Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. B

oth are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources.

Ben, a product manager at SunRise Juice Co., is having a hard time choosing the wording for a new ready-made fruit smoothie prod
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

  • I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.

Explanation:

<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.

Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.

Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think  they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>

Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.

This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.

I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.

I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling  in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.

Margaret Williams, production manager at Williams Manufacturing, finds her profits at $15,000 inadequate for her business. The b
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

22.22%

Explanation:

The calculation of percentage in sales is shown below:-

Increase in profit required = $25,000 - $15,000

= $10,000

To achieve a profit $10,000, the required sales increases

= $10000 ÷ 18%

= $55,555.55

Percentage increase in sale = Required sales ÷ Sales of current situation

= $55,555.55 ÷ $250,000

= 22.22%

So, for computing the percentage increase in sales we simply applied the above formula.

Parsons Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Actual direct labor hours= 32,750 hours

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual overhead= $250,000 in actual manufacturing overhead cost. Overapplied overhead= $12,000 for the year.

The predetermined overhead rate was $8.00 per direct labor-hour

We need to reverse engineer the manufacturing overhead application process for the period.

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

If overhead was overapplied, the real overhead was lower than applied.

-12,000= 250,000 - allocated overhead

allocated overhead= $262,000

Now, we can determine the actual direct labor hours for the period:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

262,000= 8*Actual amount of allocation base

Actual direct labor hours= 32,750 hours

A recent income statement of McClennon Corporation reported the following data:
arsen [322]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The number of units of output sold is 8,000 .

The sales revenue is $9,600,000 .

The variable costs are $6,000,000 .

The fixed costs are $2,600,000.

The price of the product

= \frac{Sales\ Revenue}{Q}

= \frac{9,600,000}{8,000}

= $1,200

The average variable cost is

= \frac{TVC}{Q}

= \frac{6,000,000}{8,000}

= $750

Profit =  TR - TC

Profit = Price\ \times\ Q - (AVC\ \times\ Q )\ +\ TFC)

$1,270,000 = $1,200Q - $750Q - $2,600,000

$3,870,000 = $450Q

Q = \frac{3,870,000}{450}

Q = 8,600 units
