Answer:
The correct answer is E. Share of customer.
Explanation:
Customer participation reflects the way in which customers take part in the process and the degree to which they participate. It is especially important for many service processes, particularly if the contact with the customer is (or should be) high. A good starting point to increase customer participation is to make the process more visible to the customer. Allowing customers to see what normally remains hidden from their view is part of Harvey’s service design, a Canadian chain of fast food restaurants. There you can see the workers in a sanitary and orderly workplace roasting the meat, and one can choose the type of additional ingredients you want. An even bolder step is to allow customers to participate in selected backroom processes, in order to turn them into shown processes.
Answer:
Tatum Company
1. The carrying value of inventory at December 31, 2021, assuming the LCNRV rule is applied to individual products is:
= $ 303,000
2. Adjusting Journal Entry:
Debit Cost of Goods Good $38,000
Credit Inventory $38,000
To write-down the value of ending inventory.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Product Total Cost Total Net Realizable Value LCNRV
101 $ 136,000 $ 108,000 $ 108,000
102 99,000 118,000 99,000
103 68,000 58,000 58,000
104 38,000 58,000 38,000
Total $ 341,000 $ 342,000 $ 303,000
Write-down:
Cost of inventory = $341,000
LCNRV of inventory 303,000
Inventory write-down $38,000
Each unit sells: $80
Each unit costs to make: $32
Fixed costs: 72,000
Goal: 2,000 units sold
If they meet their goal, let's see how that would go:
(2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
160,000 - 64,000 - 72,000 = 24,000
24,000 is the profit they would make for hitting their goal.
Question 1:
What is the break-even point? The break-even means they make no money, but they also lose no money. So that final number (24,000) would be 0 instead. How many units would they have to make to hit zero?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 = 0.
80x - 32x = 72,000
48x = 72,000
x = 1500 units
We can verify by using our first formula we've already determined, using this new value for units.
(1,500* 80) - (1,500 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
120,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 = 0? True!
Question 2: If they increase their expenses by 16,000, what is their new break even point?
(x * 80) - (x * 32) - 72,000 - 16000 = 0.
80x - 32x - 88000 = 0
48x = 88000
x = 1833
Question 3: 10% reduction in selling price and 10% increase in sales. (Assuming based off the original formula the problem provided.)
Original: (2,000 * 80) - (2,000 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
10% Reduction in price: 8
80-8 = 72
10% increase in sales: 200
2000 + 200 = 2200
Plugin to our formula:
(2200 * 72) - (2200 * 32) - 72,000 = ?
158400 - 70400 - 72,000 = 16,000
Since this number is positive, this is income. (D)
