Answer:

Net Operating Income will decrease by $503,080.

Explanation:

Sales of Hardware after 12% decrease will be $3,100,000 * 88% (100 - 12) = $2,728,000

Variable Expenses of Hardware after 12% decrease 891,000 * 88% (100 - 12) = $784,080

Net Operating Income of Hardware after 12% decrease = $623,920

The sunk cost for Linens fixed cost will be deducted to find the total of net operating income

$623,920 - $375,000 = $248,920

$248,920 is the net operating income after dropping Linens

The increase or decrease is calculated by finding the difference between current and old total net operating income

$248,920 - $752,000 = $503,080

erica [24]

Answer:

(I)

b. Use the reasons-before-refusal plan.

(II)

a. Keep the refusal respectful, sensitive, and upbeat.

b. Disclose all reasons for the refusal.

d. Provide alternatives that encourage the customer to continue business with you.

Explanation:

In the first case, the best strategy to adopt is that of presenting the "reasons-before-refusal" plan. This means that before conveying a negative message to the client, you explain the reasons of why this message necessarily has to be like that. By reading the reasons first, the customer will be more likely to agree with your assessment of the situation.

In the second example, these are all strategies that you can use to ensure that the letter you are writing is kind and appropriate. In this letter, it is important to be respectful, sensitive and upbeat in order for the customer to know that you are taking his claim seriously. Moreover, you should be able to disclose all the reasons for the refusal so that the person is well-informed of the situation. Finally, you should be able to provide alternatives to the customer, as this might allow him to continue having business with you.

Assume again that the cost of capital is 7 percent and the effective tax rate is 40 percent. How would the payback, internal rat

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

If the effective tax rate increases then the net savings coming from investments will get lowered as a result the investment will have higher payback period (The increase in effective tax rate would lower demand of the product which means there is decline in net saving arising from the sale of the product). Likewise this decrease in annual net savings will also decrease the internal rate of return which shows that their are increased chances of project rejections. The NPV method is based on cash flows and relevant costing just like IRR and payback method but the only difference is that it assumes that the cash earned would be reinvested at cost of capital. The NPV will also decrease due to increased effective tax rate.
