What are the board directors in charge of

Visburg Concrete Company pours concrete slabs for single-family dwellings. Lancing Construction Company, which operates outside

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

$45,600 and yes

Explanation:

The computation of the contribution to profit from the special order is shown below:

= Sales revenue - Material cost - Labor cost

where,

Sales revenue = $3,300 × 40 slabs = $132,000

Material cost = $1,440 × 40 slabs = $57,600

Labor cost = = $7200 × 40 slabs = $28,800

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $132,000 - $57,600 - $28,800

= $45,600

The material and labor cost is a variable cost and the same is taken in the computation part

So, it should accept the special order

timurjin [86]

Answer: Three items will appear being;

2. Sale of delivery truck at book value

5. Sale of a debt security held as an available-for-sale investment

6. Collection of loan receivable.

Explanation:

The Investment Section of the Cash Flow Statement contains activities related to investment such as the buying or selling of fixed assets and the buying or selling of other company stocks or bonds.

Out of the above therefore, there are 3 activities that would fall under this section of the Cash Flow Statement.

They are;

2. Sale of delivery truck at book value.

- This refers to the sale of a Fixed asset and as such it goes to the investment section.

5. Sale of a debt security held as an available-for-sale investment.

- As a debt security of another firm that was considered available for sale, this goes to the Investment Section as well.

6. Collection of loan receivable.

- Finally, collection of loan receivable means that the company loaned money to another company making it an investment related cash inflow as it is a long term Investment income source.

A foreign company (whose sales will not affect cornish's market) offers to buy 3,000 units at $17.00 per unit. in addition to va

Marianna [84]

Trescott company had the following results of operations for the past year:

Sales (20,000 units at $22) $440,000

Direct materials and direct labor $200,000

Overhead (40% variable) 100,000

Selling and Administrative expenses (all fixed) 92,000 (392,000)

Operating income $ 48,000

A foreign company (whose sales will not affect Trescott's market) offers to buy 3,000 units at $17.00 per unit. In addition to the variable manufacturing costs, selling these units would increase fixed overhead by $500 and selling and administrative costs by $1,000. If Trescott accepts the offer, its profits will increase (decrease) by:

Answer : If Cornish accepts this order, its profits will increase by $13,500.

Calculation of Variable Costs per unit :

Direct Material and labor per unit = Total Direct Material and labor / No. of units sold

Direct Material and labor per unit =200000/20000 = $10

Variable Overhead per unit = Total Variable Overhead / No. of units sold

Variable Overhead per unit = (100000*0.4)/20000 = $2

Variable Cost per unit = $12 (Direct Material and labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit)

Selling price of new order = $17 per unit

No. of units = 3,000

Increase in Fixed Costs = Inc in fixed overhead + inc in S&A Expenses

Increase in Fixed Costs = $1500 (500 + 1000)

Total Cost of new order = (Variable Cost per unit * No. of units) + Increased Fixed Cost

Total Cost of new order = (12*3000) + 1500 = $37,500

Total Revenues from new order = Selling price per unit * No. of units sold

Total Revenues = $51,000 (17 *3,000)

Profit from new order = Total Revenues from new order - Total Cost of new order

Profit from new order = 51000 - 37500 = $13,500

How have embedded computers and the IoT impacted your daily life? What additional uses can you see yourself using? What security

Zigmanuir [339]

NOTE: Before discussing the impacts of embedded computers and the IoT, first, let me briefly explain what both of them are in simple words (without any complex jargon) for a better understanding.

Embedded computers are the programmable controllers (or loosely speaking, chips) designed to perform specific or dedicated tasks within a device. They take input (from sensors etc.), process it in a predefined steps (or instructions) and give an output.

The IoT, on the other hand, is the Internet of Things. It is the system of interconnected things that can communicate with one another directly over the network (internet). The word Things in the IoT incorporates an array of objects ranging from devices like digital and security cameras, wearable watches, GPS navigation systems, washing machines, refrigerators to buildings and even cities.

All in all, embedded computers enable the things with the automation capabilities, while the IoT empowers those things with the communication abilities.

(1) Impacts of Embedded Computers and the IoT

In the current era, almost all devices around us have embedded computer(s). Not only that, many of those devices have an ability to connect to the Internet through WiFi. The impacts of embedded computers and the IoT together can easily be understood by the some of the examples, as follows:

Nowadays, we have smart washing machines that not only be able to rinse, wash and dry clothes automatically, economically and efficiently—thanks to the embedded computers—but they can also be controlled remotely or can also send a notification to a mobile phone by the virtue of the IoT. It saves our energy (by automatically washing the clothes), our money (by efficiently using the detergent), resources (by rinsing and washing the clothes with the amount of water required—water conservation) and our time (by being controlled remotely or by sending a notification on a mobile phone when it’s done instead of us checking up its progress every ten minutes or so). In the past, however, laundry used to be done manually, which was not only a time consuming and tiring task, but it was also an ineffective way for the resource conservation.
Finding a nearby cab is now in the palm of our hands. Modern cab service providers, via their mobile applications, share the location of their cabs, in which the GPS navigation system (consists of GPS module and the embedded computer(s), connected with the internet). Hence, without any hassle, a nearby cab can be arranged and also at any time. The same applies on the most, modern bus services. Before that, one had to be physically on the road to find the cab with no surety of getting one. Now, beforehand, you can book your ride.
Smart door locking systems and smart security cameras inside or outside homes are able to notify the authorities or to the owners in the case of intrusion, and, thus, making lives and possessions safe and secure. Previously, although security cameras and locking systems were there, they couldn’t communicate with other devices (like mobile phones) remotely. A person had to be physically in the house to see the camera feed or to hear the intrusion alarm.
Embedded computers and the IoT is revolutionising the quality of life in terms of health. The IoT based smart-bands or watches can continuously monitor the blood pressure and heart rate in real time through the IoT based devices with embedded computers connected with the sensors. In the case of emergency, those IoT based devices send a notification to the emergency contacts. In the past, there was no way of checking your ECG at home—let alone the question of automatically sending ECG report to the emergency contacts.

In a nutshell, embedded computers and the IoT have impacted our daily lives in a meaningful and constructive way.

(2) Additional Uses

Well, this part of the question cannot be answered in a generic way; therefore, let me give you my opinion on that.

I am seeing myself using the IoT based learning devices like Google Nest thermostat. It uses machine learning to automatically set the optimal temperature of the home.

Ease: To change the temperature, there is no need to be physically there where the thermostat is installed.

Saving: It automatically turns off when there is no person in the home, which is a big plus for saving some extra bucks.

Furthermore, I can see myself using the smart IoT based weight machine that would warn me to stop getting out of shape based on my weight; in the case of non-compliance, it would send my weight as a post to all of my social media accounts. ;)

(3) Security or Other Risks

The privacy would be the major concern (and could be compromised with the usage of IoT). As in the IoT based systems, everything is connected to the internet. Therefore, all the cybersecurity risks and issues are applied on the IoT as well.

The more IoT based devices increase in number, the more the complexity of handling those devices would increase, which may become a bane instead of a boon to a user.
