4. Giving specific examples of global companies, discuss the following concepts which are contemporary issues of concern to Global Businesses: a) Corporate Social Responsibility b) Off-shoring c) Business Sustainability

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Corporate Social Responsibility

This is a type of international private business that is self-regulated which helps a company to become socially responsible, that is, giving back to the society through philanthropic activities which may include volunteer work or environmental activism.

b) Off-Shoring

Offshoring is simply taking advantage of difference in the cost of production or labor to relocate a business to another country in order to get cheaper labor for manufacturing operations.

Typically, it moves the production of materials from a country where such materials are expensive to another country where the materials are cheap in order to save costs.

c) Business Sustainability

This is simply taking care of all the major facets of a business in order to ensure that the success they have enjoyed in the past is sustained.

These facets could include management of social and economic demands to ensure optimal performance.

A business that is sustainable has a very little negative impact, rather it impacts its immediate environment positively.

If a company has the following data, is the budget variance favorable or unfavorable? Budgeted Sales $10,000 Actual Sales. $8,000

Answers

Answer:

$2,000 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the budget variance is shown below:

Budget variance is

= Budgeted sales - actual sales

where,

Budgeted sales is $10,000

And the actual sales is $8,000

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the budget variance is

= $10,000 - $8,000

= $2,000 unfavorable

Since the actual sales is less than the budgeted sales so the same is to be unfavorable else it is favorable

On July 31, the company’s Cash account has a $25,274 debit balance, but its July bank statement shows a $26,612 cash balance. 1. Prepare the bank reconciliation for this company as of July 31.

Answers

Answer:

A lot of information was missing, so I looked for a similar question but couldn't find one with the same exact numbers, but I believe the following question should be very similar and you can use it as an example:

a.On July 31, the company’s Cash account has a $24,756 debit balance, but its July bank statement shows a $26,449 cash balance.

b.Check No. 3031 for $1,270 and Check No. 3040 for $627 were outstanding on the June 30 bank reconciliation. Check No. 3040 is listed with the July canceled checks, but Check No. 3031 is not. Also, Check No. 3065 for $411 and Check No. 3069 for $2,038, both written in July, are not among the canceled checks on the July 31 statement.

c.In comparing the canceled checks on the bank statement with the entries in the accounting records, it is found that Check No. 3056 for July rent was correctly written and drawn for $1,240 but was erroneously entered in the accounting records as $1,230.

d.A credit memorandum enclosed with the July bank statement indicates the bank collected $9,000 cash on a non-interest-bearing note for Branch, deducted a $45 collection fee, and credited the remainder to its account. Branch had not recorded this event before receiving the statement.

e. A debit memorandum for $805 lists a $795 NSF check plus a $10 NSF charge. The check had been received from a customer, Evan Shaw. Branch has not yet recorded this check as NSF.

f.Enclosed with the July statement is a $14 debit memorandum for bank services. It has not yet been recorded because no previous notification had been received.

g.Branch’s July 31 daily cash receipts of $10,152 were placed in the bank’s night depository on that date but do not appear on the July 31 bank statement.

According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.40 direct labor-hours at a cost of $13.50 per hour. Required: 1. What is the standard labor-hours allowed (SH) to prepare 5,100 meals? 2. What is the standard labor cost allowed (SH × SR) to prepare 5,100 meals? 3. What is the labor spending variance? 4. What is the labor rate variance and the labor efficiency variance? (For requirements 3 and 4, indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values. Do no round intermediate calculations.)

Answers

Answer:

1. 2,040 Hours

2. $27,540

3. 460 U

4.Labor rate variance = 1,000 U , Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

Explanation:

1. Standard labor hour allowed = (5,100 * 0.40) = 2,040 Hours

2. Standard labor cost = (2,040 * $13.50) = $27,540

3. Labor spending variance = (Standard cost - actual cost)

Labor spending variance = (27,540 - 28,000)

Labor spending variance = 460 U

4. Labor rate variance = (Standard rate - Actual rate) * Actual hours

Labor rate variance = ($13.50 - $14) * 2000

Labor rate variance = 0.50 * 2,000 U

Labor rate variance = 1,000 U

Labor efficiency variance = (Standard hour - Actual hour) * Standard rate

Labor efficiency variance= (2,040 - 2,000) * $13.50

Labor efficiency variance = 40 * 13.50 F

Labor efficiency variance = 540 F

Getaway also paid $10,000 cash dividends on its common stock. Getaway had 40,000 common shares outstanding from January 1 until 10,000 new shares were sold for cash on July 1, 2021. A 2-for-1 stock split was granted on July 5, 2021. What is the 2021 basic earnings per share

Answers

Answer:Earnings per share fOR 2021= 0.53

Explanation:

Earnings per share =Total earnings available to shareholders(Net income - preferred dividends )/Weighted Average Outstanding  shares

Net income = $50,000

preferred dividend= $2,000

Total earnings available to common shareholders = $50,000 - $2000= $48,000

using a 2-1 stock spilt , outstanding shares= 40,000  x 2  + 10,000 x 6/12(jan- 1st july ) x 2 = 80,000 + 10,000 = $90,000

Earnings per share = $48,000/ $90,000 =0.53

Suppose taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston is known to be normally distributed and a sample of seven taxi fares produces a mean fare of $22.31 and a 95% confidence interval of [$20.5051, $24.2091]. Which of the following statements is a valid explanation of the confidence interval.
A) 95% of all taxi fares are between $20.51 and $24.21.
B) We are 95% confident that a randomly selected taxi fare will be between $20.51 and $24.21.
C) The mean amount of a taxi fare is $22.31, 95% of the time.
D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Answers

Answer: D) We are 95% confident that the average taxi fare between Logan Airport and downtown Boston will fall between $20.51 and $24.21.

Explanation:

The Confidence interval allows one to speculate between which values the average of a population will be. In a 95% confidence interval, this means that we are 95% certain that the average value of a variable will be between the higher and lower limits set by the interval.

The 95% confidence interval here has an upper limit of  $24.2091 and a lower limit of $20.5051 for taxi fares from Logan Airport to downtown Boston. This means that with a 95% certainty, the taxi charge from Logan Airport to downtown Boston will be between these 2 charges so you can expect to pay an amount between them.

Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 45 shares of common stock. The net income for 2015 was $600,000 and the income tax rate was 30%.

Diluted earnings per share for 2015 is:_____________ (rounded to the nearest penny)

Answers

Answer:

Gilley Co.

Diluted earnings per share for 2015 is:_____________ $1.68

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of common stock shares = 200,000

Number of convertible preferred = 40,000

Number of convertible bonds = 45,000 ($1,000,000/$1,000 x 45)

Total shares = 285,000

Earnings = $600,000

Income tax  (180,000)

Net Income $420,000

Plus preferred dividend = $60,000

Adjusted net income = $480,000

EPS = $480,000/285,000

= $1.68

b) After deducting income tax expense to arrive at the income after tax, then add the dividends of preferred stockholders before arriving at the adjusted net income for computing the earnings per share.

Which of the following promises is subject to the "strict performance" standard? Assume that performance of the promise is not an express condition of the promisee's duty to perform. cousrse hero

Answers

Answer:

A promise to deliver a deed

Explanation:

The term, 'strict performance' is used to describe a contract between two parties. A contract is an agreement between two parties, and it is legally binding. When discharging contracts involving services, 'substantial performance' is required. For example, if I tell a painter to paint my house blue except for the kitchen and storeroom which should be painted white, and he does accordingly but failed in painting the kitchen white, he has performed substantially even though there was a minor breach. The consequences of which would be borne by him.

'Strict performance' is required in contracts where the terms are stated in express terms and the standards are very high. A 'deed' is such a contract because it is a document specifying the legal rights of a person or the ownership of a property. It requires the signatures of the two parties. Therefore, strict performance and adherence to the contractual deed are required.

Green Thumb Garden Tools Inc. produces and sells home and garden tools and equipment. A lawnmower has a total cost of $230 per unit, of which $160 is product cost and $70 is selling and administrative expenses. In addition, the total cost of $230 is made up of $120 variable cost and $110 fixed cost. The desired profit is $58 per unit. Determine the markup percentage on product cost.

Answers

Answer:

80%

Explanation:

The computation of markup percentage on product cost is shown below:-

Markup percentage on product cost = ((Selling and administrative expenses + Desired profit) ÷ Product cost) × 100

= (($70 + $58) ÷ $160) × 100

= 0.8

or

= 80%

Therefore for computing the markup percentage on product cost we simply applied the above formula.

Answers

Answer:

$1,290,000

Explanation:

Goo:

Ordering and Receiving = 400 / 2,000 = 20%

Mixing = 20,000 / 50,000 = 40%

Testing = 500 / 1,500 = 33.33%

allocated overhead costs:

Ordering and Receiving = 20% x $1,200,000 = $240,000

Mixing = 40% x $1,500,000 = $600,000

Testing = 33.33% x $1,350,000 = $450,000

total allocated overhead costs = $1,290,000

The federal gas tax has been stuck at 18.4cents¢ a gallon since 1993.​ Today, Americans are driving fewer​ miles, and vehicles have become more​ fuel-efficient. Less gas consumption means less​ gas-tax revenue to repair the​ nation's roads. ​Source: Bloomberg News​, July​ 17, 2014 Would a tax per mile driven by more efficient or less efficient than a tax per gallon of​ gasoline? Which tax would be more​ regressive? Explain your answers.

Answers

Answer:

1. A Tax per mile driven would be more efficient than a tax per gallon of gasoline.

2. A tax per gallon of gasoline is more regressive.  The tax is based on a fixed dollar per gallon since 1993.  instead of being based on a percentage per the price of gasoline per gallon.  With the current rate, the price of gasoline per gallon may even be less than the tax.  One can then ask, "what is the purpose of the tax?"  Is the tax a road tax or a per gallon use tax?

Explanation:

When the federal gas tax remains at 18.4 cents per gallon for a very long period, the tax can be described as regressive as it does not take into consideration the trend that Americans are driving fewer miles, and vehicles have become more fuel-efficient.  This means that the gas tax is not fit for purpose.  If its purpose is to generate revenue for road repairs, then instead of a gallon tax, government should institute a road use tax.

Annabelle owns an Italian ice shop. If she decided to expand the size of her shop so that she could sell more Italian ices, how would she know if she is experiencing economies of scale in the long run

Answers

Answer:

her long-run average cost of selling each Italian ice decreases.

Explanation:

Economies of scale is when a firm produces more units of goods or services on a much larger scale, with very little input cost(average cost). Invariably, this implies that the production units of a firm increases as it grows while having a decreased input costs.

A firm will experience economies of scale in the long run if it's average total costs(cost per unit required for production which remains the same irrespective of output) decreases as it increases its scale of production.
