Answer:

b. while the industry for cell phones with holographic keyboards will focus more on product innovation, the tablet industry will focus more on process innovation.

Explanation:

Industry cycle is the different stage that business operate, progress, prospect and slump within an industry. It consists of five stages which are — startup, growth, shakeout, maturity, and decline. These stages can last for different amounts of time, some can be months or years.

Since cell phones with holographic keyboards are at the early introductory start up stage of the business cycle, they will focus more on innovating to progress and produce product that will add value to the customer and accelerate growth.

The tablet industry on the other hand at the growth stage will focus more on process innovation; which means tablet computers manufacturers will implement new and significantly improved on production and delivery (including significant changes in techniques, equipment and/or software) since tablet computers are already enjoying profit in revenue and positive cashflow.

Assume that Superb Hancock uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) for inventory costing instead of the weighted-average inventory valua
icang [17]

Answer: $33,280

Explanation:

With FIFO, materials cost is added at the beginning.

Cost per unit of materials in production:

= 15,000 / 10,000

= $1.50

Cost per unit of conversion:

= 25,000 / Equivalent unit of production for conversion

Equivalent unit of production for conversion:

2,000 units were not transferred at the end of the month seeing as only 8,000 units were:

= 8,000 + (2,000 * 70%)

= 9,400 units

= 25,000 / 9,400

= $2.66

Amount transferred:

= 8,000 units * (Material cost + Conversion cost)

= 8,000 * (1.50 + 2.66)

= $33,280

Consider the following income statement for the Heir Jordan Corporation: HEIR JORDAN CORPORATION Income Statement Sales $49,000C
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Since the answer requires construction of a proforma income statement, please refer to the explanation section for the answer

Explanation:

The proforma invoice has been provided below. Sales have been increased by 18%. The question states that costs vary with sales therefore, the costs are kept at the same percentage of sales in the proforma. Costs as a percentage of sales in the question come out to 82%. Taxable income is Sales less Costs. Taxes are 22% of taxable income. Dividend payout ration is calculated by dividends paid divided by total income available to shareholders. Total income available to shareholders includes Net Income PLUS non cash charges (depreciation) MINUS Non Cash Sales. With the information given in the question, it is assumed that non cash charges and non cash sales are zero so the only income available to shareholders is the net income. Dividend payout in the question comes out to 35%.

Sales 57,820.00  

Costs   47,554.00                    

Taxable Income   10,266.00  

Taxes   2,258.52  

Net Income   8,007.48  

Dividend = Dividend payout ratio x Net Income: 0.35 x 8,007.48

So, Dividends =  2,832.00  

Addition in Retained earnings = Net Income - Dividend = 8,007.48 - 2,832

So, Addition in Retained earnings =  5,175.48
