Answer:
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
Explanation:
To determine whether or not Cork Company should accept the order, we will compare the variable cost of the order to the sales value . If the special order generates a positive contribution margin, then it should be accepted.'
The relevant cash flows to be considered here includes
1. Variable cost of the special order
2. Sales revenue from the special order.
Note that the fixed cost are general unavoidable costs which would be incurred either way. And therefore should not be considered .
variable cos per unit = 4.60 +1.00= 5.60
$
Sales revenue from special order
(7×6,000) 42,000
Variable cost (5.60× 6,000) <u> (33,600)</u>
Net income from special order <u> 8,400 </u>
A special order price that will produce a net income of zero is that which will make the Cork Company indifferent. And such price is that which equals to the variable cost of selling
Indifferent special order price = variable cost per unit = $5.60
Indifferent special order price=$5.60
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": the quantity demanded of cereal will increase.
Explanation:
According to the demand theory, as long as the quantity demanded increases, the price would decrease (the demand curve shifts to the right). The quantity demanded decreases when the price would increase (the demand curve shifts to the left).
In the example, as eggs and cereals are substitute products, if a disease kills a large number of chickens there will be fewer eggs supply in the market. Consumers will start looking for substitutes. Then, <em>the quantity demanded for cereal will increase</em> moving the <em>demand </em><u><em>curve</em></u><em> to the right</em>.
Answer:
1. "lack of documentation in the implementation project."
2. "resistance from end users for IS implementation."
Explanation:
Some of the general challenges of implementing change are:
1. Lack of Proper Planning.
2. Low Employee Morale.
3. Lack of Consensus.
4. Adopting New Technology.
5. Failing to Communicate.
6. Resistance
However from the scenario, we see two major challenges of IS implementation which also agrees with the general challenges of change management and implementation.
1. Lack of documentation in the implementation project: The issue of lack of documentation during implementation is in relation to 'lack of proper planning' because such documentation will be invaluable when it comes to training the staff about the change that has been implemented. Lack of implementation documentation will also lead to inability to communicate the progress of the implementation to Staff. In summary implementation documentation are necessary for understanding whatever change(s) will happen as a result of such project.
2. Resistance from end users for IS implementation: This is not a problem peculiar to this scenario but as can be seen from the general problems of implementing organisational change, 'resistance' is a problem.
Such resistance is caused by other factors like 'lack of communication' and 'lack of consensus'. Employees always do resist change because they are already used to the old way of doing things and possibly were not part of the decision to implement an IS.
These challenges can be addressed by staff engagement, staff training on the change and effective communication.
Answer:
$32.20
Explanation:
The computation of the value of the stock is shown below:
Dividend per share = $3
The Required rate of return = 15%
Return on equity = 13%
Dividend payout ratio = 60%
Based on the above information,
First we have to determine the growth rate which is
Growth rate = (1 - Div Payout ratio) × ROE
= (1 - 60%) × 13%
= 5.20%
Now the value of the stock is determined by using the Gordon model
= Last year dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
= $3 × (1 + 5.20%) ÷ (15% - 5.20%)
= $32.20
Answer and Explanation:
The stakeholders include:
1. The rush in preparing the financial statements for the quarter
2. The overstatement of an account by $1000 on either the debit or credit side of the trial balance
Ethical issues:
1. She has been dishonest by plugging a figures $1000 into a wrong account
2. There could be loss of cash as the difference of $1000 could be caused by a liability account
Alternatives:
1. A suspense account could have been opened for the difference of $1000 and plugged into the trial balance
2. An account with the difference $1000 unknown could have been opened
