As a result of this budget report, Joe was called into the president's office and congratulated on his fine sales performance. He was reprimanded, however, for allowing his costs to get out of control. Joe knew something was wrong with the performance report that he had been given. However, he was not sure what to do, and comes to you for advice.

Prepare a budget report based on flexible budget data to help Joe. (List variable costs before fixed costs. Do not leave any answer field blank. Enter 0 for amounts.)

                                    Budget     Actual      Variance      Comment

Sales in units              10,000      10,000        0                  Neither

Flexed Variable Expenses:

Sales Commission     $2,400     $2,400       0                  Neither

Advertising Exp.         $1,200        $900        $300           Favorable

Total Variable            $9,900    $8,600        $1,300          Favorable

Fixed Expenses:

Rent                           $1,700      $1,700         0                   Neither

Sales Salaries            $1,100      $1,100          0                   Neither

Total  Expenses     $13,900    $12,600         $1,300          Favorable

Explanation:

a) Budgeted Variable Costs were flexed as follows:

i) Sales Commission = $1,872/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,400

ii) Advertising Expenses = $936/7,800 x 10,000 = $1,200

iii) Travel Expense = $3,120/7,800 x 10,000 = $4,000

iv) Free Samples = $1,794/7,800 x 10,000 = $2,300

b) The fixed costs could not be flexed as they remain invariable no matter the activity level.

c) Flexible budget is a budget that adjusts or flexes with changes in volume or activity.  It is a more accurate way of assessing performance because it is based on actual volume or activity level unlike a static budget, which remains unchanged.

Jean Jaques Rousseau
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (<span>/<span>ruːˈsoʊ</span>/</span>;[1] French: [ʒɑ̃ʒak ʁuso]; 28 June 1712 – 2 July 1778) was a Genevan philosopher, writer, and composer of the 18th century, mainly active in France. His political philosophy influenced the Enlightenment across Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the overall development of modern political and educational thought.

Rousseau's novel Emile, or On Education is a treatise on the education of the whole person for citizenship. His sentimental novel Julie, or the New Heloisewas of importance to the development of pre-romanticism[2] and romanticism in fiction.[3] Rousseau's autobiographical writings—his Confessions, which initiated the modern autobiography, and his Reveries of a Solitary Walker—exemplified the late 18th-century movement known as the Age of Sensibility, and featured an increased focus on subjectivity and introspection that later characterized modern writing. His Discourse on Inequality and The Social Contract are cornerstones in modern political and social thought.

During the period of the French Revolution, Rousseau was the most popular of the philosophes among members of the Jacobin Club. He was interred as a national hero in the Panthéon in Paris, in 1794, 16 years after his death.

How is the advancement of technology blurring the lines between humans and non- humans?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

As robotics quickly advance, scientists say the lines between robots and humans is beginning to blur.

That means one day with robotic prosthetics that work seamlessly with a human's muscles, with tiny robots that swim in our blood streams and fix medical problems and nano-scale robots implanted in our brains, we will become robotic humans.

As scary and sci-fi as that may sound, researchers say robotics will cure diseases, make amputees feel whole again and greatly extend our lives

Lelu [443]

Answer:

The correct answer is:  $1,000,000 (one million dollars).

Explanation:

The Real Estate Recovery fund is the poll of money collected to refund people who have been affected somehow by real state brokers or salespeople. Fraud, misrepresentation or deceit are considered for his purpose and it is given only when no benefit can be provided to the person affected after court. If the amount implied is greater than $1,000,000 (one million dollars) the Real Estate Recovery Fund is unable to provide any reimbursement aid.
