Answer:

Infant industry.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Company Z is a U.S. company that is the first in this country to produce a good that is already produced in many foreign countries and sold in the United States. Most likely, the argument it will voice in its attempt to be protected from foreign competition is the infant industry argument.

An infant industry can be defined as an industry that is still in its early stages of development and as such are not capable of competing with foreign companies.

<em>Hence, according to the infant industry theory the argument would be that infant industries should be offered some kind of protection from competitors in other industries either foreign or local until they mature and develop a good and reputable economies of scale. </em>

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

$11.1

Explanation:

We can calculate the factory overhead allocated to a unit using multiple department factory overhead rate methods with an allocation base of direct labor hours. In this method, we will divide the te total overhead cost in direct labor hours consumed in that department.

Solution

Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing = $550,000/500,000

Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing = $1.10  per hour

Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production = $400,000/80,000

Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production = $5

Overhead for DeskLamps = (Direct labor hours in Finishing x Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing + Direct Labor hours in Production x Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production)

Overhead for DeskLamps= (1x$1.10 + 2x$5)

Overhead for DeskLamps= $11.1

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Net income -$268,000

Operating Cash Flow $511,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Net income

INCOME STATEMENT

Sales $2,560,000

Cost of goods sold $1,364,000

Other expenses $685,000

Depreciation $477,000

EBIT $34,000

Interest $302,000

Taxable income -$ 268,000

($34,000-$302,000)

Taxes (24%) 0

Net income -$268,000

CALCULATION FOR EBIT

Sales $2,560,000

LESS:Cost of goods sold ($1,364,000)

Other expenses ($685,000)

Depreciation ($477,000)

EBIT $34,000

Based on the information given we were told that we should ignore any tax loss which was why Taxes (24%) was $0

The taxes are zero since we are ignoring any carryback or carryforward provisions.

Therefore NET INCOME is -$268,000

B. Calculation for operating cash flow

Using this formula

Operating Cash Flow = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Let plug in the formula

Operating Cash Flow= $34,000 + $477,000 - 0

Operating Cash Flow = $511,000

Therefore Operating Cash Flow is $511,000

Howard Enterprises, which has three departments, recently reported the following results: A B C Sales revenue $ 12,000 $ 48,000
almond37 [142]

Answer:

<em>Department C should be closed</em>

Explanation:

To determine whether or not it will be profitable to drop a loss making department, we compare the savings in fixed cost to the lost contribution from the division.

For Howard Enterprises, the department with a negative contribution should be closed otherwise its operation would reduce the overall profit by the amount of the negative contribution.

So lets work out the contribution for each department by adding back the apportioned fixed cost. See table below

                                                           A                B                C

                                                            $                $                $             Total

Sales Revenue                               12,000      48,000        40,000    100,000

Operating cost                              11,400        59,800        50,500

Operating income                           600         (11,800)        (10,500)

*Add back apportioned fixed cost<u> 3,000       12,000        10,000</u>

Contribution                                   3,600        200            (500)

*Apportioned fixed cost

A- 12,000/100,000× 25,000 = 3,000

B- 48,000/100000   × 25,000 = 12,000

C- 40,000/100,00×25,000 = 10,000

From the above analysis, Department C generates a negative contribution.<em> It implies that it can barely cover its direct cost and so will deplete the total profit by its negative contribution. Hence, it should be closed</em>

<em>Department C should be closed</em>
