Let x represent the number of packages Charlie needs to sell to make a monthly income of $5, 000 
Since he sells cookies only in packages of 10 then he has to sell 10x to make that income. But Charlie has expenses that has to be deducted from his total sales to make that figure.  
So the total expenses is $1, 500 in overhead and an extra $3.50 per material per package. So the total expenses = 1500 + 3.50x 
If he has to make $5, 000 at the end of the month we have
 10x - (1500 + 3.50x) = 5000
 10x - 1500 - 3.50x = 5000
 6.50x = 5000 + 1500 = 6500
 Solving we find:
 x = 1, 000 packages

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

$2,851

Explanation:

The above is an incomplete question. However, a similar question is as seen below

Dehner corporation uses a job order costing system with a single plant wide predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours. The company based its predetermined overhead rate for the current year on the following data.

Total direct labor hours 70,000

Total manufacturing fixed overhead cost $273,000

Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor hour $6.

Given that;

Number of units produced = 100

Direct labor hours = 100

Direct materials = $800

Direct labor cost = $10,700

The unit product cost for jobP951 is

Direct materials = $800

Direct labor cost= $10,700

Variable manufacturing overhead = $6 × 100 = $600

Total fixed manufacturing overhead = $273,000

Total cost = ($800 + $10,700 + $600 + $273,000) = $285,100

Unit product cost = $285,100 ÷ 100

Unit product cost = $2,851

Why is there an inherent conflict between planning and control uses of budgets?
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The main conflict that results between planning and control use of budgets is that managers might place their own personal interests before the interests of the company. This might result in budgets that are easily achievable (resulting in bonuses) or shifting income from one period to another in order to achieve certain budgets that will result in bonuses.

I will use a real life example that happened to me to explain this. I worked as a B2B sales representative for a large corporation (we were only 2 B2B salespeople + 1 manager) and when sales were slowing down, upper management would set up bonuses for achieving certain sales goals. The problem was that intentionally certain large sales that required management's approval were delayed and total sales would fall. Then suddenly the bonus show sup and all the large sales were approved and in two weeks the sales goals were achieved. Since B2B sales are not about selling to a lot of customers, but instead selling to the right customers a lot of products, a couple of delayed big sales made a huge difference and a 1% bonus meant changing your old car for a new one.

Assuming that a market research study will answer important questions and reduce uncertainty associated with the proposed projec
sesenic [268]

Answer:

C. Is top management committed to the study?

Explanation:

Yes, market research is very important for the organisations which can help them in finding new trends and patterns in their consumers, they can find out what are products which they need to launch further, which products are not performing well but the main question before starting the research process is that each and every single person of the organisation should take part in the whole process particularly the top level management should be agrees upon and committed to it otherwise the whole process will go in vain. Because when the top level will be committed, they not only by proving the resources needed for the research but also they will be happily implementing the research findings for the betterment of the organisation. Therefore, top management should be committed otherwise it will just be waste of time and efforts.
