Answer:

C. Step variable cost

Explanation:

Fixed costs are those costs which are incurred anyways irrespective of the level of operation of a business or the volume of activity. For example rent of factory is a fixed cost which has to be incurred regardless of the production level.

Variable costs are those costs which vary with the level of production. e.g labor cost.

In this case, a T- shirt is given to every 100th customer.  This kind of cost is step cost at the level of 100th customer. The number of T-shirts in a day would depend upon the no of patrons arriving each day i.e variable.

Thus, this is the case of a step variable cost which is incurred at discrete point i.e every 100th customer.

Answer:

Step Variable cost

Explanation:

This cost remains the same over a period of time or until certain threshold is attained. It is subjected to review periodically if the manager decides. While a true variable cost varies in direct proportion to production activities , step variable does not.

Another example of step variable cost is compensation given out to either employees when a set target is achieved.

Explanation:

The sales, expenses, income summary and drawings accounts will be closed therefore will not be part of the post-closed trial balance.

Thew capital Account will suffer the net change of all these account thus, we can list the assets and liabilities and then, solve for Capital by the difference:

Assets = Laibilities + Equity

327,060 = 150 + 18,100 + 9,000 + 1,420 + 340 + Capital

Capital = 327,060  - (150 + 18,100 + 9,000 + 1,420 + 340)

Capital = 298,050

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

the warranty may have expired

Explanation:

  • Warranty is not guaranteed. This is just a promise. It can be enforced if specified by the award for legal compensation for damages
  • Warranty is a condition of the contract or the innocent word "does not go to the source of the contract" and only damages the innocent party
  • Sometimes manufacturers allow you to purchase an extended warranty after your original warranty expires.
  • If you do not have any warranty compared to the equipment installed by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), it is difficult to confirm.

Shamrock Shades operates in mall kiosks throughout the southwestern United States. Shamrock purchases sunglasses from bulk disco
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar

Purchase               $160,000       $200,000       $252,000

Explanation:

For computing the required purchase from Jan to Mar we need to find out the following amounts

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar                  Apr

Projected sales    $380,000     $460,000        $620,000        $660,000

COGS  at 40%      $152,000      $184,000         $248,000        $264,000

Ending inventory   $46,000      $62,000          $66,000

Beg inventory        $38,000      $46,000           $62,000

Now the required purchased for each month is

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar

COGS                    $152,000        $184,000        $248,000

Add: ending inve  $46,000         $62,000         $66,000

Less: Beg inve      ($38,000)       ($46,000)       ($62,000)

Purchase               $160,000       $200,000       $252,000

Here,

COGS = Cost of goods sold

Since the desired ending inventory is 25 percent of the following month’s cost of goods sold so beginning inventory would be 25 percent in current year cost of goods sold

"Lluvia Manufacturing and Paraguas Products both seek funding at the lowest possible cost. Lluvia would prefer the flexibility o
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

Paraguas should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt.

Lluvia should choose funding in floating rate

Explanation:

Paraguas wants the security of fixed rate borrowing; thus it should borrow at LIBOR + 2.000% and swap for fixed rate debt, in which Libor is 5.500%; their total cost at 7.5% is still lower than Fixed rate 12.0%

Lluvia prefer the flexibility of floating rate borrowing, and its rating is better; then it can enjoy lower cost of borrowing at 5%. However it may face the increase if LIBOR increase later; vice versa if LIBOR decrease, its cost of borrowing is able to reduce also.

Herzberg's motivational factors and Maslow's esteem and self-actualization needs are similar. Explain how organizations can meet
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Organizations can meet the human needs identified by Maslow by studying and implementing the motivational factors specified by Herzberg.

The similarity of Herzberg's motivational factors and Maslow's esteem and self-actualization needs is addressed by the following questions: "What do people really want from their work?"  "How do organizations go about meeting these needs or ensuring that the needs are met?"

The answer is in the awareness of what workers want from the work they carry out for organizations.  As Maslow stated, people generally have five human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization (later described as  transcendence).   It is only when the basic needs (physiological needs, safety needs, and social belonging and love needs) are satisfied  in that order, that workers would seek self-esteem and self-actualization or transcendence.  It is also at this level of seeking self-esteem and self-actualization that organizations would derive the greatest benefits from their workers.  It then behoves organizations to ensure that the basic needs are not denied, but to push forward to help their workers attain self-esteem and self-actualization.

Herzberg's motivational factors show that it is the responsibility of organizations to ensure that their workers achieve a sense of achievement in the work they do.  They should also be recognized for doing good jobs.  The nature of the work should be such that it does not demean the worker.  There should be dignity of labor.  Workers achieve more when they are made responsible for the outcome of their work.   Being assigned responsibilities help them to advance and and grow.  Organizations also need to manage well the extrinsic job elements that Herzberg identified as "hygiene factors," which concentrate on the work environment.

Explanation:

a) Frederick Herzberg identified certain job factors that bring about employee job satisfaction whereas others can create job dissatisfaction. According to Herzberg, "motivating factors (also called satisfiers) are primarily intrinsic job elements that lead to satisfaction, such as achievement, recognition, the (nature of) work itself, responsibility, advancement, and growth."  The dissatisfiers, on the other hand, he called "hygiene factors."   They are "extrinsic elements of the work environment such as company policy, relationships with supervisors, working conditions, relationships with peers and subordinates, salary and benefits, and job security, which can result in job dissatisfaction if not well managed."  An interesting result of Herzberg’s studies was that "the opposite of satisfaction is not dissatisfaction."  Herzberg's studies established that proper management of hygiene factors could prevent employee dissatisfaction, but that these factors could not serve as a source of satisfaction or motivation.  The summary is that motivational factors are quite distinct from hygiene factors.

b) Maslow identified the following hierarchy of human needs: physiological needs, safety needs, social belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization (later described as  transcendence).  The hierarchy of needs, according to Maslow, show how humans essentially partake in behavioral motivation.   The summary of Maslow's hierarchy of human needs is that "people are motivated to fulfill basic needs before moving on to other, more advanced needs."
