WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, a report prepared for the manager of this profit center would show a favorable variance.

Explanation:

Revenue variance is the difference between the actual sales volume and the budgeted sales volume.

Revenue variance = Actual sales - Budgeted sales

Budgeted sales = $950000

Actual sales = $900000

Revenue variance = $900000 - $950000

= - $50000

Since the actual sales is lower than the budgeted sales, and the variance is negative, so the variance is unfavorable.

Cost variance is the difference between the budgeted expenses and the actual expenses.

Cost variance = Budgeted expenses - Actual expenses

Budgeted expenses = $600000

Actual expenses = $550000

Cost variance = $600000 - $550000

= $50000

Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, so the variance is favorable.

Therefore, Since the actual expenses is lower than the budgeted expenses, and the variance is positive, a report prepared for the manager of this profit center would show a favorable variance.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

1. What environmental, social, and political risks might arise in supply chain operations in Haiti?

An enviromental risk is another earthquake. Haiti is a very seismic country, and infraestructure quality is low: it can easily crumble down in the even of a strong earthquake (unlike other highly seismic countries with high quality infraestructure, for example: Japan).

A social risk is the possiblity of workers' revolts. The workers may feel exploited, or not at ease within the company, and decided to revolt. Haiti is a violent country, and the revolt could easily become a full-scale conflict that would result in the closing of most, of all of the firms associated with the supply chain.

A political risk is the possibility of property seizure by the government. Haiti does not rank high in government stability, judicial independence, or property rights protections. A new government could become authoritarian, and decide to seize the firms associated with the supply chain.

2. What are the foreseeable costs and benefits from supply chain operations in Haiti?

Low labor costs: the average per capita income in Haiti is $450, and the poverty rate is over 50%, while the underemployment rate is over 60%. This means that people are willing to work, and will work for very low wages, meaning lower costs accross the supply chain.

Untapped market: Even if Haiti is a very poor country, for the same reason it has a great potential to grow, since poor, developing countries tend to grow faster than advanced nations. If the economy of Haitin turns upwards, the firms along the supply chain will likely benefit from being the first in the new market.

3. How could you ensure that your company’s involvement would play a beneficial role in Haiti’s economic recovery?

Paying fair wages, following the country's laws, avoiding illegal practices such as bribing, and putting aside some of the company's income for social contributions such as donations to schools and hospitals (corporate social responsability).

asset's value = $29,200 / 40% = $73,000
