Dustup, a cleaning products company, was trying to revive its old wood floor waxing product. It began offering an augmented serv

ice of a small brochure called "Ask a Wood Floor Expert" to its bottles. The brochure included information and a customer support hotline. However, shoppers removed the brochure from bottles in the store, so few bottles were purchased. At the same time, Dustup began receiving a flood of calls to its hotline. This increased Dustup’s costs 30% over projections. What question did the company forget to ask before launching its add-on?

Answer:

Dustup forgot to the consumers if the add-on will give them more satisfaction from using their product.  

Explanation:

The market is always king. Getting first-hand information about what consumers need and how they need it is the best way to go about creating a product or modifying an existing one to become more profitable.

The removal of the brochures from the bottles showed that shoppers didn't necessarily want their product. What they wanted was to be able to make contact with the company and get more information on how to revive their old wooden floors.

Cheers!

Equipment was purchased for $68,000 on January 1, 2013. Freight charges amounted to $2,800 and there was a cost of $8,000 for bu
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

a. $26,720

Explanation:

Before computing the accumulated depreciation, first we have to compute the original cost of the equipment, after that the depreciation expense. The calculation is shown below:

Original cos t = Equipment purchase cost + freight charges + installment charges

= $68,000 + $2,800 + $8,000

= $78,800

Now the depreciation expense under the straight-line method is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ estimated life in years

= ($78,800 - $12,000) ÷ 5 years

= $13,360

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= Depreciation expense × number of years

= $13,360 × 2 years

= $26,720

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 1800 units, the actual direct
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The per-unit standards for direct labor are 2 direct labor hours at $15 per hour. If in producing 1800 units, the actual direct labor cost was $48000 for 3000 direct labor hours worked.

We need to calculate the total direct labor variance, using two formulas:

Direct labor efficiency variance= (SQ - AQ)*standard rate

Direct labor efficiency variance= (1,800*2 - 3,000)*15= $9,000 favorable

Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity

Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 48,000/3,000)*3,000= $3,000 unfavorable

Total direct labor variance= 9,000 - 3,000= $6,000 favorable

- Name the six business management perspectives that go beyond planning, controlling, and decision making?
wel

Answer 4:

Following are the six business management perspective:

  1. Ethical Stance
  2. Strategic aspects of the decision
  3. Risk Management
  4. CSR Aspect
  5. Process Management Aspects
  6. Leaders Perspective

Answer 5:

IMA stands for Institute for Management Accountants.

The IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice has listed following four standards for the professionals who are member of IMA to comply with:

  1. Competence: The member must be competent in his role in accordance to his experience, skills, knowledge, complying laws & regulation and always acting ethically.
  2. Confidentiality: Must not breach the confidentiality implied duty on him except in situations when disclosure of information is mandatory by law.
  3. Integrity: Must be straight forward and there must be no self interest in his dealings with the company and must considerably reduced.
  4. Credibility: Communicate the results with unbiased decision making.

Answer 6:

Because freedom does not means that our self interest is everything. We owe duty of care to people who rely on our acts. An accountant, auditor or internal auditor must act ethically or universally that benefits everyone without breaking the laws and ethical duties imposed by the professional bodies. If we go back to Enron case, we see that the External auditor was not acting in the public interest and as a result Enron which was the world's first $100 billion dollars company collapsed. The collapse of Enron bankrupt many pension companies which further affected the lives of the ordinary person in the USA. Furthermore, due to collapse of Enron, a lot of people withdraw the amount invested in Stock exchange. Dozens of companies and millions of people suffered from this unethical behaviour of professionals.

Answer 7:

Corporate Social Responsibility means that the company is just like an human being and its operations must not harm the environment, so this the least duty which the stakeholders expect from them. Being a good social beings, the companies must try to stable the environment situation in its surrounding and wherever its stakeholders live. For Example, The refinery companies have stopped poluting the oceans with their oil spills, now they have opted to newest technology that will eliminate the harmful effects of their oil spills and bring stability in the environment.

Another example includes the lower usage of natural resources. In UK it is the companies responsibility to reduce its natural resources usage which will lower the pollution. This additional care has a cost and may lead to lower competitiveness of the products so there must be a law globally that enforces to act socially responsible.

Warnes Motors' stock is trading at $20 a share. Three-month call options with an exercise price of $20 have a price of $1.50. Wh
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

B. The price of the call option will increase by less than $2, but the percentage increase in price will be more than 10%.

Explanation:

Given

Trading price = $20

Exercise price of call option = $20

Call option price = $1.50

Price increment = 10% to $22

It's not be noted that the discounted present value of a price of an option is represented by its expected payoff.

An increment of $2 in stock price attracts an increment of more than $2 in the payoff option.

Having highlighted that, it's also to be noted that the increment in expected payoff will be by an amount less than $2 and same with present value because the possibility is less than 1. So, the price of the option will increase by less than $2.

Moving to the percentage increase;

This will be larger than 10%.

This is because when stock price increases by 10%, the value of the option will increase by more than 10%.
