Answer:

b. $60,000

Explanation:

Implicit cost is the cost which is not shown as a cost in the statement of income.

As it includes basically the opportunity cost.

This will include:

Salary foregone = $45,000

Entrepreneurial skills income = $5,000

Interest on bonds foregone = $100,000 \times 10% = $10,000

Thus, total implicit cost = $45,000 + $5,000 + $10,000 = $60,000

e - 6 Incremental

f - 1 Recurring

g - 7 Direct

b) <em>Opportunity costs</em> are those that try to measure and show the sacrifice done at the time of making a decision when that sacrifice represents the best second option that the person could have done.

c) <em>Fixed costs</em> are those that are always the same amount and do not change with the activity level of the production of the company.

d) <em>Variable costs</em> are those that do change with the amount of activity level that the company has during the production process.

e)<em> Incremental costs</em> are those that increase the cost level of the production while the output level increases as well, so they are a concept on the margin.

f) <em>Recurring costs</em> are those that tend to repete continously in the production process so the company already know how much the amount of the cost is.

g) <em>Direct costs</em> are those that the company associates with the production process regarding the commodities and all the primary sources that are needed to produce the good and therefore that they impact directly in the production and in the cost of the final product.

h) <em>Non-recurring</em> costs are those that the company are not familiar with due to the fact that they do not repete often and therefore tend to happen once in a while.

Answer:

Employees frequently complain about the inconsistent assistance they receive from the HR department due to its large size.

Explanation:

Having a specialized, embedded HR unit is beneficial to each, specific unit, as  HR would cater to every department and its special needs. On the contrary, centralized HR tends to give inconsistent help, as they always assign a different person or team when a problem arises.

So, if the employees complained that they cannot receive adequate help from the centralized HR, it would be wise to do what Roberta suggested.

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the weighted average contribution margin ratio is shown below:

The Contribution margin ratio is

= (Combined contribution ) ÷ (Sales)

= ($60,000 + $180,000) ÷ ($1,000,000)

= ($240,000) ÷ ($1,000,000)
