C. Employees value the rewards or incentives that are being offered

Explanation:

Let's see the different options for answer...

A. Performance measures are to be linked to the individual's goals

No. Even if the performance measures should be linked to the individual's goals, just the mere existence of such KPI is not sufficient to motivate employees. There has to be some performance reward attached to it.

No. They won't be motivated if they don't think they have the means to achieve those goals.

During 2019, Travis purchases $13,000 of used manufacturing equipment (7-year property) for use in his business, his only asset

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$13,000

Explanation:

Most property purchased during 2019 and beyond, may be expenses using Section 179 tax deductions. The limit for 2019 was $1 million and that is way more than $13,000. Section 179 is one of the few benefits that small business got from the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, and it can be really useful.

Businesses can deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment (used manufacturing equipment qualifies) as long as it was purchased after January 1, 2019. This is an incentive created to encourage businesses to buy more equipment and invest more.

A business operated at 100% of capacity during its first month, with the following results: Sales (90 units) $90,000 Production

umka21 [38]

Answer:

d.$18,900

Explanation:

Gross Profit is the net of Sales value and production cost in the period for the units sold. Under absorption costing all the direct and indirect costs incurred in the production of products are included in the total production cost. As the cost is available for 100 units produced we need to calculate the cost of 90 unit and deduct this cost from the sales value to determine the gross profit and then deduct the operating expenses to calculate the operating income.

Sales (90 units) $90,000

Less: Production costs:

Direct materials ( $40,000 x 90/100 ) $36,000

Direct labor ( 20,000 x 90/100 ) $18,000

Variable factory overhead ( 2,000 x 90/100 ) $1,800

Fixed factory overhead ( 7,000 x 90/100 ) $6,300

Total Production cost ($62,100)

Gross Profit $27,900

Less Operating expenses:

Variable operating expenses $8,000

Fixed operating expenses $1,000

($9,000)

Operating Income $18,900
