Answer:

Net income under variable costing would be $429,000.

Explanation:

Under the variable costing method the most important point to understand here is that fixed cost of the previous period ( 3000 units in this case ) would not be carried over to current period. Which means that the fixed cost and cost of goods sold be less now and the profit will increase.

NET INCOME =

SALES                                   = $ 1035,000  ( 23,000 X 45 )

(-) COST OF GOODS SOLD  = ($ 391,000) ( 23000 X 17 )

 ( We have multiplied 23,000 units by 17 because now those fixed cost of $5 are not carried forward to this period)

GROSS CONTRIBUTION MARGIN  = $1035,000 - $391,000

                                                          = $644,000

(-)VARIABLE SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = ($69,000)

 ( $115,000 X 60% )

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $644,000 - $69,000

                                           = $575,000

(LESS) FIXED COSTS          = ($146,000)   [ $100,000 + $46,000 ]

1) MANUFACTURING COST = 20,000 X $5

                                              = $100,000

2) SELLING AND ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES = $115,000 X 40%

                                                                                = $46,000

INCOME  = $575,000 - $146,000

                = $429,000

What is the difference between the personal contact model of communicating on the Web and the mass media approach?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Social media relates to all the technology that makes information sharing possible via the Internet. It is largely based on subject matter that users create and share.

Explanation:

Mass media approach: One-to-many

Personal contact approach: one-to-one.

Difference: Sellers are involved in mass media; buyers exchange information passively. Seller and buyer are both active on PC.

It is also the primary communication means used to meet the vast majority of the population. Newspapers, journals, radio, TV and the internet are the most prominent mass media channels.

b) Debit Capital- Benson $138,000 Credit Capital-Schmidt $138,000

c) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Credit Bank $138,000

d) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Debit Capital-Meir $28,500 Debit Capital-Lau $47,500 Credit Bank $214,000

e) Debit Capital-Benson $138,000 Debit Accumulated Depreciation $23,000 Credit Cash $30,000 Credit Equipment $70,000 Credit Capital-Meir $22,875 Credit Capital-Lau $38,125

Explanation:

a and b are the same with the same amount of capital transferred from one partner to another partner, it is just a matter of derecognizing Benson and recognize North or Schmidt.

c) Partner Benson is paid cash her capital,

d) decrease in meir's Capital = 214,000-138,000 = 76,000*3/8= $28,500

   Decrease in Lau's Capital Account = $76,000 5/8 = 47,500

Excess funds are taken from capitals or income summary account of the partnership which will affect the capitals of the remaining partners

e)  Meir's Capital = $138,000 -(70,000-23,000+30,000)

                            = $138,000-77,000

                           = $61,000*3/8 =$22,875

Lau = $61,000*5/8 =38,125

The Capital Accounts of the remaining partners will increase because of the gain made on buying out the leaving partner.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The correct answer is all of the above

Explanation:

Scrap or the rework costs are the costs which is incurred in order to repair the   items that are defective. And the decision to rework or scrap an item or product, ground on the benefits or advantage of the incremental costs.

If the reworked units generate or yield greater advantage or benefit rather than the selling them as scrap, then the decision to rework will be considered.

And if the decision of rework is taken, then the management should consider the incremental costs, revenue or profit from selling the defective units as scarp and the lost profit on selling and making the new units while the rework is performed.

A severe freeze has once again damaged the Florida orange crop. Explain the impact of the weather condition on the market for or
Elanso [62]

Answer:

Because the freeze has damaged the orange crop, the supply curve wil shift to the left, since suppliers now have less oranges available for sale.

This will cause the equilibrium quantity to fall, because there is less produce available, and the equilibrium price to rise, because all else being equal demand remains unaffected, and now, more consumers will scramble for a lesser amount of the good.

Upper management of a clothing store in the mall has decided that a good way to motivate employees is to consult with them about
sergey [27]

Answer:

Consider the following analysis.

Explanation:

The manager's assumption is that the employee work only for their own benefits and they need immediate punishment for poor work, intermediation, and minute-level supervision. This proves that he uses Theory X.

The upper management, on the other hand, is trying to initiate consultation with the employees before bringing out any improvement plan in the business process. This type of management style implicitly assumes that the employees are motivated and self-directed. This is Theory Y.

So, the first option should be correct.

Equity theory is something not contextual here. Equity theory works on the reduction of perceived inequality in the input and output of the employees as a means of motivation.
