The correct order is the following:

1.- Assess the current reality.

2.- Establish the mission and vision

3.- Formulate the grand strategy & strategic, tactical & operational plans

4.- Open choices for matching.

5.- Maintain strategic control.

Great leaders know that managers have to assess the current reality of the company, the competitors, and the economic situation of the company, as well as microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. Then, the strategic planning has to begin with the definitions of the mission and vision, as well as the values that will represent the moral "pillars" of the company. Then, it comes the formulating of goals, the strategies to reach the goals, followed by the tactics that will show the details on how to accomplish those goals.

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gro
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which  includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore  $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule,  Since her ordinary income is  $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

qd

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

                 = 14,382.50 + 4,320

                 = $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

                                              = $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50

Direct materials 178,000

Direct Labor. 380,000

Variable overhead. 104,000

Relevant fixed overhead 260,000

Unit price for make=922000/19900

Unit price=$46.33

Since buying outside is more cheaper than producing internally, it will be more profitable to outsource(buy).

Margin of safety in percentage  =  33.3 %

<em><u>Part f</u></em>

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

<u>Income Statement :</u>

<em>Sales - Expenses = Income</em>

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

<u>Contribution Margin ratio :</u>

<em>Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales</em>

                                          =  $1,728,000  ÷  $2,880,000

                                          = 0.6 or 60 %

<u>Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :</u>

<em>Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit</em>

                                        = $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

                                        = 8,000

<em>Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio</em>

                                            = $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

                                            = $1,920,000

<u>Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :</u>

<u />

<em>Margin of safety in dollars  = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)</em>

                                             =  $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

                                             =   $960,000

<em>Margin of safety in %       = (Expected Sales  - Break-even sales ) ÷ Expected Sales</em>

                                             = $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

                                             = 33.3 %

<u>Operating leverage</u>

<em>Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax</em>

                                  =  $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

                                  = 3.00
