members.D. Focus Group: 1 staff member.E. Final Decision: 1 management teama. How many new ideas would Gamer Co. approve for production per week if it had unlimited capacity (staff) in its R&D process?b.Which stage is the bottleneck according to the current staffing plan?A. Design and productionB. Focus groupC. TestingD. Paper screeningE. Final decisionc. With the current staffing plan, how many new ideas will be put into production per week?
Answer:
Therefore 13.3 ideas per week
Explanation:
We can use the following method to do the calculations
And we are given
The average number of ideas per week =25
Ideas approved per week = 25×0.6×0.5×0.35×0.75
= 1.968 ideas
b)
The maximum time that will be taking stage is Testing therefore it is the bottleneck base on current staffing plan.
c)
Capacity per hour = number of staff ÷ number of hour
We have capacity per week = Capacity per hour ×5× 8
Demand is lowest of all capacity
= 13.3
Paper screening
Capacity= 3/2=1.5 idea/ hour
= 60 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.22
Design & production
Capacity= 4/4=1 idea/ hour
= 40 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.33
Testing
Capacity= 6/16=0.38 idea/ hour
= 15 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=0.88
Focus group
Capacity= 1/2=0.5 idea/ hour
= 20 idea per week
Demand =20
Utilization=0.66
Final decision
Capacity= 1/3=0.33 idea/ hour
= 13.3 idea per week
Demand =13.3
Utilization=1
Thus 13.3 ideas per week as our answer
cost allocationClipper Company sells two types of nail clippers. One focuses on the economy oriented customer and the other aims to satisfy the high-end clientele. The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9. The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15. Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880. Economy clippers constitute 70 percent of the market with the remaining 30 percent being high-end clippers. Based on this information what is the total number of clippers that must be sold to earn a $12,420 profit
Answer:
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The economy clipper costs $5 and has a sales price of $9.
The high-end model costs $9 and sales for $15.
Fixed costs associated with this product line amount to $35,880.
Sales participation:
Economy clippers= 0.70
High-end= 0.30
Desired profit= $12,420
To calculate the number of clippers to be sold for the company, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (units)= (Total fixed costs + desired profit) / Weighted average contribution margin ratio
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (weighted average selling price - weighted average unitary variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= (0.7*9 + 0.3*15) - (0.7*5 + 0.3*9)
Weighted average contribution margin ratio= $4.6
Break-even point (units)= (35,880 + 12,420) / 4.6
Break-even point (units)= 10,500 clippers
Answer:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units
Explanation:
The units to be sold to achieve target profit is determined as follows:
Units to be sold to achieve target profit
= (Fixed cost + Target Profit)/Average contribution per unit
Economy High-end
Contribution per unit = 9-5=$4 15-9 = $6
Average contribution per unit= ($4× 70%) + (30%×$6) = $4.6
Units to be sold to earn a profit of $12,420
= Fixed cost + Target Profit/Average contribution per unit
= (35,880 + 12,420)/4.6
= 10,500 units
Units to be sold to achieve target profit = 10,500 units
Ellie has been working for an engineering firm and earning an annual salary of $80,000. She decides to open her own engineering business. Her annual expenses will include $15,000 for office rent, $3,000 for equipment rental, $1,000 for supplies, $1,200 for utilities, and a $35,000 salary for a secretary/bookkeeper. Ellie will cover her start-up expenses by cashing in a $20,000 certificate of deposit on which she was earning annual interest of $500.
Ellie's annual implicit costs will equala. $55,200.b. $75,200.c. $80,500.d. $165,700.
Answer:
c. $80,500
Explanation:
The computation of the implicit cost is shown below:
Implicit cost = Annual salary earned + annual interest earned on certificate of deposit
= $80,000 + $500
= $80,500
We simply added the annual salary earned and annual interest earned i.e income that is foregone so that the implicit cost could arrive

You have a team of four employees. Liam, the financial analyst, is from Ireland, and he knows everything there is to know about protecting and growing donations. Destiny, the events planner, is from Charleston, South Carolina, and she is a genius at handling all the details of a fundraiser. Andry is from Madagascar, and he writes all of the content for your fundraising letters and website. Finally, Marjorie is from Berkeley, California, and she prepares profiles of potential donors and makes suggestions about what types of fundraising events might appeal to them.
Although all of your employees are very good at what they do, the group has had some problems in the past. Andry and Marjorie have decided that they will write no more than one discrete piece of work per day, even if they are capable of writing more. If Andry writes more than one part of a website, Marjorie torments him by sending him a stream of instant messages questioning his mental abilities. Destiny and Marjorie tend to disagree about what kinds of events will appeal to donors, and they have had some heated arguments in the past. Marjorie usually wins these fights, which is making Destiny very resentful. Liam has told you that the group needs a strong leader who will make sure that the organization's goals are met.
After reading about the history of management in your textbook, you find yourself particularly fascinated by the human relations approach to management.
The theories seem so modern, but could they really be used in today's world? You decide to put them to the test.
Liam's idea that a strong leader could pull the group together is very similar to Chester Barnard's concept of _________ in organizations.
Finally, you consider how to start solving the problems in the organization. What would Mary Parker Follett recommend you do in this situation? Check all that apply:
a) Try to understand why Andry and Marjorie feel that one piece of writing per day is an acceptable work output. Be a role model in establishing new productivity norms, but recognize that your actions may not have much of an impact on them.
b) Get Destiny and Marjorie into one room. Have them present their visions of what a fundraising event should be, and then brainstorm with them to find ways to achieve both of their goals.
c) Remember that you must have power with, not over, your team. So when you ask Andry and Marjorie to write more, be sure to give them facts and information they need to understand the reason for your request.
d) Be sure that your orders are understood and that your employees have the ability to carry them out. Match your directions with the overall strategy of the organization; at the same time, help people achieve their personal goals.
Answer: 1. Acceptance Theory to Authority
2. All of the Above.
Explanation:
1. Acceptance Theory to Authority
According to Chester Barnard's concept of Acceptance Theory of Authority, people respond more to in an Organisation to a strong leader whose authority they accept. The main premise here is that the leader's authority has to be accepted and people only usually respect strong leaders. A weaker leader will not be able to bring the team together because the employees will not listen to them as much as they should because they have not accepted their authority.
2. According to Mary Parker Follett, all the above options are correct for initiation in this scenario.
Mary Parker Follett came up Principles of Coordination to help companies better themselves. Some of the principles she came up with cover the options.
A. This has to do with the Reciprocal Relationship Principle of Coordination. Mary Follet argued that there must be a reciprocal relationship at work because people work together. This means that should you start to work harder, it will influence Andry and Majorie to work harder as well.
B. Falls under the Principle of Direct Contact.
According to this principle, Heads of Department should meet and discuss their problems since they are closer to the situation on the ground. Destiny and Majorie should therefore meet and discuss a way forward.
C. Falls under the Early Stages section of Coordination.
Here Mary Follett believed that managers should not unilaterally come up with strategy but rather consult the members of their team and talk to them so that they understand why something must be done.
D. Also falls under the Early Stages section.
Mary also believed that as well as consulting your team to come up with strategy, that strategy needs to be aligned to the goals of the organizations. By discussing with employees before a strategy is implemented, you make sure that they understand it as well and they will then know if or not they are able to perform and voice any objections they may have.
Cream and Crimson Foods has a target capital structure of calling for 45.00 percent debt, 4.00 percent preferred stock, and 51.00 percent common equity (retained earnings plus common stock). Its before-tax cost of debt is 12.00 percent. The tax rate is 40.00%. Its cost of preferred stock is 10.41%. Its cost of common equity is 12.38%. Find the WACC for Cream and Crimson Foods
Answer:
9.9702%
Explanation:
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
= 12* (1-0.4) =7.2%
WACC=Respective cost*Respective weight
=(7.2×0.45)+(10.41×0.04)+(12.38×0.51)
=9.9702%
Answer:
9.9578%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Cream and Crimson foods target a structure capital of calling =5.00%
Stock preferred = 4%
Common equity = 51.00%
Before tax-cost = 12.00%
Rate of tax= 40.00%
preferred stock cost = 10.41%
Now,
After-tax cost of debt=12*(1-tax rate)
=12*(1-0.4)=7.2%
Thus,
The WACC=Respective costs*Respective weight
=(0.45*7.2)+(0.04*10.1)+(0.51*12.38)
=9.9578%
Therefore, the WACC for Cream and Crimson Food is 9.9578%
Wozniacki and Wilcox form Jewel LLC, with each receiving a one-half interest in the capital and profits of the LLC. Wozniacki receives his one-half interest as compensation for tax planning services he rendered prior to the formation of the LLC. Wilcox contributes $50,000 cash. The value of a one-half capital interest in the LLC (for each of the parties) is $50,000.
How much income does Wozniacki recognize as a result of this transaction, and what is the character of the income?
Answer:
Recognize the $50,000 as a compensation income received.
Explanation:
The reason is that the Compensation of $50,000 that Wozniacki received for the services that he previously used to render which means this whole amount received must be recognized as income.
