Answer: A memo
Explanation:
Of all the possible ways listed, a Memorandum would be the best way to go.
In businesses, Memos are considered a way to send information within the company about any changes or other happenings within a company. Memos can be sent to every individual or hung around the business. This way everybody can see it and be able to refer back to it. Memos also have proven overtime in the business world that they work for this purpose so using it would be best.
Face to face meetings would have helped explain the changes better but then people would not really be able to refer back to it.

Direct Labor $ 37,100 $39,200 $2,100 U
Total Variable costs $79,500 $89,100 $9,600 U
Explanation:
Using the good output and a flexible budget, the static budget was not achieved favorably as depicted.
A flexible budget varies the budgeted units to agree with the volume of activity. This produces a different result from the static budget, which does not vary the budgeted units according to the volume of activity.
A flexible budget is preferable as it reflects the correct performance given the activity level or volume of production or sales.
Brooke and John formed a partnership. Brooke received a 40% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing land (basis of $30,000 and fair market value of $120,000). John received a 60% interest in partnership capital and profits in exchange for contributing $180,000 of cash. Three years after the contribution date, the land contributed by Brooke is sold by the partnership to a third party for $150,000. What gain must Brooke recognize on the land contribution when establishing the partnership
Answer:
$102,000
Explanation:
According to 26 US code Section 704(c) - Partner's distributive share :
Taxable gain to be recognized from sale = Sale value - ( Partner's share * Fair market value )
Brooke contributed the land, the gain realized before the land was contributed = $120,000 - $90,000 will be allocated entirely to her. She will also be allocated 40% of the gain after the contribution was made = ($150,000 - $120,000) x 40% = $30,000 x 40% = $12,000.
So the total gain recognized by Brooke will be $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000.
Partnerships are pass through entities, the partners are taxed, not the partnership itself.
A car dealership promotes cars by donating a percentage of each sale to local charities. A beverage company gives free branded towels to the first 7,000 attendees at a football game.
A. differentiated by perception
B. differentiated by service
C. differentiated by brand name/advertising
D. differentiated by quality/design
E. differentiated by location
Answer:
The correct option is A) differentiated by perception
Explanation:
Differentiation communicates how a particular business is creating more value than her competitors which justifies charging higher rate for products and services.
One way to successfully create differentiation is by perception. the way customers see and identify with your brand is directly proportional to a strong value proposition, distinct features, quality service, strong brand identity and corporate social responsibility.
The car dealership by donating a percentage of each sales is seen as a responsive organization that identifies with the needs of the community.
The beverage company by giving towels to attendees in a football game met a need and sold their brand identity at the same time. they will be perceived as a superior beverage company that genuinely cares and identifies with people's area of interest.

B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve. C. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original aggregate demand curve.
Answer:
As a result of higher interest rates, the
B. aggregate demand curve will shift left.The new equilibrium will be
B. where the new aggregate demand curve intersects the original short-run aggregate supply curve.Explanation:
A contractionary monetary policy will increase the interest rates, lowering investment and consumption. This will result in a leftward shift of the aggregate demand curve.
The new equilibrium (E1) will be at the point where the new aggregate demand curve (AD1) intersects the original short run aggregate supply curve (SRAS) and the long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS).

The Widget Co. purchased all of its fixed assets three years ago for $4 million. These assets can be sold today for $2 million. The current balance sheet shows net fixed assets of $2,500,000, current liabilities of $1,375,000, and net working capital of $725,000. If all the current assets were liquidated today, the company would receive $1.9 million in cash. The book value of the total assets today is ________ and the market value of those assets is ________. $6,500,000; $3,900,000 $4,600,000; $3,125,000 $5,000,000; $3,125,000 $4,600,000; $3,900,000 $5,000,000; $3,900,000
Answer:
$4,600,000; $3,900,000
Explanation:
Book value of the asset are the recorded costs of the assets included any adjustments like depreciation or amortization. Market value is the fair value and Ne realizable value of the assets.
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets
Total Assets = Fixed Assets + (Working capital + Current Liabilities)
Placing Value in above formula
Total Assets = $2,500,000 + ($725,000 + $1,375,000)
Total Assets = $4,600,000
Market Value = Fair value of Fixed assets + Current assets fair value
Market Value = $2,000,000 + $1,900,000 = $3,900,000
Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?
Answer:
Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Explanation:
Given:
Two firm = BU1 , BU2
BU1 cost of production = $2 million
BU2 will able to pay up-to = $7.5 million
BU2 will pay = $5 million:
Find:
Value captured by BU1 = ?
Computation:
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = BU2 will able to pay up-to - BU1 cost of production
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $7.5 million - $2 million
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Based on the information given the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.
The value captured by the seller (BU1)
Seller value =Value BU1 is willing to sell -Value at which he sold
Where:
Value BU1 is willing to sell=$5 million
Value at which he sold=$2 million
Let plug in the formula
Seller value=$5 million-$2 million
Seller value= $3 million
Inconclusion the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.

At the beginning of the year, manufacturing overhead for the year was estimated to be $267,500. At the end of the year, actual direct labor-hours for the year were 22,100 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $262,500, and manufacturing overhead for the year was overapplied by $13,750. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor-hours, then the estimated direct labor-hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been:
Answer:
estimated direct labor hours= 21,400 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead= $267,500.
Actual direct labor hours= 22,100 hours
Actual manufacturing overhead= $262,500
Overapplied overhead= $13,750
We need to reverse engineer the allocation process of overhead costs to calculate the estimated overhead hour:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
-13,750= 262,500 - allocated overhead
276,250= allocated overhead
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
276,250= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate*22,100
$12.5= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate
Finally, we can calculate the estimated direct labor hours:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
12.5= 267,500/ estimated direct labor hours
estimated direct labor hours= 21,400 hours

Stellar Plastics is analyzing a proposed project with annual depreciation of $19,500 and a tax rate of 34 percent. The company expects to sell 12,000 units, plus or minus 5 percent. The expected variable cost per unit is $3.20 plus or minus 4 percent, and the expected fixed costs are $30,000 plus of minus 2 percent. The sales price is estimated at $7.50 a unit, plus or minus 4 percent. What is the operating cash flow for a sensitivity analysis using total fixed costs of $31,000
Answer:
$20,226
Explanation:
expected sales = 11,400 - 12,000 - 12,600
expected sales price = $7.20 - $7.50 - $7.80
expected variable cost = $3.072 - $3.20 - $3.328
total fixed costs = $31,000
if you use an excel spreadsheet you can calculate all the different possible simulations and combine all the expected sales x 3 different price levels x 3 different variable costs and 1 fixed cost. Once you get all the 27 possible solutions, you just get the average.

An old warehouse on the property was demolished at a cost of $11,000; the salvaged materials were sold for $3,100. Additional expenditures before construction began included $2,000 attorney's fee for work concerning the land purchase, $6,300 real estate broker's fee, $10,800 architect's fee, and $18,200 to put in driveways and a parking lot.
Determine the amount to be reported as the cost of the land.
Answer:
The amount to be reported as the cost of the land is $ 114,200
Explanation:
Cash paid for the land = $ 98,000
Net cost of demolishing old ware house = $ 11,000 - $ 3,100 = $ 7,900

(CMA Exam adapted) Units Work in process, November 1st 16,000 Started in production during November 100,000 Work in process, November 30th 24,000 The beginning inventory was 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion costs. The ending inventory was 90% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Costs pertaining to November are as follows: Beginning inventory: direct materials, $54,560; direct labor, $20,320; manufacturing overhead, $15,240. Costs incurred during the month: direct materials, $468,000; direct labor, $182,880; manufacturing overhead, $391,160. What is the equivalent unit cost for materials assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing?
Answer:
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87
Explanation:
First in First out (FIFO)methods separates completed units into fully worked and opening inventory
Fully worked units: These represent units of inventory that were started in a current period and completed that same period. The fully worked units are calculated in order to separate the opening inventory from the the newly introduced when accounting for completed units under the FIFO.
For Bentley , fully worked units is
Fully worked = Newly introduced - closing work in progress
= 100,000- 24,000 = 76,000 .
Opening inventory = 16,000
Item Units Equivalent Units
Opening inventory 16,000 × 40%= 9,600
Completed unit 76,000 × 100% = 480,000
Closing inventory 24,000 × 90% = 21,600
Total equivalent units 107,200
Cost per equivalent unit = Total cost/ equivalent inits
= 54560 +468,000/ 107,200 = $4.87
Material Cost per equivalent unit =$4.87

Dexter Industries purchased packaging equipment on January 8 for $116,600. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of three years, or 20,000 operating hours, and a residual value of $6,600. The equipment was used for 8,700 hours during Year 1, 7,380 hours in Year 2, and 3,920 hours in Year 3. Required: 1. Determine the amount of depreciation expense for the three years ended December 31 by (a) the straight-line method, (b) the units-of-activity method, and (c) the double-declining-balance method. Also determine the total depreciation expense for the three years by each method. (Note: For STRAIGHT-LINE ONLY, round the first two years to the nearest whole dollar, then round the third year as necessary. For DECLINING BALANCE ONLY, round the multiplier to five decimal places. Then round the answer for each year to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. What method yields the highest depreciation expense for Year 1
Answer:
Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years. Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 - $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 - $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.
Explanation:
(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.
(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:
(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year
At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850
At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590
At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.
Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.
(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:
Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV
SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage
BV = Book value
SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3
At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737
At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 - $77,737) = $25,910
At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 - $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.
Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.
Department G had 2,400 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 13,300 units were completed during the period; 2,000 units were 20% completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs debited to the departmental work in process account during the period:
Work in process, beginning of period $32,200
Costs added during period:
Direct materials (12,900 units at $9) 116,100
Direct labor 75,000
Factory overhead 25,000
All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used. What is the total cost of the units started and completed during the period (round unit cost calculations to four decimal places and round your final answer to the nearest dollar)?
a. $197,947
b. $181,306
c. $164,665
d. $98,100
Answer:
The total cost of the units started and completed during the period is $181,306. The right answer is b
Explanation:
In order to calculate the total cost of the units started and completed during the period we would have to calculate the Equivalent units as follows:
Equivalent units:
Whole units material conversion
Beginning units 2,400 0 1,800(75%)
Units started and complete 10,900 10,900 10,900
(13,300-2,400)
Total transferred 13,300 10,900 $ 12,700
Ending units 20,00 2,000 400(20%)
Equivalent units 15,300 12,900 13,100
Equivalent cost per unit:
Material conversion
Cost incurred this period $116,100 $100,000
÷ equivalent units ×12,900 ÷13,100
Cost per equivalent unit $9 $7.6336
Therefore, the total cost of the units started and completed during the period =10,900 units×($9+7.6336)
=$181,306
Which of the following is the most likely negative consequence of excessive change in an organization? Group of answer choices Staff being asked to do too much Staff being restricted to a single activity The operation of the organization at less than capacity The establishment of a system for prioritizing projects
Answer:
Staff being asked to do too much.
Explanation:
Excessive change in an organization is defined as a process when organizations pursue several differing, unrelated and sometimes changes that are conflicting simultaneously. It can also be, when an organization involves in introducing new changes before previous changes are being accomplished.
Additionally, when staffs or employees perceives change as being excessive, they react in various ways. Some of their reactions to excessive change includes;
• They become overwhelmed.
• Lack of motivation.
• They're stressed out.
• Frustration and anger builds among them.
• Inadequacy, uncertainty
and incompetence.
The lower level staffs and middle managers are most likely to experience, the negative consequence of excessive change in an organization because they're being asked to do too much.
Suppose the market for widgets can be described by the following equations: Demand: P equals 14minus2.00Q Supply: P equals 2.00Qminus4, where P is the price in dollars per unit and Q is the quantity in thousands of units. What is the equilibrium price and quantity? The equilibrium quantity is 4.5 thousand units and the equilibrium price is $ 5. (Enter your responses rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose the government imposes a tax of $1 per unit to reduce widget consumption and raise government revenues. What will be the new equilibrium quantity? What price will the buyer pay? What amount per unit will the seller receive? The new equilibrium quantity will be 4.25 thousand units. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The price paid by buyers will be $ 5.5. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) The amount kept by sellers will be $ 4.5. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Explanation:
Demand P = 14 - 2Q
Supply P = 2Q - 4
Since Demand = Supply
14 - 2Q = 2Q - 4
Collect the like terms on either side
-2Q - 2Q = -4 - 14
-4Q = -18
Dividing both sides by -4, we will have
Q = -18/-4
Q = 4.50 units
P = 14 - 2Q
P = 14 - 2(4.5)
P = 14 - 9
P = $5.00
Therefore Equilibrium price is $5.00 and Equilibrium unit is 4.50
If the government impose a tax of $1 per unit. If price paid but buyer is P, then price received by seller will be (P - 1)
for demand
P = 14 - 2Q
2Q = 14 - P
Q = 7 - 0.5P
For supply
P = 2Q - 4
Q = 2 + 0.5P
Q = 2+ 0.5(P - 1)
Q = 2 + 0.5P - 0.5
Q = 2-0.5 + 0.5P
Q = 1.5 + 0.5P
if Demand = Supply
7 - 0.5P = 1.5 + 0.5P
Collect the like terms on either sides
-0.5P - 0.5P = 1.5 - 7
-1P = -5.5
Dividing both sides by -1, we will have
P = -5.5/-1
P = $5.50
Q = 1.5 + 0.5P
If we substitute 5.5 for P in the above eqn, we will have
Q = 1.5 + 0.5(5.5)
Q = 1.5 + 2.75
Q = 4.25 units
