Zanzabum

Answer:

2,060 units

Explanation:

As we know thestock policy of the firm is the ending inventory for each month should be the 30 % of the next month's sales

In the case of february, following this policy:

  • Starting inventory: is the same of ending inventory of the previous month: 0,3*2,000 (February´s sales) units= 600 units.
  • Ending inventory= 0,3*2,200 (March´s sales) units= 660 units

Also, Ending Inventory (EI) is the result of the sum of Starting Inventory (SI) and  February Purchases (P) minus February Sales (S)

  • EI= SI+P-S

We want to know P ( units Purchased), so:

P= EI-SI+S= 660-600+2,000=2060 units

A company is experiencing lower than expected sales. The company’s executives agreed that in order to make up some of the lost r
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a) The Common stockholder are the stakeholders

b) It is good business practice and ethical

c) $200,000 increase in income before tax

d) Advise the stakeholders based on the calculations made and effect on profit before tax.

Explanation:

The Question is divided into 4 parts and each will be answered as follows

<u>a) Identify the stakeholders in the case:</u> The stakeholders in such a case are the common stock holders.

The objective of any organization as well as its board of executives is to maximize the wealth of the stakeholders or shareholders. As such, any drag in sales will impact profit and lower profit means lower dividend or interest for stakeholders. Any decision taken therefore, will affect the common stock holders the most.  

b) <u>Determine whether the proposed change in assets’ useful life is unethical or good business practice? </u>

The ethical nature of the proposed change in assets' useful life is based on how it affects industry practice

Since, its proposal will lead to the company's alignment with industry standard and practices, it means it is ethical and in line with good business practice  

Furthermore, since it will lead to an increase in the company's dragging profits, then the common stock holders and every other stakeholder in the organization will have restored confidence in the company. Hence, it is both ethical and good business practice.  

c<u>) Determine the effects of executives’ proposed changes on the income before taxes for the year of proposed change? </u>

Initial Depreciation/year ($4,400,000-$400,000)/ 8 $500,000

The proposed Depreciation ($300,000)

($4,400,000-$1,000,000-$400,000)= $3,000,000

$3,000,000/ (12 -2 years)= $300,000

The difference $200,000

This difference represents an increase in income before tax is deducted

d)<u> State what you would do if you were in charge of making the change. </u>

I will primarily advise the stakeholders based on the options available as follows:

If profitability is paramount, in order to ensure that stakeholders enjoy maximized wealth then, we should take the decision to change the depreciation estimates.  

Of course, there is also the need to remind everyone that the increase in income before tax also leads to an increase in tax.

In the _____ contract, if the supplier can demonstrate actual cost savings through production efficiencies or substitution of ma
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

C. Fixed price with incentive

Explanation:

In the fixed price with incentive contract, if the supplier can demonstrate actual cost savings through production efficiencies or substitution of materials, the resulting savings from the initial price targets are shared between the supplier and the purchaser at a predetermined rate.

Fixed-price incentive contract refers to a fixed-price contract which provides for adjusting profit and establishing the final contract price by application of a formula based on the relationship of total final negotiated cost to total target cost. It provides for the adjustment of the contract price and profit.

The amount of the adjustment is determined by a formula which is based on the relationship between total negotiated cost and the target cost or the actual cost, or some other factors.

Suppose the world population today is 7 billion, and suppose this population grows at a constant rate of 3% per year from now on
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a) P(t=100) = 7 e^{0.03*100}=140.599 billion

b) P(t=0) = 7 e^{0.03*0}=7 billion

P(t=1) = 7 e^{0.03*1}=7.21 billion

P(t=2) = 7 e^{0.03*2}=7.43 billion

P(t=10) = 7 e^{0.03*10}=9.45 billion

P(t=25) = 7 e^{0.03*25}=14.82 billion

P(t=50) = 7 e^{0.03*50}=31.37 billion

c) Figure attached

d) Figure attached

Explanation:

The proportional model on this case would be given by:

\frac{dP}{dt} = kP

Where P is the population size, t the time on years and k a constant.

We can reorder this expression like this:

\frac{dP}{P} = k dt

If we integrate both sides we got:

ln|P| = kt + C

And using exponentials on both sides we got:

P(t) = e^{kt} e^C = P_o e^{kt}

Where P_o=7 billion  represent the initial amount for the starting year t=0.

The rate on this case is given r =3\% = 0.03, so then our model would be given by:

P(t) = 7 e^{0.03t}

Part a

For this case we just need to replace t=100 and we got:

P(t=100) = 7 e^{0.03*100}=140.599 billion

Part b

For this case we have the following:

P(t=0) = 7 e^{0.03*0}=7 billion

P(t=1) = 7 e^{0.03*1}=7.21 billion

P(t=2) = 7 e^{0.03*2}=7.43 billion

P(t=10) = 7 e^{0.03*10}=9.45 billion

P(t=25) = 7 e^{0.03*25}=14.82 billion

P(t=50) = 7 e^{0.03*50}=31.37 billion

Part c

The graph is on the first figure attached.

Part d

If we take a log-log scale we have the following values

We need to exclude the point t=0 since the natural log for 0 is not defined.

ln 1 =0 , ln 2= 0.693, ln 10=2.30, ln 25 =3.22, ln 50= 3.91

The result would be the figure 2 attached. And we see a better result for the graph.

You sell Jessica a current up-to-date rental list and provide all the proper disclosures and paperwork. Jessica contacts you 15
Vladimir79 [104]

She is entitled to 75% refund.

Explanation:

A refund application Letter is a written formal application for a product or service return.

It is discussed to the trader and should contain basic information concerning the purchase, the reason whether a refund is requested and reimbursement expectations.

Documentation is critical. If the main receipt has also been lost, do not get out of sight-if the purchase has also been produced by credit or debit card, the online account overview page should provide a backup history.
