Answer:

This is an example of the shoe leather cost

Explanation:

The shoe leather cost refers to the cost of the time and effort put to reduce the amount of cash to avoid losing the value of the money when there is a high inflation. In these circumstances, people try to buy things immediately or change the money to another currency as quick as possible because as time passes the currency loses its value and this is what Carlos is experiencing.

Year  Cash flow    PV factor   Present Value

0       ($490,000)       1              ($490,000)

1         $40,000       0.909         $36,360

GaryK [48]

Answer: A. Departments with more employees are allocated earlier.

Explanation:

In the sequential method, it should be noted that a company allocates the service costs one department at a time. Once the service department cost is allocated by the accountants, the department won't get any other costs from the other service departments.

The statement that is false about the order in which management determines the sequencing of support department allocations under the sequential method of allocating support department costs to production departments is that the departments with more employees are allocated earlier.

Under the sequential method, the department costs that are allocated earlier include having an accurate cost drivers, having a higher cost, or having a large number of support.

Investing $2,000,000 in TQM's Channel Support Systems initiative will at a minimum increase demand for your products 3.0% in thi
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct answer (14 Months)

Explanation:

Given data

Investing in TQM = $2,000,000

Minimum rise in demand = 3.0 %

Last year’s sales = $163,508,343

As per the given data next year sales is increased by 3.0%. So, 3.0% of last year sales

=> 0.03 × $163,508,343 = $4,905,250.29 ~= $4,905,250

Income added to the bottom line = 34.1% of increased demand

=> 0.341 × $4,905,250 = $1,672,690.25~= $1,672,690

Payback on the initial $2,000,000 TQM investment can be attained in a period and can be computed by using the formula

=> (Investment in TQM / Revenue added to the bottom line) × 12

=> ($2,000,000 / $1,672,690) ×12 = 14.34 ~ = 14 Months

One of the three economic questions deals with deciding what goods and services should be produced. what the costs of production
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is What Goods and Services should be produced.

Explanation:

The problem ‘what to produce’ can be divided into two related questions. First, which goods are to be produced and which not; and second, in what quantities those goods, which the economy has decided to produce, are to be produced. If productive resources were unlimited we could produce as many numbers of goods as we liked and, therefore, the question “What goods to be produced and what not” would not have arisen. But because resources are in fact scarce relative to human wants, an economy must choose among different alternative collections of goods and services that it should produce.

If the Society decides to produce particular goods in a larger quantity, it will have to withdraw resources from the production of some other goods. Further, an economy has to decide how much resources should be allocated for the production of consumer goods and how much for capital goods. In other words, an economy has to decide the respective quantities of consumer goods and capital goods to be produced.

The choice between consumer goods and capital goods involves the choice between the present and the future. If the society decides to produce more capital goods, some resources will have to be taken away from the production of consumer goods and. therefore, the production of consumer goods would have to be cut down. But greater amount of capital goods would make possible the production of larger quantities of consumer goods in the future. Thus, we see that some current consumption has to be sacrificed for the sake of more consumption in the future.
