Answer:

$529.34 favorable and $1,111 unfavorable

Explanation:

The computation of the direct labor rate variance is shown below:  

= Actual Hours × (Actual rate - standard rate)  

= 3,781 hours × ($41,066 ÷ 3,781 hours  - $11 per hour)  

= 3,781 hours  × ($10.86 per hour  - $11 per hour)  

= $529.34 favorable

And, the efficiency variance is

= (Standard hours - Actual hours) × standard rate

where,

Standard hours is

= 18,400 units × 0.2

= 3,680 hours

Actual hours is 3,781 hours

So, the efficiency variance is

= (3,680 hours - 3,781 hours) × $11

= $1,111 unfavorable

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

1.74%

Explanation:

                               17% Debt       50% Debt

Sales                      $500,000      $500,000

Less: Cost              $450,000      $450,000

Less: Interest         <u>$5,546</u>           <u>$17,400</u>

Profit before tax   $44,454        $32,600

Less: Tax at 35%  <u> $15,559</u>          <u>$11,410</u>

Net Income           <u> $28,895</u>        <u>$21,190</u>

Equity                     $361,050        $217,500

Return on Equity   8.00%             9.74%

Change in ROE = 9.74% - 8.00% = 1.74%

Workings

Interest (17% Debt) = 43,500*17%*7.5% = $5,546

Interest (50% Debt) = 43,500*50%*8% = $17,400

Tax (17% Debt) = $44,454 * 0.35 = 15,559

Tax (50% Debt) = $32,600 * 0.35 = 11,410

Equity (17% Debt) =435,000*83% = 361,050        

Equity (50% Debt) = 435,000*50% = $217,500

Return on Equity = $28,895/$361,050 = 8.00%

Return on Equity = $21,190/$217,500 = 9.74%

How should an organization design its structure and culture to obtain a core competence in manufacturing and in research and dev
nekit [7.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

core competency of an organization comprise it's multiple resource, capabilities and skills that gives it a competitive advantage in the market. It was originated in management theory by C. K. Prahalad and Gary Hamel.

For an organization to have core competencies in manufacturing and also research and development putting it's organizational structure and culture to use, it has to:

create a flexible and somewhat independent structure for it's research and development department such that innovation is easy. Control must be decentralized and the team must come first

For the manufacturing department, an organic and participative approach should be encouraged. This would allow inclusive management such that workers are included in decision making processes. Managers should also be given more independence while workers should increasingly be empowered

the organization should also take stringent measures in employing the right people for the research and development as well as the manufacturing department such that these individuals are qualified and possess the needed expertise for their areas. Staff should equally be empowered through constant education and new skill acquisitions and be allowed to impart this knowledge on other staff by encouraging transfers in global expansion.

BigorU [14]

Answer:

industrial products

Explanation:

A company that does this and mostly favors a push strategy is usually selling industrial products. That is because a push strategy focuses on taking the product to the potential customer and showing them how it works as well as how it can benefit them, therefore pushing the product on them. Industrial Products are great for such a strategy since they require actual demonstration and can easily show the potential customer the actual value that the product can provide.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Amy is <em>concerned </em>with her​ organization's i<em>nability to solve problems</em> quickly. Several <u>subordinates have complained</u> to her that they feel alienated from the management <u>making the decisions</u> about their jobs with<u> no input </u>from them.

The element that Amy should address is the Chain of command.

Explanation:

A chain of command is a system for sending inside information of organizations with strong, vertical and authoritative structures.

The continuous flow of the chain of command clearly establishes the authority, revealing this depending on who reports to whom.

We must take into account the Authority and the Unit of command. This last is very important because it states that each supervisor must inform only one superior and like this the company preserves the continuous line of authority so all employees are heard and their ideas are taken into consideration for making decisions.
