Answer:

C) the best workers may leave before the organization lays off anyone

Explanation:

Downsizing is something very challenging and specially difficult to perform. Many times, downsizing may reduce costs, but it also reduces total revenue and profits due to a loss in productivity and efficiency.

For example, once the company announces that it will start to downsize their workforce, many of the most efficient and productive workers may simply decide to leave the company and search for new jobs. When a company starts to lay off employees, no one is really 100% that they will not be fired, therefore most of the employees will start to actively seek other jobs. The most efficient and productive employees are also the most likely to find new jobs and they may decide to leave the company before getting fired.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

a. Incremental analysis.

b. Sunk cost.

c. Relevant information.

d. Opportunity cost.

e. Joint products.

f. Out-of-pocket cost.

g. Split-off point.

Explanation:

a. Incremental analysis: examination of differences between costs to be incurred and revenue to be earned under different courses of action.

b. Sunk cost: a cost incurred in the past that cannot be changed as a result of future actions. Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered.

c. Relevant information: costs and revenue that are expected to vary, depending on the course of action decided on. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.

d. Opportunity cost: the benefit foregone by not pursuing an alternative course of action. Opportunity cost also known as the alternative forgone, can be defined as the value, profit or benefits given up by an individual or organization in order to choose or acquire something deemed significant at the time.

e. Joint products: products made from common raw materials and shared production processes.

f. Out-of-pocket cost: a cost yet to be incurred that will require future payment and may vary among alternative courses of action.

g. Split-off point: the point at which manufacturing costs are split equally between ending inventory and cost of goods sold. Thus, it give rise to joint products that emerge from the same raw materials and a shared manufacturing process.

Hardy bond % change = -16.3%
