Question 1 What forces have caused cost and management accounting systems designed decades ago to become less relevant and less

sergey [27]

Answer to Question 1:

The forces that had lessened the importance of the cost and management accounting systems in today's dynamic world are as under:

The ancient bookkeeping and the costing techniques were very time consuming and the accounting systems were also not integrated with the financial accounting systems. Today we have very robust and integrated systems which helps the management of the business operations nation wide with greater security and better performance than the previous old versions.
The complexity of the organization operations have resulted in origination of additional management accounting techniques that were adapted in the form of automated software, that are used to produce management reports on daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. The examples include the Throughput costing, Activity based costing, Bench-marking techniques, etc.
The activities automation has led to attaining of maximum efficiency possible in some areas which wasn't possible in the past. The robots management systems, activity automation, etc has increased the fixed cost share in the total cost and the variable cost has become a very minute share of the total cost of the activity. This variable cost which is often referred to as controllable cost, is very less in percentage share of total cost today than 10 years back. In the future, we will see it as a very very very small share of total cost. This makes the today's management costing techniques obsolete and requires new solutions, new techniques, new softwares, etc. to manage the companies operations.

Answer to Question 2:

The target costing is a costing technique that helps to reduce the cost of the company operations by setting cost targets for the operations. The first step under target costing is to set a selling price for the product and the second step is to set the target profit margin. Now at this position we are able to derive the target cost by taking the difference of profit margin and the selling price of the product. At this stage the actions and reforms required to achieve this target cost are determined and implemented in the current operating activities. The best part of the target costing is that it says that the pricing though matters but the main aspect of a product success is its cost controls. If the company is able to control the cost of the product then it can control the movement of prices in the market. So target costing specially focuses and stresses upon cost control procedures.

As Target costing is all about cost controlling and can be applied to any sector. In Ghana, target costing will help to control the cost of the services that the banking sector renders to its customers. This reduction in services cost can be achieved by automation, installation of new softwares, Investing in automated teller machines, etc. By gaining efficiencies, the banking sector will substantially reduce its cost thus achieving its target cost.

By achieving the target cost the bank will have to sell at the same rate as the bank had invested its time and money in efficiency gaining activities. There are a lot of activities and products that can be automated and that can help to achieve the target cost. For example, promoting internet banking will reduce the cost of ATM management, paper cost, management time, additional branch opening or extension of building, etc. We can see how easily internet banking will assist the banking sector to achieve its target costs.

Tool Manufacturing has an expected EBIT of $ 39,000 in perpetuity and a tax rate of 33 percent. The firm has $ 80,000 in outstan

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

$208,530

Explanation:

The computation of value of levered firm is shown below:-

For computing the value of levered firm first we need to compute the Value of Unleavened firm

Value of unlevered firm = Earning before interest and tax × (1 - tax rate) ÷ Cost unlevered of Capital

= $39,000 × (1 - 33%) ÷ 15%

= $39,000 × 0.67 ÷ 15%

= $39,000 × 4.67

= $182,130

Now, the Value of levered firm = Value of unlevered firm + Outstanding debt × Tax rate

= $182,130 + $80,000 × 33%

= $182,130 + $26,400

= $208,530

"Boeing Company was scheduled to deliver several of its 747-400 jumbo jetliners to Northwest Airlines by December 31, 1988. Nort

MAXImum [283]

Answer: NO, Northwest

Airlines can not recover lost credit tax, it has been forfeited.

Explanation:

What is a CREDIT TAX, this are grants given by government which is therefore used in replacing OLD APPLIANCES, and help tax payer reduce their total cost of housing unit.

As a result when due and over a year or more of request, it would be termed as unrecoverable.

The BOEING company, is an aviation company that manufactures Airplanes, jets and other airline Gadget, which are considered fast and reliable.

Boeing company airplanes and jetliners can fly 416 passenger within the range of 13,450kilometer, (8,360) miles.

The NORTHWEST AIRLINES, are in business with Boeing company and made several orders.

Due to the high expectance of getting a credit tax, on the investment they made on the JUMBO JETLINERS, from the boeing company, they put up a deadline, with an investment of $16 million

Now, due to TAX BREAK given to airlines and credits tax, the northwest wanted to use this medium to offset their cost and mitigate their future revenue and profit.

Since, the Boeing company failed in meeting up with the deadline made by the Northwest airlines which was to be as at DEC, 31st 1988.

Northwest airlines lost the credit tax they were to receive, on the planes they were expecting, and therefore decided to recover those lost credit tax from the Boeing company.

This is where the north airlines would request for a discount on the cost of the airplanes they invested on, or requiring a total refund because they couldn't meet their target.

Boeing company will definitely be at loss, due to the cost over head they encountered during production process, which they definitely won't agree to.

The credit tax has been forfeit, because its exceed more than a year of request and cannot be demanded for anytime in future.

Why do southeast asian farmers continue to practice slash-and-burn agriculture and shifting cultivation?

vovangra [49]

For all the technology coming out of China today, its rural community is still very primitive. Farmers in the Western World have found ways to scientifically improve their growing techniques. Crop rotations allow for nutrient rich plants to regenerate the soil every other year. Also letting a field go fallow one years allows for recovery of soil. There are many other ways the West is improving their crops and educating new farmers in agriculture science. However, southeast Asian farmers to do not have access to this technology or sometimes computers/internet. They are using the same techniques that they have for over a thousand years. Until education is available for them or they are taught different they will continue to use the same techniques taught by their father. Even to the detriment of their land.
