Requirement (a)

The cost benefit analysis will be suitable here for short term decision making.

Cost Benefit Net

Increase in Fixed Cost (W-1) ($5000) ($5000)

Increase in Total Contribution (W-2) $2700 $2700

Net Decrease in Operating Income ($5000) $2700 ($2300)

Working 1 The net increase in the fixed cost is $5000 which is given in the requirement (a).

Working 2 Net increase in Total contribution by increasing the monthly advertising expense by $5000 is:

30% * $9000 = $2700

Requirement (b)

As the net difference is a decrease in operating income by $2300 so it is not a suitable option for the company.

Requirement 2

Again here we will appraise the suitability of the option by using cost benefit analysis.

Cost Benefit Net

Increase in T.Variable Cost (W-3) ($4400) ($4400)

Increase in Total Contribution (W-4) $1000 $1000

Net Decrease in Operating Income ($4400) $1000 ($3400)

Decision: As the net difference is $3400 negative so it is better that we don't opt to increase the component cost by $2.

Working 3 The net increase in the Total Variable cost is:

Increase in Total Variable cost = $2 net increase in variable cost per unit * total units after opting to higher quality components

Increase in Total Variable cost = $2 * (2000*110%) = $4400

Working 4 Net decrease in contribution per unit is $2 as a result of increasing the Variable cost per unit by $2.

Due to the increase in the total number of units sold the total contribution will increase if the difference of contribution on increased units and contribution on older number of units is positive.

Total Contribution after taking the decision to increase variable cost by $2 is:

Total contribution = 2000 * 110% * $(27-2) = $55000

Total Contribution before taking the decision to increase variable cost by $2 is:

Total contribution = 2000 * $27 = $54000

So the Net difference is $1000 positive (55000-54000).

In the context of the controlling function of management, employees are motivated to improve their performance when ____

maw [93]

Answer:

The correct answer is the performance is measured.

Explanation:

Any control necessarily implies the comparison of the obtained with the expected, but such comparison can be made at the end of each period, preset, that is, when it has already been seen if the obtained results did not reach, matched, exceeded or departed from what What did you expect? Such a procedure constitutes control over the results. Control can be considered as the arrest or correction of variations. The importance of the results obtained by the award-winning activities is likely to cause some errors, loss of effort and cause unjustified deviations from the objective pursued. It is important to keep in mind that the purpose of control is positive, it is to make things happen through planned activities.

Mazyrski [523]

<h2>Be motivated to learn</h2>

Explanation:

be motivated to learn : This would be right choice. The reason is that, the gap is because we need to learn some more to reach the expectation of employer. So learning should be life long.

share diverse experiences: Sharing experience does not fill the gap, only proving fills it.

have a high level of energy and an orientation toward action: This seems to be closer, but learning stands first and then putting into action.

believe in personal control of destiny: Self-belief is always essential, but only learning can fill the gap.

seek high levels of achievement: High level of achievement can be done only through learning.

Hi there

income from operations=
Sales-(fixed+variable) cost

So we need to variable cost
Variable cost=
Sales-Contribution margin

Contribution margin=
2,100,000×0.35
=735,000

Variable cost=2,100,000−735,000
=1,365,000

Income from operation
2,100,000−(400,000+1,365,000)
