Answer is given below
Explanation:
The comparison is an indication to determine if the treatment is the same. Mentioned may be another person or a group of people similar to them. The Reference Canal may be a person with a previous job or anyone has guesses as to what the result/input ratio will be. Employees are treated equally when they feel that their result / input ratio is equal to the output or input ratio mentioned. Equity is related to the fairness of the results relative to the inputs. Managers help treat employees equally by ensuring that those who provide multiple inputs are rewarded with more results than those who provide less input. If a person changes one aspect of his ratio, the manager must ensure that the other side of the ratio also changes. As the input increases, so does the outcomhold. If the input decreases, the results also decrease. Equity is present when an individual's own result / input ratio is less than the forecast. This happens when an employee compares him or her to a reference and does not want to achieve the results he or his investment has achieved. Equity can be restored by trying to increase growth (by inputs, bonuses or allocating time) or by removing inputs (being late or falling short, doing less work) and turning it into a more accurate indication. If these methods fail, a planned company will choose to departBaker's product manager continues to perform well in the market. However, a competing product is coming on strong and is looking to take over as the market share leader in the segment. Without sacrificing contribution margin, what can the Baker product manager do in order to improve upon the buying criteria, and thus potentially increase demand
Question options :
Increase MTBF by 2000
Reposition Cake to make it even smaller and higher performing
Increase the promotion budget to gain greater awareness
Lower the selling price since it is the second most important buying criteria
Answer:
Increase the promotion budget to gain greater awareness
Explanation:
In this case, some managers might consider reducing price and may be affecting contribution margin in this way(because selling price/profit is reduced and price- variable cost =contribution margin). While price reduction might be a good strategy to compete in the market, it might not be the best option here. in order to increase demand in a case such as this, the manager should consider increasing product awareness so as to reach more potential buyers and increase market share compared to competitors.
Improvements in labor productivity: A. affect the level of wages, but do not affect the rate of economic growth. B. affect the level of profit, but do not affect the rate of economic growth. C. contribute to economic growth. D. hinder economic growth, because they cause unemployment.
Answer:
C. contribute to economic growth
Explanation:
Economic growth is an increase in the the production of goods and services produced in an economy.
Improvements in labor productivity increases the output of labour and as a result contributes to economic growth.
The ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units . How many units must be produced in February?
Answer: 15,751.5 units
Explanation:
Units produced in February are calculated as;
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
Ending finished goods inventory for each month equals 50% of next month's sales in units.
Ending finished goods for February
= 50% * 15,581
= 7,790.5 units
Ending finished goods for January is beginning for February
= 50% * 15,922
= 7,961
Units Produced = Ending Finished goods - Beginning Finished goods + Budgeted Sales
= 7,790.5 - 7,961 + 15,922
= 15,751.5 units
If I currently sell 10,000 units, and my use of Formula 1 indicates that I will need to sell 500 additional units to justify my suggested change to the marketing mix, what percentage of sales does that represent
Answer:
It represents a 5% change to the marketing mix.
Explanation:
The change = 500/10,000 x 100 = 5%.
Company A's change in a variable can be compared with another index, by expressing the change (addition) as a percentage of the index. For instance, the sale of 10,000 units is an index. The additional 500 units that is needed to be sold represent the change. In percentage terms, the change can be divided by the index and then multiplied by 100.

Answer:
B. The combined costs of converting raw materials to finished goods.
Explanation:
Conversion Costs are the combined costs of converting raw materials to finished goods.
These include the costs of direct labor and manufacturing overheads such as water and electricity.
A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio
Answer:
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%
Explanation:
The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,
ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity
or
ROE = Net Income / Total equity
Assuming that sales is $100.
Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1
Total Assets = 100 / 1.84
Total Assets = 54.35
0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity
Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162
Total Equity = 31.48
We know that Assets = Debt + Equity
So,
54.35 = Debt + 31.48
Debt = 54.35 - 31.48
Debt = 22.87
Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

5. Aggregate Demand
6. Long-Run Aggregate Supply
7. Outward
8. inward
9. buy
10. sell
11. increase
12. decrease
Answer:
In the United States, Monetary Policy is implemented by the - 4. Federal Reserve
The Federal Reserve of the United States is in charge of implementing the Monetary Policy of the country. It is also in charge of regulating the financial industry, and acting as lender of the last result to prevent financial crisis.
3. Expansionary MonetaryPolicy - can be used to address a Recessionary Gap
During times of economic downturn, monetary policy tends to be expansionary: expanding the money supply to lower the interest rate, so that investment becomes cheaper, and the economy reactivates.
1. Contractionary Monetary Policy - can be used to address an Inflationary Gap.
When the money supply is too high, or has grown too fast, inflation often starts. For this reason, the fed usually implements contractionary monetary policy (less money supply, higher interest rate), in order to keep inflation from increasing.
c. To enact Contractionary Monetary Policy, the central bank will - sell bonds
When the fed sell bonds, it takes money from the market, reducing the money supply.
This - reduces - the amount of cash in the economy.
As explained above.
This will cause bond prices to - fall - and interest rates to - rise
The change in interest rates causes investment and consumption to - fall
shifting - Aggregate Demand
Contractionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to rise, making investment more expensive, and causing price hikes, this will reduce consumption.
This in turn will shift the Aggregate Demand curve to the left or inward.

What element of the tourism and recreation industry has increased tenfold over the last fifteen years, bringing increased revenue to cities in the Coastal South such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa
Answer: A. The Cruise Ship Industry
Explanation:
The Cruise Ship Industry has been until recently (due to the Pandemic) one of the fastest growing elements of Tourism and Recreation in the United States having increased tenfold over the last 15 years.
Indeed in 2018, it was estimated that the industry added over $52 billion to the US economy as well as employing over 400,000 people.
This massive growth has benefitted port cities from which these Cruises take off and return to such as Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa immensely.
Suppose the real risk-free rate is 3.50%,the average future inflation rate is 2.50%, a maturity premium of 0.20% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.20%(t), where t is the years to maturity. Suppose also that a liquidity premium of 0.50% and a default risk premium of 0.80% applies to A-rated corporate bonds.
Required:
What is the difference in the yields on a 5-year A-rated corporate bond and on a 10-year Treasury bond?
Answer:
the 5 year A-rated corporate bond yields 0.3% more than the 10-year Treasury bond
Explanation:
the yield of a 10 year treasury bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + (20% x 10 years) = 8%
the yield of a 5 year A-rated corporate bond = real risk free rate + average future inflation rate + liquidity premium + default risk premium + (maturity premium x number of years) = 3.5% + 2.5% + 0.5% + 0.8% + (20% x 5 years) = 8.3%
difference in yields = 8.3% - 8% = 0.3%

Acme Company’s production budget for August is 17,600 units and includes the following component unit costs: direct materials, $7.70; direct labor, $10.10; variable overhead, $6.20. Budgeted fixed overhead is $33,000. Actual production in August was 18,810 units. Actual unit component costs incurred during August include direct materials, $8.50; direct labor, $9.10; variable overhead, $6.90. Actual fixed overhead was $34,600. The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound. During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.
Required:
Calculate the materials price variance and materials usage variance for August.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Actual production in August was 18,810 units.
During August, 319,770 pounds of raw material were used that were purchased at $0.50 per pound.
The standard direct material cost per unit consists of 11 pounds of raw material at $0.7 per pound.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (0.7 - 0.5)*319,770
Direct material price variance= $63,954 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Standard quantity= 18,810*11= 206,910
Direct material quantity variance= (206,910 - 319,770)*0.7
Direct material quantity variance= $79,002 unfavorable

if average demand for invenrory item is 200 units per day lead time is three days and safety stock is 1-- units the reorder point is
please do you mean 1 unit for safety stock or 100 units, will solve for both
Answer:when safety stock =1, Reorder point= 601 units
when safety stock =100, Reorder point= 700 units
Explanation:
Reorder Point (ROP), also called reorder level, is the point of inventoryset by a busness in which it replenishes its stock of items.
given:
Average demand= 200
lead time = 3
when safety stock =1
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +1 = 601 units
when safety stock = 100
Reorder point= (Average demand X Delivery lead time ) + Safety stock
= (200 x 3 ) +100 = 700 units

You notice that Coca-Cola has a stock price of $41.86 and EPS of $1.88. Its competitor PepsiCo has EPS of $3.65. But, Jones Soda, a small batch Seattle-based soda producer has a P/E ratio of 34.2. Based on this information, what is one estimate of the value of a share of PepsiCo stock?
Answer:
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82
Explanation:
Stock price of Coca-cola = $41.86
EPS = $1.88
P/E ratio = MPS / EPS
P/E ratio = $41.86 / 1.88
P/E ratio = 22.27
Jones soda P/E ratio = 34.2
Pepsi Co stock EPS = $3.65
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = EPS * P/E ratio
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $3.65 * 22.27
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $81.2855
Value of share of Pepsi Co. stock = $82
Zapper has beginning equity of $293,000, net income of $69,000, dividends of $58,000 and stockholder investments of $24,000. Its ending equity is:
Answer:
$328,000
Explanation:
As we all know that:
Ending Equity = Opening Equity + Share Issues + Net Income – Net Loss – Dividends Paid
Here,
Opening Equity is $293,000
Money raised through Shares Issuance was $24,000
Net Income would be $69,000
Dividends paid were $58,000
There were no losses as their is Profit for the year (Net Income).
By putting values, we have:
Ending Equity = $293,000 + $24,000 + $69,000 - $58,000
= $328,000
Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?
Answer: 19,900 hours
Explanation:
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
Applied Manufacturing Overhead
When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.
To find the Applied overhead therefore;
= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount
= 110,410 - 12,900
= $97,510
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
= 97,510/4.9
= 19,900 hours
1. What are Red Bull's greatest strengths and risks as more companies (like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster) enter the energy drink category and gain market share? 2. Should Red Bull do more traditional advertising? Why or why not? Discuss the effectiveness of Red Bull's sponsorships, for example, Bull Stratos. Is this a good use of Red Bull' marketing budget? Where should the company draw the line?
Answer:
Strengths
RedBull is a well-established brand in the Energy Drink sub-sector.It has been in existence since 1987 making it a 33-year-old company. That's a lot of experience doing the same thing. Given its years of experience, consumers have a lot of confidence in its brand. This means it has strong brand equity.As of 2019, RedBull still has the highest market share of any energy drink in the world with a record 7.5 billion cans soldRisks
The challenge is this, Coca-cola is a much older company with about 128 years behind it. It was established in 1892.Coca-cola equally has a very strong brand equityIn the carbonated drinks sub-sector, it has dominated the sector since 2004. It's market share is estimated at 42.5%.It has about 500 brands compared to Redbull which has only one brand.In Pepsi was created in 1893. Just one year younger than Coca-cola. It currently has about 24.9% of the soda market. Within the cola segment alone, it has about 100 flavours.Monster energy as a strong entrant into the energy drink market is only 18 years old and it already has 49 different drinks with about 14% market share worldwide.Suffice it to say that if Red Bull does not concieve of a critical strategy to maintain market dominance, it may continue to bleed it's market share.
2. Red Bull should do more than traditional advertising.
There is no reason why it can go into the Soda space. There are countries where the big players still exert a huge dominance. Mexico, for instance, consumes the more coca-cola than anywhere else in the world.
Red Bull in addition to keeping it's market share through aggressive advertising, can enter into the soda market, targeting these regions where coca-cola and other players seem to have a pseudo monopoly.
Red Bull can also look at creating more flavours depending on the psychographics of the target market it is looking at.
Bull Stratos
Red Bull Stratos is the official name for the project involving Mr Baumgartner's mission. Mr Baumgartner's project involved a record breaking jump for the ages from the edge of space which cost about USD 30 million. It is on record that this is nothing like what Red Bull have ever done before and it did so at a fraction of it's annual sports marketing which is estimated at about USD 300 Million.
To answer the question about its effectiveness, its definitely yes.
Over 8 million people saw the jump which had the Red Bull logo/ branding conspicuously displayed. It was dubbed "the most successful Public Relations campaign of year 2012."
The line will always be dictated by the metrics which show returns on marketing budget invested.
Any strategy that currently works to enhance the brand of Red Bull or at least keep its dominance over the energy drink market, must be explored.
Cheers!
On January 1, 2017 , Northeast USA Transportation Company purchased a used aircraft at a cost of $ 53,200,000. Northeast USA expects the plane to remain useful for five years (6,500,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $ 5,200,000. Northeast USA expects to fly the plane 900,000 miles the first year, 1,400,000 miles each year during the second, third, and fourth years, and 1,400,000 miles the last year.
1. Compute Northeast USA's depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the straight-line method, theunits-of-production method, and the double-declining balance method.
a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $:________
b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $:________
c. Double-declining balance method
Using the double-declining-balance method, depreciation is $_______ for 2017 and $ for 2018 for 2017 and $ for 2018. for 2017 and for 2017 and $________ for 2018.
Answer:
1. Compute Northeast USA's depreciation for the first two years on the plane using the straight-line method, theunits-of-production method, and the double-declining balance method.
a. Straight-line method Using the straight-line method, depreciation is $9,600,000
straight line depreciation = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 5 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 1 = $9,600,000
depreciation expense year 2 = $9,600,000
b. Units-of-production method (Round the depreciation per unit of output to two decimal places to compute your final answers.) Using the units-of-production method, depreciation is $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense per unit of production = ($53,200,000 - $5,200,000) / 6,500,000 = $7.384615 per mile
depreciation expense year 1 = $7.384615 x 900,000 = $6,646,153.50
depreciation expense year 2 = $7.384615 x 1,400,000 = $10,338,461
c. Double-declining balance method
depreciation expense year 1 = 2 x 1/5 x $53,200,000 = $21,280,000
depreciation expense year 2 = 2 x 1/5 x $31,920,000 = $12,768,000
The principle that each World Trade Organization member must accord to all other member countries tariff treatment no less favorable than it provides to any other country is known as the __________ principle.
Answer:
Most favoured nation principle
Explanation:
Most favoured nation (MFN) clause of the World Trade Organisation requires that when a nation trades with others the concessions, immunities, and privileges granted to one nation should be the the same granted to all WTO members.
It discourages discrimination where one nation in international trade is favoured above another.
For example if Ghana reduces tariff on trades with South Africa it is expected that tariffs to other WTO nations will also be reduced to 3%.
Exceptions to this principle are for developing nations, regional free trade areas, and custom unions.
Booker Corporation had the following comparative current assets and current liabilities: Dec. 31, 2019 Dec. 31, 2018 Current assets Cash $60,000 $30,000 Short-term investments 40,000 10,000 Accounts receivable 55,000 95,000 Inventory 110,000 90,000 Prepaid expenses 35,000 20,000 Total current assets $300,000 $245,000 Current liabilities Accounts payable $140,000 $110,000 Salaries payable 40,000 30,000 Income tax payable 20,000 15,000 Total current liabilities $200,000 $155,000 During 2019, credit sales and cost of goods sold were $750,000 and $400,000, respectively. Compute the following liquidity measures for 2019:
Answer:
1. 1.5 Times
2.$100,000
3.0.775 Times
4.$75,000
5.$100,000
Explanation:
Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas
1.Current Ratio
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES
CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000
CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times
2. Working Capital
WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES
WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000
WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000
3. Acid ratio
ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES
ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000
ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times
4. Receivable turnover
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times
Working
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000
5. Inventory Turnover
INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY
INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000
INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times
Working
