You are most likely discussing the general business environment in which your company must operate.

<h2>What is the general environment in business?</h2>

The diversity of external elements that have an impact on an organization's performance and operation is known as the general environment, or macro-environment. These outside factors can decide whether a company encounters market opportunities or failures.

The overall environment can influence how a firm identifies itself, the products it sells, and how it interacts with other businesses and regulatory bodies. When performing market research and strategic analysis, businesses often consider the overall environment.

<h2>What are the six elements of the business environment?</h2>

Sometimes, economic and legal aspects are combined to form five major components of the business environment. Political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors are the six components of the business environment.

<h3>What is the external business environment?</h3>
  • Economic, political and legal, demographic, social, competitive, international, and technological sectors make up the external business environment.
  • Managers need to be aware of how the environment is changing and how those changes are affecting the company.

Lindsey Company uses activity-based costing. The company has two products: A and B. The annual production and sales of Product A
natita [175]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the activities rate:</u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24,000 / 1,000= $24 per activity unit

Activity 2= 36,900 / 900= $41 per activity unit

Activity 3= 63,000 / 1,800= $35 per activity unit

<u>Now, we can allocate costs to product A:</u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Activity 1= 24*200= $4,800

Activity 2= 41*750= $30,750

Activity 3= 35*1,000= $35,000

Total allocated costs= $70,550

<u>Finally, the unitary cost:</u>

Unitary cost= 70,550 / 5,000= $14.11

In 2019, Pine Corporation had losses of $20,000 from operations. It received $180,000 in dividends from a 25%-owned domestic cor
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Net income per books   $65,000

Add back:

Federal income taxes     9,700

Excess contributions       3,000

Life insurance premiums 10,000

$87,700

Subtract:

Tax-exempt interest       (1,500)

Excess depreciation       (4,500)

Taxable income                         $81,700

Dividend received deduction = 160000 x 80% = 128000 (full DRD doesn't create loss).

DRD will be 80% of taxable inome because percent partnership is 25% which is between 20 to 80%.
