<span>Lead-the-market pay strategies.
An employer may choose to establish an internal compensation strategy that is in excess of the pay rates in the prevailing marketplace. This compensation strategy may increase the supply of candidates, increase selection rates of qualified applicants, decrease employee turnover, increase morale and productivity, or prevent unionization efforts. However, prior to implementing a lead compensation strategy, an organization should carefully consider what benefits it expects to realize from such a strategy, keeping in mind that this type of structure has the greatest propensity of increasing overall labor costs.</span>

In order to calculate the joint cost of Gorp we need to understand what the method means and how it's used to calculate it. The adjusted sales method is used to allocate joint costs based on the prices the products are sold.
First of all we need to calculate the percentage of Selling price of Gorp to that of the total selling price of both Gorp and Gumm.
I.e: 60 ÷ (60+30) × 100
SP % of Gorp= 66.67%
Now we calculate joint cost allocated to Gorp.
Total joint cost of both Gorp and Gumm = $480000
Joint cost of Gorp = $480000 × 66.67%
Joint cost of Gorp = $320,000
Answer:
Explanation:
South Tel Communications is considering the purchase of a new software management system. The system is called B-image, and it is expected to drastically reduce the amount of time that company technicians spend installing new software. South Tel's technicians currently spend 6,000 hours per year on installation which cost South Tel $25 per hour. The owners of the B-image system claim that their software can reduce time on task by at least 25%. The system requires an initial investment of $55,000 and an additional investment of$10,000 for technician training on the new system. Annual upgrades will cost the firm $15,000 per year. Because the investment is comprised of software, it can be fully expensed in the year of the expenditure (no depreciation). South Tel faces a 30% tax rate and uses a 9% cost of capital to evaluate projects of this type.
A. Assuming that South Tel has sufficient taxable income from other projects so that it can immediately expense the cost of the software, what are the free cash flows for the project for years zero through five?
Total (65,000)
Cash flow year 1 - 5
Saving on installations per year 450,000
Less: Annual upgrades ( 15,000)
Total 435,000
Less: Tax (30%) (130,500);
Total project free cash flow 304,500.answer
Answer:
$245,000.00
Explanation:
The amount of sales revenue to be made to achieve target profit is computed as follows:
<em>Sales revenue to achieve target income</em>
<em>= Total fixed cost for the period + target profit/ contribution margin</em>
Contribution margin = (Sales - variable cost) / sales × 100
The figure has been given as 40% in the question
Sales revenue to achieve target profit = (83,000 + 15,000)/0.4
$245,000.00
Watson Company has monthly fixed costs of $83,000 and a 40% contribution margin ratio. If the company has set a target monthly income of $15,000, what dollar amount of sales must be made to produce the target income?
Sales revenue to achieve target profit = $245,000.00
