JTM Ltd incurs costs of $16 per unit ($12 variable, $4 fixed) for a widget it sells for $22. JTM has received two special offers

: Firm A wants 10,000 units and Firm B wants 14,000 units. Both firms will sell the widgets for $17, and JTM has capacity to produce 12,000 additional units. From a cost perspective, what is the main difference between these two offers?

Answer:

We must analyze the potential benefits of choosing one order or the other one:

Current JTM costs:

  • $12 variable per unit
  • $4 fixed per unit

If JTM accepts Firm A's order its fixed costs will not vary and it will be able to increase its profits by: ($17 - $12) x 10,000 = $50,000

Since JTM doesn't have the capacity to fulfill Firm B's order with their current cost structure, if it decides to take it, its variable or fixed costs (we don't know which) will probably increase, so its contribution margin will no longer be $5, as with Firm A's order, but will probably be lower. We are not told by how much the costs would increase.

The third alternative is to accept Firm B's offer and not sell 2,000 units through its normal distribution channels, but that would result in an increase in profits but also loss of normal profits:

($5 x 14,000 units) - ($6 x 2,000 units for the lost normal profits) = $70,000 -  $12,000 = $58,000. If JTM is able to cancel the sale of 2,000 units, then Firm B's offer would increase its profits by $58,000, $8,000 more than Firm A's order, but it depends on its ability to cancel or not the normal sales.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

There is CEO duality

Explanation:

What is a CEO duality

CEO duality refers to the situation when the CEO also holds the position of the chairman of the board.

The board of directors is basically designed to keep an eye on managers such as the CEO on the behalf of the shareholders. They design compensation contracts and hire and fire CEOs. The benefit of having a dual CEO in the firm is because he or she  could work closely with the board to create value.

Christina in this sense is tryinb to bring more value to the firm and in ghe capacity of just the CEO her hands are tied. She probably wants more authority or power to do much more.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using straight line method is shown below:

Formula to be used:

= (Purchase cost - salvage value) ÷ (estimated service life)

For 2021

= ($35,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $3,000

For 4 months, it would be

= $3,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,000

And, for the year 2021, it would be the same i.e. $3,000

Answer: Bond holders                                          

                 

Explanation: In simple words, bondholders refers to the creditors of the organisation. The holders of the bond are not the owners as they are paid fixed interest and are not able to participate in the decision making of the company.

In the event of liquidation, bondholders are paid first because it is assumed that the decision makers should be punished for the liquidation and hence they should be paid at last.
