Answer:

Explanation:

1. Fixed Costs = 160,000

Pretax income = 164,000

Total contribution desired = 324,000 [160,000+164,000]

CM Ratio = 0.25

Sales = 324,000/0.25 = 1,296,000

2. Variable costs = Sales - Fixed costs - Pretax income = 1,296,000 - 160,000 - 164,000 = 972,000

So Total Sales amount to $1,296,000 and Variable cost is $972,000

Answer:

1. $1,296,000

2. $972,000

Explanation:

The pretax income is the difference between the total sales and total expense (excluding tax). The total expense is the sum of the fixed and variable expense.

Both total sales and variable cost have a unit value and are determined by the level of activities. Contribution margin is the difference between the total sales and the variable cost.

The difference between the contribution margin and the fixed cost gives the pretax income.

Hence contribution margin

= $160,000 + $164,000

= $324,000

Contribution margin ratio is the ratio of contribution to sales.

0.25 = $324000/sales

Sales = $1,296,000

Variable cost = $1,296,000 - $324,000

= $972,000

Whispering Winds Corp. uses the periodic inventory system and reports the following for the month of June.
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

a 1) FIFO

Closing Inventory = $1,760

Cost of Goods sold = $11,264

2) LIFO

Closing Inventory = $1,056

Cost of Goods sold = $11,968

b) FIFO gives the higher ending inventory than LIFO because the oldest items and lowest costs are allocated to the cost of goods sold.

c) LIFO results in higher cost of Goods sold because latest cost are allocated to the cost of goods sold and latest cost may include price increases.

Explanation:

FIFO

Closing inventory = 176 units * $10= $1760

Cost goods sold = 352 units + 704+528 -176 =1,408 units sold

from opening $2,112

12 June   = $5632

23 June   = ( 528-176) =352 units * 10 =3,520

total sold = $11,264

LIFO

Closing inventory = 176 units * 6 = $1,056

Cost goods sold =  352 units + 704+528 -176 =1,408 units sold

23 June = $5,280

12 June = $5,632

1 June  = (352-176) = 176 *6 = $1,056

Total = $11,968

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

What is the purpose of unconscious bias training? include an example of how unconscious bias training can affect who gets to att
Digiron [165]

Training on unconscious prejudice has become a well-liked method of diversity education. Such training is intended to help people recognize their unconscious prejudices, provide them tools to change automatic thought processes, and ultimately aid in the eradication of discriminatory practices in the workplace.

Demonstrations of how the mind functions in ways that are outside of our awareness and control are frequently the first step in unconscious bias training.

These examples demonstrate how people unintentionally form judgments based on factors like gender or ethnicity. Unconscious bias training is one of the diversity training techniques that has more and more support.

Attending such training may help people learn more about themselves that they might not have otherwise known. They might therefore be more aware of how their biases affect how they interact with others.
