Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Semi-indirect.

Explanation:

In business writing, there are three main approaches to how to provide messages to an audience: direct strategy, indirect strategy, and semi-indirect strategy. The direct strategy places the purpose or conclusion of the message at first followed by the details of that idea. Using the indirect strategy, instead, implies starting the message with the details to finish with the central idea. The semi-indirect strategy is used when the main idea of the message is given in the middle of the speech and is surrounded by details at the beginning and the end.

In the excerpt, the main idea is:

"The new procedure for ordering supplies will be effective March 1";

which appears in the middle of the paragraph. Therefore, the speaker used the semi-indirect messaging strategy.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The order should be accepted as it will icnrease contribution by 2,700 dollars

Sales revenue 112,500

variable cost (106,800)

additional fixed cost (3,000)

contribution 2,700

Explanation:

We have to calculate the variable cost to compare against the offer sales price:

COGS

2,600,000 x 70% = 1,820,000

Operating expense

840,000 x 80% = 672,000

total variable 2,492,000

variable per unit:

2,492,000 / 350,000 = 7.12

we now calculate the contribution of the order and subtract the additional cost:

15,000 units x (7.50 - 7.12) -3,000 additional shipping

contribution 2,700

The master budget at Western Company last period called for sales of 225,000 units at $9 each. The costs were estimated to be $3

djyliett [7]

Answer:

The operating profit under actual budget gives $833,000 while flexible budget gives $982,500 which results in an unfavorable variance of $149,500

Explanation:

In computing the final variance I started with sales revenue for the actual production and sales of 230,000 under both actual and flexed budgets.

This approach implies that the original budget was revised to reflect actual quantity produced and sold but the budgeted amounts were used under flexed budget while the actual amounts were applied under the actual budget preparation.

Ziegler Inc. has decided to use the high-low method to estimate the total cost and the fixed and variable cost components of the

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit = $42 per unit

Total fixed cost = $107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units = $162,330

Explanation:

Mathematically;

Variable cost per unit=[Total cost at highest level-Total cost at lowest level]/(Highest level-Lowest level)

From the question;

Total cost at highest level = 223,440

Total cost at lowest level = 143,640

Highest level = 2755

lowest level = 855

Substituting these values, we have;

Variable cost per unit = (223,440-143,640)/(2755-855) = 79,800/1900 = $42 per unit

Fixed costs = Total cost at highest level- ( variable cost per unit * units produced at highest level) = 223,440-(42 * 2755) = 107,730

Total cost for 1,300 units

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit(number of units)

= $107,730 + 42(1,300) = $162,330

Greg, a project manager in your company, is falling behind on the project schedule. He has elected to crash the project. What is

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

c) Adding additional project resources to the project

Explanation:

Falling behind schedule is something that needs to be avoided or dealt with promptly and systematically

Crashing is the technique to use when fast tracking has not saved enough time on the project schedule. You use crashing to save resources to the project for the least cost possible. Anyhow, crashing is expensive because more resources are added to the project.
