Explanation:
The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that Group of answer choices a. the focused differentiators have a broader competitive scope b. the value-creating activities of focused differentiators are more constrained. c. focused differentiators target a narrower customer market d. there are fewer risks with the focused differentiation strategy.
Answer:
The answer is option C) The focused differentiation strategy differs from the differentiation strategy in that focused differentiators target a narrower customer market.
Explanation:
Product differentiation is a marketing strategy that creates competitive advantage with designing a product superior to that of rivals, priced higher and sometimes created for exclusive users.
However, the focused differentiation strategy takes it a step further by targeting a small group of customers with ostensible goods.
The bourgeoisie are the main target for focused differentiators. They have the economic power to foot the bill and they enjoy the exclusivity of being the few to consume such products. A good example of such products is the Bugatti and Ferrari.
Pharoah Company has had 4 years of record earnings. Due to this success, the market price of its 500,000 shares of $4 par value common stock has increased from $15 per share to $55. During this period, paid-in capital remained the same at $6,000,000. Retained earnings increased from $4,500,000 to $30,000,000. CEO Don Ames is considering either (1) a 15% stock dividend or (2) a 2-for-1 stock split. He asks you to show the before-and-after effects of each option on (a) retained earnings, (b) total stockholders’ equity, and (c) par value per share.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
1) 15% Stock Dividend-
Retained Earnings = Increase Value of Retained Earnings - (Total Shares × 15% Stock Dividend × Increase Value of Per Share)
= $30,000,000 - (500,000 × 15% × $55)
= $30,000,000 - $4,125,000
= $25,875,000
2) 2-for-1 stock split-
Retained earnings = $30,000,000
The 2-for-1 stock split will not impact retained earnings.
a and b) The before, after effects of each option are shown in the attachment below
c) Par value per share
Par value per share of stock dividend = $4
Par value per share of 2-for-1 stock split = $4 ÷ 2 = $2
According to the analysis, stock dividend will not make any impact.
(Ignore income taxes in this problem.) Assume you can invest money at a 14 percent rate of return. How much money must be invested now to be able to withdraw $5,000 from this investment at the end of each year for eight years, the first withdrawal occurring one year from now
Answer:
the original amount invested = $285,714.29
Explanation:
Let original amount invested be x
Amount to be withdrawn per year = $5,000
Total number of years = 8
Total amount to be withdrawn = 5,000 × 8 = $40,000
Next, we are told that 14% return on x is realized,
∴ 14% return on x = $40,000
0.14 × x = 40,000
x = 40,000 ÷ 0.14 = $285,714.29
Therefore, the original amount invested = $285,714.29

The company used 1,510 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $9,211. The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The variable overhead rate variance for November is:
Answer:
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $604 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Variable overhead 0.20 hours $ 6.50 per hour
The company used 1,510 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The actual variable overhead cost was $9,211.
To calculate the variable overhead rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (standard rate - actual rate)* actual quantity
Actual rate= 9,211/1,510= $6.1
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= (6.5 - 6.1)*1,510
Manufacturing overhead rate variance= $604 favorable

Workminusinminusprocess records revealed that 12 comma 500 card units were started in January, 6 comma 250 card units were complete, and 4 comma 000 card units were spoiled as expected. Ending workminusinminusprocess card units are complete in respect to direct materials costs. Spoilage is not detected until the process is complete. What is the direct material cost assigned to good units completed? A. $ 258 comma 621 B. $ 150 comma 000 C. $ 96 comma 000 D. $ 246 comma 000
Answer:
D. $246,000
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of direct material cost assigned to good units completed is provided below:-
To reach Cost transferred out we need to follow some steps which is following below:-
Step 1. Cost per unit = cost of material used ÷ Units started
= $300,000 ÷ 12,500
= $24
Now,
Step 2. Goods units completed = Started units × Cost per unit
= 6,250 × $24
= $150,000
Step 3. Normal spoilage = Cards units × Cost per unit
= 4,000 × $24
= $96,000
and finally
Cost transferred out = Goods units completed + Normal spoilage
= $150,000 + $96,000
= $246,000
To reach allocation of Cost transferred out we simply put the values into formula.

Explanation:
Option A has an expected value of $2,000, a minimum payoff of -$4,000, and a maximum payoff of $18,000. Option B has an expected value of $2,200, a minimum payoff of -$1,000, and a maximum payoff of $6,000. Option C has an expected value of $1,900, a minimum payoff of $100, and a maximum payoff of $2,000. In this situation, a risk-averse decision maker would pay __________ for his risk aversion, and a risk-seeking decision maker would pay __________ for his risk seeking.
Answer:
Option A is the answer
Explanation:
A risk-averse decision maker will go for the option with the least chance of loss incurred (the highest minimum payoff of $100) and settle for an expected value of 1900. He'll pay for his risk avoidance in this way (2200-1900 = 300) while a risk-seeking decision maker will go for the option with the highest payoff chances ($18,000), regardless of the possibility of failure. This would make the risk-seeking decision maker go for option A.

Flyaway Travel Company reported net income for 2021 in the amount of $105,000. During 2021, Flyaway declared and paid $3,625 in cash dividends on its nonconvertible preferred stock. Flyaway also paid $25,000 cash dividends on its common stock. Flyaway had 55,000 common shares outstanding from January 1 until 25,000 new shares were sold for cash on April 1, 2021. What is 2021 basic earnings per share?
Answer:
The 2021 basic earnings per share is $1.68
Explanation:
In order to calculate the 2021 basic earnings per share we would have to use the following formula:
Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
According to given data:
Net income=$105,000
Preferred Dividend=$3,625
The calculation of the Weighted average common shares outstanding would be as follows:
Period Months Number of shares outstanding Weighted Number
A B A*B /12
Jan 1 to Mar 31 3 55,000 13,750
April 1 to Dec. 31 9 80,000 (55,000 +25,000) 60,000
(40000+10000)
The Weighted average common shares is 60,000
Therefore, Basic EPS = (Net income - Preferred Dividend) / Weighted average common shares outstanding
Basic EPS= ($105,000 - $3,625) / 60,000
Basic EPS=$1.68
The following costs are included in a recent summary of data for a company: advertising expense, $85,000; depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000; direct labor, $250,000; direct material used, $300,000; factory utilities, $105,000; and sales salaries expense, $150,000. Determine the dollar amount of conversion costs.
Answer:
Conversion costs= $488,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
depreciation expense - factory building, $133,000
direct labor, $250,000
factory utilities, $105,000
The conversion costs are the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead.
Manufacturing overhead= 133,000 + 105,000= 238,000
Direct labor= 250,000
Conversion costs= $488,000

The I-75 Carpet Discount Store has an annual demand of 10,000 yards of super shag carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of carpet is $0.75 and the ordering cost is $150. The carpet manufacturer normally charges the store $8 per yard for the carpet.; however, the manufacturer has offered a discount price of $6.50 per yard if the store will order 5,000 yards. How much should the store order, and what will be the total inventory cost for that order quantity?
Answer:
5 units and $2,175
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{10,000}\times \text{\$150}}{\text{\$0.75}}[/tex]
= 2,000 units
The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $8 + 10,000 ÷ 2,000 × $150 + 2,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= 80,000 + $750 + $750
= $81,500
Now in case of ordering 5,000 yields at discount price of $6.50 the total cost is
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $6.50 + 10,000 ÷ 5,000 × $150 + 5,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= $65,000 + 300 + $1,875
= $67,175
Therefore there will be 5 units should store at a time and cost of inventory is 300 + $1,875 = $2,175
Hancock Medical Supply Co., earned $90,500 of revenue on account during Year 1, its first year of operation. During Year 1, Hancock collected $71,400 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company did not write-off any uncollectible accounts. It estimates that it will be unable to collect 1% of revenue on account. What is the net realizable value of receivables that will be reported on the balance sheet at December 31, Year 1
Answer:
$18,195
Explanation:
The computation of the net realizable value is shown below:
As we know that
Net Realizable Value of Receivables = Ending Accounts Receivable - Estimated Uncollectibles amount
where,
Ending balance of Accounts Receivable is
= Revenue on Account - Accounts collected
= $90,500 - $71,400
= $191,00
And,
Estimated Uncollectibles i.e Bad debt Expense is
= Revenue on Account × given percentage
= $90,500 × 1%
= $905
So, the net realizable value is
= $19,100 - $905
= $18,195
We simply applied the above formula
Management in Life Annabelle and Bettina share a dorm room. They like each other, but they disagree about how often to clean. Eventually, Annabelle says to Bettina, "I'm afraid that if we clean the room only once a month, we're going to get bugs. Bettina replies, "Maybe, but this physics course is killing me, so I don't have time to clean more often than that." Annabelle and Bettina are engaged in conflict, based on Which of the following outcomes are likely in this situation?
A) Annabelle and Bettina will learn from each other.
B) The roommates will come up with a creative solution.
C) The roommates will stop speaking to each other.
D) Annabelle and Bettina will be angry at each other.
Answer:
A). Annabelle and Bettina will learn from each other .
B). The roommates will come up with a creative solution."
Explanation:
Anabelle and Bettina are involved in a 'cognitive' conflict as it occurs when they both experience a mental as well as emotional discomfort when they are confronted with the information that challenges their existing ideas or beliefs. The most likely outcomes of this situation would be that they 'both would learn from each other' by accepting each other's point of view and adapting with the new information that would help them 'reach a creative solution' to resolve their conflict over the cleaning of their room. Therefore, options A and B are the correct answers.
The following cost data relate to the manufacturing activities of Chang Company during the just completed year: Manufacturing overhead costs incurred: Indirect materials $ 16,000 Indirect labor 140,000 Property taxes, factory 9,000 Utilities, factory 80,000 Depreciation, factory 251,500 Insurance, factory 11,000 Total actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 507,500 Other costs incurred: Purchases of raw materials (both direct and indirect) $ 410,000 Direct labor cost $ 70,000 Inventories: Raw materials, beginning $ 21,000 Raw materials, ending $ 31,000 Work in process, beginning $ 41,000 Work in process, ending $ 71,000 The company uses a predetermined overhead rate of $25 per machine-hour to apply overhead cost to jobs. A total of 20,700 machine-hours were used during the year. Required: 1. Compute the amount of underapplied or overapplied overhead cost for the year. 2. Prepare a schedule of cost of goods manufactured for the year.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
The difference between the actual accumulated manufacturing overhead and the applied overhead measured on the basis of actual activity carried out at standard cost is the overhead expense under or over applied.
When applied overheads, the overheads are considered underapplied less than the actual overhead.
When overheads are applied, the overheads are considered overapplied higher than the real overhead.
So, we need to compute the applied overhead to find out the under or over applied overhead.
Applied Manufacturing Overhead = Total Machine Hours actually recorded × Predetermined Overhead Rate
= 20,700 MHs × $25
= $517,500
As we can see that the applied overheads are greater than the actual incurred overhead, so, Overheads are overapplied.
Over-Applied Overhead Cost = Applied Overhead – Actual Overhead
= 517,500 – 507,500
= $10,000

Last year Kruse Corp had $380,000 of assets (which is equal to its total invested capital), $403,000 of sales, $28,250 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 39%. The new CFO believes the firm has excessive fixed assets and inventory that could be sold, enabling it to reduce its total assets and total invested capital to $252,500. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Sales, costs, and net income would not be affected, and the firm would maintain the same capital structure (but with less total debt). By how much would the reduction in assets improve the ROE (percentage point change)
Answer:
=6.154%
Explanation:
Original New
Assets $380,000 $252,500
Sales $403,000 $403,000
Net income $28,250 $28,250
Debt ratio 39.00% 39.00%
Debt = Assets × debt % = $148,200 $98,475
Equity = Assets − Debt = $231,800 $154,025
ROE = NI/Equity = 12.187% 18.341%
Increase in ROE = 18.341%-12.187%
= 6.154%
Therefore, the reduction in assets improve the ROE (percentage point change) is 6.154%
Problem 7-18 Variable and Absorption Costing Unit Product Costs and Income Statements [LO7-1, LO7-2]Haas Company manufactures and sells one product. The following information pertains to each of the company’s first three years of operations: Variable costs per unit: Manufacturing: Direct materials$20Direct labor$12Variable manufacturing overhead$7Variable selling and administrative$3Fixed costs per year: Fixed manufacturing overhead$110,000Fixed selling and administrative expenses$50,000 During its first year of operations, Haas produced 40,000 units and sold 40,000 units. During its second year of operations, it produced 55,000 units and sold 30,000 units. In its third year, Haas produced 20,000 units and sold 45,000 units. The selling price of the company’s product is $46 per unit. Required:1. Compute the company’s break-even point in unit sales.2. Assume the company uses variable costing:a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.3. Assume the company uses absorption costing:a. Compute the unit product cost for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.b. Prepare an income statement for Year 1, Year 2, and Year 3.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
For computation of contribution margin per unit first we need to find out the contribution margin per unit and fixed expenses which is shown below:-
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= $46 - ($20 + $12 + $7 + $3)
= $46 - $42
= $4
Fixed expenses = Fixed manufacturing overhead + Fixed selling and administrative expenses
= $110,000 + $50,000
= $160,000
Break-even units = Fixed expenses ÷ Contribution margin per unit
= $160,000 ÷ 4
= 40,000 units

Please help ASAP giving BRAINLIEST , Did I get this correct?
Answer:
No, in my opinion I would choose:
A) the properties of free-market system that determine what the outcomes will be.
Explanation:
That would be my answer because the definition of market forces is "the economic factors affecting the price of, demand for, and availability of a commodity."(off the internet) and the answer which fits that definition the most in my opinion is A.
That would be my answer at least.
Hope this helps!
After graduating from college with a bachelor's degree in business administration,Joe sent an email,with his resume attached,to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).In his email,he was only inquiring about an entry level position at the firm.When he found out that MBC had hired two of his classmates who were not of his race,Joe filed a discrimination complaint against MBC under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.Which of the following is true of this scenario?
A) Joe has a good case against MBC because his email was clear that he was interested in the entry level position at the firm, and they did not even consider him.
B) Joe does not have a valid case because employment laws do not permit people to apply for a job via the Internet or related electronic data technologies.
C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
D) Joe would have had a valid case against MBC had he submitted his resume via a third-party job board.
Answer:
C) Joe does not have a valid case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
Explanation:
Joe after graduating from the college with a degree in business administration, sent an enquiry email with his resume attached to the Media Blitz Company (MBC).
Joe would most likely not prevail in his case because sending an email inquiry about a job does not qualify the sender as an applicant.
As a job seeker, you're expected to send an application for a job position advertised with your resume attached. This would serve as an evidence of interest or desire to work with the organization.
In this scenario, Joe wasn't being discriminated at by the Media Blitz Company (MBC).
Hence, Joe's case against MBC on the ground of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act becomes an invalid one.
Assume that at the end of 2019, Clampett, Inc. (an S corporation) distributes property (fair market value of $40,000, basis of $5,000) to each of its four equal shareholders (aggregate distribution of $160,000). At the time of the distribution, Clampett, Inc., has no corporate earnings and profits and J.D. has a basis of $50,000 in his Clampett, Inc., stock. What is J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution
Answer:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution is $85,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution we would have to use the following formula:
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=original basis +increase/decrease in basis from gain from property distribution
original basis=$50,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$40,000-$5,000
basis from gain from property distribution=$35,000
Therefore, J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$50,000+$35,000
J.D.'s stock basis after the distribution=$85,000
In performing accounting services for small businesses, you encounter the following situations per taining to cash sales. 1. Poole Company enters sales and sales taxes separately in its cash register. On April 10, the register totals are sales $30,000 and sales taxes $1,500. 2. Waterman Company does not segregate sales and sales taxes. Its register total for April 15 is $25,680, which includes a 7% sales tax. Prepare the entry to record the sales transactions and related taxes for each client.
Answer and Explanation:
According to the scenario, journal entries of the given data are as follow:-
1.Journal Entry of Poole Company
April 10
Cash A/c Dr. $31,500
To Sales A/c $30,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,500
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
2. Since Register total for April $25,680 includes 7% sales tax.
So Sales of Waterman Company
= Registered Total Amount ÷ (1 + Sales Tax Rate)
= $25,680 ÷ (1 + 7%)
= $25,680 ÷ 1.07
= $24,000
Now
Sales tax = $24,000 × 7% = $1,680
Journal Entry of Waterman Company
On 15 April
Cash A/c Dr. $25,680
To Sales A/c $24,000
To Sales tax payable A/c $1,680
(Being the sales and sales tax payable is recorded)
i. Lawyers are changing their pay structures. It used to be that they would bill hourly (top dollar for top lawyers, less experienced helpers had cheaper rates). Now they’re beginning to price like consultants—per project. Thus they must begin assessing the value-added to the client firm of the legal expertise and assistance. What advice would you give a law firm to proceed fairly and profitably?
Answer:
Prominent conjoint analysis is said to be the only thing that I would recommend to the law firming order in order to ensure that the order has proceed fairly and as well as profitably .
Due to the fact that this method of payment is said to offers different prices for different projects to both the top lawyers and the less experienced help.
Explanation:
The mode of payment that lawyers have made had turned to be the best and most interesting mode of payment structures, because before reading the above article I was not actually aware of the payment strategy to be in paying most individuals due to the fact that the most prominent conjoint analysis is said to be the only thing that I would recommend to the law firming order in order to ensure that the order has proceed fairly and as well as profitably .
Due to the fact that this method of payment is said to offers different prices for different projects to both the top lawyers and the less experienced help.
The Converting Department of Hopkinsville Company had 1,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 75% complete. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,360 units in process at the end of the period, which were 25% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required 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 (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units 25,540
While Mary Corens was a student at the University of Tennessee, she borrowed $9,000 in student loans at an annual interest rate of 9%. If Mary repays $1,700 per year, then how long (to the nearest year) will it take her to repay the loan? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Answer:
The time required to repay the loan is 8 years.
Explanation:
The loan amount that the student borrowed = $9000
Annual interest rate = 9%
Repayment amount per year or annuity amount = $1700 per year
Use the below formula to calculate the number of years to repay the loan amount.
A = annuity amount
r = interest rate
n = number of years
PVF = present value of annuity
[tex]\rm PVF = \frac{A\left [1-\left ( 1+r \right )^{-n} \right ]}{r} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = \frac{1700\left [1-\left ( 1+ 0.09 \right )^{-n} \right ]}{0.09} \\[/tex]
[tex]9000 = 18888.9(1-1.09^{-n}) \\[/tex]
[tex]n = 7.51 \ years \ or \ 8 \ years.[/tex]
So, the time taken to repay the loan amount is 8 years.
