It is expected that prices of other close substitutes will fall in the near future. How should you adjust your level of production in response to this change produce less than 100 units. Hence, option A is right.

A company that owns the exclusive right to produce a specific good or service is said to be operating as a monopolistic enterprise. These goods are profit-maximizing goods because market prices are set by consumer demand, and they are manufactured at marginal costs that are equivalent to their marginal revenues.

It is advisable to create fewer than the customary 100 units to still maximize profit when the prices of the product's near substitutes drop because this will result in a decrease in demand and a corresponding decrease in market pricing.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Please see the calculation explanation below and the depreciation expense chart for all methods is attached.

Explanation:

1. STRAIGHT-LINE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) / Useful Life </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $60,000 / 3 years

Depreciation Expense = $20,000 per year

2. DOUBLE DECLINING BALANCE DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / Useful Life) x 2 </em>

Depreciation Expense Rate = (100% / 3) x 2

Depreciation Expense Rate = 66.67%

<em>2013: </em>

Depreciation Expense = $70,000 x 66.67% = $46,667

<em>2014: </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $46,667) x 66.67% = $15,556

Since the residual value is $10,000 and as per Double Declining Balance Method, the point at which Book Value is equal to the residual value, no depreciation is taken.

<em>Depreciation Expense = (Total Cost - Residual Value) - (Accumulated Depreciation) </em>

Depreciation Expense = ($70,000 - $10,000) - ($46,667)  

Depreciation Expense = $13,333

<em>2015: </em>

No Depreciation Expense for year 3, as Book value is already equal to residual value in year 2.

3. PER HOUR DEPRECIATION METHOD:

<em>2013:</em><em> </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2013 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (500 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $25,000

<em>2014: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2014 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (400 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $20,000

<em>2015: </em>

<em>Depreciation Cost per hour = (Engine Hours in 2015 / Total Engine Hours) x (Total Cost - Residual Value) </em>

Depreciation Cost per hour = (300 / 1,200) x ($70,000 - $10,000)

Depreciation Cost per hour = $15,000

Which management theory was based on understanding each part of a task, selecting the right workers, providing adequate training
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Taylorism

Explanation:

Taylorism, often referred to as Scientific Management, was the first theory of management to focus specifically on analyzing and optimizing workflows. These theories of process optimization helped drive the Fordist shift to mass production which occurred in the early part of the 20th Century.  Taylorism can be boiled down to 4 principal points:  The method of doing a task should be informed by a scientific investigation of the task  , employees should be selected and carefully trained for tasks  ,tasks should have detailed instructions and should be subject to supervision  and management should evaluate tasks and formulate optimized approaches for the workers to follow .

Some forms of analysis might be done by timing how long it takes a worker to do a task, others by weighing raw materials. Process analysis, for Taylor, had to look at both the minutiae of the process composition and the detail of the physical acts required to complete the process. The elements of process improvement Taylor advocated for were successful in regards to processing materials; changing the way steel was cut and patenting that process. Yet, during his life, Taylor struggled to achieve quite the same success improving the efficiency of workers.  Taylorism was first scientifically understanding how the production process worked and then supporting the managers of a workplace to intimately train workers to work at maximum efficiency. This way, the means towards higher returns is paved with a well-managed, harmonious relationship between managers and workers. In theory, this would have been a much more sustainable model for an organization. But despite that promise, people, although genetically similar, are intrinsically unique and complex. Aligning different minds and ushering people to a new way of working (from individual craft, to standardized production), sometimes require more time and effort than bringing in a new piece of technology.

marin [14]

Answer:

$5,230

Explanation:

Account receivable balance = $310,000

Credit balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts = $970

Given percentage = 2%

So by considering the above information, the bad debt expense is

= Account receivable balance × given percentage - credit balance in allowance for uncollectible accounts

= $310,000 × 2% - $970

= $6,200 - $970

= $5,230

A produce distributor uses 774 packing crates a month, which it purchases at a cost of $12 each. The manager has assigned an ann
ki77a [65]

Answer:

$444.42

Explanation:

For computing the saving amount, first need to calculate the economic order quantity, total cost etc

The economic order quantity is

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

where,

Annual demand is

= 774 packaging crates × 12 months

= 9,932 crates

And, the carrying cost is

= $12 × 34%

= $4.08

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{9,288}\times \text{\$29}}{\text{\$4.08}}}

= 363.37 crates

Now the total cost is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 363 × $29 + 363 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $742.02 + $740.52

= $1,482.54

Now the total cost in case of 774 packing crates is

= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost

= Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit

= 9,288 ÷ 774 × $29 + 774 ÷ 2 × $4.08

= $348 + $1,578.96

= $1,926.96

So, the annual saving cost is

= $1,926.96 - $1,482.54

= $444.42
