Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Information Systems are the networks of both the hardware and the software which is used by economic agents to collect, process, create and help in the distribution of data.

Information Technology (IT) flattens organizations simply means that information systems can help in the reduction of the levels in an organization through the provision of information to managers which will be used in the supervision of other emoloyees and also, lower-level employees could be given more authority relating to decision-making.

Since decision making has been pushed to lower level then fewer managers will be needed. This ensures that faster decision making are made and there's increase in the span of control.

The controller of Hendershot Corporation estimates the amount of materials handling overhead cost that should be allocated to th

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

$14,506

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what the total materials handling cost allocated to the wall mirrors is closest to:

First step is to calculate Material handling cost per labor hour

Material handling cost per labor hour = $16,754.50 / [(12,900 * 9) + (1,500 * 12)]

Material handling cost per labor hour =$16,754.50/(116,100+18,000)

Material handling cost per labor hour = $16,754.50/134,100

Material handling cost per labor hour =0.124940

Now let calculate the Materials handling cost allocated to wall mirrors

Materials handling cost allocated to wall mirrors = 12,900 *9*0.124940

Materials handling cost allocated to wall mirrors = $14,506

Therefore the total materials handling cost allocated to the wall mirrors is closest to:$14,506

Imagine a linear demand curve graphed with Quantity on the x-axis and Price on the y-axis. We know the middle of the curve is th

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

A. That's the point where total revenue is maximized

Explanation:

Demand Curve is a downward sloping curve representing inverse relationship between price & quantity demanded.

Elasticity of Demand is the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price change. It can be measured geometrically on a demand curve point by :

Demand curve segment below the point / Demand curve segment above the point.

This way the elasticity keeps on decreasing as we move downwards on the demand curve [Ed=∞ to Ed >1 to Ed = 1 to Ed < 1 to Ed = 0] i.e [from perfectly elastic to elastic to unitary elastic to inelastic to perfectly inelastic demand].

If Demand is Elastic [Ed >1] : There is negative relationship between price and Total Revenue. This point is on the upper segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P- TR negative relationship implies that TR can be increased by decreasing Price.

If Demand is Inelastic [Ed <1] : There is positive relationship between price &total revenue. This point is on the lower segment of demand curve as per geometric method, P-TR positive relationship implies that TR can be increased by increasing price.

So: The best Total Revenue Maximising point is on the middle of demand curve where demand is unitary elastic [Ed=1] - as any other deviation from this point would create an incentive to change price to generate higher revenue.

Q 7.37: Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new sto

makkiz [27]

Answer:

Human element; collusion.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new storeroom clerk, about diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is an example of the human element, which may lead to collusion.

Human element can be defined as a strategic technique for improving and dealing with the way or manner employees work together in a business environment in order to achieve greater organizational performance and accomplishments. Human element can be used to improve openness, sincerity and honesty among the the very many people (employees) working individually or together as a team in an organization.

In this case, when the storeroom clerk agrees to Eric's suggestion, this would lead to both of them diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is simply an act of collusion.

Collusion is an illegal cooperation or agreement between two or more people with an ulterior motive, for personal benefits.

At a sales volume of 30,000 units, Carne Company's total fixed costs are $30,000 and total variable costs are $45,000. The relev

Anna [14]

Answer:

$2.25

Explanation:

sale volume of company = 30,000 unit

total fixed cost are = $30,000

total variable cost $45,000 for 30,000 unit

1 unit = 45000/30000 = $ 1 . 5

for the sale of 40,000 unit

the total expected cost

= Fixed cost + Variable cost

= $30,000 + 40,000×$1.50

= $30,000+$60,000

= $90,000

Cost per unit:

= $90,000/40,000

= $2.25

Morgan company issues 9%, 20-year bonds with a par value of $750,000 that pay interest semi-annually. the current market rate is

Gemiola [76]

The amount of interest owed to the bondholders for each payment is $33,750. The amount interest to the bondholders for each payment should be calculated with this formula: Interest Yield Rate x Face Value of Bond x Time (9% x $750,000 x 1/2). The market interest rate of 8% has no effect on the interest payment calculation but it impacted the bond market value.
